I feel like getting a low-rise 2-bedder penthouse (alternative to a unit near a beach) as there will be several small developments launching soon Just wonder if it is worth the $ for own enjoyment or for rental (as compared to usual 2 bedder)

i feel tat penthouses to be high up and command nice view. low-floor penthouses in boutique development may not be a good idea
what is a definition of a penthouse?
Recall an article that most penthouses are actually maisonette?
Penthouse means top level... U have single or double level penthouses.
Low rise penthouse is good if near reservoir, best view, peaceful and quiet.
Low rise penthouse near hdb is a bad mistake. Even the hdb folks look down on you. Get it?
High rise penthouse excellent, the sail, concourse skyline, south bank and the other one near mrt. FH. Good choices.
Penthouses are landed equivalent in the sky. First floor units are landed equivalent on the ground but much worst.
99 yrs no thanks. Will the penthouse b hot during e day?Originally Posted by kingkong1984
They're kidding right, you could buy a brand new cluster home at that kind of price. And on top of that, they're asking $300k above valuation. The agent must be damn desperate to advertise for this seller.

This one got garden on roof top, like world war 2 bunker. Very cool.Originally Posted by hyenergix
IMO, penhouse unit got a lot of wasted PSF if one is not an outdoor balcony person.. Also a lot of bird shit to clean!
penhouse with sea view will be ideal. Others, can forget about it.Originally Posted by Piglet

Not mine, I am not supporting it alsoOriginally Posted by Rysk
Penthouse doesnt seem to be a good idea then. I guess it only looks good in brochure.
i like the idea of no one above u while everyone is below u ~
How about no one above u and below u? Landed, pure landed. If need swimming pool, go for cluster.Originally Posted by august
Pick high rise penhouse with unblock view. Bird can't fly up so high and confirm no bird shit.

The worst is, the rain water wash all the dust from the roof top to your unit. This depends how the developer take care of this problem. If not, then good luck.
For low rise PHs, those with plot ratio of 1.4, the PHs just look into other houses or roof of other houses nearby, terrible.
For high rise PHs, u look down, everything is so small, u look up, the view could be a million dollars view...

Hard time finding buyers also. Please help.
Thanks for sharing. Penthouse really looks very hot during the day.
probably got to use wooden decking.Originally Posted by jc
den again, high-rise PHs most windy, isn't it.. natural air-con.. some come with jacuzzi?
In general given same location etc, high rise PH more ex than low rise right? If that is the case then can assume high rise better that is why it commands a premium?
Penthouse, a strange creature. CCR penthouses cream of the crop, RCR and OCR penthouses are not quite the same. Why do I say so? go compare prices.
No 1 rule, OCR penthouse can never be more expansive than a landed, otherwise go for landed.
No 2 rule, if want a swimming pool plus landed experience. Cluster housings are there to bridge the gap. So penthouses in OCR cannot be more expansive than cluster housing.
No 3 rule, penthouse cannot be cheaper than HDB in the same vicinity. If selling for a song, you are probably wrong in buying too.
Compare PSF.
So the last thing a buyer need to know is the premium placed for outdoor living. Which is to be neutralized by wind, birdshit, sun and rain n water seepage. Not many people fancy penthouses when it is old. And considered tool big for many!

Nav14's unit maybe. Lots of penthouses on sale since Estuary launch, so I know it's not easy for these owners. They might be trapped if they have committed somewhere else and have to dispose these quickly.
Agent Peter consider these? good right?
