    There are quite a lot of foreigners in west coast now. I believe more are gravitating over. Once the new condos near the west coast park are completed, we should see even more of them. Good because they will help to support rental and prices, bad because they will also push up prices of food and everyday stuffs across the board over there.

    West Coast has always been the low profile diam diam and laid back compared to its very loud and hao lian East Coast counterparts. Haha. PSF run so high liao, yet still humble and down-to-earth...

    agree ...Eastern more buzzy. Westie home more spread out.
    Have you noticed that Westies (Clementi) are slimmer than their Easties (Siglap/Katong) brothers in general?

    Not sure about weight though. But westies definitely try less hard to look "yuppie". Cool in their own way. But prices in the west has definitely caught up or even exceeded east coast discreetly. While D15 needs a lot of MMs to push up PSF, west coast doesn't need that artificial push. Only drawback is no MRT buzz like the east coast.

    I think eventually they will need to build some sort of circle line to support Jurong East Mrt. I am pretty sure that station is going to be overloaded when JLD is up and running.

    Really? D15 has big units costing more than $2Kpsf easily (Aalto, Meyer rise, silversea, etc). West coast have?

    It is okay to keep it that way. I don't wish to see any particular race dominates the area. D5 should be multinational.

    Meyer area is more like Keppel Bay area like Reflections (D3?). West Coast is further west at Clementi side liao leh.

    I think Reflections prolly don't have as many Indians though. Meyer is like Little India.

    For own stay, e rising psf of ur hse doesn't matter. Feeling good abt ur living environment is more impt.

    To be fair and comparable...I reckon D4 (Reflections/Foresta/Harbourside/Skyline) is location comparable to Amber/Meyer in D15.

    Then D5 Island View/Flynn/Frangrance/Pepys Hill location comparable to maybe Katong/Telok Kurau/Ocean Park. Further up Pasir Panjang/Varsity Park/Blue Horizon maybe compare to Siglap/Upper East Coast Rd.

    Agree. But some pax just go for the address and then adapt themselves to the environment.

    No idea...west coast is getting crowded.

    Jurong is quietly expanding its data centers:

    http://sgentrepreneurs.com/2011/09/2...-in-singapore/

    http://www.datacenterdynamics.com/fo...ng-data-center

    There should be more hiring of mid-level executives and professionals over the next few years for this IT industry at this location. The growth potential for 2/3 bedroom condo tenants is there, but future supply of such condos is severely limited.

    Also adding a link here: http://www.datacenterdynamics.com/bl...-speeds&u=4897

    I think something is brewing for data center in Singapore, and Jurong is poised to be the growth center. Go for condos ard JLD if you are an investor in property. It is one of the only few bright spots of residential properties in Singapore.

    There will be more Indian nationals there. They may be renting HDB as their wives are usually homemakers to look after the children.

    I haven't been exploring that area in recent months due to work. My best guess is they should be slightly further out from Safra where there are empty plots.

    As long as they integrate with the locals I'm fine. Some expatriates also prefer condos.

    I honestly think MCL will not be in the hurry to launch this project and I reckon the best time to launch will probably be after completion of JEM in Q2 next year.
