[EA EM 5 Room or 4 Room] if given a choice which would you choose?

[kyokoto]

Family of 5. Would you pay $900k- $1m for a 30 year old EA/EM HDB flat that is between 1500-1600 sq feet, or $850k for a newer 5 room HDB flat (6-10 years old) that is 1300 sq feet, or $680k or a 4 room HDB flat that is 990 sq feet (6-10 years old).

Provided all near MRT, near malls and other amenities.

Recently saw a few EA, EM quite tastefully done and the space quite big.

Most EM are already 50 years old liao.

 

[ChenHoNam]

EA

i don't like stairs personally.
dangerous for young kids (if you have) when going up and down.
when you are older too.

No la, 30 years old still have, those are probably the "newest" liao.

 

[twinklingstars]

Don't like stairs.. old liao cannot climb up.

Where?

 

[Pegasus]

4 room. if it is not a corridor unit with windows facing corridor.
4 room qualified for more govt chicken wings.

 

[Kkkaaaiii Mark II]

If can, stick to 5room and try to make 4th bedroom.

EA/EM, town council monthly fees higher, and when gov give whatever vouchers/rebates, you get the least.

 

[standarture]

lol as usual the stairs comments come in LOL

 

[kyokoto]

Where?

Pasir Ris, for example, this one 1993. 1603 sq feet, big leh. But not near MRT, if can find one within 400m from MRT, quite shiok.

[dry_county]

5 room 1300 sq ft…. I don’t like too much space.

5 room 1300 sq ft…. I don’t like too much space.

Why not? Can convert into 1 more extra room for work or study?

 

[zuoom]

choose the one u can payoff within 15 years

 

[Irenicus91]

The 4 room is sibei small, dont think is good for family of 5...

 

[FandiAhmad17]

I went with 5 room resale (1200sqft) for my family of 4. It really depends on your family. Turned out we didn't need all the space but I think we might gradually need the space as my kids grow up.
