However, we will not be accepting the invitation because after careful considerations, we are not able to afford such a huge downpayment. We risk wiping out our entire savings and having to start from scratch thereafter, with our hard-earned money locked in while the flat is being constructed.

As much as we like the flat in question, we had to realise the practicality of it and give up the chance.

We believed that so long as we remain positive about it, we will eventually find a place of our own which we like within our budget.

A designer built luxurious apartment project featuring 3 towering blocks of 4-room and 5-room DBSS public housing flats with full amenities nearby for modern urban lifestyle prestige living, and yet so close to the tranquility and peace of nature. Situated at one of the most sought after location in Singapore, surrounded by many of the Singapore’s reputed schools and flanked by a lavish array of nature retreats, ranging from parks to reservoirs, Natura Loft is your ideal choice to fulfil your dreams of enjoying the best of both worlds.

Enjoy all the perks of public housing and at the same time a prestige lifestyle similar to condominium living.

Here are the layout plans from the brochure, particularly the 4-room ones which we are interested in.

The quoted price range is from $465000 to $586000, or about $450 to $570 psf. I would consider it to be quite reasonable taking into consideration the location, and of course it comes fully renovated except for furniture. On top of that, most of the floor area are livable spaces, unlike a condominium which I have seen that comes with 3 or 4 planter boxes.

Another most important factor for me is that the carpark for residents will be built under the flats, which means that my precious motorbikes will probably be sheltered. To cut a long story short, the apartment meets all of my housing criteria.

The main drawback would only be the price.
