Real Estate Offers: Round 3

Foreigners are eligible to take up a 99-year tenure at Waterview in Tampines.

Waterview is located near the rapidly expanding Changi Business Park.

Here are a few more real estate offers that have been shoved into the Passengers' mailbox in the past few weeks.  Advertisers pay Singapore Post to have postmen distribute these flyers to mailboxes in a particular neighborhood or even throughout the island.  Again, none of these arrive with our address printed on them, and they show little knowledge of whether we are eligible to buy property in Singapore.  I decided to cull the pile of offers down to a trio located in the far east of Singapore near Changi Airport.

Flamingo Valley is about one MRT stop closer to Singapore's Central Business District (CBD) than Waterview.

Builders Frasers Centrepoint Homes advertises their use of the Japanese designer Miyake Masaki Associates.

The Passengers are not eligible to purchase within the Flamingo Valley development because we are not Singaporean citizens nor have we applied to become Permanent Residents, colloquial called PR. Only SCs and PRs are allowed to buy freehold properties or are eligible for the socialized flats built by the Housing Development Board (HDB).  Flamingo Valley is well placed near the enjoyable recreations of East Coast Park with its ocean views and trails for cyclists and skaters. There is also the delicious East Coast Lagoon Food Village.

Move your fabulous family-of-four to NV Residences.

NV Residences is on the other side of eastern Singapore, near Serangoon Harbour rather than East Coast Park. I don't have anything profound to say about its advertised facilities, but the models superimposed against an artist's impression of the impending development seem exceptionally fabulous.
