Anyone got any experience in staying in cluster housing. Those that you get a decent (abit cramp) semi detached house with all the anemities of condo around you and security guard. There is this one at palm grove regency i thought the environment is quite decent for a second property investment cum staying. I feel its good location near kovan and serangoon garden. Any views?

Dear bros, being the super kiasu Singaporean & parent, I am already planning for my 3 yr old son's primary sch education. In order for my son to enter this sch call De Laselle school located at Choa Chu Kang, I'm thinking of moving there. Do any bros stay in the above as I'm trying to get some opinions on which one is better. FYI, I just went to take a look at Northvale, no offence to anyone staying there, but the place's condition in my opinion is quite bad so we have excluded it. For Yew Tee Residences, the TOP is quite far away, so probably I will need to look at the above 2 options. Appreciate your opinions, thks.
