From what I know...

West sun.
Road noise.
Odd layout.
Small kitchen.
Less than stellar performances of integrated projects.

So what's good about the Reserve? Design? Finishing? Convenience?

Anyone knows the maintenance costs?

within 1km of MGS and peihwa.. usually within 1km of a 1 good school already attractive to parents. Now got 2 good schools. Besides convenience of integrated development, this should be a main attraction to families.

Sch wise, I see another integrated development down the road - KAP residences, which is also within 1km to PH and MGS. But the performance is lacklustre even when it stands at around 1600-1800psf. Granted it's a smaller development and the mall is nothing to shout about (on hindsight). But there are certain similarities, enough for me to be concerned about about RR's future profitability.

The recent new launches in d21 have seen more encouraging performances though.. in the subsales as well. We’ll see.

being someone who stays in the area around RR, for some reason KAP has always been much more quiet compared to BW, even before KAP residences was built. The crowd is different as well, with KAP side being more upmarket with the old macdonalds and cold storage and BW side being more neighbourhood-ish with the hawker centre, toh yi HDBs around. With that being said I personally feel RR's entry price may be too high for the area based on what we see today. However, given that its a whole "rejuvenation" project, the prices of the properties now may not reflect that of what it will be once the whole transformation is complete. Just my own humble opinion, still learning from everyone in this forum. :)

I don't have a clue as well. It's a mixed bag over there. You have Daintree which looks like the best selling. Then you have Forett and Kismis, not enough transactions to comment. The 2 Mayfairs and the Linq which is soso. Then some bad ones like KAP and the Creek. Maybe I have missed some...

And if I am being honest, the resale market there is not like blowing the roof off. Transaction volumes are pretty low.

But ya, it's the same conundrum if you are like paying the highest psf there for RR, a big question mark.

At this point, I am wondering if its a better option to put my money elsewhere (other properties/investments etc.) and buy RR from the subsale or resale market, since prices may not move as much, as I do see myself staying there one day.

Any other properties you think are better?

i think Santa bro here mentioned that he thinks Pinetree could be something to look out for. Personally if I were to adopt an investment perspective, I will look out for GD and Pinetree this year, maybe even The Myst if prices are like botany. If I am looking at own stay then yea honestly RR is very tempting😂. I am also biased to the west side as this is the area I am familiar with.

There's only one lift lobby that goes down to the MRT.. so everyone in the entire development will need to congregate here or use the escalators.. and you'll wonder if these are in operation at 6.30 am when kids go to schools..

It's all in the brochures... your agents will also brief you if they are not too busy expounding on the virtues only..
Orange Tee for example was doing some information slideshows and the gist of it is how much money you'll make.. no down side and what are smart person you are if you buy this :)

There's only one gantry at the Beauty World MRT
So if you live in the highest tower, you will be about 6-700m from the bottom of the lift at level 5 in your own apartment to this lift to the MRT, then another 700m or so in the underground tunnel to the actual gantry or ticket office in the MRT, which is next to the Exit B...
Good cardio if you do this daily..


There are only three lifts serving each block, which has up to 8 units per floor and up to 27 floors of units all fighting for the same lifts

Its all about placement. KAP is a little out of the way.

Example at suntec got 2 kopitiams, food republic at basement beside fountain, one more kopitiam at lvl 3 near gv.

you can clearly see which kopitiam have more crowds. Food republic.

Using KAP is not a fair comparsion against RR.
