Neighbours Up In Arm

In the recent years, our neighbourhood landscape is slowly changing. Property prices have shot up and older neighbours are selling up. New neighbours are tearing down old houses and putting up new double storey houses. This changes the quiet serene neighbourhood with character into a loud neighbourhood splattered with concrete.

Preparing the land for a new house

One developer is seeking to build three two storey apartment block about four storey high. Each apartment block have 9 block of flats with underground carpark.

Proposed Apartment Building

This hits my neighbours raw nerve and they are up in arm protesting against such development.


This quiet dead end street will be shattered with increasing traffic. If the prices continue to spiral upwards, I am sure my pensioner neighbours will be tempted to sell and move a quieter and cheaper suburb.
Will I sell? Not yet, but I will consider if the price is right. I will keep you posted.
