La Fiesta @ Sengkang

[newbie11]

Yeah, no site plan, floor plan, price indication, what is TS expecting readers to do? Anyway I think Sengkang central suffers from a lack of positioning. Punggol central has big mall and waterfront park. Buangkok also has amenities and is nearer to KPE. Further down, Hougang has old school amenities like wet market and better food choices.

Buangkok has what amenities? Sengkang today is the best u can get with compass point.

[newbie11]

1br stack 47 face directly to guard house! Really tekan 1br buyers

[Reuben]

When is the offiical launch?

[phantom_opera]

Common toilet facing living rm for the 2br. Don't like layout

that is what 屏风 for, and very fast know when last person did not flush lol

[2824]

Just for discussion, This one vs CDL's Buangkok vs ATT, which one better for investment?

Sengkang is surrounded by ugly HDBs (sorry to say) if u go to Buangkok, the HDB there looks "special" and the surrounding looks more classy. Not everything is abt shopping center. Sometimes I go those shopping all the shops and food the same, make me feel so sianz.

Go Kovan market to eat better.

[star]

I will just buy 1 bedder there.

[Adva181]

Avg $1200psf for SK is really too much.

[jacelynchia]

I like how they market it...."any specially crafted gardens such as cactus garden, grass garden, millennium garden, palm garden, silver garden, bamboo gardens, and sinful gardens provides variety and colourful surrounding of living here...."

I wonder what is sinful garden.....can put so many garden in that piece of land?

Sinful Garden? Adam and Eve there? haha

Given the number of units, I will shy away, personal thoughts is overcrowded and many coming in and exiting at the same time.

Interesting Facilities: Pizzaria and teppanyaki pavilion and the Dragon caverns. Definitely need to find out what is the dragon cavern about and also read that a thousand year old olive tree will be imported from spain , planted in millennium garden.
Developer going all out to sell this project!

[kane]

sinful garden is definitely the weirdest choice of theme ever.

Check rental rates for Compassvale Heights (? not sure of exact name). The condo that is directly over Sengkang MRT.

This area is hoping for Aerospace Hub to take off.

4.56psf for Compass Heights?'

Anyway, going down this Saturday for preview at La Feista with relative who wants to get a 1 bedroom unit. Phantom Opera just posted that rental for MM at Kovan Grandeur can get up to around $2500 per month. Wow!

[gwlip]

considering the 5 bedder for own stay here.. but unfamiliar with Sengkang.. and also it feels very scarily expensive to be paying so much for the area (indicative 1.55M onwards after discount?)

LOL surrounded by all "special" HDB how the condo stand out? Surrounded by ugly HDBs then the PC will dazzle

Yup, the indicative pricing just went up. Agent claim many cheques collected expressing interest, hence EL going to price it high. The 1 bedder will be $580k onwards range.

Sengkang central does have many amenities already. This particular plot also very near MRT. But the layout of the units really sucks. Only the 4 bedroom and 5 bedroom decent and good size for families. For the one bedders, there are stacks whereby the balcony and aircon ledge same size at 6sqm respectively. The aircon ledge for all layouts too excessive.

Buy what you can afford and like. At least enough cash to hold out 1 year in event of global recession and business get closed down and job loss from retrenchment. People forgot about what happened in the GFC too fast. My personal thoughts: I agree with many forumers here that prices getting too high and many people rushing in for fear of further price increase in properties.

[star]

High price with alot of cooling measures still on is not scary.
High price without much cooling measures is scary.

SK central have many amenities except a cineplex... nearest probably is at Nex...

For guys who are concern about aircraft noises , saw this at another forum:

I have been staying in Sengkang for the last 10 years. I guess I can shed some light to your queries.

1) It is definitely not a daily affair thingy. If you ask me for a breakdown, its hard to tell you. Sometime it can be once a week, sometime twice a week, sometimes once in a fortnight.

2) Yes they fly during the day most of the time between 10am to 2pm. However, there are times when they fly at night too, but usually about 7-8pm. Night flying is less frequent.

3) The noise are from those fighter jets. It is similar to those you get to hear during NDP. Occasionally, there are commercial flights too. But I would say fighter planes are noisier. They dun fly solo, they usually fly in a few. If you wanna compare to TPE or above ground MRT, I think these are even noisier. This is because the noise is almost perpetual from the day till night. Aircraft noises are once in a while.

4) My personal feel is fighter planes are noisier than commercial planes. We are quite used to these noises after a while.

Just a short note, during NDP period or if there are exercises, the frequency of flying increases. That applys to weekend as well.

I hope it helps

[phantom_opera]

580k for 2nd floor facing rubbish dump or guard house ... right?

lowest echelon .. but I like it

[kane]

But for an equal echelon footing. From the site pov, I would have thought luxurie is better.

In future, can go to the cinema at Watertown in Punggol - one MRT stop away.

[bonestock]

or go to Seletar Mall also can.

[draik]

I think agents forgot to promote something in Sk.
free shutter buses to parkway parade, ikea, changi airport on weekends.
free shutter buses to rivervale plaza, punggol plaza everyday.

Or maybe the rich do not need them.
