Tree House (D23, 99 years leasehold, CDL)

[danntbt]

Also to the Tree House residents who have moved in, how about traffic noise from BKE? Esp those in blk 62 n 68. care to comment?

Mosquitoes not big problem, fogging is done regularly, water bodies have fish in them.....as for noise low units average 40-50 decibels minus eco's noise...... Higher units above 60, but mostly below 70 but with activities at Eco, ave 65-70, but hit 80 plus when piling activities were on-going, this is now almost done. Foresque would face similar situation when the vacant land starts construction when sold.....but can call NEA to complain if they go beyond restricted hours, they will send officers over to check and issue summon or warning letter to the culprits.

sounds like the traffic noise is more than noticeable... hopefully less so for the units facing away from the BKE

as my unit is looking into Tree House's pool, likely i wont have any issues with the future condo's construction to the south of Foresque...can;t say the same for those in Blk 101 103 n 105...

Keep those lovely photos coming

At TH the glass panels on the windows and sliding doors are thick and bock off the sound very effectively, I would expect FR to have similar or even better glass. Noise tapers down at night, so still possible to sleep with windows open I guess, just that it starts again early in the morning....but the wind here is cool and can gets very breezy, perhaps its this part of the year, so far with windows open, hardly need aircon and even fan especially at night....also as mentioned...mosquitoes population seemed under control....so when FR is completed, if both development has coordiantion on fogging, there will be even better effective control.

Dear owners of Tree House,

Congratulations on the TOP.

I have consolidated a number of Interior Designers and Home Improvement businesses to provide better deals for us home owners. It is also possible to organize a group buy with them to strike a even better deal.

If you are keen, feel free to drop me a pm.

Cheers,
Cjdre

Hello again, Nighttrain. Sorry we ended up chatting at our neighbour's forum (ES). I seriously doubt you would want to open the bedroom windows to sleep as BKE can be fairly noisy especially those annoying motorbikes with noisy exhaust. But if you're on the higher floors, it's still ok to close window and on the ceiling fans as it can be fairly cooling at night. Perhaps you can install roller blinds instead of curtains as they may be more effective in blocking the noises. Just a suggestion.

Hi Photogguy, you're right. Maybe not! How about bamboo curtains then?

Hi Esso99, 3 bedder's maintenance is around $380 inclusive of GST. 4 bedder is around $500 all in. But this does not include sinking funds that would be set up usually after the management committee is formed. Cheers.

The place is nice but.... Has a transport problem, the residence didn't raise up the problems.

......as far as I know, when I meet up with my buddy there for a drink at the pool, there are lights in most units, think the figure for units available are inflated due to multiple listing.....transport is not an issue as TH has shuttle service to CCK Mrt....and are served by service 966 and 700 which take you to Toa Payoh and Orchard respectively within 30 mins unless during peak hours....peak hour traffic affect practically every corner of Spore not just in this area....when DTL is ready possibly the Shuttle will ply there which will increase the frequency and there should be new public bus services to serve residence here to connect to the new MRT station.....it not a matter of resident not raising an issue...everything boils down to economy of scale...when teh area developed it will be more viable for more bus services to ply the route.

Additionally Bt Panjang Plaza is undergoing extension and the new integrated development will add on to the shopping options when completed within close proximity of a couple of bus stop.

Singapore is just a small country, no matter where you are it won'y take you more than an hour to get to most places....which explain why psf has gone up faster outside the central region.

[dare2]

...you better book your plot at LCK before the psf goes up and you miss the boat again.

[wt_know]

is this a joke? have you seen the $psf for condo unit at town area like tiong bahru, alexandra road, river valley, etc?

You still living in the world of yourself..home price has already dropped to 2006 price level..wkakakaka!!

.......haha Christmas was here and gone, stop dreaming of a white Chritmas on this tropical island.....the closest is probably the dandruff flakes dropping off your head hahaha....2006 prices hahaha if really true what are you waiting for rather than sounding like you had a sour bunch of grapes for dinner.

[xox]

Price had already dropped, is dropping as we speak and will continue dropping. In fact, there are many owners/investors willing to just sell their units desperately before their losses get even worse.

[danion]

Property investment is a long term one, i think, and to dispose of our property just cos of the recent cooling measures and worrying about not being able to sell in the next few years, will be completely regrettable. In an island that has limited land space, and land sale prices are definitely getting higher each year with a higher population, properties launched by developers will likely to become pricer.

I assume "long term" in your response refers to within our lifetime. If so, there's only one direction the prices are going - down south. Prices are getting lower, not higher and let's not forget developer is adding all kinds of special "goodies" to entice people to buy.

The land may be limited, and so is the population. Singapore's population is shrinking. More Singapore families having less children and the young ones are migrating. Less FTs too thanks to the government's stricter and stricter rules to appease its citizens.

And there is no new foreseeable engine of growth. Electronics going away. Biotechnology is a failure. Pretty epic one too with "free" education down the drain - apparently PhD prefer to walk naked on the streets. The casinos ain't bringing in enough dough.

Alright, enough said. Let us not kid ourselves with castles in the air.
