Maroon5 5th Gear November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 This one really true. Bad neighbours can make your life hell. I used to have one siao charbor neighbour. Whole floor cannot tahan her. Lucky she rents out her unit. Last time to a female PRC (nice neighbour) and now to a M'sian couple (ok lah, just that they don't seem to like cleaning their place). at least such nonsense u can complain to the mgmt...in hdb, call the spf?? haha.. anyw im now living in HDB but will aim to move condo...its not for me tho as i rather have money in pocket but for parents, at least let them in their lifetime live in a private estate..

Chongyong Neutral Newbie November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 Size-wise: New condos are SOOOOOOOOO small. What's the point of buying a more expensive home than your HDB and yet it is so much smaller? Facilities-wise: These are the facilities typically seen in ECs... 1. BBQ pit - Can go East cost park or book chalet for these pits <-- it's more convenient to have a BBQ pit downstairs..rather than lugging every single BBQ item to whatever park/chalet. Forget something, just go up and take.. 2. tennis court - if you dun play tennis then what's the point? <-- the tennis court at my condo is always fully utilised..so, quite alot of condo dwellers played tennis.. 3. swimming pool - Not enough swimming complexes izzit? Should join a country club membership if you want a not-many-people pool instead. Much more class. <-- country club membership are not cheap to come by either..and some may think, if i am going to spend so and so amount of money, might as well buy a condo, use it as an investment and can use the facilities somemore..and again, it's the problem with distance.. also why travel so far to go and have a swim when it's more convenient to just go downstairs to have a swim. My swimming pool gets cleaned up weekly, and with lesser people using, i am sure it's cleaner than public pool 4. steam room - Kills sperm. And country clubs should have much better steam rooms bah. Got jacuzzi if you want too. Or can go for spa treatments. Better. <-- most condo have jacuzzi too..and the killing sperm argument..seems like you're just trying to find some argument for the same of arguing.. 5. gym - Alot of places have gym already, in case you don't know. <-- you need to pay, either membership or pay-per-use 6. garden - Even HDB nowadays have such good landscaping... what's the point? <-- only the newer ones have..also, since HDB gardens are open to public, chances of public nuisance like "bengs/lians hanging around at parks smoking" is higher too 7. Near MRT, bus interchange, shopping malls - Like machiam HDB flats very far from these places like that. <--very much depends on location 8. playground - this one no need explain bah. <--same for both HDB and Condo.. yes, condo dwellers pay month maintenance for all the facilities..which also include parking(and when we wash car, we don't need to put in 20cents/use cashcard for limited amount of water)..so do HDB dwellers pay for season parking and conservancy charges.. i guess it boils down to privacy, peace and quiet ba..you don't get ah long harrasing you when your neighbours owe money, you don't get door-to-door salesman selling whatever nonsense to you..chances of cars being vandalised is lower.. I fully agreed with this. Personal experience.!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 i can agree to disagree... basically i have done enough comparisons and also I am only using an average level for each type of dweller. i know when i posted this there are bound to be people who disagree. on an average level, i still stand by my observation.

Acemundo Supercharged November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 (edited) nah, don't get me wrong. my hdb neighbours were also good... just that overall the impression builds up looking at the estate and community as a whole. admittedly it may not be a fair comparison because the difference in % of singaporeans living in HDB & Condo is quite disparate to make a meaningful satistical comparison. and even between different hdb estates, the difference is also there. so averaging is not always a very fair way to compare.
