The Calrose
Though it is going to be near a future MRT. I don't think this is a good location condo to invest for rental or reasonable investment gains. No immediate amenities available nearby, anything must go to AMK Town Ctre or Ave 4 amk a small and quiet area. Just look around, there are so many condo's coming up nearby MRT all around the island and many are near to city and places of work. The current rental will not sustain, when supply hits the mkt in the next two years time. For those living and working in City or going to Orchard it is not really nearby. What more about going to NUS or NUH or Tampines? The price for the return returns or even for staying is high in my opinion..2019 is still a long way, to talk about MRT. A tenant will prefer something nearer to work and not so far away from city, unless very low budget. It can be warm on a hot day, as it is full of glass in design. -

A Normal and Common Condomium
Condo is full of glass, so on a hot day, u experience green house effect. Interior furnishings so-so only. U have to hire a designer to renovate the place if u want to make it look cosy. Yup, price is expensive. If u mind the steepness in price, better to buy somewhere else. about 15 to 20 mins walk to YCK MRT station. -

Unreal Sellers Asking for Unreal Prices
This property is overpriced and prices to certain extent fixed. May owners and agents are claiming the attractiveness of the MRT but potential buyers don't be fooled. To enjoy the MRT you have to put up with safety, inconvenience and noises for almost 10 years. 3mins drive down the road you will also experience the construction of the new NS highway. Think twice. The property will be already about 20 years. The units are overhyped. Let me give you an analysis : 1. 60-70% of pool facing units are facing the afternoon sun. Some are facing the main road where you will see heavy constructions. 2. majority morning sun units are facing the pool or facing the private estate. There are chances that those units may encounter private houses building few storeys up. You may see lightning strikes as well. 3. Not all units are within 1Km of 'popular' schools 4. Units near the HDB flat will encounter loud celebration during certain times of the year as basketball court is a popular hosting ground 5. Units near Far Horizon will also lose its privacy as the entrance of the MRT is going to be there. Prices there are high because few agents have a few units there. There are better alternatives if you don't need that location. No need to be sore about it Barry. -

Hidden Gem
Regretfully I did not buy a unit before it is confirm the Thomson Line will be built. Prices have shot up again! Now I really can't afford this gem, a free-hold property build by MCL! I can't blame the owners for wanting even more now. Afterall, the Lentor Station is at Door Steps. The new MRT Line and Lentor Station is fully underground so construction should have minimal impact to The Calrose's environment, just like I didn't find much inconvenience when they build the Circle Line at my old condo. i shall wait for the market to cool before I jump in on this one. I wonder how high the monthly maintenance is seeing the condo has seven large pools though! -

Surrounded by too many HDB
Viewed several units but did not buy any unit at all. We almost wanted a Duplex unit but the roof top terrace is within sight from the taller HDB so it is not very private at all. What attracts us: 1. Upcoming MRT (2017? 2019?) 2. Fresh Air 3. Freehold status What pushes us off: 1. Surrounded by too many HDB as it is a low rise condo. 2. Current PSF too expensive for a non-prime district ; money better spent on a smaller D10 condo. 3. Upcoming MRT construction will be VERY dusty, VERY noisy, roads might be diverted. But for those really interested, you should buy it only 1 to 2 years before MRT opens. For the next few years, the Calrose should be terribly dusty to live in. 4. Recommends for family & VERY long term investment. Happy house hunting again ~ sigh ~ -

Good neighbourhood & Big Piece of Land
Very green neighbourhood. Understand that an MRT station will be built just behind the development. Large units. Very suited for family. Freehold status is an asset. -

Great place for family
The Calrose was developed by MCL land which is one of the best developer in Singapore. the resort living & children friendly environment is such suitable for family. And also it's very convenience to center, french school, popular primary schools etc. Wet Market is just nearby. We simply love to stay here. -

Not so rosy
MRT is all hyped up - even if there is, it is still a long long walk. Apart from freehold status, nothing much to shout about - 5 storeys high means the land is mostly occupied by the buildings. I won't stay here for convenience - driving is a must. Queuing along road to get into carpark is also a turn-off. -

So so Condo
Too expensive. Not really worth it. Transport not really convenient unless you drive. Not really near amenities too. The future MRT ? What line is it? Thomson line is still so far away. Anyway Thomson line map is not even out yet There are better ones in the East and FH - , new MRT is actually at east area - changi business park -

Duplexes
Was interested in the duplexes. Found it too pricy as the seller includes the roof terrence when calculating the psf price while 99% of the time its unused. This is esp so for the 2185sqft 2 rooms duplex (only got 2 rooms in 2185sqft!!); rather get a 3 rooms 1400+ sqft unit with a lower price. Decided to look for something near city with the duplex price tag. No question ask, this is a beautiful project. -
