The Raintree (D21, 99 years leasehold, Frasers Centrepoint)

[mkmm]

I am in the market for a unit, and Raintree is one of them. However, temperature is very important for me (low i.e.). Would the units in the Raintree be cool because of the proximity to the forest? Or is it just humid? My alternative is on the other side, eg Hillside.

Thanks!

Yap, nite time is pretty cool...I off A/c after 12am everyday. As for humidity, 80-90% most of the time but you get an electric de-humidifier to maintain low humid.

I am staying in Raintree. You can be sure that it is really cool especially at night. Check up the design of the layout in the latest Cube magazine.

Hi Coco,

May I ask if surrounded by mother nature does it necessarily means more mozzies or other funny bugs buzzing around in the house?

[beverly]

looking for a unit in this area too: I'm a bit concerned about the traffic situation. Which direction and sub-area is better i.e. springdale/raintree side, opp hillside, along the Hume Avenue i.e. parc palais, or further down glendale park area? Any views to share esp from current owners?

I am wondering if the plot of vacant land along mainroad/at entrance of hindhede ( before rain tree, and next to south haven) is up for residential ?
That will be ideal, compared to RT (foot of BT hill)

Hardly got bitten by mozzies. I always leave my sliding door wide open.

That piece of land also too big for mrt station. I also hope it is released for sale soon. Good location.

But pray pray FEO don't buy the land...hope either centrepoint or CDL.

Yes, too big a plot of land for MRT and a waste too I think
Anyway to check if the land parcel is up for sale for residential ?
Ya, if FEO buy the land, expect sky high pricing again.

yep, agree with u guys that that piece of land would be more MRT walk-friendly. believe Springdale and RT would be 20 min walk to Beauty World MRT, while SouthHaven 15min or so. The car traffic situation is a real concern though ... notwithstanding overall nature enviroment

Agent at springdale told me 10 min walk to beautyworld MRT .. I have not tried walking to confirm. Southhaven 2 will be nearer ..

More likely 15-20 minutes. Have to cross an overhead bridge. Most of it is not sheltered.

Location of MRT is already well known (in front of temple, construction already started), so why don't you try to walk yourself.

Once in the morning, once at noon, and once at night. It will give a better assessment of the distance and time.

I think it looks like a 15 min walk to me .. similar to walking from The Beverly to the beauty world mrt.

will 15 mins walk be acceptable ?

if it is .. between beverly and SD .. which is more convenient ..?

was talking to an ang moh colleague ,,, he was surprised that we said its far to walk from Scotts to great world city ...

he walk from holland village to botanic gardens ...

i guess we are just used to our spore kind of walkable distance , while expats in their home country walk alot more, alot further

Construction already started? I drove past quite frequently, but don't see any specific mentioning of mrt. Plus the line will only start 2015...so fast construction begins?

This evening will pay a closer look.

Yes, started already .. saw it last saturday.

no offend, walk 10 - 15 mins to mrt is tiring? about 600-800m only!!!

[Kon2]

There is a big patch of vacant land in between Upp Bt Timah Rd and Jln Seh Chuan, in fact over or next to the Beauty World underground MRT station. Any ideas what this plot will be developed into? Thanks!

what a disgrace, just being in this forum...reading junks like these in every thread.

You people are typical of people that live at the Raintree. Not all but the majority. Racists scum who should go back to their HDB slums.

Don't buy in this condo. It's full of the most inconsiderate people I've ever met. Don't rely on me, go and have a talk with the security guards who are constantly faced with them every day. It's a nice condo but inhabited by a group of people who ruin it.

[richardtanhj]

Hey folks!
I am really keen on the RT. I am just wondering what will be a good price to go in? I think recent listing is between 760psf to 800 plus psf. I know the prices has gone up substantially. Thanks in advance!

Depending on the unit facing, price differ substantially.
Try not to get pool facing if your are afraid of children making too much noise by the pool.

Rather than criticise, add value to this forum. there is junk and gem in this forum, you just need to know where to pick up things that are useful.
