Last updated: 15 Feb 2002 To: Expats relocating to Singapore. DISTRICT 21 HOUSES ARE VALUE FOR MONEY DISTRICT 21 HOUSES ARE: BURGUNDY HILL, KISMIS GREEN, MERA GARDENS, TOH TUCK HOUSES I thank you for your business which has sustained the operations of http://www.asiahomes.com. It is just not practical to email images to individuals. I have commissioned this report from a house-hunting visit with an expat couple, no children, a budget of $3,000 - $4,000, looking for houses with garden. The District 21 Burgundy Hill houses typifies what a luxurious interior of a house will look like. A one-year old Burgundy Drive semi-detached with quality finishes rents for a low $3,800 because it is in the wrong location. Otherwise, its rent will be $6,000 if it is located in Districts 9, 10 and 11. All units described below should have cable TV connections.

| TULIP GARDENS is a condo with townhouses or lower maisonettes located in District 10. Block 7, Upper maisonette is called "townhouse". Has roof terrace, but no garden. 3+1 2800sf $3,800. Some units have been remodelled and are in demand as there is the full condo facilities of Tulip Gardens unlike the semi-detached houses shown here.. Lower maisonettes, sometimes called "townhouses" have a small garden. Ceramic tiled living/dining area characteristic of older condos. Big balconies in living area and master bedroom, but no good views in this unit. The husband complains about the traffic noise from Farrer Road in the distance. More than 10 years old. Signs of wear and tear are evident unless the Owner has remodelled the unit. Near to Holland Village and a 5-min drive to Orchard Road. There are apartments in Tulip Gardens.
