1) Not located in the midst of public housing estates. Firstly, the noise, the crowd and neighbourhood environment derived from public housing is already a big NO.
2) Located near to town for easy access like D15 is good
3) Avoid big developments - chances of successful en-bloc is much lower than small developments. Squeezing 100+ families on a small plot of land - population density is too high, lack of breathing space. Also, noise and sharing of common facilities with a large crowd are major drawbacks.
4) Pay nothing more than $1000 psf if you dun want to be stucked with your property during downturn
5) Lastly, buy the development in which design and layout suits your liking
Happy shopping
