Situation may only improve after Petir (tentative name) MRT is built, which is abt 150 m diagonally opp, near the Indian temple.
Only good thing was the price was low when I bought it in Sep 2006 (massive discount from the developer)
Other than these, everything said abt the condo is true, looks like flatted factory, face the western sun, too near the road...the typical S'porean will not take to....(I'm one of them!). They remain as minor inconveniences, not big problems.
But compared to living in Woodlands (my former residence), travelling to any parts of Singapore is so much easier and best of all, near my parents and parents-in-law....so I guess one man's poison is another's medicine!
The design of the building, in the long run, will stand to the test of time (timeless design, low maintenance, very few walls to paint wat!)
In short, think long term and things r'nt so bad as many think.
