I have a friend staying in AQBP. He mentioned that the units facing reservoir are noisy due to main road in front.

I visited one uint AQBP, view is nice, but the bus stop noise is really killing. so end up we chose The Tropica!
Only thing is - there are too limited units are selling in Tropica!

nice view, stunning. Sure will fetch good price. If 3 bedders are selling at 900k+, 4 bedders will soon hit 1m!!Originally Posted by SRM
there's more buyer resistance for 4brs as some families may not need 4brs and maintenance is higher.
but this situation is perfect for you since you own a 3br. so snag a 4br at blk 57 then sell ur 3br.
i oso on the lookout for 4brs in block 57.. kekeke..

No lah, 3 brs are just right for our small family.... for now.
haha, no la, i'm on the lookout for other places also, ultimately depends on where a good buy pops up.

Just out of curiosity, how much is the monthly mgt fee for 4 brs in Tropica?
4brs should be 4shares, if each share is $95, then should be around $380.
sister eastlover pls confirm.

Hi,
Anybody went to have a look at the Minton.. Selling for 912psf for high floor.. cheap?
That unit is the crown jewel of Tropica

Considering between buying new and old.. hehehe
Minton is 1100 units for 500k sqft = 454sqft ppr per unit.
Tropica is 537 units for 375604sqft = 699sqft ppr per unit.
but go with your feel, not w the stats.

BTW, we pay $898.8 every 3 mth - nice figure, isn't it?
That means every mth is $299.6 only hehehe
お帰り。日本は楽しかったか?

am I daydreaming here? Will someone consider bringing that up at next AGM?
Really worth it.. indeed. Maybe I should consider swapping to 4 bedders some day when there is new addition to the family?Originally Posted by East Lover
just get one more unit! no nid to swapOriginally Posted by okko
