I happened to see a brochure on this project while browsing through my daily morning papers.
I am tempted to buy. I will borrow from friends/relatives/company(bank).
Any view(s) on this project.

Very nice 2 page pullout in colour....
Yes. The layout and space(s) are impressive.Originally Posted by land118
buy a FH condo instead of this project.Originally Posted by yowetan
Finally they advertised.
Was not aware of this project until recently.
Is the new phase facing the park?
This Brookes collection does not have a full roof terrace but an attic which is practical and I like it alot. The bulit up is very well utilised.
There is no household shelter.
Should cost about slightly more than 2.4 mil
Have not been down there yet.
But looks impressive.
What are the reason(s) then?Originally Posted by hopeful
What are the issue(s) or foreseen problem(s) for this project?
I will dispose my HDB and go all out for this if possible.Originally Posted by buttercarp
I don't think there is any issue with this project.Originally Posted by yowetan
It is a lovely project (from the advert) and situated in a place of greenery.
It is ideal for those who are confident and comfortable in financing it.
If u have young children, do note that there are no primary schools within 2km from this location.
But if u like peace and quiet then this is the place for u.
I have 2 infant kids. However, singapore is small that Yishun/AMK primary schools are abundant.Originally Posted by azeoprop
This place is really serene and peaceful. I may plunge my whole fortune in it and take a 90% with my bank.
Any problem with flooding in that area?Originally Posted by buttercarp
I remember an agent showing me a house near there years ago...and flooding was a problem in some of the nearby roads cos of topography, and if you are near bottom of slope or not.
Dun buy, u will regret

Not too sure about now, but the whole springside estate is in a low "valley" area between upper seletar and lower seletar reservoir.Originally Posted by Astronotus oscellatus
well, it being landed, I cannot buy it.Originally Posted by yowetan
When economy downturns, there will be many vultures circling around looking for firesales. You are a known weakhand (if what you declared in the forum is true, in reality, you may very well be a billionaire, laughing at us poor fools trying to get rich via real estate).
If you buy FH condo, I can buy it from you at 30% off. If you buy landed, even if you offer to sell me at 50%, I also cannot buy.
Furthermore, there is bigger pool of buyers for condo.
If the best price Singaporean offer to you is 50%, you have to accept.
If the best price foreigner offer to you is 30%, you can accept.
Generally, foreigners are richer and more willing to buy during downturn, so easier for you to sell when you firesale, you can get higher price.
As for project itself, the length is not proportional to the width. I am staying in shophouse and it is a hassle if width not wide. get something more squarish.
so please plunge your whole fortune and your friends/relatives/parents fortune into a FH condo now. Can start by sell your HDB, sell your parents property (the one that generate 2000 rental income)
Thanks for the input. Good insight from your perspective.Originally Posted by hopeful
Ulu place. Anyone who lives here must be able to afford one car for each family member.
I wonder how much was paid to develop the flash website. I hate it.
Which FH condo will be a good one these days then?
Given the financial situation you wrote (and from what I recall, your household income is not high), I don't think you should buy private property.Originally Posted by yowetan
buy river valley resale condos, because that is the area I am playing. Not too high class, not too low class, just rightOriginally Posted by yowetan
Why resale condo in RV?
bigger area - no wasted space - just nice for your family
lower psf - lower quantum - just nice for your budget
Yowetan is the typical product of sg education, wait to be spoon fed
He always started by lamenting his 10k income, boasting about renting out his parents or parents in law hdb, dreaming to stay freehold big big house, continue asking for advice after forumers told him countless time that he can't afford freehold big condo or big house near bukit timah

Chiaberry in other thread did commented that in days ahead the price can only goes up in view of inflation.Originally Posted by evergreen
This is to say a dollar today may not get the same thing tomorrow.
I am taking a bold step to beat the inflation.
Yowetan, dont listen to the naysayers.Originally Posted by evergreen
1) You want to follow the rich on how to be rich?
or 2) you want to follow people like yourself who currently CMI?
Albert Einstein definition of insanity:
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
You expect to get rich by continuing the same way of doing things you have been doing for 15 years? You are insane indeed.

River Valley seems cluttered with old folks and sleaky businesses. It is in a good location but too urban; I prefer greenary and serene environment.Originally Posted by hopeful
Nonetheless, I will scout around River Valley again to see if there is any opportunity there.
Sound very scary from your last statement. You have to take 90% loan even when you plunge your whole fortune into a $2.4mil house?Originally Posted by yowetan
You got only $240k ??
Your contribution is insignificant and unconstructive.Originally Posted by phantom_opera
If you cannot see eye-to-eye with me, you can simply ignore me like I did.
Thanks for your kind consideration.
I am intending to leveraging from my bank's staff loan scheme.Originally Posted by focus
I am looking at loaning 35-40 years if possible. My wife is 30 years old.
Originally Posted by Astronotus oscellatusDid not know about that.Originally Posted by azeoprop
Does that explain why the price is lower than Luxus Hills and Pavilion Park?
Or is it because it is in a relatively ulu area compared to the other 2 projects?
Got a friend who lives in Springleaf which is quite near springside.
He has been living there for 10 years with no issues of flooding.
Then I have to agree with hopeful. Rather you go looked at FH condo below $2mil and rent it out. You can beat inflation too with an investment condo instead of a landed for you to stay.Originally Posted by yowetan
This is why I thanked hopeful for his/her insight.Originally Posted by focus
I am still sourcing for a place for my growing members, consolidating all family members under a roof, maximising and controlling the expenditure flow.
