Agree on this, the pricing is a letdown. Maybe if they built MM sized units with even higher psf$ but lower quantum, sales would have been betterOriginally Posted by bargain hunter

We also visited the showflat few weeks ago, simply lovely and we love it. But price is too high, so high that we find it hard to accept... We are too poor to afford it.Originally Posted by bargain hunter

I trhink the ones facing the entrance are the one very near to the HDB Rubbish Collection Center.Originally Posted by bakasa2002
UOL very unlucky this time. This project was budgeted and designed as if the mkt is at the top. Even copy from LKS's idea of "townhouses" thinking selling to foreigners earn big big. And just when it's launched, CM5 came. I went to see it just before CM5, it was very crowdy just like any other new launch. CM5 killed all the interest.
Ya, it is one of the 2 blk near the bins but not as near as the strata houses! I think it is stack 12 for 3bdrOriginally Posted by focus
I like the layout, find it v livable, esp the 3bdr but agree the finishing also so-so and site plan is really tight w so many blocks. The strata houses just make it worst. They could have build some facilities in that area. Of cos Im thinking from a home owner instead of developer pt of view.Originally Posted by devilplate
Looking at the 3bdr, quantum abt 1.3mil, it was also out of my reach too.Originally Posted by PV Excit
We also like the place and wanted some convenience nearby. However, walking around the shops nearby was kind of depressing cos like machiam not doing that well, kopitiam, supermarket and some really weird shops! There is even a renal centre and noisy bird shop next to the show flat...

What do you guys feel would be an acceptable price for a pool-facing 3bedroom patio unit? Those are 1539sqft.
And the cons of a Patio? Cos my other half really likes the open space, for some small time gardening, and dogs. But I'm not too sure from an investment perspective, and hence intend to haggle on the price.
in my opinion a fair value would be ard 850 + psf ( not more than 900 )
as the other non-pes units are being quoted for 1K or even more (1050-1100)
so from an investment point - there is already a gain here and ground floor
units are popular if u decide to rent out - they seem to get rented out faster
i hve seen the show flat /floor plans and must agree design is very functional -
bedroom sizes good -walk in wardrobe for MBR - kitchen and yard separated by a door (which is quite rare in most new condos) - and there is a backyard area (PES) which gives a feel of staying in a landed pty - plus pool view -
by the way which stack n blk r u looking at
Thanks. Are you going to buy 1 too? Only a handful of 3bedroom patio left, and was looking at the pool facing ones.
well a relative of mine picked up the one a good unit number ground floor facing pool - so that's how i kinda of studied the project n commented
i think this is a one of its kind low rise development in the reservoir area
as most are high rise so potential is there
by the way what is the asking price now -

It is the only devt that has the reservoir park directly in its backyard so to speak.
Got to understand the character of the place.
Pros
Great to live near waterbody
Near to some basic amenities
Con
A fair walk to new mrt
Mrt won't be up till 2016-18
Might have more floaters
Occasional mid dew flies infestation

jumping off high rise apts - does that means everyone
have to vacate the block ? ?
tis is being taken care of by PUB with intl experts -
dont foresee it as permanent - it could be over when

The pool facing ones are going in the region of 1.4m, which comes up to about 900psf. This will be our 1st property, and we just want to make sure we will come out ok in the future.
Do you mind PM how much your relative paid for the patio unit?
have PM a while ago
well go where yr heart feels - if u and family like the location then
it doesnt matter whatever others say - that's how i look at it
further i dont think closer to 900psf it can go wrong as its in a mature
estate -
property need to take a long term view - and i m sure it will turn out
fine in the future

Agreed, this project is pretty nice for self stay. Gonna be relatively near the new MRT. probably not difficult to rent out too if ur asking is not too high.Originally Posted by chiaberry
Agree with this bro. The dogs will love the reservoir park behind. Not many places where the dogs can so easily find somewhere to run about and with so easy access without having to go on the road.Originally Posted by price
I don't think a 10 min walk to the MRT is a big deal. Consider it your small dose of daily exercise. It will pay dividends for your health in the long run. Just hope the road doesn't pond with water when it rains. But probably not as this property is on high ground.
If I had the means..... I would buy a unit in this development.Originally Posted by oreo
I like the environment.
If you feel good about it then consider seriously buying it.
I am holding back cos if I buy, it is for investment so it would be prudent to wait and see.
Yes i remember at the launch, was told that the units nearer to the MRT side are on higher ground than the opposite extreme.Originally Posted by chiaberry
if you walk 10 mins to the other direction u get Sheng Shiong and many good coffeeshops! this area aint that bad.
Ur holding back because u want ur FH land right?Originally Posted by buttercarp
Btw, i remember certain stacks in this development got Private Lifts. How do u think about that?

I like it very much. Just wonder what is security like for ground and first floor?
Does anyone know the ceiling height for the ground floor units ? thanks
