The traffic is mainly caused by the DTL construction, BKE is being widen also, in any case traffic is an issue all over the island....not just here lah.....since people buying here also have the option to take MRT ....so what's the problem?Originally Posted by lajia
Anyway, in time to come how many of us can afford car anymore? so Sillyme....be happy, you might just have the last smile.....that should break into a laugh in time to come....btw how big is your 1-bedder?
Hi...the MRT reliability and the level of supportability for the coming population may not be feasible and positive afterall.Originally Posted by dare2

It has high ceiling like Hillier? PSF about 1.4K?Originally Posted by sillyme
I am vested in Hillier, above 20th floor, paid about 1.4Kpsf also.
Now I understand why you are so defensive over this area. Understandable.Originally Posted by dare2
traffic is horrendous everywhere in singapore... the best of bukit timah belt is crazy with jams... once downtown line 2 and hillier is ready, which will be before hillview peak TOP, you will find yourself one stop to beauty world, 2 stops to king albert/blackmore, and a few more stops to few of the finest institutions we can have in Singapore.. hillier last few units touching 1700psf.. yours a good buyOriginally Posted by lajia

Wah you can understand? Good job you are making progress man.....hopefully the MRT would not break down on you tomorrow...Originally Posted by yowetan
Hi...you should look at Hilltop. It is 99 leashold, and looks how it fare against the likes of FH and 999 properties smattering across hill view area. Similarly, it will be the same for the remaining 99 LH properties in the area.Originally Posted by GT23
if you know that area, generally, there are only two main roads towards town direction. You are right, everywhere is terrible, but this area is one of the worst! I'm not trying to talk it down but if you drive and know that area, you know what i mean. besides, direction from bukit batok exit connecting the PIE is also one of the worst exit. drive pass the exit during peak hr (along PIE) and you will understand. As I said, for the last 10 yrs, bro, last 10 yrs........it is still building! And when it is built, how many lanes do you have? check it out.

trust yourself and your opinion.. if you like the place buy it and live in it... we only live once and buying property is far better than buying cars
It is you who concur the place is haunted. So, I will leave the rest of the imagination to others then.Originally Posted by dare2
Hi...this is very true. The road in hillview area is not ideal and the stretch of hillview avenue will be easily congested due to whatever reason.Originally Posted by lajia
Also, hiller and Hillview peak is at lower ground compared to Glendale etc, if the infrastructure is not well done, the place could potentially be another ponding favorites.
So u mean hillview mrt 99 years condo should be price at below 1000 psf....? Lets face it la, mrt condo near city nowadays all priced from 1.2k psf to 1.6k psf......even woodlands condo also 1k psf average.....don't live in the past

.....hahaha....do you know what is a hill? and btw...Glendale is below Hillier unless the ghost can make water reverse uphill.....or worst still the MRT is below Glendale....sure flood one right?Originally Posted by yowetan
Hi...I feel 99LH in a FH/999 fested community is at a serious disadvantage. There are so many choices, and people will not go for the 99LH. Hilltop, hillview regency are examples of failed 99LH developments.Originally Posted by henryhk
Also, hillview area is seriously lack of amenities and infrastructure to support the kind of population within the community and transportation. The MRT network could be there but it is still insufficient; DTL does not serve hillview area alone, but as well as chestnut and pasir panjang like Eco Sanctuary etc.
When there are so many buildings, and light industries along the hillview avenue - it only spells more trouble in years to come. Assuming Lam Soon building is slated for redevelopment, also known to be haunted - can you all imagine how bad will be the situation in term of noise and air pollution, as well as traffic congestion etc.
There a lot more to be consider. The green corridor along the standard chartered, as well as the next-door mindef does not really help Hillview peak. The Mindef will be there, and will always be there due to it's strategic position. Hence, the plot of land this Hillview peak sits will be very similar to the Yishun condo Northwood - just next to army base.
Development that sits very close to military facilities and amenities usually have a very poor capital appreciation for whatever reason(s).
We ought to be neutral and unbiased in our view.

What do yo expect from someone who thinks Glendale is on higher ground than Hillier....and thinks property that appreciated 250K over 2.5 years is not appreciating?Originally Posted by GT23
Hi...I am just stating the facts.Originally Posted by dare2
It is true that price(s) will be scaling high due to inflation and other factors. However, when crash or correction does come - property that is in disadvantage positioning i.e. location, pricing strategy, leasehold (999/FH/99) will be badly impact and affected.
Not to bash 99LH property. For the case of Hillview peak, it will be TOP around 2017-2018. Technically speaking it could be 4 years wait. Now, if we look at this time-line critically, it is also translating to 4+2 where by 2 years was wasted in marketing etc. In short, the remaining lease would be 94 years. Comparing to the likes of hillvista and Glendale (both FH) and the other properties around the area (999/FH), the 99LH will be pale in comparison.
It is very near to hiller where it promises entertainment, food and whichever lifestyle FEO like to speak of; If we again look at Greenwich also a FEO project in Jalan Kayu - I reckon it will not be a very good entertainment experience afterall. Developments with malls and restaurant does not necessarily translating to quality lifestyle.
Hillview area attraction should be it's tranquility, like the Mt Sinai area. If there is ever a day that Holland Village activities breaching into Mt Sinai area, It will be the day I drop my idea of living in Mt Sinai. Fortunately, the Mt Sinai is too expensive for such activities to penetrate thus it is an exclusive place afterall. Unfortunately, it is kinda way beyond my financial affordability though I am preparing to enter with great bold plan ahead.
A place is attractive because it has an intrinsic value and characteristic. If it is artificially made/fabricated, it won't last.
