September 2013 BTO

[flashover]

Looking at the map, palm is slightly nearer to mrt but both still very far.

Did u ballot for Yishun? My appt is in Jan 2014.

I booked Angsana 2 mths ago.

actually it depends. angsana is for people who like reserviour view but must get high units. im more looking towards to be nearer to my current house so next time got kids got private childcare. lol. and its also much nearer to yishun safra and also khatib mrt (although still quite deep inside bout 15-20mins stroll)so get 6-8th floor i happy alr. these are my pov for 5room.

for the 4room is abit weird cause the vinegrove is just about 5mins walk to yishun safra. maybe this bto more people from 4room love reservoir view ?

I think it depends on buyer personal reference.

Angsana is also quite near to Khatib MRT and coffeeshops if cut through Yishun St 81.

But cycling wise, Vinegrove is closer with the direct route via Yishun Ring Rd, whereas for Angsana still need to ride up Yishun Ave 4. Vinegrove is also just next to the proposed mixed commercial development.

As for reservoir view, as there's a proposed residential development plot to the south and OCC lease might not be renewed, meaning there's no guarantee of good view.

Seems to me Angsana, Vinegrove, Palm and Saraca are all close to each other.

But main thing is where is the nearest market to buy fish! Hahaha.

There's a wet market in Khatib neighbourhood centre, but it's already quite packed with existing residents and too far from Saraca. It's still within 15 minutes walking distance from the other BTOs though.

That's why I advocated asking for more amenities and shops:

this BTO, where is the nearest projected eatery/kopitiam?
for verandah and edge, i think the nearest is at portico?
what about waterway view? any idea?

Nearest is portico but topaz also has an eatg house n supermarket planned. Other than that the planned mall is also walking distance

Anyone going for the 2-room in Sembawang? Any idea what is the queue number now? My number is more than 2x the number of flats, would be nice to know if I have any chance at all. I don't think I have much hope in the Nov BTO exercise....

 

[cloverpark]

i live opposite the NTUC right now. there is wet market there too.

hey bro, I went to the market on weekday morning 9.30am, a lot of people leh. Weekend should be worst. Don't think it can support the new BTOs.

See the map. The yellow box should be opposite where you're staying.

 

[gobbie]

Any idea if Jan BTO results will be out by first week of march?

My appt in March, thinking to try for Jan BTO to see if can get better number but if result after 1st week march, then no point liao...

Sembawang September's Last Quene No (updated 12mn) is 94.

Quene No 28? stands a good chance to get a good units

If I am not think, the last eligible No is 293, as basing on my calculation, dropout no is 24.

Which units are you interested at ?

I believe his no is 2 x the available units..

OMG, then it will be tough for him.

if 2x++ (twenty plus plus), he still stands a good chance.

I've tried that, but when I login, all I see is:
Your balloted queue position for a 2-Room in Sembawang is 5xx. As your queue position exceeds the 269 units of flats on offer, we may invite you to select a flat depending on the availability of flats and ethnic quota.

Then scrolling down, I can only see the application details, like date of application, area selected, and type of flat. That's it, no updated queue number.

Last eligible is around 300+, then I have no hope liao. But thanks for putting up this info. At least I have an idea how this is going....

Perhaps you're not invited, thus unable to see the current q no..

Sigh.
I probably will be asking again in Jan, to see if I still have chance. I don't mind lower floors. This forever alone one just want to find a home to set her shoes and bags down, for good.

Yep i stay arnd there. Im not sure bout how crowded is the wet market. Never been once even though i stay there for 17years. Lol. Weekend slp till afternoon. Weekdays working

yep they(vinegrove,palm breeze etc.) are all very near to each other. they are all now 2 big piece of land. but there will be road constructed inbetween some of the BTO. Less than a few mins walk between each bto? outside of naval primary school there is a bus stop 811 that goes to khatib mrt just right beside it, about 10mins ride. the bus goes to northpoint as well which is Yishun Mrt(15-20mins) and Yishun Swimming Pool(10-15mins). dont try walking unless you really have alot of time to spare. distance to khatib from palm breeze area using car is bout 2mins , cycle 5-8mins , walking 15-20mins. behind orchid park secondary sch is khatib central. there are 4 coffeeshops , 1 malay (24hr) , indian , chinese kopitiam (24hrs) . at khatib central you also will have NTUC and shen shiong supermarket(3mins walk apart). i live opposite the NTUC right now. there is wet market there too. but to me is not big. you want big can try chong pang. its beside sembawang air base if you have no idea. Palm breeze direction is nearer to shen shiong. if you're still lost you can go streetdirectory.com and see opposite khatib mrt (not the side of khatib court) . distance to safra yishun from palm breeze is about 5-10mins walk. yishun stadium about 10-15mins walk. to Orchid country club is bout 15mins walk. AM I GIVING TOO MUCH INFO FOR COMPETITORS ?! hahaha . kidding. dont snatch my unit from 501B!!!! T_T

Why dont want Saraca!?

Haha. My queue number is in the 80s.
