02
Why buyers choose this area
Faber Residence sits in District 5 · Buona Vista / West Coast / Pasir Panjang. Buyers here are usually choosing for a mix of this part of Singapore-side accessibility, a 99-year lease that still holds strong resale value, and the character of the immediate neighbourhood. GuocoLand as the developer determines build quality and after-sales, so it is worth weighing that track record alongside the price.
03
Schools & transport
Proximity to good schools is one of the strongest price drivers in Buona Vista / West Coast. Check the actual 1km catchment for the primary school you have in mind — “within the district” is not the same as “within 1km” — and factor transport access to the nearest MRT and major roads into your choice of unit.
04
What I’d do
What I would do: work out your holding period first. The lease-remainder matters here — check it against your horizon and how banks will treat it on resale. If you are an investor chasing yield or a quick flip, compare hard against other 99-year leasehold options in the same district. Don’t let the launch momentum or a single good-taste showflat do the deciding for you.
05
Frequently asked questions
Is Faber Residence a good investment?
It depends on your horizon and how you price the lease-remainder. Buona Vista / West Coast has good long-term fundamentals you must hold long enough to realise; it rewards patient buyers more than quick-flippers.
New launch or resale near Faber Residence?
Compare like-for-like on per-square-foot price, remaining lease, and how much renovation you want. A resale unit can offer better space-per-dollar, but a new launch here may carry a fresher lease and lower immediate maintenance.
Can I use CPF or bank financing here?
Yes — CPF OA and bank loans both apply to private condos in Singapore, subject to the usual ABSD, LTV and lease-remainder rules. Confirm your financing approval before you commit so the tenure works for you.
