Sengkang or Punggol better?

[flubberina13]

Hey...any comments?

And what's the biggest floor area of a flat?

[marinebetta]

I thought you're shifting to a house so you can have your BIG tank?

[flubberina13]

Tot I told you that hubby may be going the 'three years here three years there' type of job so only when we really settle down then think about it...

Meanwhile, big tank got to keep dreaming...

sengkang flat have a small area

[IanJ]

No expert on this but it seems that modern HDB flats have very similar floor areas. About 90-95 sqm for 4 room/4room premium to 110sqm for 5 room and maybe as big as 130/135sqm for executive.

miss my old home it almost the same size as the new home

me need for feedback for both too ehhehee.....will be gettin 3rd quart tis yr.....so all punggol n sengkang reefer pls debate.....

intend to get punggol exec esp the blk facing TPE....but the masterbdrm....makes me tinkin twice....

Nowadays, new flats have the standard floor area. 4rms is 80-95sqm, 5rms is 105-115sqm and EA is 125-135sqm. If you one the biggest, I think Sengkang still have some EA available. As for empty EA in Punggol, they are meant for Malay, Indian and Other races, no more vacancy for Chinese.

maybe i can give u some advice

4 room flat = 92m2 to 95m2

5 room flat = 114m2 to 126m2

transport

punggol= least transportaion , near to highway better to have own transport

sengkang= lots of traffic light, transportation a little better than punggol

sengkang west= near to cte and pie much better traffic

food

punggol= pple there tend to go to sengkang to find food

sengkang= okie still better to have own transport

sengkang west= pple tend to go to yio chu kang or serangoon for makan

Hi all,

I move into a 5 room HDB Buangkok Crescent 6 months ago which is relatively near to Seng Kang, Punggol and Hougang.

The reason why I chose here over SengKang and Punggol is that it is near to AMK and CTE as compared to Punggol or SengKang.

Floor area is almost the same now and you will pay much more for a 5room and executive. If you calculate the price based on per sq metre, 4 room will look much more attractive.

I kind of regret going for 5rm given that the flat is only occupied by me and my wife.

Cost of flat in Seng Kang and Punggol is about the same but you have to pay a 10% premium if you live in Buangok Crescent.

SengKang looks to be the most convenient in terms of public transport and makan places as compared to Punggol or Buangkok.

Flat options however is very limited now in SengKang and possibly Buangkok. So if you are particular about unit and where it face etc, Punggol might be the only option left.

It is a big investment so think wiseful before you commit.

Hope this helps.

Sengkang got more chiobu...but I don't think that applies here.

[Weapon_Master]

Y? BWilly a lecher? Or does he just pay significantly more attention to pretty woman?

[alanseah]

well for Punggol i know that side dont have scv cable...

which what my aunt complain about.. got money also cant get scv to watch or surf net using cable...

I dont know it apply to all the Punggol area or not..

me now living in sengkang.. so far so gd.. dont find any problem.. going to west e.g. cliemeti just take train or bus 156 will reach in 45min... or go horbour front even faster 30 to 40 min...

bus quite alot there for sengkeng.. and with north east line it alot more easier.. only thing is that if you want to go to east side e.g. ubi very far even sengkeng at north east side..

from sengkeng go TP or paris very easy.. next time want to go airport also very fast...

[Weapon_Master]

Bro,

By lecher I dont actually mean anything. I believe most if not all man are lechers. It is just how to what level.

I was a lecher as well before I got married, After I got married I simply admire and keep my hands and mouth off. Gone are the hunting days. Lost my antena now so no radar signal.

Apologies of my wording. I am here to make friends and dont want any enemies.

Just a joke and hope that all will take it in good stride.

[alanseah]

well ppls it's ok.. man wa.. we all understand...

anyway we are

Dont think it's just more attention. how bout all attention?? ke ke ke....

I live in sengkang also. 5rm. Floor area is 116m2. jus 5min walk or 1 bus stop or 1 LRT stop from Compassvale/NEL/interchange. Punggol think it will depends. cos the layout of the town is a little wierd. The interchange is located in the middle of no where at the extreme end of the town. so walking there is out of the question since there is no flat near the interchange.

Not sure what it will be like in the future. But there could be very far away coz they already slowed down the building of flats there drastically.

Public transportation is a problem as very few buses, LRT not running and the MRT is at the interchange. So you can find lotsa puggol people in sengkang switching buses, shopping and finding food. There are 2 places to eat in punggol that I know of, a 24hr kopitiam and a food court beside HDB flats. a eco-minimaket and some shop.

For sengkang, most of the infrastructure is already there. got 2 malls, 1 HDB shopping centre, a wetmarket, 4-5 foodcourts, 4-5 kopitiam.

Public transport is better in sengkang now. But if you drive then that wont be a prob as both would be ok liaoz.

[alanseah]

wow your floor area 116...

mine only 110.. nvm 6 diff cant even see anything..

[Tanggy]

6m2 is enough to put three 6x3x3ft tank liaoz!! ke ke ke......

[alanseah]

what to do...

since your one is 116 then I think yours is the gov design flat right..

mine is the design and build flat...

[Tanggy]

Mine bigger cos I have been living in sengkang for 6 yrs liaoz!! can sell liaoz....

[alanseah]

orrr then i know roughly where u stay already..

u r the one at rivervale side one...

cause only rivervale side flat is more then 5 yrs..

[Weapon_Master]

Woh 116 Sqm. Mine only 110 as well in Buangkok. Payed approx 20K more as compared to the ones in Seng Kang.

Didnt have many choices left in Seng Kang when it was my turn to choose so I opted elsewhere which is nearer to CTE.

For me it is important to find place where you will be able to get daily neccesity easily. Otherwise it will be a chore even if you have your personal transportation.

For me, shop and save and some other shops and coffee shop is within 2mins walk.

Cleaning of the house might be another concern if you dont have a maid. My wife prefers more privacy so we dont have one and end up having to do everything ourselves during the weekend.

[alanseah]

lolz..

lucky for me that time I choose my flat i dont even really know compass point, interchange and train station just <10min walk from my flat..

also my flat is facing a big empty grass land.. got nothing to block.. better..
