    my point was that car is an expense, same as restaurant meals, drinking at pubs, holidays etc.
    A basic M5 is still a M5. haha

    In a rather quiet location (still need a car or two) but 8 mins walk to future Tanjong Katong MRT. Its just a stone throw away from my current place and I kinda like the area. Im sorry to OT from car thread but we need to tie back to properties somehow right?

    Gurus, please speak.
    I love that location, but 7 crescent is cluster houses, not really a "bungalow". I would rather go for a individual titled house in the same neighbourhood. A 3400 sft (land) semi-dee is "ONLY" 5M (jalan seaview). BTW this is just talking for fun, there is no way I can afford either.

    There are lots of fans of cluster housing. Personally, I would go for all or nothing. All meaning full facilities condo. Nothing as in detached house without shared facilities.

    lived along Jalan Seaview for a large part of my life
    amazing area, now made even better and more accessible with Tanjong Katong MRT at the doorstep (but have to wait 5 more years la)
    I think an old semi-d in the area will set u back $5m.. while some of the newly renovated ones will be up to $6m+.. still, probably a better investment than 7 crescent which much of the exclusiveness is tainted by the fact that its cluster housing

    if u have even more $$$ to spare, u can even try peach garden (nice bungalows in there), or the goodman/ branksome area... or even the less talked about Walton/Clacton road houses which are v v atas

    Love the houses in those areas. Nice, big and atas! But I am a very practical person. The property has to be a home (and double up as good investment) and not just a house.

    Coming back to my original point – I would prioritise spending on a private property FIRST before spending on a nice continental car.

    I know many think otherwise but that is just my personal thought.

    Looks like we are neighbours. The recent revamps of the D and semi-Ds in the last 10 years has been tremendous.

    I have friends living along Peach Garden and I know what you mean about large, spacious and quiet bungalows. The price also very nice.

    Whenever I ride my bicycle to CCHS in Goodman Road when I was a teenager, I never thought much about the houses there. Eyed one at Arthur Road some years ago but finances did not check out. Now it is 9-10mil per pop.

    Again, let me dream about the en-bloc first....keep day dreaming.

    Thanks for the comments. I also agree that holding back on an expensive car is one of the best decision I made today like what frumnat mentioned. But I do get the look-downs amongst my peers. Suck thumb.
