yes i been there many times.. I personally dont find that area a good investment choice given so many MMs, conjestion at night and at this current psf. Unless you bot it at a relatively low price previously with potentially good rental yield.

Where there are amenities and eateries, there is bound to be some traffic snarl anywhere. This will be the pros and cons of life. Nathan road is much further away from this jam. I find this area very prime and exclusive.
I totally agreed. Personally I find rv area lots of potential. The community here mainly expats with majority jap. We r 2 min away from orchard district and 2 min to tiong bahru. There is combination of pre war shophouses, nice eatery, good shopping, the biggest varieties of fresh produce in cold storage in GW and cinema, Singapore river leading to fine dining etc.Originally Posted by blessy888
Nathan is a good investment but looking at the year it was launched it is still not built up. Personally I prefer Kim Seng and Zion being just a stone throw away to amenties but shanghai and Nathan are just fine.
I assume u bgt Nathan during second phase launch around 1200psf
You said Novena is unglamorouse and sicky, but Nathan is glamorouse meh?? Your oppinion is viased to this area without balanced proofs.Originally Posted by jezz
well, i have been staying in novena for almost 6 yrs. i'm happy at RV currently at least it serves what i needed most - short drive to cbd where i work.Originally Posted by trump7
in my last apt where i stayed in novena, there are few MM units which the owner tenanted to rich indonesians seeking for medical treatment in sin. they changed tenants every 6-9 months. being an old-fashioned chinese which i confessed, i believed in good fengshui - at least staying away from the medical hub
yeah, there's no provened rv is good district but at least i am pleased with the well balanced mix of expats and locals.
in novena, you tend to see more rich locals parents tending to their kids in the malls as most good pri schools are around in that region

anyone seen attitude? wanna look at the interior, any one photos to share?
The problem you quoted is not the problem with Novena, but the problem is with MM units renting out at cheap absolute rental!
Novena is a big area, not all properties right beside the hospitals, and not all properties you see these sick people staying to seek treatment. That is why for own stay, always opt for those condo with NO UNIT <700 sqft! This will eliminate all those problems you mentioned.

The name "Nathan Road" so
"Shanghai Road" really wonder who name that?

Personally Nathan and Shanghai too many MM, still have some old shophouses nearby, probably need a revamp..., location though central but don't have that upmarket feel. As for Jervois, ya quite near or just next to Alexander.
Would rather prefer Kim Yam road side of river valley...
Somewhere around SJI u mean? I was at pavilion tho.Originally Posted by melodies
