Since your kids are young, even if place is ulu, also nevermind as long as you drive.
Later when they grow up, who knows your place might become very developed and would fetch a good price if you decide to shift.
Good to put them in a primary school which is nearby, especially good if it is within walking distance.

True. In fact I dun find this area ulu lah. The LRT is just next to Rivervale Plaza which is current under going thru renovation. It used to have a koufu foodcourt, KFC & Mac, a few clinics (think its healthway or something) and also NTUC and a wet market if I remember correctly. Now is just hope tat the Rivervale Plaza after the make-over will be even better lor.... ha, finger crossed.

This area is super ulu, no MRT, no amenities

For those earning combined income of $S12k above and forced to buy private apartments in D19, I would say Riversound, Parc Vera and Minton offers good value for money...can get them for less than 900psf. Was just wondering over some comments from other forumers here who mentioned stuff such as not near MRT or lack of amenities and then quick to dismiss these projects as not worth buying at all. The keyword here is worth. If not near MRT, then the developer must of course priced it lower than a project which is in close proximity to MRT and many amenities in order to sell it. But that does not mean such project cannot be sold....there would still be buyers. This is also in line with an example by Mr Lee KY in Hard Truths.

Personally, I like the layout of the 1200 sqftplus 4 bedder which does not have a junior master bath...which I think is not necessary. Hence one gets a masterbedroom and 3 spacious common rooms at a decent and affordable price. Also, facilities on offer awesome.

12xx sqft 4 bedder is not really that spacious lah... just alright...

Some think only 2000 sqft for 4 bdr is enough but some are happy with 120xx sqft. I say to each his own, no point correcting others.

Agreed just like not everyone love to stay in town area or even can afford to stay in prime area. As long one can adapt to the environment tat he lives in then it's good Liao lor.

your 2 bedroom which floor? Im looking too but not sure if the price will go down. Thanks.

730k ... Like the park.. Hope my neighbor is nice.. Haha

[Just]

Hi all,
I'd also made my purchase for Riversound. It's nice to see neighbors here.

[Just]

Hi Libserge,
It's nice to see u here too.
The other forum is too quiet le.. Hehe.

Bought a unit there also, the 4-bedded pool facing, 1163 Sqft at abt $942K, more like a 3+1 but the +1 is still big enough to fit a single bed (some +1 is really for study only).

Like the overall design of the project, lots of water and elevated quite high from grnd. Floor tiles are the bigger 800mmx800mm type which most condo only give 600mm type. The Bigger tiles and the design looks very classy. Toilet fittings are Hangrohe. Saw that they already started drilling and digging a few weeks back liao. Yipeee!

Hope tat the fininshed product will be as good looking as the showflat. In fact can press for more discount one... go with your cheque book and bargain lah.

Hi condoboy,
Great! Which stack you purchased?

Good buy!

[Just]

I had went down to RS today. It was crowded!
Understood the project has sold close to 50% of the 590units!
Price increased and more choice units taken!
It was originally planned for only 2 side gates, but now developer has decided to add in 1 more side gate which will lead to the future 4 story shops (next to Boathouse)... Where the new BTO flats are located. That's good news to me!
Means it adds more convenience!!! Yeah! I will have another option beside from going to Rivervale Plaza to do my marketing!

[Just]

70sqm. I find that place quiet and good

Good deal! Cheers!

care to elaborate what you mean by the future 4-storey shops next to Boathouse?

None of the RS agent told me that there will be a future shopping mall nearby.

Where is the source of this? Confirmed?

Oh.
You know BH site? The empty land beside BH.... There's gonna be BTO flats and there's also a 1-4storey shops and food court.
I had read it somewhere (can't remember where I read it from).
Thus today when I was at RS, I realized there's another side gate near to Blk9A at RS, and my agent told me that developer decided to open another gate so that it's more convenient for residents to walk across the road to get to the shops.

Hi Panerex77,
So are you also future RS resident?

[mantrix]

12xx sqft 4 bedder is not really that spacious lah... just alright...

i would say for 4 bedder 1800 sq ft minimum...

[Panerex77]

Hi Panerex77,

Hi Just, i am not..

i am living nearby though

[ysyap]

i would say for 4 bedder 1800 sq ft minimum...

With or without baywindows? W/o baywindow, think 1600 sq ft is good enough. Anything bigger can go buy landed liao...

[Just]

I think it's really up to individual and also own's requirement.

Well, I got mine 4bedroom for 1625sqft at Riversound too.
It really depends on each's requirement.

Personally, I think 4bedder for 18xx.... Is abit too big for me though..

[Just]

Oh. Nearby neighbor... I'm currently also staying nearby RS and I would drive pass everyday cos I travels by KPE to work daily.

Hi ysyap,
Yes I agree that it's too big for 18xx sqft for a 4bedder.

cool...i really hope the renovated Rivervale Plaza will turn out to be a gem..

and hopefully the shops next to Boathouse will become a reality too...

all stand to gain, regardless HDB or PC owners around here
