    Default Glendale park or hillier

    Which is a better buy? Glendale at 900 psf freehold or hillier ar 1100psf 99 years but new?

    Also saw latest caveat of glendale at 807psf for 1367Sqft ? Is that right or is it because it has lots of pes area?

    Glendale.
    Freehold.
    More space to stroll around in.
    Cross road can go Hillier to buy barang.

    Glendale and Hillington Green for your consideration. Hillview Heights is too old

    A lot of PES. About 15% of Glendale Park units are double volume ceiling at the top floor. And another 15% are ground floor units with a huge garden.

    1367 sq ft is probably only a 2 bedder of 1000sq ft with 367 sqft of "airspace" and PES.

    The standard size units fetch above 1000psf. Just going through the caveats - the standard size (with no PES and double volume ceiling) are 1,216, 1313, 1033 and 1,044 sq ft. Anything else probably has a lot of PES.

    Further from MRT. Park Palais interior finishing not up to mark and small windows. Symphony Height a bit cheesy with the pseudo European architecture but depend on your taste.

    Can consider Summerhill.

    Symphony Heights. When food runs out in Bukit Timah Hill or railway corridors. Family of monkeys will come. It happened before. I think it should not happen again due to DTL construction. Nature becomes no more nature. Hume station, D21. Not so close to Hillier

    Parc Palais. Slightly older. Hume station, D21. Not so close to Hillier.

    Overall, when they deforest this area for train construction. Animals like squirrels like to frequent condos in this area hopping around.

    Summerhill is good, used to be more expensive 5-7 years ago. District is 21 and not 23

    there is only one mrt right? hillview mrt next to SCB? previous plan was for a hume mrt but was finally scrapped isnt it? i.e. location wise, glendale park and hillview heights best.

    summerhill: yes nice too, but i think all units either face the noisy humming upper bukit timah road or will be West facing. this not too sure, bros..

    there will come a time when mrt no longer becomes a significant factor in property hunt. to have one mrt station near hillview and no other amenities like supermarkets, food centre, local banks, cinemas etc to me is not a plus point for the condo. the best is of course to be near mrt and other amenities. I think many home owners here hardly take the train and I for one do not take the train.

    Totally agree. MRT condos are way overhyped.

    What if COE is $100k again? What if one day you decide to rent it out? What if you decide to sell it?

    Then you must think about the number of expats renting east coast where there is no mrt? eateries and other amenities appeal to tenants, not just mrt. Brookvale in sunset way is unwalkable even to the main road, not to mention mrt, but you still get tenants who want to rent the place for its serenity.

    I think it depends on the individual. Not everyone likes to stay beside a cinema or lots of large shopping malls or pubs. Some prefer peace and exclusivity in their home.

    MRT would be an important factor now and in the future. I would say the lack of MRT would be a great disadvantage. As for Hillier, the shopping mall HillV2 will address some of the issues like supermarkets and food center. Once the MRT station is up, you're sure to find lots of retail and makan outlets within the station as well. And also the conserved rail corridor nearby and Bukit Timah Hill and Bt Batok Hill and Mindef and Dairy Farm conservation area would ensure green spaces remain where they are.

    that is what i have been saying...new launch high price nevermind there will be people who will bite no matter the price launched..developer laughing to the bank even cost is low will sell high...resale dead meat ...so those bought high at new launch next time want to sell at resale will know the taste compared to those who bought low can play with the price when they sell...

    I would think that it is the quantum in which location that matters to some of them... not psf itself...
