Units Of The Week Issue #57

While I can't say that this property is located that closeby to the One-North area (it is separated by the massive estate that is the NUS), one selling point of this space is the proximity to West Coast Park - it's practically right opposite.

Completed in 2016, this freehold project consists of just 148 units. It's a good size for those looking for a little more privacy, yet not too small that facilities would be completely lacking either.

This is a ground-floor patio unit that comes with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms at a size of 1,076 square feet. It's definitely on the big side as compared to today's standards so some may find the overall quantum not too appealing.

It is ultimately more of a lifestyle choice, greenery views and a high ceiling do go some way into making it feel quite quaint. The finishings of the place is nice too, elegant yet stylish.

The Trilinq is a relatively new condo in the Clementi area, having only TOP-ed in 2017. It's leasehold (as you might expect) and it contains 755 units.

This is a 3 bedroom plus study unit that comes in at 1,044 square feet. It's on a middle floor, but due to its facing and current vicinity, you do get unblocked views - although I wouldn't necessarily say it is the most picturesque.

The furnishings of the unit is kept quite simple, but I wouldn't say that is the main selling point of it. It's really about the location, as it is quite a short walk to Clementi Mall and MRT station. It is quite a bustling neighbourhood joint - not the most fancy of malls - but you do get quite a lot of food and shopping areas there.

For those looking at the upcoming One-North Eden, this would probably be one of the closest competitors - given that it is located right beside it. While the psf would be comparatively a lot lower, you might find that the final quantum isn’t really to be trifled with as this 1 bedroom itself comes in at $1.59 million. Granted, this one here is at a sizeable 1,141 square feet, so size wise it really can’t be directly compared.

Built in 2009, this is a leasehold condo with 405 units. This unit itself is a loft one - so you can enjoy high ceilings in the living but do take note this is really counted in your overall floor area as well.

Some people might say that this block is on the wrong side of Clementi (getting to Clementi MRT isn’t the easiest of tasks) - but you do have Ayer Rajah Food Centre in close walking distance and Clementi Stadium just opposite as well for some daily exercise.

This is quite an old block, as its lease commencement year begins from 1978, but on the inside it is anything but. This 3-room HDB flat comes in at 721 square feet - which is not bad for a 2 bedroom unit. Where it stands out is really the interior design. It’s not for everyone (especially the minimalist), but I think most people would be quite attracted to it.

This is a freehold development with just 63 units. So yes, one of its key selling points would be its exclusivity and it does have surprisingly quite reasonable maintenance for its number of units.

It’s exterior isn’t the most modern looking by any means, but its interior was done just 4 years ago so it still looks tasteful and well done. At 893 square feet for a 2 bedroom unit, it is considered relatively big by today’s standards. There’s even a yard space (convenient) and a small balcony so interior space is quite maximised.
