Jarene’s Comments:
- This will be the first time I said this about Far East developments. But for the first time, the layout of their units is very squarish and practical, with non of the whimsical designs that they always seem to come up with (you can check out Watertown to know what I mean). The layout may be boring, but it works for everyone.
- Rental potential: Chances of it being rented out easily is high due to its location.
- Ease of Sale: There are not many condominiums in Ang Mo Kio that has such excellent amenities. Also, it is very attractive to stay so close to Ang Mo Kio Hub. Those who have been staying in Ang Mo Kio tend to prefer to reside within Ang Mo Kio. Hence, there will definitely be a pool of buyers for this development.
