at 580sqft for a 2 bedder, it feels like it's more of a 1+S rather.

even if it's 2 single beds, there still needs to be space for walkway, doorway, cupboard. unless its a 1BR and developer converts the storeroom into a makeshift bedroom........Originally Posted by mcmlxxvi

Most probably it is.Originally Posted by kane
2 bedrooms, with 1 toilet in-between and an open kitchen. Similar size and design to most of the recent far east soho apartments seen in eco, hillsta, hillier, and watertown.
Soho 1 bedder and 2 bedders are liveable.
Yee ha! Did I tickle your funny bone?
wat's the big hoo ha of a 580sqft 2 bedder? if hdb can built 36sqm 2 room flat, wat's so surprising of a pte developer to built a 54sqm 2 bedder?
Bro, you never buy hdb before right ? 2room flat equals 1bedder condoOriginally Posted by mermaid

Ride or Die
nope, I am merely extrapolatingOriginally Posted by Autumnwinds
hdb 2 rm flat 36sqm. add 1 more common room nids oni abt 12sqm. 1 more common toilet 5sqm, total = 36+12+5 = 53sqm = 570sqft, easily doable.
so now can tell me wats the big hoo ha of a 580sqft 2 bedder le mah?
Many People do not realize that Space is the most valuable thing in Singapore. If I have to choose between 120sqm HDB and 53sqm Condo with the same price then I will choose the HDB. I am quite lucky that I can leave in 115sqm Condo in Singapore even the condo is already more than 10 years old.Originally Posted by mermaid
how abt if u r given a choice to buy either a 2rm hdb at $100k vs a $600k 1 bedder condo? assume same size same loc.Originally Posted by Sandiwara
Maybe condo is more towards luxurious living and HDB is more for public housing. So luxurious means big nice house.
I definitely need space and although I stay in a studio, my studio is close to 700 sq ft. And it is without balcony . So 2 bedder at 580 sq ft is crap IMO. Too small and uncomfortable to be considered as a "condo". Maybe nowadays, people have low expectation of space.

If I can afford to spend 600k, I will not buy 2rm HDB, but I will buy at least 4rm HDB.Originally Posted by mermaid
there is no such option in my qn!Originally Posted by Sandiwara

if is me I wun consider 2 rm bto at all. not rentable n hard to sell in the future. in the total 8 yrs of lock in period, I can flip 2 condos liaoOriginally Posted by Sandiwara
It is okay la. I don't intend to sell anyway. And I bought it during March 2009 so I can sell, I can rent or I can keep . Doesn't matter.

depends on a person's budget, needs/wants, lifestyle preferences, etcOriginally Posted by mermaid
oh, I feel otherwise. if the sqft is smaller, they r promoting efficient layout, no?Originally Posted by eng81157
hdb 2r can never be the same good location under kbw
after I analyze cpf min sum, I realize why hdb resale 3r must be above 300k
half of that is 148k lol so retirees at 55 can pawn their hdbs to meet min sum
once min sum hits 300k resale hdb must rise even higher
Ride at your own risk !!!
what i'm saying is even though the PC has a larger sqft area on paper, the actual livable space could be even smaller than a HDB 2Rm flat, after minusing the AC ledge and balcony.Originally Posted by mermaid
i think cannot be so cheap for small unitsOriginally Posted by phantom_opera
really depends on the layout lah ... I hv seem smaller units having more livable space den bigger unitsOriginally Posted by eng81157
thanks for echoing my sentiments - wait for the floorplans and we discuss furtherOriginally Posted by mermaid
