The Stellar

[Cactus72]

I'm keen to look at a ground floor unit with private pool in the PES - however I don't think there is anyone selling...even if there is, would anyone here be able to give an indication of the price? Saw the ads, some are hitting past 900psf though ground units are far and few in between...

Be warned of ground floor unit...see link below:

Why do you need a hole in the ground that you called a privte pool? you don't have a bathtub? Have you seen one of them at the Stellar. It's practically the same size as a bathtub. Besides, what if someone throw something poisonous into your "pool" from an upper floor?

thanks for your 'well wishes' guys - i guess. This being a low storeyed unit I don't think we'll get much of the HDB mentality there.

The private pool is definitely bigger than a bathtub and i was thinking to use it for my dogs. Also it opens to a much larger pool - doesn't get any better than that. I wish there were other developments like this because Stellar's location isn't exactly ideal and the price is through the roof...

yes, only dogs will find the "private pool" appealing. Humans definitely will not.

it takes another dog like stalingrad to understand dog's needs

i dont think you are allowed to use it for your dog ..

as the water are channelled and cleaned in the same system as the main pool ...

if the management is aware of any owner doing that .. i am sure they will put a stop to it ..

I am sure you are right. But don't you find it funny that this potential owner finds those private "pools' useful only as a bathtub for his chiwawas? Let's get realistic rather than emotional about this, the "pool" is so small, about 50 to 60 square feet in area, that it is a burden on the owner rather than a pleasure. what can you do with it? you can't swim in it. One kick of your legs will smash you head on the wall on the other side. can you take a bath in it? I am sure you wouldn't want to bath with chlorinated water. wash your dog? the management will be against it. so what do you do with it?

Your English is atrocious, you can't spell Chihuahau, don't know how to use the word bath and bathe, as in "I am sure you wouldn't want to bath(e) with chlorinated water".

The owner of the groundfloor unit at my development uses his private pool as a perfect chill out spot, sitting in it with his girl in arm with a can of chilled beer, either reading or enjoying the setting sun.

hhhmmm dont mean to make enemies ... xebay11

he might have spelt chihuahua wrongly ... but he is not wrong to use BATH instead of BATHE ...

in old english .. it is not wrong to say ' to bath' , just that it is more common tosay ' to bathe' ....

Yes agree, he is not wrong if he were living in 1610.

In that case Sir William Stanlingrad should have written "I am sure thou wouldst not want to bath in chlorinated water". LOL

Xebay how much would a ground floor unit with private pool cost roughly? Would you know?

[proud owner]

varsity park 99 yr already traded 790 psf for a 2200-ish psf ... meaning smaller unit say 1400 ish would be 830 psf roughly

stellar being FH ..( some will argue VP better than stellar) should be close to 900 psf ...

considering distance to city .. stellar is much nearer and more accessible than 100 Trees, carabelle, botannia .. Parc ... and those already seen 1000 psf

[Regulators]

there is a budget hotel owned by fragrance just opp stellar so not sure if those streetwalkers will start prowling around there. Also not many amenities around apart frm nasi lemak catered mre to NUS stdnts

It doesn't help that a huge flyover is being built at the junction of clementi road and west coast highway. I see a lot of building materials being piled up at the location and lots of heavy machinery brought in. noise is already horible and will get worse, not to mention pollution from increased traffic flow at that junction.

I am kind of sorry for the residents. one thing after another.

oh wow ...

you think Spectrum ..will be worse hit ?

[xebay11]

Spectrum will be worst hit, Stellar is still quite some distance, if Stellar is considered near the new flyover, that would mean the Carabelle is also considered near the AYE.

i gathered from earlier posts .. the flyover will cut over and across west coast highway .. and land on clementi road ..

any idea where it will land ?

There is also a map of the flyover at the junction of West Coast Highway and Clementi Road.

from the map .. the flyover will be ALONG westcoast highway ..and not onto clementi road .. so Stellar is safe .. Spectrum will be bad ... so will Westmont ...

so surprised that you knew where westmont is. We almost bought one unit there. lucky we didn't. we almost signed on the dotted line. phew!!!!!

at that time, we would've paid 690 psf. wondered how much the owners can fetch now. I wouldn't buy it now, knowing the noise and pollution associated with the flyover and highway, even for $400 psf.

[kumkeet]

Should be good for residents in that area. Eases the traffic at that junction. Also, the pedestrian overhead bridge would mean can safely walk across to West Coast Park. Good mah.

[etbj]

This junction is a high accident prone area.

I ever saw a container truck over turned while trying to negotiate a right turn from the harhour towards Har Paw Villa direction.

The over turned truck slided and collided with a stationary car at the far side while waiting for his turn to move off.

With this construction of flyover should ease the traffic... hopefully.

Don't ever drive near to those container trucks.....

[Regulators]

"99 bends" nearby is even worse. I always try to avoid that road coz you never know when an oncoming car will crash headlong into yours.

ahhah i used to have a unit at Stellar .. and saw Westmont in its construction phase ..

anyway the fly over will have its pros and cons ...

i sold my unit to a NUS lecturer .. and he sometimes needs to rush to town to give speeches etc .. and he felt the westcoast highway was perfect for him .. than where he used to live ( Hillview) ...

but the unit in stellar that i had before ..was inner side .. was pretty quiet i must say ... cant comment on dust level though .. cos i didnt even live there .. just spent a couple of nights there .. barbequing .. and then sold it ...

i like driving along the 99 bends .. from NUH down to duck rice stretch ..

yes there are many inconsiderate drivings there .. and at night ..alot of speedster testing their skills .. but i havent encountered many ..

[jonleelk]

99 bends? I thought the official name is "9 turns 13 bends"?

[proud owner]

its actually 9+19 ... speak in cantonese becomes 99 ..
9 bends + 19 turns

I think the flyover signals several things that are far more negative than the flyover itself:

(1) the port in not moving anytime soon, contrary to speculations here and elsewhere.

(2) The port is actually expanding, with more and more berths to be added.

(3) Traffic along west coast highway is on the way up, and the noise...

(4) traffic along clementi road is on the way up too, and the noise and pollution along with it.

Too true, sounds like a good time for you to move East my friend
