Not so great
No balcony on most of the units so you won't get many expats willing to rent here. No bus stop, so you need a car. CDL spent too much on the land and not enough on the interiors. MCST will be very high for sure. Facilities look nice, but at the end of the day, do many people use them anyway??? Too expensive. -

Great place
Great development with 999 leasehold. Windy & good sized units. Near town, amenties, schools and universities. Even has a shuttle to Ayer Rajah and Clementi MRT. Clementi has a upcoming Shopping hub and aircon bus interchange coming in 2011. Good potential. -

nice development...overpriced
i cannot deny that Botannia is a nice development. But everything has its price and the prices from start to speculation has destroyed this development. Just like the other newer developments at the west....the prices will not hold and i can expect easily up to 20-30% slide in the next 2-3 years. rental will be very tough. Such a pity , a nice development like this is being priced out of its intended crowd. I say buy if 750-900psf (low-high floor). -

Good Potential 999 years
Definitely got potential to worth more that the current going rate of 900+ psf. This a NOT a 99 Leasehold property, It's 999 years!, just short of FreeHold. Some other 99years property in Jurong west already hit 800+ psf, vs this area is much near town and to NUS/One-north/Sentosa will definitely be worth more. Not counting the development yet, the instrinsic value is also already high! - the huge land site value the condo itself sits on can already worth more than $300-400+ psf... -

Botannia units are becoming speculative.
Botannia indeed is a nice development; but, not a to-die-for project at that. It is far from eateries, shopping malls, and public transport, with average interior and finishing (for e.g. homogeneous tiles for most units). Most importantly, a worth of 920 to 1000+psf now is definitely questionable. The government warns about a speculative bubble forming (source: http://www.938live.sg/News/Singapore/EDC091109-0000167/Speculative_bubble_in_property_market_a_risk_MAS); it would be most unfortunate if it does. Perhaps the owners are trying to make a kill now given the sudden increase in private property price; however, it is with such mentality that kills the property economy - as such, no real value is created. Just my two cents worth. Kess -

Quality Condo with long term potential
A spacious 280 sq feet for each person assuming 3 to a unit. The future potential lies in the development of the nearby waterways including the beautiful Pandan reservoir. And this is a 999-year property - only 12 storeys high. However, no sign of future MRT/LRT in the pipeline. But the business potential for someone to start a transport service for Monterey Park, Botannia, Infiniti, Carabelle is already there ... -

Different Condo
Great condo layout - feels like coming home to Hortpark everyday! Land is widely spaced. Not like living with 1000 of families in 1 condo devt. Different feel from other condos. Transport is not a problem as there are direct buses to town down the roads, and there will also be a feeder service to MRT coming soon when more families move in. -

Too isolated, too inconvenient
I had seriously considered buying one 4-bed unit at Botannia, went to the site several times, but became unconvinced. Although this 999-leasehold condo is relatively quiet, some units still get the AYE noise. The living room is relatively small, internal design and finishing are average. Most serious limitation of this condo is the lack of access to transport, shopping, outdoor activities, and other city-life facilities. It is very inconvenient without car. Given these problems, the average asking price has risen to far. In terms of any criterion or benchmark, a much better choice (even at a higher price) would be The Parc Condo. -
