Really old condo
this building is so old, and it shows. there's only a pool that's worth talking about, while the gym is tiny and the function room is just a room. the one and only BBQ pit is not even properly sheltered for a party gathering. worst of all, the management is rude as can be, and there's only parking for ONE car in one specific lot, and not all lots are sheltered. for a condo, this is as basic as it can get. I guess back in the 80s, this was impressive, but now it's just overpriced and sorely lacking compared to its newer neighbouring counterparts. the only good thing about this place is that it is next to a 24/7 fairprice finest. the nearest MRT is a 10-minute walk away.Was this review helpful?

Old leasehod units, facilities outdated.
Had recently looking for this old estates. Was thinking near to Market, eating place.... To my dismay, the sellers asking price was un reasonable for a 42yrs old lease old properties(look ok from outside), but facilities and development is quite run down. Reception area water feature spoils and not in use. As Dust collecting point. And bridge connectors between 2 blocks are so old and wondering is it still safe to use(wood base)... Plus recent next door Bukit Timah plaza shopping centre having flood inside the mall, wondering if this kind of 42yrs old developments has any water seepage. Most headache part is this water seepage for old development, upstairs-downstairs toilet leakage.Was this review helpful? Report review -

If one look beyond its tired and dated farcad
If one look beyond its tired and dated farcade, it is quite a gem given its convenience to an established shopping complex, MRT station, unblocked views and potential for enbloc.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Accessible and convenient
Sherwood Towers is an extremely convenient place with AYE, PIE and BKE just along the main road. There are many buses that go to the town Centres in the west and the east and downtown as well. Beauty World MRT station is about 5 min walk away with sheltered walkway that is under construction. There is NTUC downstairs that opens 24h, so you do not need to fight with other shoppers but you can shop at your own leisure at 10pm at night. Attitude Dance studio, newly opened Fitness centre with full Gym and plenty of Adult fitness classes. Art Centres, tuition Centres, eateries, salons and pharmacies! This is just the place for family with children and elderly! Go for high floors facing the greenery and wake to a beautiful sunrise Everyday. True that it can be noisy due to the busy roads, but I think it is compensated by the big spacious bedrooms and living room.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Value for Money
Renting a unit here. Some units here are really old but some are renovated by the new owners and fairly decent. Just repainted with upgraded pool and brand new gym. Great view of Bukit Timah hill though can be noisy at times. Fairprice finest just below so pretty convenient.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Old apartment
The location is supposed to be quite central in Bukit Timah area but it is not really close to any good primary schools, so it is not popular with parents with kids. The old building looks like it badly needs repainting or refurbishing so it will be surprising if anyone considers this even attractive. Old properties are only attractive if they are big in size, but the units on sale here are small. Rental yields here are naturally poor.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Pay only Land Value
Accessible location, shopping convenience, public transport and future MRT station closeby, Sherwood Towers offer excellent value for money both as occupier and as rental property. At average of $700 psf, buyers are only paying for land value with living space and amenities thrown in for free (or fully depreciated in accounting terms). Compare with URA caveats of other developments to understand.Was this review helpful? Report review -

An Undervalued Find!
I bought a unit here 2 years ago and would like to share my two cents' worth: 1. Excellent location. Sherwood Towers is just within Bukit Timah Plaza. I get almost all of my family's daily shopping needs and food without having to drive out or leave the area. It also happens to be within walking distance to 2 future MRT stations. 2. Facility improvements. Recently, a new gym was added, the swimming pool re-tiled, a brand new karaoke room installed, and a new function room built. This month, the building will be repainted, for a timely makeover. 3. Nice surroundings. On the higher floors, it has unblocked views of Bukit Timah Hill on one side, and city views on the other. It does get noisy sometimes, and I strongly recommend sound-proofing the windows as a solution. 4. Rental yield. Due to its good location, rental has been around 3.5k, and at a buying price of S$1.1m, the yield is 3.8%. Rental yield may increase further when the new MRT line opens. This condo is strongly recommended for investors looking for value buys at a good location, with great savings over the higher psf prices of the surrounding condos.Was this review helpful?
