Other than the possible higher value of the land in landed properties, there is little else to shout about staying in a landed home as compared to condo living in terms of facilities and landscaping. For me, it will be condo living anytime.

Status is meaningless if it does not lead to better quality of life.
I agree with you. To me, landed propery is meaningless unless I stay in the Nassim area. I will stay in a condo any time too. Staying in a condo in the Orchard area is any time higher social status than staying in a landed in some ulu place in the east. Hahaha.
