West
The Mayfair
still walkable to MRT but surrounded by HDBs if you dont mind.
CCK/Bukit Panjang
Yew Tee Residence - next to MRT, mall is well managed
North
The Woodsvale - location not bad but need to check out the condo yourself on the type of crowds.
Oh wow didn't know this.Originally Posted by buttercarp
But then by then the 5-year-old EC would be priced alongside comparable PC.
New buyer still need to fulfill 5-year MOP? Or not?
'Buyers of resale ECs are not eligible for CPF Housing Grant as such ECs are treated as equivalent to “private housing”.'
if you die die want 3bdr, >1000ft, cheap cheap unit, easy to rent out to foreigner, with main purpose of property price hedging (worried of cannot afford later, and worried of $$ getting smaller)...
may be can try buy Huogang Green... 800K for 11xxft 3bdr... go figure out yourself why the price is lower...
HOUGANG GREEN BUANGKOK GREEN Apartment 1 800,000 1,163 Strata 688 Dec-12
HOUGANG GREEN BUANGKOK GREEN Apartment 1 798,000 1,130 Strata 706 Aug-12

(but i will not buy this condo project hor.... )
Mayfair looks pretty good. Why didn't I looked at it when I was buying? But again why its price still amongst the lower despite these good and unique factors? Any guess?Originally Posted by kane
perhaps it has a high concentration of certain expat profile? esp those working in the west.Originally Posted by gilaone
yes, I am considering mayfair and woodvale but not yew tee residences. Its price is steep compared to other condos near by such as regent grove, windermere/yer mei green.

Daft, Dafter, Dafterest!!!!
mayfair was also within my radar when i was considering in the west. but few reasons: petrol station - so 1-2 blocks will be out. also, if you want mayfair, some pple will pay abit more and get parc oasis. nearer mrt and bigger devp (good and bad). personally i quite like mayfair. but sometimes u need to actually view the units to understand why.Originally Posted by gilaone
Palm Garden - this is a view from a current resident so of course more biased.Originally Posted by nick7
Quite nice place for self-stay. not exactly near MRT not but very far. can walk to MRT in < 15min or take LRT for 2 stops.
plenty of amenities around and they are gg to build a supermarket, coffeeshop and fast food infront of the LRT station i.e. besides Palm.
The environment is quiet and very generous landscape. very relaxing to walk around at nite.
Mgmt is very "on". Gd for residents and not so gd for visitors. I've seen many visitors' cars being clamped for not parking appropriately.
the condo is about 12 years but looks fairly well maintained.
Prices are getting steep... nearing the $1m mark for the 3 bedders (1200 sqft).
If you need more info, pls PM me.
Thanks a lot for your view. I will be viewing a unit there in next few weeks.

buy ivory height liow sekali kena en-bloc, how arh ??...
how is palm garden's bowling alley ??... got free time slots or always occupied... must be very shiok to have a 2-lane bowling alley....
bowling alley not really very hot. probably the residents have grown sick of it haha. usually can book quite readily and provide some form of entertainment.. esp if there are guests..Originally Posted by ikan bilis
ok,.... next time may be i consider a 958ft 2bdr there....Originally Posted by fooblack
keat hong mall, near to south view primary, except slightly far (0.8km) from mrt...
Parc Oasis? Also walking distance to Chinese Garden MRT.
very nice condo and nearest to the MRT... but just abit older too.Originally Posted by kt2u
from "value" perspective, quite exx for a 20 yr old condo. but i like parc oasis. dunno why.Originally Posted by fooblack
