Scroll down on this blog to see what Millenium Bridge is like. Would be awesome if we could have sormething similar at Tanjong Rhu

Last know is suppose to be a bridge that is wide enough for buggie to travel on. I believe is similar and an extention from the current buggie system used in Marina south garden. So should be a nice walk. However, yet to get a confirmation on that.
The other facility I am looking forward is the water taxi that is going to serve this area.
Electron, you have vested interest in Tg Rhu? If yes, wish you all the best in your value investment. Cheers!

Yepp! Cheers

tg rhu always been quite "laid back". "so near yet so far" from the city. with a new bridge, it would spoil the tranquility.

its a nice place. feel like a slow enclave where u can walk to the gardens by the bay. once the ERL comes announced the price wont be where it is now. Its a interesting place.

Yeps indeed this is a very tranquil enclave, where you get fresh air and don't get to see heavy traffic.
I remember during one of the recent new year eve or cny eve, there were road blocks by TP to allow only residents with car labels or resident passes to enter.
Newbie
wow .. the photo shot is really great!
I also like TR, the tranquility, the picturesque environment, full condo environment ..
But it really seems like all these did not translate into true high-end value ... it seems that the "newer" people nowadays value convenience of public transport and convenient stores etc ..
So will this area ever progress like the rest of the island?
Newbie
Yes, but have to borrow the power of GLS. But that will mean the place will be more croweded. Cant have the cake and eat it right.
Mercedes Lover
Flxcat, since u r also vested in this area, may I know what is your take?Yes, but have to borrow the power of GLS. But that will mean the place will be more croweded. Cant have the cake and eat it right.
Do you hope to see more new developments in Tj Rhu such that the prices of the existing ppties will be pushed up, or would you rather this enclave maintains its tranquility without any construction noise and air pollution?
Personally, I rather this place maintains its current peace and beauty. Can't imagine if they start digging the mrt lines... This place would be real messy

view from my unit at tanjong rhu. will be renting out in 3 years time when my kid attend P1. very nice place, sad to go
not going to sell the place at all. hope to move back one day

tell u. once the costal Express way is done. the ERL is announced. the GLS there will start. so want better enter.. esp the 1st timmers. dont want. then just stand n watch
Mercedes Lover
I don't have much problems renting out my unit there for the past decade. I believe most tenants there value the tranquility. But once the surrounding construction starts, I wonder if it will become a challenge...
Senior
no choice... u can't have everything right. have to bare with lower rental that 3-4 yrs.
Mercedes Lover
Yeah, mabbe I should heed yr advice. Almost wanted to cash out this unit a couple of yrs back, until I see how lovely the Garden Bay East is ......and it's within walking distance!
Newbie
rental seem rather strong still over there
Newbie
Personally I enjoy the current tranquility. However, having a mrt is definitely a plus.
As for the GLS, I just embrace it and flow with the tide as is partly of govt planning of this area long time ago and I invest in this area with my wide eyes opened.
Being very pragmatic, hoping that nothing is going to change the tranqulility is futile. So I choose to enjoy what I can now instead before it is gone
Junior

your legs are long....
mutant powerpuff
Can... the walk is about 5 km.

Actually Gardens by the Bay East is just next to Costa Rhu. There's a path that leads beneath Benjamin Sheares Bridge. Within very short walking distance. It's only the other half of Gardens (with the Supertrees and conservatories) that is a bit further across the barrage. Going there for afternoon jog now!
Newbie
Just went to garden east. Very hot leh, can jog meh. I rather sit by pool sudden sip kopi
Mercedes Lover
Evening time not nice to jog along the Bay East garden ..... cos of the direct west-sun. Morning would be nice ... and of course night time would be a fantastic spot to admire the Singapore city skyscrapers...

Despite being close to 10 yr old, sanctuary green is superbly well maintained. That's why it has been very popular with rental....nope, sanctuary green
