Any residents of Glendale Park here care to give a review ?
How does it match up with the rest of the condo in Hillview ?

TIA

its free form pool is nice and the gym is good size ! IF u like hillview area, think the current 600psf for a FH is worth it..

thanks for your feedback kal ... :)

i like it that its nestle at the corner of hillview ave where its not that clustered with other development and you can really have some "hillview" .. also the proximity from the future hillview mrt station ..

not sure what will become of the plot of land diagonally opposite it though ...

are you a resident there ?

Glendale Park is just beside Mindef and the Malaysia-Singapore Railway Track. It is also out of the way from amenities except The Rail Mall with hardly anything except eateries, a supermarket and a video shop. The MRT station in front of the Salvation army is a long shot away (7 years). If you have a car and enjoy being tucked away from the rest of the world, this is the place. if you rely on public transport like the MRT, this is definitely not a place to buy. A better condo to look at would be signature park with a huge piece of land that you can spend a whole day walking inside. the condo is not too far from bt timah shopping area and the canadian school and is priced far below park natura (1k psf) although it is in a better location than the latter....

thanks for your feedback ..

true to a certain extend .. mrt will only come @ 2015 ..

but doesn't glendale park have a side gate where you can exit to hillview road and just take a short walk up to standard chartered where there are a number of buses plying the route?

Signature park seems not bad too but tucked too far into jalan jurong kechil where not many buses ply ??

Agreed! Glendale is a much better bet vs Signature Park. U just need to deal with construction inconveniences from 2nd half 2010 to 2014.

My point of comparison between glendale and signature park takes into consideration the following:

1. more amenities
2. better facilities
3. prospect of en-bloc with larger land area in propotion to number of units
4. proximity to main shopping area in bukit timah
5. under D21, not 23
6. No Railway track beside the development
7. walking distance to future MRT station near beauty world
8. close proximity to International school in the area

The above are reasons why Signature would be a better bet as compared to Glendale. My advice is take a stroll around the inside of signature park and glendale and make a physical comparison. Many units at signature are tenanted out and the only reason i can see is that the place is in high demand among foreign students and expats.

Fyc, U might wan to consider DAIRY FARM which is diagonally opp. to GLENDALE PARK but does not have the Malayan Railway Track/MINDEF limitatins and the traffic bottleneck issue in Hillview Avenue facing by the latter.

It is also just beside the hillview mrt station when it's up and running. I am currently on the lookout at dairy farm for a possible investment. ;)

I stayed there many yrs ago. To be honest, I didnt hear any train sound as my unit is facing main gate. If u consider hillview area, means u like hillview compare to bukit timah/jurong kechil side. So why compare with signature park? The side gate to Rail Mall is within 5mins walk. To me, bukit timah shopping centre is not as good as rail mall !!

Another development that u can consider is Parc Palais.. I find it appealing too..

Will wish you the best in finding your perfect home in hillview area. just a last word of advice, remember to check the past trasacted prices in that area and do a comparison first. mkt is heading south for condo, so you shud take this opp to grab a bargain, not buy at the high....:)

Based on the current situation, seems like only the resale is going south. Subsale is going north. New launches going east-west (not up not down) :D .

will the new mrt station close to Glendale ? any idea how long will be the walk ?

Signature Park seems good too. But the canadian school is moving away to Jurong beside Lakeshore condo, I guess the expat will also relocate as well.

Wat is a reasonable PSF for both condo ?

Like dairy farm, but price is way too high.

The proposed Hillview Station just behind Glendale Park (can enter near the Std Chartered bank) which mean you don't even need to cross a road to take MRT. Under the URA Master Plan, the land opposite it will be developed into shopping mall. The natural reserve behind Salvation Army will be openned soon as a recreational park (u can see the new car park is ready & waiting for official opening). Hillview condos will definately become hotspots in the next boom especially those that are near to the MRT station.

Just curious, is it still at 'proposed' stage? So beauty world tt one is the one to use right (if according to one post in this thread)?

Which other condos near this proposed Hillview MRT besides Glendale? Hillington Green? Hume Park 1 & 2 too far hor? :confused:

This one is cute .. lol ... quite true for new launches but not sure about subsale (you mean condos right? still north meh?) vs. resale (do you mean re-launch coz the term often being used for HDB leh) ...

Was referring to subsale of condos going to TOP. Prices all going up compared to launched prices. No firesale so far despite the recession.

guys remember that the mrt is 7 years away, almost a decade. U buy hillview now but u may not even continue to live there when mrt is up as circumstances may change. Most important is u must the place as it is now not what is will be like years down the road

Hi, i was seriously looking at Glendale Park unit abt 8mths back but gave up later. Most outer-facing units have some West Sun while those facing East have the KMT trains passing by. The KMT train sound can be quite loud esp on mornings and evenings.

Frequency is not as frequent as MRT but sound is generally louder cos MKT trains are those old type which rest on tracks.

hillview heights facade looks old , Glendale looks more well maintained, they repainted the building not too long ago.
The train noise is loud by the way ..

Hmm.. but Glendale is FH right?

Maybe can secure a unit for rental at average or below average prices and hope that the MRT would bring huge capital appreciation later on. Don't make it end up like a white elephant.

A caution regarding proposed or underconstruction MRT station, lesson learnt from Nicol Highway incident. Maybe there will be stones too hard to bore in bukit timah resulting in route deviation etc. You never know for certain until the thing is up.

I would still choose Diary Farm over Glendale if I have the cash to invest.

nearest place to buy groceries n eat is rail mall whch is a very long walk away. DF seems a little out of place especially when people usually take that road towards SLE. Got to drive to live in DF at least til the MRT cmes up in 7 years time. I wud rather go for old cndos in toh tuck or near beauty world if u really want to go 4 the old dev. Just MO

when tunneling work starts, folks living in Diary Farm, Cashew Heights, Maysprings have escape road via Diary Farm, Cashew and Petir Road thru to BKE. The other condos along Upper Bukit Timah, Hillview will be trapped in serious daily traffic bottleneck and at the same time bear the full brunt of construction noise and pollution for at least 3-5 years.

26-05-09, 16:35
That's part of e reasons Y i would choose DF over GP cos GP's hillview avenue is always jammed with AM and PM traffic...depending on traffic flow whereas DF's road are all major trunk roads.

I did my research on Glendale Park.

20 years old freehold
285k sq ft of land
448 units
Each unit owns roughly ard 600 sq ft of real land

A glimpse at the recent GLS just beside them which was bought by City Dev at S$1,067 psf ppr for a 99 leasehold land. Means break even for them is ard $1,300 psf
Glendale Park is freehold and currently transacted at ard S$1,150 psf not forgetting its 50m away from HillView DTL from back gate. Much more convenient and valuable than Hiller and or the new City Dev land.

Also bigger piece of land with understated livable GFA. 3 tennis courts and many big rectangular shaped grass patches unused

All GLS around that area has a 2.8 plot ratio given
Glendale only has a 1.92 plot ratio.

Can we potentially see Glendale plot ratio to be revised to 2.8 for the next Masterplan? Even without the revision of its plot ratio, Glendale Park is indeed a deep value purchase those that holds on to it in the next 10 years might see value unlock either via enbloc or price apreciation.

Hillview DTL is just 7 mins away to Tan Kah Kee(Nanyang Primary, Hwa Chong)

The deep value aspect of it is due to the huge price disconnect between the new launches(all 99 years) and the old freehold dev(much nearer to mrt and much more sparse). Glendale is also very well maintained by Knight Frank

Risk

1) Covid19 pandemic will likely increase unemployment and decrease the number of property sales. True

2) Property prices are laggard to our economy. Prices may drop just like during the Sars period.Drop is true but not like Sars

3) More force sale after the 8 months loan deferment could potentially cause property prices to tank if the pandemic is still not resolved.Not True with the repricing and refinance without TDSR

4) Increase in vacancy rate due to a reduction in foreign pmet and employment pass holders, this will cause rental rates to weaken and ultimately property prices to drop.Not True if you got the Data
