As a parent , I can say my teenagers would protest strongly if I "upgrade" into a smaller size place such as this. I have preschoolers to teenage kids and their hobbies and interests range from piano, cello, guitar, netball, volleyball, baseball, reading (lots of books) among others.
It makes a lot of difference to have space at home to cater to their development and growing up. Many items my kids still keep are not junk but souvenirs of their achievements and happy childhood memories which they would not discard. I cannot imagine forcing my kids to let go all these and live in a room where they can only contain basic stuff. it takes joy out of living
Anyway, it seems we have deviated from topic �� Back to Rivertrees, I would be interested to come back and hear what owners have to say after moving in and staying in their units �� But of course, not many people would openly acknowledge that they regret their choice even if they do ��
I see. Then it makes more sense to have a little more space to accommodate their growth at this juncture.
One day though, they might outgrow most of these and many of these might become white elephants?
I think the so-called upgraders maybe in their 50s, a group of them their children might be grown up and space to store might diminish (no more textbooks and little time to read books or switch to digital books)? I see many youngsters just require a chair and laptop space during their waking moments at home, another chair space for meals, and a bed space for sleeping. Many of them are outside occupied with all sorts of activities during most of the time they are awake?

Where there is kelong, there is guni.
No kelong no guni.
More kelong = more guni.
