Fantastic value and en bloc potential
Under valued property in the heart of Singapore. Convenient with 2 MRT lines. Plenty of amenities. Exclusive with only 200 units. Huge piece of land. Full condo facilities. Hard to find this kind of gems anywhere. -

Too crowed town.
We agree that Bishan 8 has great location. However, we did not put our deposit after all. Somehow, the vibe is not right. Bishan MRT & Junction is so crowded with people & at all times. All the fast food joints are jam packed with families. Everywhere there is people. Even in the Library! People are sitting all over the library. Traffic is constantly ongoing. Worse during peak hours. Coming home from CBD passed so many ERPs. Yes, Bishan is so convenient but we still feel that home should be serene & the soul should be allowed to quieten down on its way home. -

Closest Condo to Bishan Mrt
Closest to Bishan Mrt and yet surrounded by peaceful private properties. Bishan 8 really is consider value for money. Especially so after the launch of Sky Habitat. With full facilities and ideal size of 200 units ensure privacy and pleasant happy community. Strategic Central location on Sg map make it very accessible to all parts of the Island. Surrounded by great Food, healthcare, schools, shoppings and banks. Provide convenience in every aspect of life be it for children, adults and retiree. MacRichie reservoir and the newly revamp Bishan park will make jogging addictive. -

Resort Living
Want to return to a resort home after a hectic day at work? Yes Bishan 8 provide this feel. Pros: top in convenience, buses, MRTs, taxi all at door steps. for those who drive, CTE, PIE all within mins via Braddell rd. J8 right opposite. Many eateries around. Stepping into the condo itself, you're back to your very retreat, nice landscape, full condo facilities, better ones then many other condos. Cons: Odd layout, small kitchen, small bedrooms which some can compromise but not the master, barely enough walking space after a Queen size bed :( Lost the resort feel when back into the apt:( Love & Hate -

An Undervalued Gem!
I bought a unit here 4 years ago and would like to offer my 2 cts: a) Excellent location - Bishan 8 is served by 2 major MRT lines (the North-South Line and the Circle Line). Its rear gate is just 60 m away from the overhead bridge linking to Junction 8 and Bishan MRT. In comparison, the next nearest condos (e.g. Rafflesia and Bishan Loft) are both more than 600 m walk from Bishan MRT. b) Nice surroundings - It has unblocked views of Raffles Institution and RJC on the South, landed properties on the West and North, and overlooking Junction-8 on the East. It is not near industrial or HDB thus giving it a very exclusive feeling. c) Improvement in Facilities - The condo was recently repainted. The tennis court has been repaved, and a new Multi-purpose court incorporating a FIBA standard basketball court, a futsal court (street soccer) and a badminton court has been added. d) Rental price – Due to its good location and nice ambience, the rental at Bishan 8 has kept above S$4k/month for the renovated and good facing units, even through the financial crisis in 2008-2009. At S$1.2m buying price, the yield is 4%. Rental yield may increase further when the full circle line opens. The condo is recommended for value-investors who are not convinced by new launch condos at S$1,200-1,400 psf level, but instead prefer value investment for good location. -

Great to have found this gem
If you do your property investment or owner-occupy check list and scores on Bishan 8, you will notice that this place has good-to-fantastic results: rental yield value, how many tenants are there, superb location (especially with 2 MRT lines), great amenities (Junction 8), good schools (Catholic High, Ai Tong), quiet and very family oriented environment. On relative value, benchmark the price against nearby condos (which is also limited supply) and especially new recent launches at Lorong Chuan and Serangoon. Again, good scores. Currently (Aug 2010), less than 3% is on sale (check other ratios nearby) and I think this is testimony to its value. -

Great Value
Not 1 but 2 MRT lines just across the road. Nicely maintained condo with good facilities for a not so crowded development. Good schools around and near amenities like shopping mall, library and cinemas. Great value for its location and rental yield. -
