Terra Hill, Grand Dunman, and Pinetree Hill: 3 Top Family-friendly Condos in Singapore to Consider

In the second half of 2023, we’re seeing major new condos launching at a minimum of $2,000 per sq ft (PSF) – as predicted in the PropertyGuru Singapore Property Market Report Q3 2023.

Terra Hill, Grand Dunman, and Pinetree Hill are three major new condo launches in 2023. All these developments are excellent options for property seekers who are looking for a home for their families. In this article, we delve into the reasons why you should consider buying these three major new condo launches.

Whether you’re an HDB upgrader, first-time homebuyer, or simply want to explore another home for your family, this guide is for you. We also discuss some of the key factors property seekers consider when buying a condo that will suit the needs of their families.

Communication is key when you are choosing a home for your family. It can be helpful to have an honest discussion so you know what is important for each member of the household.

For instance, if you and/or your spouse work from home, a home office might be a priority. If you wish to expand your family by having more kids, you should ensure you will have enough space for your new arrivals.

Your family’s preferences and interests can also push you to look for certain condo amenities. For example, if your family members enjoy sports, you might want to look out for amenities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, and a gym.

When picking an area for your family, you should consider factors such as the location of your workplace, schooling options for your children and amenities such as supermarkets, and childcare and medical facilities.
