July 24, 2000 House-hunting for bungalows at
$7,000 is tough as there are almost none available at less than $10,000 in expat favoured
districts 9, 10, 11 and 21.
Wants a bungalow near the Australian School. House in Australia was 4,000
sq. ft built in and had a big swimming pool. However, it is extremely difficult to find
one for $7,000. Needs 4 bedrooms as daughter and son have own rooms. One for guest. One
for parents.

bedroom on 2nd floor. 3 big bedrooms upstairs, 2 downstairs. Lots of ground. Breezy.
Huge above-ground pool and badminton court.

hot Caucasian enclave where houses are usually above 10,000 sq. ft of land.
3pm
Bungalow

Modern marble flooring, large courtyard, little grass patch. A volley ball court.
Huge separate living and dining area. 3 bathrooms with attached bathrooms. Master
has a huge private terrace. A long green fence fronts the living and study room as
the access area is common to the neighbour. Suits expats who want big area and not mind
loss of privacy via common access road.
3.20pm
Bungalow
Duchess Road
6+2 $10,000.
Modern bungalow with pool. Remodeled with brand new kitchen and bathrooms. Side
swimming pool is above ground. Did not give the feeling that it was on 10,000 sq. ft of
land.
4.15pm
Semi-detached
Princess of Wales
4+1 2,600/2,800 sq. ft $7,000.
Small patch of grass characteristic of newer semi-detached. Did not impress but this

5.30pm
Semi-detached
Namly Drive 3+1 3,200/4,000sq. ft $8,000
Both fell in love with this California bright yellow walled 2-storey house. Brand new
modern house with open concept kitchen and big patio at side for al fresco dining. Car
porch for one car. Translucent plastic like awning outside living room brings in natural
daylight.
Lacks a 4th bedroom.
6pm
Semi-detached
King's Drive, Kingsville 5+1 2,700/3,000 sq. ft $8,500.
Less than 2 years old subdivision called Kingsville, mainly semi-detached.
3-storeys, cul de sac. This unit's back is fixed to the back of the neighbour, giving the
impression it is a bungalow.
Though it has 2 side gardens, these gardens are almost fully tiled by the Owner.
Therefore, no green grass patch for the dog.
Conclusion. For big garden, the Hua Guan bungalow was the
favourite with the husband. Will the Owner rent for $7,000?
