What's wrong with being near Geylang, its best place for chicken hunting! Everynight, this place is congested with hardly a parking lot. Vibrancy is the word!Originally Posted by dakoda sucks.
Fair comments. Totally agree. No need to talk down one project against another. Cote D'Azur has positives and Dakota Crescent has positives, just different positives. District 14 is so big, not confined to Geylang only. Yes, Spore is so "big". I have no hang-up over a "HDB address" or "low income" area or "non-prime" as long as I like the project! Buying a house is an emotional thing, so, as long as one likes it, one pays... and some may just like District 14. I like that area because I grew up there.Originally Posted by They are near
Is that so? I never stay in HDB before. Anyway, who stares at postal code?

"Nowadays, the Joo Chiat area is a haven for food lovers and its eateries are famous all over Singapore. This area is also famous for the President of Singapore, His Excellency S.R. Nathan who lives just 5 minutes walk from the hostel; just behind Joo Chiat."
The first one who posted the question is so well informed and knowledgeable.
I bet otherwise.Originally Posted by dakoda sucks.
... one has to have the private property address on NRIC to "validate" one's status and to prove what....? Does it matter? And why should it matter? Mmmm.... Singaporeans are strange.
Exactly......Originally Posted by Never stay HDB
I tend to agreeOriginally Posted by Expatriate1
This is a Joo Chiat sleazy hostel website for God's sake! For course they say good things about the "vibrancy" (hehe) of nearby Joo Chiat and Geylang lah!
No wonder the President moves out. This place no longer conducive. We should look at the place as it is NOW, not its past glory 30 yrs ago.

One word: Potential. Yes, not past glory.Originally Posted by Move out
Dakota is further away from the seedy Geylang and Joo Chiat. But potential wise, not much. At 1000psf in the current market and nearby resale at 40% lower, there's not much upside in the short term. The project TOP in 2011? If you're looking for a home or investment, you have all the time in the world. Property is unlikely to fly through the roof in the next few mths. Don't have to buy TODAY. Or can buy a resale nearby and get immediate rental yield.

Where 40% lower? Serious buyer. Lover of Dakota Residences but no $$$.Originally Posted by Unregistered9990
Nearest: Dunman Heights? Fortune Jade? Both > SGD900psf.Originally Posted by Dan1
Sorry, Dunman View, about $900 psf.Originally Posted by Unregistered01
Telok Kurau resale? $600-$700psf.

Not sure where u draw the imaginary line - D14 issit? So you gotta search yourself. Dunman View 700+psf latest transaction. I'm just trying to say Dakota may not be best value.

hmm seriously this condo would be worth only $600psf less than 2 years ago.. cant imagine why everyone is rushing is jump onto the bandwagon that is obviously going down the slope in the next couple of yearsOriginally Posted by Buyer112
1st quarter rise was 3+% and 2nd was 0.4%.. it's a well known fact that a decline is usually preceded by ZERO growth. the factors causing this plateau will soon force the market into a minor correction. i am quite surprised at this drastic halt to the bullish property market but as consumers, we should be pushing hard for this correction and not fuel this nonsensical peak in property prices by gobbling up whatever the developer throws at us..
i am not talking about a big major correction back to the doldrums of 2004 but at least prices should match that of the population's financial abilities to pay for private residences..
$950-1000psf for a 99 year condo is a bit too high for my liking..
Let's see what the 99-year Silversea will be priced..... my take is that the correction for non-luxury segment will be 5%-10% but some may argue that this project is already down from the earlier expected $1100-1200 announced by the developer a year ago... of course, if compared to 2004/2005, this project will be expensive. Oh, well.. no one knows really.Originally Posted by toaler
Dakota is priced along with the 99-year Water Place and Sanctuary Green, the latter boast seaview and Dakota, city closeness and MRT? At the peak, those 2 projects breached $1300 psf! Shocking.Originally Posted by Dollars&Cents
How old are those Tanjong Rhu projects?Originally Posted by Darius
It is just like speculators driving up oil price. Really worth maybe 70$ but now over 140$. Just like that those projects worth 600$. Once bubble bursts oil will flow and for condos here blood will flow once flippers get knocked down. Simple.Originally Posted by SueEllen
Today's ST Money page, property prices peaked.
