We've been doing most of our home searching in Sengkang as I prefer the corridor and lift lobby conditions of a newer town compared to an older town like Kovan.
As of today, we've shortlisted 2 HDB units (they happen to have the same block number) in 2 different towns.
Kovan:
- 6 floor corner 5-room
- Well renovated, in move-in condition
- no great view, not windy
- MRT 15mins walk away
- near parents, additional $10K grant
- will take me more than 1 hr to get to work by public transport
- lower valuation (than a Sengkang 5-rm) but owner asking for $39K cash
Sengkang:
- 14 floor corner 4-room
- needs a lot of renovation
- great view, windy
- MRT 5mins walk away
- not very near parents, no additional $10K grant
- express bus to work just downstairs
- valuation not out yet
It's hard when you're not comparing apple to apple! Feel torn!
