Not really true these days leh
And parking is not free...it's 'free' because it's in the much higher monthly maintanence you have to pay to the condo management
And selection of neighbours is a hit or miss lor
You read the papers so many ppl in condo with bad neighbours also
Nicer finishing and materials I rather custom make my HDB coz I get to choose. Those build in ones if I dun like also hack away....waste money nia

wherever you stay, it's the neighbours that make or break the place ....
and I think the average singaporean neighbour is an inconsiderate arsehole who's only too quick to jump onto others when others are inconsiderate in turn ......
the crowded chicken coop effect maybe ? ....

i have no corridoor to my place because i stay at a point block which i think is way more convenient than walking down corridoors.
depends on how you see it... problem with neighbors (not only condos but HDBs) is they dun know how to do communal living. basically dun do onto others what you dun want others to do onto you.
Condo Example - neighbor's daughter always practice piano very early on saturdays or late at night weekdays, non issue until the fact they loved to leave the front door open... noise travels down the corridor, this could be easily resolved by closing the door when practice piano.
HDB Example - downstairs neighbor dry clothes whole bloody day, when upstairs neighbor hang out clothes after lunch, drip a bit, downstairs neighbor use bleach and spray upstairs neighbor's laundry.

i guess the benefit i see... condo has management office to deal with the bad neighbors (faster than the town council) :P

good old winston churchhill, wartime PM of britain, drank like a fish and ate like there was no tomorrow. its said that he started each day with champagne and a big slab of bacon. and the guy was free of cardiovascular disease and lived into his 90s.
well then paying more to have the same problems is not worth it.
somemore the condo is so damn small.

you consider me a young apprentice
caught between the scylla and charybdis
hypnotised by you if i should linger
staring at the ring around your finger..
i have only come here seeking knowledge
which they would not teach me of in college
i can see the destiny you sold
turned into a shining band of gold
mephistopheles is not your name
but i know what you're thinking just the same
i will listen hard to intuition
and you'll see it come to its fruition
devil and the deep blue sea behind me
vanish in the air, you'll never find me
i will turn your flesh to alabaster
then you'll find your servant is your master

talking about being anal... last year.. i was helping out my friend to take his friend's wedding pictures, it's sunday at 830am... we were at the bride's place "negotiating entrance fees", can you beat that... one of the neighbors called the police and complained that we were too noisy. OMG, i hope that neighbor does not have an ceremony or event at 830am, else i will be the first one to complain back... :D
oh.. it was a HDB block and the main road outside is more noisy.
it obvious that the neighbour hates the bride's family
