The Tropica (Next to Temasek Poly)

[McKinnon]

Coz only Blk 51 is within 1km to st hilda's with poolview leading to reservoir view bro.

I was wondering why is it not 61 and 57 being the hotter and more favourable stacks instead of 51. Any reasons? I thot those reservoir facing always more in demand? No?

That's the reason for my choice of stack 42 but at WV those reservoir only facing units cost much much more than the stack of my choice.

*scratches head.

because only 4 bedders in 61 or 57 has unblock view but very very few owners are selling... you can see most of the transactions from these 2 blocks are 2 bedders. so 有价无市. in fact i have spent alsmost 2 years to find out a 4 bed-room unt in Tropica. that's why agent use 1.2mil to attract owner

another hand, typical 3 bedder in Tropica is around 1200 sqft, 4 bedder is around 1500, that results the absolute quantum of 4 bedder much bigger. as bro McKinnon said, 1mil is a treashold to HDB upgrader - but i guess it's not anymore

[desquire]

This brings a smile to me. It seals the fact tt I did not purchase the wrong unit and it wasn't a wrong move. I hv the "ace" cards in my hands. If good I keep, otherwise I can release without worrying about the price and people not wanting to purchase it. Hooray. Haha.

btw, which stack in WV did you buy? kengar is stack 13, mine is 09, how about you?

[desquire]

You people so far away from me. Best stacks at a premium. I'm at stack 42. A tinge of chlorine plus a pocket full of rain water. Hehe.

Haha nope.. i am already within 100m of St Hilda Primary in my present HDB flat.

[SRM]

The push could be mainly due to St Hilda's school admissions. I was checking the map. Dont think Water View is within 1km of St Hildas. So the Block 51 demand will remain for people interested in staying in condo within 1km.

Any idea which unit is this?

[bfam]

$1.24 / 829 would work out to be 1496sqf which is one of the 4 roomers in blk 55. Wonder which floor or stack is that.

[McKinnon]

so clever, means u either stay here or you're agent

high floor stack 1 reservoir view.

[bfam]

Heehee... not an agent, maybe it is a good option to consider coz I saw my agent driving a BMW. Was it the unit marketed by Shanel? Thought she just put up the ad last week and it was already sold. So hot!

hehehe... coz u r very focus on premium blk 51 only mah. the other blks dont interest u. me very kpo, like to study the whole site plan and stacks before buying.

that reminds me a couple of weeks ago, Shanel also put up a 1518 but was taken down quite soon. do u happen to know the transacted px as well?

[McKinnon]

all tropica transactions interest me lei..

you're looking to buy or already bot?

1518 4br not actively marketed, so i'm fairly certain it's not transacted yet.

are you interested in that unit?

Any insider views from Tropicans?
Would this be amicably resolved if those high-rise litters can be stopped?

IN THE ST NEWSPAPER TODAY
Residents at odds over covered patios

Some owners say trellises are for safety, but trash on top upsets others

THE ground-floor residents of Tampines condominium The Tropica said they installed trellises with polycarbonate covers on their patios literally to take cover.
They added that their families' safety was at stake because upper-floor residents threw litter onto their patios. But because the rubbish then landed on the covers, this mess also made the higher-floor residents upset.
