Penrose Sims Villa

[bujingyun82]

if you have the $ and pr8 going to be last property of your life for own stay.. probably PR8.. immediate amenities with direct mrt access.. the other 2.. 1 opposite expressway, 1 without much amenities..

Saw that Penrose increased prices today and Antares hearsay to increase on Saturday.

Jus wondering these two D14 projects or Pasir Ris 8 is better for own stay. Prices of all three are likely to be about the same aft price increment.

For own stay, I choose Pasir Ris. I prefer to visit beaches/Parks over red-light district. Prefer to have families as neighbours rather than ppl working in Geylang. Feel safer also

 

[Passerboy]

Looks like I’m not the only one who would opt for Pasir Ris 8 for own stay over the other two, investment wise I go with Penrose. Nearer to city is not necessarily a good thing for some.

Hopefully, Pasir Ris is developed further in the years to come!

Antares - too many heavy vehicles in this area cos of industrial factories nearby …

Maybe this is how the agent convinced the buyer to pay 2100psf

Haha. Maybe. I think there are really hardcore Pasir Ris fans to commit $2100psf. My threshold is $1600psf. What’s ur choice amongst the three then.

Pasir Ris 8 below 1650psf. But of course Penrose launch price was pretty attractive too. But for me I prefer to live in my house n get capital appreciation. So the condos near Geylang or Changi Prison are a no-go

Within a short span of 1 month, Penrose increase the price again!! Congrats to those who bought. Stay tune for the Nx construction updates .

Both are mixed development but latter I understand, the only plus point is low quantum and freehold but dairy farm residences don't know why not moving since 2019 till now barely 26 percent sold!
For nature lovers , area lacks of amenities there but since is a mixed development so should have bring some convinient to the residents nearby and "walking distance " to Hillview mrt.

Better options available at 1500 - 1700psf
Not walking distance to mrt
No amenities nearby
Far from CBD
Not the cheapest new launch
People don’t like the name “Dairy Farm”
Many resale condo options nearby
Buyer must own a car
No employment hubs nearby
Competition from Midwood which is nearer to MRT

Penrose aljunied mrt 1600-1700psf is the best. Now pasir ris also 2000 psf. Everyone happy. Specially 24/7 forum camper nishizhu who stay yishun Hdb also happy. Win win for everyone.

"In February 2022, HDB will launch about 2,000 to 3,000 units of BTO flats in towns/ estates such as Geylang (2-room Flexi/ 3-/ 4-room), Tengah (4-/ 5-room), and Yishun (2-room Flexi/ 3-/ 4-/ 5-room). This number is subject to review as more project details will be firmed up closer to the launch date. We will provide more details at the next BTO exercise"

It's anyone guess on the 2-4room Geylang BTO exact location... Will it be next to Penrose or Dakota precinct since some of the old Dakota block already torn down.

Confirm Geylang hottest. If beside Penrose, may not be so ‘hot’ as many will not want to live beside expressway & industrial estate at the same time !

Anyone knows if HDB will provide acoustic treatment for expressway facing units ?

Dakota has always been very very HOT.

From my understanding, the NEA’s Noise Impact Assessment (with effect on 1 Jul 2016) applies to all residential developments based on 2 criteria:

1) If a New Residential plot is to be 70m from an existing noise source/hotspot (Expressway, Major Arterial, MRT tracks)

2) If an existing Residential plot is to be 70m from a new noise source/hotspot (Expressway, Major Arterial, MRT tracks)

For 1) The developer of the new residential plot must ensure that all units in the plot must maintain 57dB indoors (windows and doors all open) and 67dB on facade through various acoustic measures implemented in the project/units.

For 2) The developer of the new noise source must implement acoustic measures at the noise source to ensure all residential units maintain the same mentioned noise limits.

You can see this in play through Park Colonial’s Road Facing units where the developer provided free ziptrak at the balcony

Thanks for sharing So if development is 100+m away from expressway (eg Normanton Park), then there is no requirement to implement any measures .

57dB is still very high though. Would be better if it’s below 50dB

So the plot beside Penrose. Hdb or Private better ?
