Agree, all school are Good school in Singapore but some are Better.
My son was in the 400 NUS High but did not make it to the 180 in 2006.
He got into a girl school at Duman High, but I move him to France for his Secondary (Collège Henri Dheurle) and A level education(Lycée François Magendie).

Already got in right? No issues, just a matter of spending a bit more time commuting...
suddenly the price in CCR gone very high. .
Yes, I am also very surprise too.
Suddenly, lots of ppl visiting and buying condos....no matter it is new launch or 2nd hand........ don't know where their money comes from.....
I need to go for an another round of house visit in this weekend, which is very painful.

I do find that some commuting for the kids build character (~1 hour). These days, when they demand everything to be instantly gratified, patience is fast becoming scarce. I rode my beat up mountain bike (my dad insists that I paid for it myself) to my Goodman Road secondary school every morning. Avoiding all the expensive car traffic built up every morning. Faster than my dad's friend 911 sometimes...

Now CCR resale all went up. Last year when I was hunting for properties, Freehold 3 bed room 1550 sqft Cavengnah garden only asking 1.6M and transacted @ 1.55M, quiet facing stack, not facing CTE. Pacific Mansion 1528 sqft City view top floor unit only asking 1.9M and low floor quiet facing unit only asking 1.7M. Sophia residences 3 Bedder 10xx sqft unit mostly asking 1.7M only. Now look at transaction price, all went up. Should wait or bit the bullet now?

Parents more affluent these days, hence different. I walked 1km each way, everyday from Sec 1 to Sec 4, come thunderstorms or blistering heat so I can save 25cents each time from having to transfer to another bus that will drop me off the school gate. There were many times when family finances were tight, my Mom couldn't give me any pocket money, and I tabao plain bread to school and walked 4km plus home. One great thing that came out of it. I developed strong legs, and could outrun most of the girls in my class when it came to 2.4km nafta tests.
These days kids are dropped off from one point to another, and hardly have any concept of money. Times have changed; parenting styles and values have also changed.

Look at where you are now. Money cannot buy character. However, I disagree that parenting style needs to change. Somethings in life like character building principles should never change. Your experiences (I assume) taught you to be prudent and savvy with money. Some folks have all the money but sadly, clearly lacking in the quality department. Some see a narrow street around Orchard as a be it and end, looking down at others. That is something we should never instil in future generation.
I have serious reservations sending my kids to school everyday when they get older. Now that public commuting infrastructure is really advanced compared to the 90s, our parenting style should evolve too in line with LTA schematics.
IMHO, kids should learn to share a ride, give up their seats and understand more about their surroundings and community. Only through active commuting do they see that, not through a car back seat window with their eyes glued to YouTube. They may go back to a private condo or landed as their dwelling, that contrast everyday will hopefully at least make them grateful to what they have.

Fully agree. But kid is now looked after by my parents. I bought them a car so they can get from point to point more easily, but turns out that the car is being used to fetch the grandkids from point to point instead. Almost fainted when my dad told me that he drove to Nex Mall in a thunderstorm last week, to tabao four xiaolongbaos for my kid, just because he didn't like my mom's cooking. Sigh.
When I lacked the will to instill discipline into my own child, I cannot ask the same of others too. :(

D10 is hard to find at this budget, assuming you only want freehold.
D11 has a lot more options - eg Watten Estate area, or Adam Park condo (there's a 3 bedroom unit asking for $1.78m). Older kid takes bus 74 (3 stops) and then walk home. You drop the younger kid off at HPPS.

Totally agree with you, right now my elder boy travels more than 1 hour everyday.. however with younger one going to P1 next year I think not feasible lah.

I like Watten Estate but no one selling right now... Adam Park is good as long facing quite side.. yah guess need to look for D-11 when D-21 condos like Mapple Woods and Gardenvista asking D-10 prices....

Try the slightly smaller apartments, shelford suites is not bad.
it's a CDL project, 77 units, not the most perfect project, but nicely within your budget for 3 bedder. and it is bukit timah d11 location, freehold and it's near MRT.

I have asked this question before - the maint fees of many condos are ridiculously high, but no one response.
e.g. cosmopolitan (2 bed rms) - SGD 733 per month, trilight (2 rms) - SGD 650 per month, many condos (only 1000sq ft) charge SGD 700 per month!
Some sale persons of new launch projects are honest, they tell me that after I buy the condo, the maint fees would be doubled to over SGD 700 after 2 years. They tell me to aware of it =.=
After I buy the condo, I become a tenant and work for the management companies!

Monthly Maint is by share value of the bigger the units the more share. Now with higher cost = higher maint. But again if the number of units is more eg. 400 above likely is lower.
Of course u can always be in the committee to voice concern?
Maybe you want to start a new thread on maintenance fee and all can chipped in so that we can have a good benchmark of who is charging what for the size of development, facilities etc.
Eg Cosmopolitan 2bdrm as you mentioned is $733, we can find out what comparable projects (eg Urbana, Trillium etc) in the vicinity is charging to compare.
New unit not true especially OCR. Your agent smoked you.
Mine in fact dropped 2 years after TOP.
But drop not necessarily good and raise not necessarily bad.

Any idea on Jervois Lodge?
What I know is that for estate between 100-400 units, maintenance fees for a 3BR condo unit should be >$400 pm to $1000 pm. Anything less than $400 pm, the estate is probably poorly maintained or has no security guard or just 1 guard.
1 security guard per shift (2 shifts per day) already costs about >$3800 pm (used to be about $2500 pm).
1 Cleaner now costs >$2000 pm (used to be about $1200 pm).
Note that above are not their salaries, but what the vendor company quote us (their salaries are obviously lower since the company take a big cut).
Security guards and cleaners' salaries have all gone up by a lot because of Min wages implemented for them - now >=$1500 pm for security guards and >=$1000 pm for cleaners.
Brace for more increases to come, this time for landscaping workers (because they will soon have Min wage!) etc!
Also, water bills going to go up by 30%!
And coming next is carbon taxes, which will increase your estate's electricity bills by possibly +30% as well!
You should brace for maintenance fees to go up by another 15-30% in coming few years!

Good work in mapping out the costs breakdown. You serve in the condo MC?
Projects with extensive landscaping, concierge services, multiple private lifts (good luck when lift modernisation comes around after the development reaches 15-20 years), lots of swimming pools... the levy charges and maintenance fees will never come cheap. The best thing one can hope for is that there are tonnes of units within the development to share out the joy, and costs.

You brought up a good point - Those condo estates with private lifts (and not high-rise), they better brace for huge maintenance increase when the lift is about 20 years old (the replacement will cost a bomb!)............

Haha or keep putting off the lifts replacement, and convert into a walk-up! A development with private lifts serving only two stacks, will seriously be looking at at least 10 lifts to modernise each time. *gasp*
Seriously I am not sure if a condo that is low rise (e.g. Up to 5 storeys) can even get the motion of modernising the lifts passed at the AGM/EGM. I reckon the first and second floor SPs will vote against the motion. The only people may vote for the modernisation will be the 4th and 5th floor dwellers. Seriously the whole thing may get stuck in limbo, and the development becomes a walk-up. No test case in Sgp so far, but I'd like to see how it pans out. :)
Haha same for those condos with lots of private longkangs, aka swimming pools, within each unit. Over time water seepage and spalling concrete will be inevitable. The water proofing itself will be another bomb...
I don't think those low rise (like up to 5 storeys) have private lifts?
Private lifts are relatively newer phenomenon (something like for the past 10+ years) when developers try to sell common areas to owners in the estate!
Anyway, if estates don't overhaul and upgrade their lifts past 20 years, they will start to see situations like what happened to those lifts in HDB flats (free fall, jerk up and down etc?). The only difference is that those HDB flats' lifts problems have to do with using cheapest vendors..............

These twins mostly bought for rental , maintenance lower is better. Buy for the piece of freehold land. LH Martin modern cost 595M. How Much should these two ask for ? If buy for rental , no need to spend too much on maintenance which will affect your yield badly.
Tenants will always choose these as their last resort (because their rentals are cheap?)

Based on what I understood from agents, recent RCR projects such as Sims Urban Oasis and TRE Residences charge around $300 - 350 per month for 3-4BR units...
Are these going to double to $700 two years after TOP? Wow... :single_eye:

Private lifts are relatively newer phenomenon (something like for the past 10+ years) when developers try to sell common areas to owners in the estate!
Got lah. D'Ecosia by Hong Lai Huat Construction at East Coast, launched in 2001. 73 units, 5 storey development, and each unit with private lifts.
Recent low rise developments (e.g. the Glynebourne) with private lifts are dime a dozen. One lift serving 5 units, when modernisation comes, will really be good luck to the SPs. :)
No wonder these estates are in such badly maintained shape.............. :scared-2:
Agree, I have folks in one of them and they always have complaints registered about the dirty surroundings but nothing done and my friend have no choice but leave the condo since MC didn't do anything....
Doubt the MC will want to do anything because there are usually 3 kind of MCs that will allow their estate to become run-down:
1) Try not to spend any money (at all costs, including letting the estate run-down) so that they don't have to pay so much maintenance funds.
2) Some MC members (usually is the Chairman but may include other members in collusion with the Chairman) want to benefit from the estate maintenance jobs (always giving to same old few companies they are related to). Pay a lot of money but very little real work done.
3) Aiming for enbloc, so purposely make the estate so run-down so that people will be convinced to sign up for enbloc.
Heard Cavengh Garden many aiming for enbloc?

Was quite bad in 2010/ 2011. After the flood, they installed flood gates and alarm system. My understanding is the car park has not encountered any flooding since.

on Maintenance charges..
I live in D10, FH,

4xx units
i pay less than $500 per mth on maintenance charges.
We have 3 entrances (3 sets of security guards)
our highest expenses are :
security guards
landscaping ( over 800,000 sqft land)
over the years , we have accumulated over $6mil in sinking funds...hence we can afford to still pay only $4xx per month for 3 bedroom units.
we have in house staffs... technicians and cleaners. They have been with us for many many years.
It is true that new condos are charging really high maintenance fees.
Like many said, it will go higher....

Or can you leave with large terraces but 2 bedrooms. Glentrees is a beautiful and quiet estate. My friend stays at one of the penthouse, visited it recently, left the place with a very good impression.

Tessarina is also a nice development. Not sure if this unit faces Bukit Timah Rd or not. If not, this is a good deal.

Good luck!
Thank you so much for the above... both of them are in my bucket list and I didn't even bothered to look at the 2 bedroom since thought Glentrees is so out of my budget... but the space in 2 bedroom is more than 3 bedroom nowdays.....
Thanks again will look at them.
Hi all,
I am looking for decent condo in D-10 area due to kids in hwa chong and Henry park. Budget around 1.5-1.8m and preferably minimum 1200 sq ft with freehold status. For own stay and long term purchase with definite move by mid next year .
All the comments welcome
Thanks
If you can stretch your budget a bit, you could consider Tulip Garden (despite being next to the road, love the greenery and spaciousness), Cornwall (like a mini resort with the lushness) or Olina Lodge (opposite Parvis, peaceful neighbourhood and not next to main road junction).
