It is a good condo, anyway
I read some comments made by potential buyers and residents of Parkview before writing my comment. I stay in this condo since its TOP. My unit has a direct pool view. Many think this condo is noisy because of traffic noise, children shout and scream at pool side. It is common sense that those units are facing road are noisy and their selling prices are lower compared to those face inside. Children shout and scream is normal as they enjoy playing around the condo. In other words, it is a good condo for kids and families as they can mix with their neighbours. If those said pool facing units are noisy, think they never have a chance to sleep over night in such facing units. From 11 pm onwards, 90% of lights are off and residents can't gather in group. It is very quiet through out the night. For those do not turn on air-con to sleep, I guarantee you can sleep well through out the night. For the maintenance, you have to excuse it as it is a 15 years old condo and you can't compare it with those new developments. As far as I know, it is about to paint the building. After painting, it will look good. In late 2013, the Management provided a one time free termites inspection for all units. Those infected units were given a free pest control treatment. Traffic is convenient especially if you drive. A yellow box is in front of the condo and just make a right turn you can go into either PIE or AYE in a minute. The bus stop of direct buses to town and express bus to the East just less than 30 seconds walk. I think the condo location is fantastic even better than those developments next to the MRT as MRT can not take you to the door step of your office but buses may be able to.For a 2-bedder and 3-bedder only cost you less than S$950K with a generous sizes of 980 sqft and 1119 sqft respectively, it is really a good deal. Life is short, why you have to make yourself miserable to pay at least 20% to 30% premium for a freehold. Why not to pay less to the bank every month? -

termite infested
Only after shifting in do we know this problem arise. Management has just issue a mailer where they are doing checks on all units for termites. Consider thrice before throwing in your cheque although it probably has the lowest psf in bt batok area. Many units here are facing termites issue. -

Peaceful Place
I have lived here coming to 5 years. Very safe environment and good neighbors. My facing is North so not so much sun and no car noise and no common area noise. I believe these noises are common in all condo so do not buy any unit facing common area, game pitches and even swimming pool. Get a higher floor is a safe bet. I give a credit to the management as every year we are given at least 1 month rebate and progressive upgrading is being carried out as well. Coming project is a new front gate and security post which definately will give a facelift to the current image of parkview. -

Noisy
Have been living here for a year as a tenant, pool view. Super noisy!! The noise from the school announcement is just a piece of cake. The noise created from the residences is much more annoying. Shouting, screaming, crying, honestly everyday, from kids playing, which most people bear with it because you can't blame the kids. Annoying noise from adults, having parties at the BBQ and pool area, drinking, talking and shouting at each other for fun out loud non-stop till wee hours. Not everyday, but very often. Students at home want to study but must "tahan" the noise. If any buyer really wants to buy a unit at parkview apt, better avoid "pool view" my sincere advice. Another thing that is unreasonable here is, you pay for condo management every month, but when you want to use condo facilities, you must also pay, for example, BBQ pit $30 with $100 deposit. It's insane in my personal opinion. -

The Real Story
Hi All. I have been living in Parkview Apartments since day one. Here's the real story. During construction of the Condo, the construction company that Far East engaged ran into trouble with the construction budget. Work on the condo stopped for a few months. Afterwhich, Far East re-tendered the project and each tower had a different construction company working on it. Therefore, today, you will find numerous defects around the condo. However, the current management is trying their best to fix up all the defects, pipe burstage and power outages. The units in twr 2 & 3 facing the greenary are the best. All other units will be facing the school, pool, tennis courts and bbq pits which are very noisy. I bought my 1119sq ft unit during the 1990s launch period for 750K+. Thus in today's market, I can safely say 700-850K for a 1119-1200 sq ft unit is a great deal. Paying above 900K will be a definately NO as the property is leasehold and is aging pretty fast. Coupled with all the defacts from day one, the sinking fund will be depleted in no time. -

Nice and windy...and worth
I bought my unit in 2007,-its a nice unit where it away from the tennis court, BBQ PIT, main road or the school. I have magnificent view of the sky from both my living room and “super size” master-room. It’s very windy most of the day. It takes me 10mins to reach Clementi or Batik Batok MRT by bus. I can do my shopping at IMM , new clementi mall, or the west mall. In additional, there is a nearby wet market for my weekend needs.(walking distance)and there is a newly renovated Kopi thiam which going to operates on 24/7 behind our Project.( 5 mins walk). Any car lover can drop to Autobacs which located just 5mins drives. The project managed has input a lot of efforts to make the project changes like recently they had a new tennis court flooring changed, create new mini soccer court, changed all the pools tables and chairs. They have also improved the garden with new plants which makes the place more greenery and nice.-its gives a tropic feeling whenever at the pool. If parents looking primary school, KEMING is just nearby. if not, Nan Hua will be 10mins drive away. Its definitely worth my money to buy this unit at this project. -

Finally...
I finally found a wonderful place for my family. After searching around Singapore for more than a year, we stumbled upon Parkview. The reasonable psf as compared to the other Condos around the vicinity was what really made us purchase a unit at Parkview. We got a unit on a high floor to enjoy the breeze and beautiful greenary. -
