Actually luxus has bigger built up so more practical.
Pavilion Park has lots of trees and the environment very serene.
Next time....long long time later, when Tengah comes up will the place be more vibrant?
er...y u want it to be vibrant? quiet and serene better rite?Originally Posted by buttercarp

I want both.Originally Posted by devilplate
Estate quiet and serene.
But surrounding vibrant.
Huh... 2.5 mil budget..... i nebber say leh...but quite close.
Actually I like brand new, save the trouble of A&A, so 2nd hand cannot.
no nid to say mahOriginally Posted by buttercarp
check ura oredi noe u pay 2.3xmil lor....hehehe
but i dun like inter terrace....can be quite dark and poor air ventilation
so min a CT
Lucky mine not so high lah.Originally Posted by devilplate
Wah.... u so high class.... min CT.
That one beyond my budget.
my mom stays in a CT but I find her place much warmer than mine. For my inter terrace, on certain months I don't kenna direct sun at all as mine is north-west-west facing.Originally Posted by devilplate
My moms place kenna morning sun direct at the side wall. Morning if you open windows for ventilation, it is like a cook house.
For air ventilation, 2 sides open is good enough. Sometimes I am happy that my neighbour which is a corner terrace helps me to block the afternoon sun heat. I cannot imagine living in my neighbours place and kenna the afternoon sun everyday....

The most successful investors are defined by their actions in a bear market, not a bull market.
Tai Keng Gardens area sits on a huge slope. Houses at the higher end will be good. House type ranges from inter to corner to semi-D. Also got single units but not sure if can call bungalow...Originally Posted by kane
A good gauge to see if a house is on high ground is by simply checking if the hse needs a water pump. 1 eg are those near bukit timah hill like chun tin.. Normally pub will require them to install water tank and pump and easily cost 12k..Originally Posted by ysyap
I thought the water pump is for pumping water to the upper floors of the house and every house has a water tank?Originally Posted by stl67

to gauge high ground, just look at the amsl (above mean sea level).
some useful links to amsl, pub and water pump:

Height of Highest Fittings
Above Mean Sea Level Mode of Supply
a. Not exceeding 25 metres Direct supply to fittings from
PUB mains.
b. Above 25 metres but not Indirect supply through
exceeding 37 metres high level water storage tank.c. Above 37 metres Indirect supply through low level
water storage tank with pumping
to high level water storage tank.
2.2.2 The high level water storage tanks should have a minimum capacity
equivalent to 24 hours consumption.
2.2.3 For mode (c), which is to be adopted for water supply to premises and tall
buildings beyond the reach of direct mains pressure, the water from the
Authority’s mains will flow through a meter/ master meter to a low level
tank with float-operated valve control. From the low level tank, pumps
(with duplicate in case of breakdown) will deliver the water to high level
tanks of storage capacity equivalent to one day’s water requirements to
cater for breakdown and emergencies. The high level storage tanks are to
be provided with compartments and the pipework so arranged to enable
maintenance and cleaning to be carried out without interruption to the
water supply. The low level tank shall be located such that the inlet to the
low level tank is below 137 metres reduced level. Where the inlet to the
low level tank is between 125 metres and 130 metres reduced level, the
storage capacity of the low level tank should be sized to be at least 1/5 of
the daily water requirements. Where the inlet to the low level tank is above
130 metres reduced level, the capacity of the low level tank should be
sized to be at least 1/3 of the daily water requirements. The total storage
capacity of the low level and the high level tanks should be equivalent to
one day’s water requirements of the water service installations to be served
by the tanks

the earlier phase of luxus has no pump, whereas you can see the pumps in the latest phase 5 showrooms. you may check your plan for your pavilion to see if the tank is there.
You might wish to drive around this area at Bukit Timah:Originally Posted by kane

One area has large rolling plain which is very nice. It will be my dream to own a house here (if not, maybe when I die someone burns a paper version)...
The newer phase of pavilion park has pump and tank. The rest I don't know.Originally Posted by lifeline
