Quiet Place
Hardly can find pool facing for every unit project. Most importantly Micasa do not have basement parking. Minimal reno as units only 5 years. Family with kids will enjoy the pool and big playground. Nowadays, not many projects have a 1500sq ft 4 bed room. -

The Quintet - a quiet retreat in the CCK
This Quintet EC is very near to the YT MRT station and the short walk is well covered by shelters. There are public buses nearby that are only a few mins walk away. The condo is served by two entrances with auto gate that by itself is a rare thing for an EC or any private condo. The facilities are standard but the outstanding one will be the full basketball court. The parking comes in the form of basement and multi stories. The security features are tightly controlled and without a pass card you can hardly get into the block lobbies. The condo is only 5 years old and still well maintained. The removal of KTM rails have proven to be massive bonus to the residents here as the loud rail noises are absent and the place is now really quiet and peaceful. The windy nature of the location makes this condo a pleasant environment to live in. Comparing to the Rainforest EC that is selling like hotcakes at $720psf. I would say Quintet is a steal some selling at below $900K. The Quintet is near to the Green Corridor with potential for leisure development. The ample nearby amenities and the lack of camps, mosques and temples usually associated with jammed traffic, burnings and abundant noises can heavily discount the value of the property. In the case of rainforest EC, it is so near the mosque and Stagmont camp where high-powered communication devices are installed over there. Would it affect your health? It is also situated at the busiest road in Choa Chu Kang and making road noises at unbearable levels. The empty plot next to Rain EC is also likely to be sold for development in the near future. The good thing is that it is near MRT and Lot1 but that's about it. What Rain EC will never possessed as compared to Quintet, the peace and quiet that has made this my new HOME. Not to mention, the maintenance fees are also way lower than the Rainforest EC. -

Good Environment but....
We have been eyeing to purchase The Quintet but everytime we visit for viewing always heard a dog non-stop barking for hours. We prefer quiet environment so we will reconsider our choice. -

Quiet and good location
I am Planning to get a condo in Cck area, currently eyeing a unit in the quintet due to it's good potential. A walk from the mrt & ntuc, it's very near and also mostly sheltered via the design n built hdb blocks...as for those who drive, access is easy due to "private" road also 2 car entrances (st 64 & north 7)..compares to the condo near to lot 1 which I am also considering, the yew tee mall is less happening but in exchange of serene surrounding. Land is on a slope means some stairs but that's perfect for wonderful landscaping that you won't feel bored of it over times (I like the water fall and jacuzzi situated among rocks).. Few km PCN at the back gate is perfect for my wife who jogs. Overall the estate is well maintained and doesn't look worn (like paint work and structures).. Yew tee primary is also 1 of the top around Cck , seems great for my younger boy. I found that the design of the blocks is modern, that means it won't look dated over times. I also like the children play pool w slides, Huge and interesting playground that will makes my kids happy. In a nutshell, it makes a great home..quiet, fun, accessible, only 5 yrs.. Only complains will be smaller shopping mall without library n cinemas. -

Family Home
Positives: Possible to get a good-sized apartment for own stay with family. Compared with DBSS units, this is more worth it because of the condo status. Love the toilets! Love the range of facilities available. Negatives: Erm.....Where is this place again? Near where? Near what famous school? Near what mall? -

My analysis after 2 house viewings
Last Nov enquired about quintet as its 1km to a SAP sch. But was told that 5yr MOP is 2011. Last Wed i visited 2 middle units as agent sms me quintet can be sold in late Oct 2011. Generally this development rather peaceful, and it quite new compared to nearby >10yrs old condos. Most 3bedders ask for $950k onwards (depending on what sizes of 3bedder units), i find it reasonable cos it only 5yrs old, and nearby 1998's hdb maisonette @638/4 CCK St 64 were sold for $810K in Oct2010. My priorities in house search incl. Good School + Quite New + Spacious + Amenities + Worthy Price + Less than 500m to MRT. House hunting these days are not easy - the newer private and public projects have been very much smaller yet asking 1.2 million for a 2bedder condo. So far, quintet matches most of my wish lists. Next week I'll go for 2nd viewing as i'm keen to view corner units from unblocked stack. Cos i prefer my in-law has spacious kitchen who take care our family's meals. Actually I find the below comments weird. I'd wary if my agent behaved like his who fed me with questionable remarks, cos i regard such agent has integrity issues. Actually I am dumbfounded by the remark on accidents and sun. I saw many young families ard the compound, some children were with their maids only. Thus, how bad can that be? As some will like the sun, some will not. I have no issues with the sun cos i believe a house needs natural sunlight for fengshui needs. Natural sun also elminate odour & bacteria, esp bedroom & kitchen. Quick laundry drying instead using dryer. No need to overreact abt sun which give many good benefits. If prefer less sun, curtains or blinds will come in handy. I speak fr exp as my in-law's yishun house faces direct sun and it last 2~max 3hr in that particular hse area. I'm into FengShui but I'd also consulted religious person as i've religious requirements for hse layout. Quintet's FS is ok for us.Hse hunting is emotional task. If U arent into FS do u feel calm when hse viewing? -

Consider Undervalue Projects Like Woodsvale
The Woodsvale, situated in Admiralty vicinity, is within walking distance of Admiralty MRT. Huge potential surrounds future Woodlands area, like the North-South Expressway and Thomson MRT Line which links Woodlands. From investment point, there's a huge industrial area which is a short distance away from Admiralty MRT, which can easily provide for a good pool of tenants for Woodsvale. As for the development itself:- 1) Woodsvale units are more regular shaped 2) Woodsvale lifts are more luxurious looking 3) Woodsvale car parks cleaner 4) Woodsvale has separate lane for residents and visitors driving into the development, thus residents will not be held back or delayed by visitors entering the development (security guards need time to note down visitors particulars). 5) Woodsvale maintenance fees seems lower. -

The Quintet
I have viewed "The Quintet" to buy and live there. This is what I have found. 1. The whole project area is not very big. The blocks are very close to each other. 2. The pool is a good size and the shape is also nice. The down side is there is not much space between the block and the pool. I would love to see a beatiful landscape between the pool and the block. 3. It is build on a slope of land. You have to climb one two or a few flight of stairs to move around the condo. 4. Now that the train service has been halted, the condo becomes very quiet and a lovely place to live. 5. However, the area Yew Tee is yet to develop compared to CCK, the other side of KJE. You have to think twice before you buy. 6. Since the long waited 5 yrs is completing in Oct 2011, The owners are eying for the high end prices, but I think, the final prices would be around 700 per sq ft would sound reasonable for this project (for now). -

Great Environment
Went to view one of the units. Spacious and bright. Easy for interior design. Facing of unit is good (NS facing). Pools are big and other adequate facilities too. Residents are mostly young executives, hence vibrant environment. People seem to be doing well with many luxury cars. Fengshui master tagged along and had also indicated that one of the blocks has excellent fengshui. Negotiating price with owner, hoping to own a unit there soon! -

Average EC
Very cramp environment and very dark at nite time because of the limited lighting. Consider over price as a executive condo located in Yew Tee area which is not really well developed. -
