Trellis VS Trevista
I am writing this not as an agent, but instead as someone who has stayed in Trevista and has recently decided to purchase a unit in Trellis Towers. Therefore, I must stress that it is in my own opinion only and I'm not trying to persuade anyone's decision!I bought Trevista as the first batch of buyers and held on until recently selling my 3 bedder for nearly 1420psf. My few peeves with the establishment:1) Bay Windows2) 99 year leaseholdThese are my main two peeves that irked me, however I do admit I like certain aspects of the unit, like accessibility to transport and food. After staying in an apartment that has bay windows, I do look forward to days of living WITHOUT the blasted bay windows. It made everything tough, renovation, space consideration... EVERYTHING!!! I must say I loved staying there as it was my first private housing that I have bought and of course it will bring me good memories!!Trellis towers after viewing the place, I immediately placed a 1% to book the place. Me and my wife loved it! Frankly speaking the unit was not original CDL, as the owners had renovated it just 5 years before. It has full length windows to the FLOOR, something that is not seen in Trevista except the hall where the sliding doors are. Space was a surprise in Trellis, those who have stayed in Bay Windows units will understand what I am trying to say. Surroundings in the Condo is I should say well kept, quiet, and it feels like you are not in Toa Payoh at all when you are sitting by the pool with all the palm trees around. However, amenities are a stones throw away if you need it. Groceries, MRT(underground), Park, amongst other amenities. I do say one of the most important aspect of me buying a unit back in Toa Payoh is because of my little girls' enrolment into CHIJ Primary the following year, for all those parents I'm quite sure you will understand what I mean.To conclude, apart from its age, I do not see it as investment, as it is freehold.
