Beside location, location, location. Will primary school become the next "IN" thing to boost property price? I know Ai Tong is one of the reaason that Bishan can command such high premuim.

I am looking around Mt Sinai for my Henry Park Primary.
I would think proximity to good primary schools is also part of "location, location, location"

You sld try hard to make it work...spend more time searching for the right answer here in this forum is the way.
Hi. Thanks for the encouragement and advice. Appreciate that.Originally Posted by gn108
looking at this year P1 registration, Rulang became the top competitive school. It become so popular after last year produced a Top student. I believe this definitely help to boost the surrounding price, especially within 1km. Parents (PR/Citizen)now really willing to pay premium just to be less than 1km from top school
Primary Schools have pretty much always been a reason for people buying where they do......a good reason why shoebox homes are also often located near good schools even though they are not big enough for the family that's supposed to be at the school.
Its not a new "in" thing at all lah. Kiasu parents not from "elite" schools moving within 1km of "elite" schools to give their children something they were deprived of has been around for eons. just look at some of the forum threads 2-5 years ago and some forummers clearly are in situation similar to yowetan - when their purchase requirement centers around only one criteria and nothing else - within 1km of whatever school because the parents have no affiliation. Just go to kiasuparents website and see the extent some parents will do (rent mailbox lah, whole family squeeze into mm lah, rent unit lah) to give their children sth they were deprived of. all their dreams on their kids.
In fact I think the 1km tingy is becoming less attractive, because the "elite" schools even need to ballot within 1km together with the volunteers. So what for? doesn't mean your child will auto become smart just because he goes to whatever school.
its never a new thing. nong time ago hap leow
so select your property purchase based on where all the 2b parents are targeting: http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admi...n/vacancies/:D

Ride at your own risk !!!
last time only a few selected school like Ai Tong, Tao Nan that can be selling point. but now you look at the trend, many schools even neighbourhood school are facing fierce competition. it seems like the "school" thingy is spreading to many parts of the island and not jus confine at selected area.Originally Posted by carbuncle
or die trying
Well good that the PRs are out of the way now at least for phase 2B, finally done SCs some justice...
properties around good schools have always been popular in Singapore, nothing new lah.Originally Posted by ay123

When was this the "new" in thing? Schools are always top of every buyer's mind when deciding on the property and the price to pay.
