Honest mistake let's move on like TPL :D

It's not exactly what my thoughts are. In current condition, one must go in for a good and strong deal that has great potential (like an aircraft carrier). The additional buffer may be partially or totally depleted even when there is a downturn. A sampan resembles a bad investment which will shave off the initial purchase price by more than 20%. This is just too risky. (
Mine is really purely for staying. BTO is out for me as my partner is very particular about location. There hardly any BTO in good location and i dont now how long i have to wait and further more i might not get a good q number. And im also worried about the ever escalating price of the property. So i decided to get one with the price im comfortable with. I can always change in future. Sell high buy high, Sell low buy low. Thats my theory.
Correction. I stressed again surrounded by HDB to me is not a con. But you are definitely wrong by stating its surrounded by HDB. You are the one who is trying to shift away from your mistakes. Anyway no point going further on this. Pointless. Not many pple is ready to admit their mistakes. Its very common everywhere. Just lets talk about other things
I reiterate:
1) I posted "The development site is surrounded by HDB flats and industrial estate with cars zooming down PIE just next to it.", and not only HDB. I still stand by it. :doh:
2) Although in your own words above, 'surrounded by HDB' is not a con to you but it is a con to me as the surrounding view ain't fantastic. :tsk-tsk: (I am entitled to my opinion and you, to yours. So again, I don't think I am wrong in voicing out what I saw.):beats-me-man:
3) I still do not thinks there is anything 'wrong' with my opinion about this development and therefore I conclude that there is no mistake in my views; just a difference in opinions. You statement about me shifting away from 'mistake' do not stand then. ;)
4) I like to ask again "Who are you to judge what I say as right or wrong?" when it is only my personal opinion. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
5) Finally, different strokes for different folks; one man's poison is another man's meat. If you think you have gotten a good deal and love the place you have bought, why care about what others have said?:p
And the only thing I agree with you is there is no point in going on with this conversation. We have to agree to disagree. Period.

I actually went on site on Sunday and visited the ntuc fairprice. Its a small scale one. Something like a Econ Minimart. And theres one next to it haha. Also 24hours. About 10min walk from Vacanza if you know the way well. Also realised that bus 42 terminal is actually at the bus stop near the mrt. One good thing is that the bus wont be crowded when it reaches the stop outside Vacanza. But you must really get hold of the timing well. Iris is definitely useful here.

U shd hf waited n get belysa....3bedders from 57xk only...to me its a fantasic buy....cannot lose money deal
The unfortunate thing is that some may have to hold on to it for years becos cannot sell high as they have bought too high.

The one thing i didnt manged to find out is where is the bin located? centralised? or individual?
i repeat again..it is certainly NOT surrounded by hdb or industrial estate.
the PIE is at the back section of vacanza n if your unit is not facing the highway,it is ok. the hdb blocks is located across the PIE which is quite a distance away.
i used to live in that area for more than 20yrs n i still frequent there to visit...so who is in a better position to give a better description here? :spliff:

hi Fiat500
when i was back in spore .. from airport to my condo .. the cab driver took PIE and i believe the condo i saw was Vacanza ?
i have not lived near highway ... but when i went to a friend's place at Spanish Villa ... his is inner block ..almost reaching Sommerville park .. i could still hear the traffic along farrer road ...
since you have lived in that area ... do u think those blocks away from PIE willl NOT be noisy ?
comparing traffic volume, PIE is heavier than farrer road ...
does that mean if it is noisy, it will be almost a 24 hr thingy ?
farrer rd is heavy during peak hr only, compared to PIE ...right
care to share some info ?
i personally kind of like D14, kembangan area... its much cheaper than Frankel , yet has an mrt station ...
No doubt nearer to highway is noisy but if you get used to it, you simply don't feel that it is noisy. I was staying near to highway too though not directly. When I open my windows, I don't feel it noisy at all but when I shut the windows, then I realise that it is so quiet.:cheers6:
My god-sister stayed in CCK just next to overhead MRT. We went to her house and when the train passed by, we found that it was very noisy but to her, she simply can't feel it at all.:cool:

not gd for our ears and heart/blood pressure etc
Besides noise, the more detrimental ones to our health are the constituents of the exhaust fumes such as soots, NOx, etc. If one has a choice, will not want to be near one.

Ya.. if you can't take the plane noises, better sell before TOP.
Anyway, got Dakota Residences residents complain to MP and the MP have feedback to Mindef(Don't think they can do anything). But wilkinson road got one resident says he is fined with the noise. So there will be people who get used to the noise and there are some who can't stand it.

Quite coincidentally, my other half used to stay around the area. :)

but definitely next to PIE and beside industrial park:p
My god-sister stayed in CCK just next to overhead MRT. We went to her house and when the train passed by, we found that it was very noisy but to her, she simply can't feel it at all.:cool:
My current hdb unit is close to the track of the MRT...about 100meters away. At 5plus each morning, my other half can hear the train going pass even with us sleeping in an aircon room. Luckily, he wakes up around that time for work and so isn't a problem. As for me, I'm a heavy sleeper and thus the noise does not bother me at all. :D

It's erratic. Probably twice or thrice per week and there is no fix timing. Duration is quite short around 5mins max and probably only once or twice per day. Yes. Sometimes 9.30pm. But have not encountered 10pm onwards.
This place is definitely very livable if you can get used to the flight noise. I mean compared to the whole stretch of meyer till marine parade which has the ECP noise all day and night, I think I prefer Dakota.
But of course.. got money .. go for the best of the best for waterfront living...imho Reflections, MBR/Sail, Sentosa Cove. Shiok! :)

if your unit is facing inwards towards the landed properties,it is definitely ok to live in. traffic noise from the PIE is very very very minimal or maybe u wont even be able to hear a thing also.
but like i said before,u need a car or bicycle to live in vacanza.:cheers6: :cheers6:

Its same like the noise produced by ur fan or aircon... you will get used to it and sometimes you feel absolutely unease when the night is extremely quiet.

Does this condo offer free shuttle bus? Otherwise it is a long walk under hot sun to mrt. Also bus frequency is bad. Maybe can raise up to the new ministry of transport
Wonder if the 807sqft 2 bedders or 2+ study are still available? :beats-me-man:

1 year free shuttle to the mrt station provided by the developer..:cheers6: :cheers6:
shuttle runs during normal hrs,not sure whats the frequency.
If they have a back gate that opens besides the tennis court and build a footpath along PIE beside the AMD and JTC blocks to the overhead bridge, the walking distance to the new Bedok Town Park MRT will be around 650m.

Usually how long will a 400-500 units project takes to complete? 2 years?
i was hoping this will go faster as well lol
it has been more than 6 months since i get one unit and still foundation still not finished
they say it will take around 6 more months when i buy it to complete foundation.

hey Akira, good stuff ... you aware if they had raised the price already or remains the same?
i Bought a 2 bedder ... at Blk 38 ... yea, i love vacanza @ east, its not that inconvenient as what is mentioned in the forum i would think, as its just 3 bus stops away from the MRT, just like taking a feeder bus.
its okay .... however, i am worried about the noise though, as i am facing the x'way, but the further ones as i am facing the pool first then x'way and hearing from peeps in the forum saying it might be an issue, so anyways bought it already so... good luck ;)

any good recommendation other than this? Freehold + Full condo facilities and i think the entire land area is quite large. I think the plot ratio is 2.1.
Budget $700k
can we trust the pricing in Propertyguru? looks inflated to me

Hey Akira, thanks for your interest in Beacon Heights. It is indeed cheaper than those in Potong Pasir, Balestier, Toa Payoh, Bishan, Jalan Besar, Farrer Park, and Novena even though they are close by. I do not have the answer. You can say St Micheal's Road estate houses, apartments and condos have not realised their value. I am excited to see new developments in this area in the near future. AllGreen has two plots of land yet developed, Regent Court has en bloc and a new condo is rising from the plot, the huge HDB land sold to private developer to built a private condo has been barricaded and it looks like United Engineer (UE) Group is going to be on sale soon, Euro-Asia is still up for en bloc, and Beacon Heights, Airstream and Riverside Melodies are due for completion next year. It is pretty exciting for this area.
Vacanza is a good buy too. Most importantly, we have at least a property to start with. Have a great day.

This project is like EUHabitat...near the expressway, district 14, big and beautiful...how come it is not moving as fast as EUhabitat I wonder?...big potential if the developer opens it to the China market...:scared-5:

What could be the reasons why Euhabitat move units faster off the top of my head.
1) More accessible to public transport. (Buses, MRT and Cabs)
2) Easier to get to the expressways
3) Better fittings and finishing at a decent price compared to Vacanza@East (though Vacanza's FH)
4) Massive marketing campaign done by FEO

Erm this one is 15 min from the mrt
Right beside the expressway and fitting are all fantastic!
The only difference is the marketing campaign. I think I'm glad to neither have bout EUHabitat and Vancanza....:p :p :p :p :p :p

Vacanza is Kembagan area
Someone help me out- where exactly is Euhabitat and Vacanza?
EuHabitat is located in eunos area while vacanza is in kembangan.
both are nice n its better to drive if staying there.
still long way to t.o.p for both but vacanza should b ready 1st.:cheers6:
Erm this one is 15 min from the mrt
Right beside the expressway and fitting are all fantastic!
The only difference is the marketing campaign. I think I'm glad to neither have bout EUHabitat and Vancanza....:p :p :p :p :p :p
I'm pretty sure one can get to the mrt , cabs and buses faster and more convenient than the residents in Vacanza East. Fittings i'm also quite sure FEO did a better job than Hoi Hup.
But i have to agree the marketing campaign is much much more successful for EuHabitat than Vacanza East.
The plus for this development over Euhabitat is really that it's FH at a slightly more expensive price.
Hi devilplate,
What the rationale for that comment ?
flamingo v also quite deep in...
Is it traffic concern ?
Have u check the plot of land just directly next to Flamingo V ...:spliff2: :scared-3:

lol.... I think mark doesn't know :doh:
the look and feel of flamingo v is rather conducive if you can get past the you know what.
the prices can be describe at best "creative" with different tier of TOP rebate but upfront changes in selling price to attract the buyer.
but have OTas this is vacanza thread not flamingo

Actually last I've heard vacanza still have units left. At $1080psf for FH it is very good price!!! EU Habitat's concept is different so I shall not compare oranges to apples. But I must say Vacanza for that pricing is very good, though mrt is about 10-15min walk with no shelter. But freehold very very value for money.
EU habitat also sure to appreciate when DTL up and it will be a very premium gated community. But I will still choose vacanza cos I drive, so mrt not very impt to me.

But decided against getting a unit there as I find the location really too inwards even though I drive and do not need the mrt.
The agent there told me this project was launched some time back at a lower price, but wasn't selling too well. But when EU was about to launch, sparked renewed interest due to the fh status as compared to EU's lh99.
Decided on getting a unit at EU instead, as I like the overall concept of the project and the convenient location as well. But for VE, the fh status is definitely a big plus.

Indeed but I found it not big deal.
I bought a unit in Block 40 and first payment in early April only.
Halo,
Being a fellow Vacanza owner, I have been quietly observing this interesting forum and decided to add to the on-going discussions today.
Regarding Vacanza, I am pleased to see that more sales transactions recorded for this development and also the continued development of this fabulous landed housing area (e.g. Levenue etc).
Regarding this area, I have a long term vision that the landed housing would be eventually sold to developers and turned into high-rise luxury condos. a la Telok Kurau (previous residence).
this is my 5 cents worth of opinion. :2cents: wonder whether anybody has something to add.
Cheers

bottom one is block 42. now is at Leve 11.

Block 40 is about level 3 i guess... cant really see 48 and 50, should be about level 5-6.
36 and 38 will be the slowest because of the showflat occupying their area.

Human nature to say negative stuff and keep the compliments to themselves. Dont regret your purchase if you truly genuinely liked it when you bought it. If you love it, the value is priceless regardless wat others say, just like how I love my TODO Boys...regardless of the nice things the darling angels say...
That is right, no property is good or bad, there always people with different taste and afterall there sure to have other buyers who share the same taste and judgement as u who like this project. Other factors include the layout and surrounding facilities could be another factors to considers. End of the day, trust yourself and confidence of your judgement :ashamed1:

Hi Dtrax, cherrywood is worth looking at because of its location and pricing. Its 1184 psf is definitely lower than similar condo La Vida (1,400 psf). If only I have the money to buy one more for investment. :p personally I won't stay in a flat smaller than 1,000 sqft as I need storage space.
Talking about Vacanza, it's location is quiet, pricing/size is also attractive and also offers a resort lifestyle. This is where I want to stay. Build faster. :D

no bay window n planter box is good but bomb shelter is good to have cos can use as stowage room otherwise very troublesome hv to seek alternatives to create stowage area.

Did anyone see the latest caveat in May? Someone paid 1,217psf for a 2BR, 6-10 floor. wow!
How did you know its 6-10 floor?

it's stated in the URA caveat. there's an iphone app for it - check under transactions.
Is developer providing free shuttle service to mrt the 1st couple of years?
I recall them saying there's free shuttle for the first year to Bedok and Kembangan MRT station. Thereafter will be decided by the management committee.
Can any1 tell me if the developer will give layout drawing with full exact dimension upon TOP/handover?

I would suppose they would... minimally when the keys are given otherwise how shop for furniture and lights.

Whats the pros Eu Habitat is having over Vacanza? I can see that their pricing is almost on par or more expensive given that it is a LH.

My guess is that comparatively, Eu Habitat has more amentities nearby. Also, FEO seems to price their developments higher. perhaps to cover for their marketing costs? :D
visited the haig road showflat over the weekend.. have to say the 3br showflat feels really cramped. finishings seem pretty average too...

it'a also available for android.
now 48 units left.
Essentially, both Vacanza and EU are not near enough to amenities (MRT, Shopping centers, coffee shops, Grocery Stores). Gotta drive or else a living nightmare everyday.

Oh ya, Vacanza has a convenience store within itself. Anybody knows whether the same for EU Habitat?

15 min to 20min Walking from shop / mrt. Even longer distance from my current to novena mrt. Headache if the condo convenient shop is not open. Need time to get use to the lifestyle like that. As my current place is too convenient to most of the places.
No choice, have to accept it as i can't afford to own a property that is convenient,near all the amenities,full facilities and freehold. All property got the pros and cons.
Luckily i'm ok with the quiet environment surrounding with private houses:)

Theres a 24hr ntuc and econ minimart at blk 110 lengkong tiga... i would said its 10mins away.
Sounds like a downgrade by location but upgrade in terms of quietness.
While walking seems to be a challenge, cycling may be an alternative transport to ammenities. Mentioned before that I rode a bicycle from east coast park to Vacanza. The most challenging is the hilly roads, switch to low gear and pedal hard.

There's always cold storage online! heh. that being said, it's really one of the lowest psf for a freehold property. btw, found out that a 2BR(level 2) - 840sf costs $933 now. seems like the prices has gone up a little.
I checked and there are about 30 unsold units left, more than half are penthouses. the stacks facing the landed properties are only left with one PES unit at stack 8 and one level 2 at stack 6. the rest of the units are at stack 2 & 4.
I think the future Bedok North MRT will be nearer than Kembangan.
Does any1 know where the rubbish chute is located?
Maybe next to the Tai Chi Lawn?

I think crossing the bridge to Bedok Reservoir side, you need to walk 20-25mins at least.

Theres always the shutter and feeder bus. 20mins frequency isnt that bad. Have to give n take for that lower price. Driving itself it a nightmare now given the high car prices
I would rather pay 1000psf for FH condo than 1400psf for LH condo in the Northeast. In the long run, I like the idea of leaving a property for my children.
I really like to see the Vacanza thread warming up. :im-so-happy: Let us keep this flame burning till TOP! :flaming-head:

the feeder bus will take forever to come while the free shuttle is only provided for 1yr foc by developer..staying there is nice,the shortfall is the distance to the amenities. u will only feel it if u are staying there..
take it from me cos i lived there for 21yrs...
not to talk down the project but i m just giving a realistic picture of how was it staying there...:cheers5:

Totally agree with you on your comparison with a more conveniently located LH property. The differential of 400psf works out to be savings of $322k ifor a 807 - 2BR. can easily buy 2 toyotas with the amount saved. Plus, I like the serenity of the area.
I stayed at Telok Kurau for 10 years. Bus 15 and 155 took forever to come. No amenities in sight. I am an idea of how was it staying in a similar place. :)
It boils down to what you prefer - quietness or convenience. :p

Forever? i tried before, not that bad lah, though the timing is not very accurate,
+- 3min is ok to me.

yeah then you +/- the 3 mins then dash down to the bus stop! Works for me! ;)

that's also why most people who bought this place are for self stay and not for investment. all looking for quietness!
Well, I agree with you on all point except this.
There is a higher proportion of sold 1+1, 2 bdrm units than others, and if I am not wrong, these smaller units were sold first. I am assuming that smaller units are for investment rather than self stay.
If you look at the remaining units, mostly penthouses with bigger size quantum.

I take 155 quite often too, the waiting time is normally between 15~20 mins, got to be very very patient with it...

Hi Fellow Neighbours - Do you guys see a potential problem in the condo itself next time with 473 units, there are only 485 lots, (4 handicap lots & 7 visitor lots)
No one in the condo can own 2 cars, and the whole condo can't have more than 8 visitors at one time.

As far as I know, most condos have about 1:1 ratio of units:car-park lots, isn't this the norm?

Most condos i know have the allowance of letting residents owning 2 cars and have ample visitor lots, inputs anyone ?

After seeing a few new launches, I feel that 1:1 ratio for car parks is pretty decent already. Of course we cannot compare this against the older establishments. Well at least we don't have to resort to mechanical car park lots.

13-06-12, 17:40
i wonder where the guards will direct the visitors to when its full ? no entry maybe ? illegal park at residents' haha....

quite standard for new condo but better than ATT (882 units but only 809 + 4 handicap lots).
some may claim that not all family own car as the condo is near MRT. but i still think this may create potential problem if no of units > no of carpark.

Apparently it can be but it's more of the wait time to get your car out of the carpark. If it spoils, good luck in getting your car out. Was reading the Kembangan Suites thread and they seem to have this problem previously.
i wonder where the guards will direct the visitors to when its full ? no entry maybe ? illegal park at residents' haha....
hahahaha the guard also probably don't know whether it's full or not but high chance they will park at the residents'. Later the residents of the landed property will complain! Some condos do not allow visitors to park overnight in the premises.

13-06-12, 20:19
yes, i'm sure this problem will arise. Residents complaint no parking lot for them, landed property complaint, visitors complaint no lot for them to park, residents complaint to mgmt that their visitor no place to park ... teething issue.

maybe thats why all the penthouse still unsold, coz they are limited to one car only ...
