ASIAHOMES' 2000 HOUSE-HUNTING REPORT FOR HISTORICAL RECORDS ONLY
January 28 2000

House hunting with an American lady who wanted to live near the American Club and who was worried that the air conditioners (individual units) would be noisy as experienced in the Chestnut Drive house she was residing.

3pm  Habitat II
3+1 2600 sq. ft  x 2 units seen. duplexes
building with big balcony.

1.    #..-02   $8,500.  New kitchen with stainless steel hobs, hood, sink and renovated bathrooms with white bath-tubs. Above 5th floor. 

Private lift lobby. High windows and big balconies in the living area. 3 bedrooms upstairs.

2.   #...-02  $5,500.  Same layout as above. Original condition but value for money.  Above 4th floor. 

3.30pm
The Draycott  3+1 2650 sq. ft  $8500. 
#16-02.  Fully carpeted.  Central circular family area filled.  Panoramic city view.

Breezy, bright.  Renovated. 
"-02" unit faces the Stevens Road, but at 16th floor, the noise level is low if windows are closed.  There are no balconies in The Draycott unlike Habitat I and II.

4pm  Habitat I
#...-03
3+1  3200 sq. ft  $9,000. Above 10th floor. 

January 29, 2000

11am 
2nd viewing of The Draycott unit with husband.

The Draycott #24-03
  3+1 2650 sq.ft   $10,500.
The "-03" units are the best located units, no road facing and no blocked views.   There are 3 apartments per floor level. 

Conclusion: 
Update as at May 2001.

The condos near the American Club are hot and owners have no problem finding a Tenant as the economy has recovered and more expats have arrived in Singapore.  Renovated units get rented out fast despite the lack of views in this built up area. The older barely renovated Claymore 4-bedroom of 3,300 sq. ft rents around $15,000.

COMPETITORS
The brand new 4+1 2900 sq. ft  Ardmore Park available in May/June 2001 rents from $13,000 - $20,000.

UPDATE IN 2011
Rentals of The Draycott 4-bedroom are competitively priced at around $15,000.

The Draycott penthouse is available at $20,000 as at March 9, 2011.

E-mail judy@asiahomes.com or tel +65 9668-6468 if you wish to rent any of the units (except for Habitat I and II) which had been demolished and are replaced by brand new condos

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Habitat I & II had been demolished and is no more in 2011. Big balconies off the living and dining areas very much favoured by Canadians and other Caucasian expats.
Maisonettes were in great demand by Caucasian expatriates. Huge balconies and renting around $8,000 as most units were not renovated as owners waited for enbloc sales.

Images below are for historical records only.

32 freehold units. Completed: 1984.
