Hi

I am torn between two condos in balestier area, and need some sound advice.

The two condos in mind are :

1) Parc Haven (lor Limau)
6 years old freehold; next to Whampoa market/hawker; tons of little shops eg clinics, provision, barber etc even a 24hr ntuc; decent size swimming pool and gym; well spread among the 2 blocks; among hdb flats; plenty of bus services


2) Casa Fortuna (Ah Hood Rd)
TOP soon; nearest amenities outside condo are about 10 min walk; near future Sun Yat Sen Park; swim pool etc looks small given the small land area; among clusters of condos and international uni/schools.

I plan to get a studio (which is what I can afford, alas!) and it is for self use, probably for next 10 years.

Can any agent familiar with this area kindly advise on which will be more valuable in future if I were to resell? Both condos are now selling for about $1300 psf for a tiny studio.

Kindly post your advice here.

Thank you very much.

Hi Min, if I had to choose between Casa Fortuna and Parc Haven, I will choose Parc Haven.

Casa Fortuna is newer and in a better location in the sense that it is surrounded by other private property, giving it a more prestigious feel. Parc Haven is surrounded by HDBs, market/foodcentre, and shophouses, which some may not like. However, I feel that in general for own stay, transport and amenities is more important.

Both properties will have good captial appreciation propspects, but Casa Fortuna may have a slight edge because simply because it is newer.

Since you are buying for own stay, you must first like the development and its surroundings. It may be more prudent to sacrifice a bit of gain that is in 10 years time, for 10 years of convenience.

I do have a new project at balestier which you might want to check out. It is a very good development which you may want to consider and compare before committing to purchasing any property in Balestier.

If you are interested, I can provide more information and details.

Thanks!
