Stirling Residences

2 of it yes.

Are these north facing?

Stirling may never get sheltered walkway to mrt - thoughts? In that sense people will go for CT and QP?

 

[1993newbie]

Resale buyers are comparing QP and CT currently, gotta say since QP TOP, more units in CT moved instead.

QP inefficient layout + Wavy balconies + not so timeless exterior design swayed buyers to CT instead.

Once Stirling and Margaret ville enters the market, buyers will somehow compare these 4 developments if they are looking around the area.

In this locale, Commonwealth Towers wins hands down, then Queens Peak (both are relatively sheltered to QT Mrt) then Stirling Residences. Margaret Ville is for the select few who wants luxury and quaint living.

I think Stirling would have an advantage in terms of having the largest land size, the only true new mega development in the area (the other new condos are much smaller). The additional distance to MRT is very reasonable, and you avoid the bustle of being next to the main road / MRT. Price-wise, there's not too much of a premium over CT and QP in terms of PSF.

Stirling is gd. The flaw is no shelter to mrt

And 2BR without store/HS as pointed out in my previous post

Well, most new launch 2BR don't seem to have storeroom / HS anymore (and if they do, you'll be paying for that space anyway), so I guess this is as good as it gets. Gotta be more creative with storage ideas lor, like custom carpentry with hidden storage, using balcony space, etc.

The Upslode climb from MRT to Stirling is an issue I think when gg home, it’s quite tiring.

 

[westin1]

Looking at the progress, i wonder when SR will t.o.p

Went for a run around the area yesterday, the side gate seems to be at the bottom of the slope, so you won't have to climb up the slope to get into the development (of course, once inside, I assume there will be lots of stairs, especially if you're in the furthest block XD). Total distance from side gate to MRT entrance was about 300m, I walked it in just under 3 minutes.

The downslope from Stirling Residences to MRT to me was 3.x mins but the upslope to the showflat was 4.x mins and a tiring one. The unshelthered part was also my concern. Maybe u are quite fit haha..

 

[assiak71]

Agree slope is not an issue. The side entrance is at bottom of slope

Are certain stacks in QP and CT affected by track noises from the mrt?

 

[1993newbie]

Yes they do. My friend’s place in CT faces the MrT station directly after the condo pool, when I’m there I don’t really hear the mrt noise tho. Of coz all windows n balcony doors shut. It’s Low floor.

While we Lepak at the sky garden that’s when we can hear the mrt noise.

Its not just mrt. Theres the busy road too. So the priced units are those facing north. But CT north has HDB.

Are there prized stacks of CT? I.e faces away from the road and not so blocked?

Just wonder will people get used to the noise after a while?
