Experts predict that a Punggol resale flat could fetch S$1 million flat within the next year or so

I went cycling around the punggol PCN loop recently. I have to say the developments flanking the "river" look very nice.

I am just guessing only but I think Punggol area appeals to a certain age group between 25 to 35. 

The average age in this forum should be at least 45 if not more. So maybe that is why most of us here cannot understand the appeal of Punggol. Maybe those few who live there can educate us on the charms of Punggol?

I am personally not a fan as it is far from city (if you drive and also far if you don't live near the NE line stations). And the flats there seem pretty packed near to each other. But I see the charms of the large expanse of empty land near Conney island, though I find the sea view there pretty unappetizing.

actually all the people complaining here probably never stepped into punggol. Honestly the air is the same as anywhere else in the north or rest of SG

There is some problems with the estate in terms of the connectivity to TPE (previously KPE).

But the number 1 problem with punggol is the RSAF fighter jets noise from paya lebar airbase. It is by far the worst thing about Punggol.

The estate otherwise is well planned out, punggol waterway and coney island etc all these places are great. Nothing else in sg comes close. 

The HDB density is bit high in punggol/SK cos they can build to 22 storeys and so each estate has more  units. Whereas sembawang, yishun are restricted to 13 floors due to seletar airport

mai so gek sim. 😅 before bishan became a housing estate, it was also a cemetery. I remember paying my respects to my grandparents buried there when I was a kid. But look at it now. One of the more popular housing estates to stay in. I think Bishan also has a few million dollar HDB transactions. Who know but maybe Punggol might also have one soon.

When I drove into Punggol for the 1st time, I exclaimed to my wife "Wah, the flats are so close together." Roads mostly only 2 lanes - 1 going straight and the other straight/turn right. Must be tedious driving there on weekdays peak hours, waiting for the traffic light.

 

yes it is bit tedious cos of the density and the number of traffic lights. but lol every plot of land fully utilised.

eventually all of SG will become liddat lah.

the waterway doesnt have a lot of mozzies. I seldom get bitten there. But near the coney island side yes.

Did a quick check and woah. 

How are HDB prices in the North East so high?

Even Sengkang has flats hoping to sell at $900K? Doesn't anyone read the news?
Are parents not worried about the air pollution from Pasir Gudung affecting their kids, like how the 70 students at the Sengkang school were affected by the air pollution just this year?

The air quality there not as bad as you mentioned lah. 

The school incident is likely within its surrounding compound.... 

If its due to chemical from Pasir Gudang, then hundred of thousands people from Punggol and Seng Kang would have complain.

does that floor area include the double height ceiling area like PC? Cos based on the photos i see online it doesnt seem like a 147sqm area.

EDIT: Nvm found the floor plan. So it's 120sqm + 2-3sqm for standard HDB ac ledge + 27sqm for the void area.

Yeah u r right. 

Actually the official interior square area is 111 sqm. 

It's nice, but maintaining high ceiling is really not an easy task. Plus the staircase...... a bit inconvenient.

i don't really like high ceilings since I'm also bit scared of heights if on the ladder. 

I don't like it when the fluorescent lights at my workplace die and they need to be changed.

This double height one, mlmlwml
