Hello Forumers,
I am posting this thread to gather some feedback on Punggol. As many of you have known, it is a very new and vibrant town. Lots of water theame, horse riding etc. From the recent news, the newly launched water town has seen robust take up rate. HDB flats there are not cheap as well. My friend recently got a unit via BTO for $420K (5room). Im not sure if this is the norm price for this area, but I feel it is on the high side. Moreover, the private condo are seling approximately $1000 - $1500 per/sq ft. Higher than some other mature area and it is only 99 years leasehold!
May i ask what is so good about punggol that out of sudden, people are attracted to the area? Water theame or beautiful beaches? Looking from another angle, isnt Pasir Ris offer as much as Punggol with beaches, greenary etc making it a nice place to live in?
I also noticed that prices for Punggol are getting higher than mature estate like Jurong, Bt.Batok, Pasir Ris or even bedok!! Been there a few times and personally i dont find the waterway any attractive.
I know there are alot of Punggol fans out there, please help me understand what I have been missing as I have been living over at West for all my life.
Cheers~~
