Would you rather buy a prime location HDB or a condo in a more "ulu" area? Comment down below!

TL;DR:

What's GOOD about prime HDBs:

Generally large for its price (think Pinnacle @ Duxton and Skyville @ Dawson)
Easy access to the central area
Lower service & conservancy charges (S&CC)

What's GOOD about secluded condos:

Exclusivity as a property investment asset
Access to private facilities

What's NOT-SO-GOOD about secluded condos:

Higher monthly S&CC fees
Small for its price
Not as connected to the city (but this may improve over time)

If you don't qualify for a BTO, would you buy a re-sale HDB for $1m or a condo for $2m (assuming available financing for both, and at decently good locations)?

Would you rather buy sale of balance flat for $150,000 and potentially upgrade later or buy $400,000 resale with better location?

What would your advice be? Wife and I are discussing and appreciate inputs 1) Downsize to HDB and grow CPF, 2) Sell the existing condo and buy a condo under each of our names or 3) Remain status quo? ?

If you could afford it, would you rather live in a bungalow or HDB? Though landed property sounds very enticing, it really is very inconvenient though compared to a heartland HDB area. Any thoughts?

Currently staying in a mortgaged small condo, didn't expect to have kids but now we do and are running out of space. Would you rent a whole unit HDB or buy a resale property?
