Better dont buy those super popular projects... Not exclusive and badly maintained plus horrid reviews make it difficult to lease or sell in future... It is human nature to post negative feedback rather than share any compliments.

[Wild Falcon]

Not all popular projects are bad lah. Some are very well maintained. In this case, it is in Meyer area and most residents are Indian. So one would have to assimilate to the Indian culture. I have a friend who lives in another Meyer Road condo nearby. I've never seen a non-Indian there before. its like 90% of residents are Indians. Meyer and Tg Rhu are the new Little India.

Not all reviews are bad. There are mixed reviews. Obviously the Indians will find the place wonderful with the same type around. And no matter what, the Indians did inflate the prices in Meyer and Tg Rhu. India condo huat ah!

that's why if for own stay .. open your eyes wide wide to see whether you are ok with the mgmt + the crowd at the pool

I heard of construction workers jumping into public pools ... they never shower after work

[Sleepyhead]

But prices still sky high for Makena despite poor reviews, bad management and ageing facilities..

There must still be a lot of demand for it.. Freehold, Sea views, MRT coming up nearby, and prices less than the new developments nearby.

[Wild Falcon]

Indian invasion. They will pay a premium to invade a condo to mix around with their own type. Same hygiene level, same taste in perfume, same culture etc. I think Meyer Road and Tg Rhu condos are the most overvalued if not for Indian invasion.

is a good area but i would avoid, and i quote one of the reviews, "Many residents have no experience of being outside their home country and behave with appalling consideration for others with regard to their habits".

So? I have seen countless times in my condo the PRC just walk out from their pool side unit in the morning after wake up and straight into the pool without prior showering...

angmors do that too.

[Sleepyhead]

OMG! Which condos are you guys in?

[carbuncle]

angmors do that too.

There was one day where the pool filtration stopped working. In any given day, there are couples who swim late into the night god knows what they do in it, party of kids who play jump in and out of the water and ball games kicking around hitting the pool side units glass etc without a single word of lecture from the adult caregiver at the side, pinoys who enter the pool fully clothed in tshirt and shorts, locals who dont shower before and after oiling themselves suntanning and jump in, only shower before going back to save water, so that very day after the water became green color and murky and oily... With algae and debris here and there. Plus a foul smell. Just one day...

[radha08]

seriously a LOT of these BIG condos turn out to be an enclave of sorts...the cina condo will attract cinamen...the pinoy condos attract the pinoys and the indian condos attract the abnn.....thank GOD HDB got racial quota ruling otherwise will also breed all this kind of nonsense.....seriously recently i went to view apt in SIMEI green was REALLY put off by the crowd at the poolside and playground.....now i seriously beginning to feel like staying back in HDB and buy PC as investment to rent to these clowns...

[radha08]

of course other bros may have better experience care to share any GOOD family oriented condo that has 70% singaporean and 30% foreigners...i NOT talking EC but PC.....

[carbuncle]

Mine has a good mix of all. UNITED NATIONS plus ASEAN black white and all colors in between. Not sure if I should be happy or sad...

Usually far flung from mrt and set amidst HDB. Hmmm. Sounds like oxymoron. HDB means sure got some mrt nearby. Means dont have lor...

UNITED NATIONS definately better than SINGLE nation...

Everything will be old soon or later. It might all fine and dandy when you buy it. It can easily turn into a slump in a few years. I remember makena was still alright about 10 years back before it was invaded. So in the end its your luck

[Sleepyhead]

So are you all saying don't buy Makena?

Even though it has a lot going for it?

FH, MRT, sea views, high rental yields, cheaper than nearby developments....

[sh]

got firesale can consider.

wait for major renovations....
