    IMO we Singaporeans, are obsessed with new condos.

    The fact is that a LH99 asking for close to 1K psf versus sub-sale projects
    in East Coast and Amber Rd calling for the same or less is something to ponder and re-think.

    Seriously one must think before commiting unless its for own stay and u only want this location and therefore dont mind paying the premium price but otherwise one will look back and realise the mistake in year 2010-2011.

    D14 resale properties are only fetching 600psf. Is it because everyone crazy over the Geylang river view?

    Amber Road, The Seaview, FH though is calling for $1,250psf unless you are comparing to Cote which is older, 99year but no MRT but have PP and further from CBD. So, it is between Cote or Dakota. I choose the later as that area is over-built with Rose Garden, Silversea yet to launch.

    Just like Balestier versus Novena. How to compare?

    Geylang is D14 Guest

    Balestier is D12 while Novena is prime D11 - they are different. Dakota is D14, exactly the same district as Geylang and facing Geylang river. Why cannot compare? It's a complicated area along the same road as rental HDB. D14 is D14.

    D12 and D11 are separated only by a 2-way road with short-time love hotels and sleazy pubs on both sides.

    I don't see how they are different.

    agree fully. Dakota is better value.... Amber, Seaview, Esta area... too congested...


    Cote is going between 1100 to 1300 psf now.... so Dakota is very attractively priced... considering it is at a less congested place... near dakota MRT...near town... BUT of course... Dakota does not have SEA VIEW

    All have merits... SO IT IS WAT YOU WANT !!!

    Like Hillview and Dunearn... so near... yet price so far apart... Dakota is in a area that govt had indicated it wld be revamped.... so the upside should be there. Wonder how much silversea will be priced?????

    Well, that is why the district zoning is important And it is far fetched to say Dakota is Novena and Geylang is Balestier. Dakota crescent is a low income area, so how to compare to Novena? Or u like the place because u take MRT and like the HDB facilities? If u have such taste, why not settle for HDB there? For a lower price, u get a much bigger unit. It's a HDB address and 99LH anyway. Just food for thought - what is the upside?

    Hillview and Dunearn where got near each other???

    There is a few square kilometres between them!

    The distance from Hillview to Dunearn, I can go from Dunearn to Orchard liao.

    Like that next time I can ask: Dunearn and Orchard so near, how come price so far apart?

    CORRECTION: The distance from Hillview to Dunearn, I can go from Dunearn past Orchard, past Alexandra, into Pasir Panjang liao!

    Or past Orchard, into Rochor, into Kallang liao!

    Dun believe? See the Singapore map lor!

    I dont understand one's concept of congested. Does one mean with all the HDB blocks and rental flats surrounding it is less congested? I mean max our own unit is 2k+ sqft for PH and right here we are talking as if living on landed property

    Not sure whether u have taken a bus from Parkway to Suntec, 10 mins via ECP, comparable to Trains if not faster as don't have to go up and down stations. FH at Amber + 10 min bus ride to town + 10 min drive to IR + 10 min walk to PP + 10 min walk to Big Splash & beach + D15 > DR

    What a lot of bus rides mmmm... does bus = low income and Dakota = low income like one forumer suggest. Of course not lah! No offence to those staying at Cote, a great project with its own pluses.

    Yalor, can agree to disagree. Those who buy Dakota Crescent sees POTENTIAL and not low income area that is the beauty, foresight.

    They are near Guest

    Default

    Hillview to Dunearn is only around 3km. Hillview-Upper Bukit Timah-Dunearn. How can Dunearn to Bukit timah to Orchard to Rocher to Alexandra to Pasir Panjang be 3km? I drive to Rail Mall for dinner some times from 6th Ave and it takes me 5 min via Upper Bukit timah. Everywhere in SG is quite near. The reality is district zoning makes a difference in the pricing. But if you do not mind the district zoning, which is artificial demarkation, then you're right to say Novena is no different from Balestier, but well, unfortunately, some people do care. Interesting part is, nowdays our address no longer reflect the old districts - so it only makes difference in classifieds

    Hope not. The rental flats are part of SG history and should be preserved. We shouldn't tear down everything. The rental flats hv more architectural merits that Dakota, which is the usual boring glass box. The eye sore is Dakota, not the HDB - which should be conserved.

    It may be a matter of time these HDBs make way...afterall, more famous landmarks have already been torn down...

    Based on "My Paper" today, another 60 units sold in the 2nd weekend...total units sold ard 140.

    Think not easy for the developer to sell the remaining units...

    That is true. Cannot put "Dakota Residence" into the IC.

    same as any HDB there!

    40% sold Guest

    Default

    So 40% sold. 3rd weekend will be worse as people run to even newer launches. But from the looks from this forum, people here seem v excited about this development being near HDB amenities - comfort zone for many. So may sell better than others bah.

    Generally, if the last few digits of the postal codes reflects the block number, it is HDB. For pte property, the postal code doesn't reflect the block number.
