Can someone please explain to me the Singaporean hype around "landed property."

I personally prefer to stay in a nice posh District 9/10/11 condo rather than a "landed property".

Singapore's "landed" property isn't like overseas landed where you have acres and acres of land, and cannot see into your neighbour's backyard or your neighbour's opposite facing window.

So I really don't get the hype surrounding landed property, especially when there are many condos in D9/10/11 going for more than 10 million, while some landed (semi-Ds, smaller bunaglows are going for 2.5 - 5 million or less)

Someone please explain this concept to me??
