Arh... Indeed is one of the most value for money condo in Tg Rhu. Happy that you are in a very good position due to your early investment.Originally Posted by puffer_fish
Hope that with MCE opening soon, more vehicles, big trucks and super cars(which unlikely the case) will be diverted away from Benjamin shears bridge.
Ironically, I find the super cars are the ones that make the most noise when they speed up the bridge towards city.

now waiting for the 41000 sq m stadium mall to be launch in 2014
Was at Tg Rhu park connector a while ago. Man, the place is full of Indians. Indians cycling, indians walking their dogs, Indian children playing cricket. etc. I thought I was in India. Seriously, one sure feels like a minority here. My relative who moved out told me it was bad, but I never knew it was that bad. Ironically my relative also sold to an Indian. And even the stadium MRT station is full of Indians. Nothing against any race, but one sure feels like a minority here.
huh? it is well known for that.Originally Posted by Wild Falcon
ok, quite balance, currently the stadium is under construction. many indian workers are staying at the hostel within the site, once the stadium mall complete. they should have left
have to agree indians love the area. that why when i move to the estate near to my kids school. most likely the 2 main group wanting to rent my unit would be indian and caucasians.
same like my mohamed sultan road unit, only can find japanese and caucasians staying there
from a positive angle, you wont lack tenants keen to rent your units
Indians there have very deep pockets..... They can afford to pay ....on the other hand, many angmohs do not have similar budget

My view is the location that is key.Even units facing ECP, it thus provides a good view of the flyer and city skyline, as per view Puffer_fish unit warrant based on the picture he/she posted.Originally Posted by minority
Many tenants will just close the windows and on the aircon. Is really a choice between view and privacy vs highway noise and looking into another.
Just the uniqueness or rather the characteristics of different projects, and this happens to be that of Sanctuary Green.
Now I'm wondering ... How will the east coast reclamation affect this area?
I don't think it will affect at all since the bay garden and supposed commercial use of golf course is definite .. With linkage directly to east coast .. And will probably take many years for the new land to settle down.
What do you guys think?
Do not see how it can be impacted. Only thing is once the MCE is completed and the PCN is going to link to east coast park, there will be more option for residents in Tg Rhu to cycle. Can go towards marina bay area or hit towards east coast parkway.Originally Posted by ichigo55
Yep! Directly linked to both parks without hitting the road. MCE by end of this year, and PCN by 2014. Connectivity will be improved. Also, the golf course is zoned as residential, predominantly, with a little commercial. New GLS sites there are likely to be pretty costly, and hopefully will help to support, or even pull up values in Tanjong Rhu. Just hope it won't become too crowded.Originally Posted by flxcat
Based on my understanding the golf course lease is generally 30yrs, and MBGC opens on Nov2006, those units facing the golf course in Tg Rhu still get to enjoy the unblock view for sometime. Once it is build up, the view will then restrict towards the flyer and city skyline.Originally Posted by electron
Objectively speaking, Costa Rhu is more superior in terms of view than say WaterPlace and Sanctuary Green 20yrs down the road, ha ha ha a long time from now, so all Tg Rhu owners enjoy and have fun in the meanwhile.
Also to note that for east side condos... as long as you have city view, you are facing west sun ... Costa Rhu 's city facing units are all subjected to west sun.
I personally prefer Pebble Bay with bay view.
Western sun will be minimal or at an angle for costs rhu units that is facing the marina east garden. Generally no block and probably can go for nice afternoon coffee at the new PA water leisure center as it looks chic.Originally Posted by zeamybro
Agreed if facing Conrad will have direct afternoon sun.
PB, especially units facing the basin is a gem.
Parkshore is the only FH, in fact is another gem in its own way, but not much view.
Why so far the discussion only centre SG,PB,CR and WP. Why no one talk about Camelot-by-the-water? Super jumbo units like 3000+sf and bigger transact at 1500+psf?
Talking about Camelot, how come next door Tanjong Ria and Casuarina Cove going for much lower psf than Camelot? Anyone know why? They are more or less same years old.
I also duno the why the price difference.... but Camelot is at least 4-5yrs younger than TR and CC .. which is significant for a 99yr LH. Never been inside, but from outside it also looks much newer and nicer than TR ....Originally Posted by lkm

2013-01-21 PEBBLE BAY 130 Tanjong Rhu Road #XX-XX 2,900,000 1,531
Pebble Bay is still fetching v high prices despite being more than 15yr old

Ya, but lkm was asking why the huge price difference between Camelot and Tanjong Ria + Casuarina Cove....Originally Posted by minority
I notice bay facing projects like Camelot and Pebble Bay are fetching the highest psf ... despite having very large units. Sea/City/ECP facing projects are not doing as well...

for the perfect sea view? my take Reflection offer one of the best sea view from the high floors.
More exciting days ahead at the Tanjong Rhu Enclave =)
With the ERL MRT to be announced. The value of the place is pose to go up.

While it great to know the place is adding more facilities but hope the serenity of the place would still be intact
Yes, I agree meyer ones are more atas for sure, but rental is a lot more stronger at the tanjong rhu side due to the proximity to Kallang Leisure Mall, Stadium Mrt and the Bay front + Gardens By the Bay (East).
Did some research earlier to compare the prices between the condos at that area. I see that Pebble Bay (despite being 99LH and more than 15yrs gone), is still holding strongly to the price. The Makena (FH of around the same age), is transacting at around the same psf, if not lower.
I learn from agents several tenants after staying in Meyer are looking for units at Tj Rhu for their next lease. But for my own stay, i would prefer Meyer =)
I think the serenity of the place has been disturbed quite a fair bit in the recent years. I am seeing many families from elsewhere driving to the enclave, park their cars by the roadside for picnics on the grass patches by the bay. The place becomes extremely packed during new year eve or national day, with people flocking to the GBTB (east) to enjoy the fireworks. Sometimes, the TP would set up road blocks, allowing only cars with resident passes to drive into the enclave.
I personally don't look forward to the building of a MRT station there. Rental is going to suffer for many years during the construction.
