I love landed; and will eventually stay in one when I reach 55.
14 more years to go..... now speculate to earn bullets.....
I've stayed in both landed and highrise. Both have pros and cons. When I retire, I'll go for highrise; small and compact for me and partner only (no kids), less cleaning, no need to climb staircase, with balcony overlooking greenery and nature for doing reading, sipping afternoon tea, and meditation (choose one where you can be assured your view will not be obstructed - ie. the area in front is already built with landed and/or there's a lake/sea - WaterEdge Apts fits that bill), amenities (gym, pool for exercise) and not forgetting better security (i know some will disagree), but think again, there's only one point of entry: main door - keep it bolted from inside and u're ok (house, there's front door, side door, back door, window x 10, ceiling etc etc) - I want to go to bed at night and not fear being awakened by intruders.
Very true. The cleaning part is the killer - people say they dont mind, its nothing ..but when they moved to landed, they started grumbling and feeling inconvenienced by the constant cleaning. Its ok if you stay at home often and have retired (light exercise is good for the elderly) but you are working and spend much of your time in office and outside, u just want to come back and relax and do your own private stuff instead of being "forced" to do the cleaning. You can hire maid or helper to do the cleaning for you but be prepared to pay - Msia govt is close to pushing out the min wage bill and not sure whether domestic helper is excluded, but nowadays domestic helper is no longer as cheaper as before. Even the "cheapest" indo domestic helper will see a big jump in wage.
If you are prepared to set aside your time for the cleaning, then staying in landed can be very comfortable.
Better road linkages, and thus less jammed?
are u sure? tebrau highway near to molek and ponderosa jams all the time sometimes can jam up til carefour the bridge....
10 to 15mins from molek to CIQ even via EDL during peak hour is total impossible due to the jam, molek full of traffic lights, plus molek exit to tebrau highway is jammed most of the time too....
yup, if there is option for landed, why stay pigeon hole like in lion city?
i think most lion city ppl had stayed in a pigeon too long, even apartment/condo to most of them are luxurious, not to say landed, so they haven't really get ready to move into a landed property which is almost something that may not even happened for most for life in lion city.
Cannot make up your mind? Buy both landed and condo side by side..... can sleep in either depending on mood. Still cheaper than 1 unit in Singapore!!!
location is not good.......
just booked NS. Any comments?
molek during weekend can considered a dead city.....
If can afford landed just get a maid. Problem solved.
I realise it can b quite difficult to shop as the shops r v dispersed n open to weather...in e end I din buy there. It was rather quiet when i dropped by e area accidentally on my way to Tebrau this Fri afternoon.
Wah, wolverine, u sure have lots of bullets ya.
Positive comments sure there is.
Btw how much u paid for it? Corner or intermediate?
Congrats for owning two properties at one GO.
no matter how will be still better as compare to 1st link......compare 1st link already jam, vested for property near 2nd link, you have the choice to use both 1st and 2nd link as compare to property only near to 1st link (which already congested very jialat). at least 2nd link is not jam yet. you still have much more time to enjoy smoother traffic...
location is not bad, but near to high voltage cables which is a big turn off and surrounding environment a bit messy........
Compared to Sutera & Austin, Molek's jam is small case lah. 10-15 mins to CIQ definately doable during off peaks. I have done it countless times on weekends at normal speed, ever since the EDL is up.
At peak periods, the jam is really from Tebrau to EDL Pandan exit, so its not a long stretch. They also planning to upgrade the Pandan bridge bottleneck. The actual EDL travel is quite ok leh.......As for roads, many roads lead to Molek compared to Austin & Sutera, say from a) Ponderosa exit, b) Pekin Johor Jaya, c) Pasir Gudang, d) Johor Jaya market....
Lastly, from CIQ to the new development, Molek Haven, there's only 2 traffic lights to pass for the entire journey.
