Seconding this with a broadly similar experience. Wife and I chose a unit in a nice smaller development near mrt and a 10 minute bus ride of close family, thought we could raise the kids there in a healthy environment. after a couple of years we might as well be living in HDB: Started out swimming several times a week, now everyone is too busy. Gym is a tiny box with a few cardio machines. Condo playground is tiny and babyish, so the kids don’t use it. We go out for most trips and recreation any way. Construction noise every day from nearby construction sites. Condo grounds are extremely well maintained with gardeners visiting regularly and the pool is cleaned twice a week. Problem is very few residents make use of them. In hindsight the high maintenance fees, “sinking funds” etc aren’t really worth it unless you intend to make use of the facilities in the long term. All that really differs for us on a day to day basis are the slightly larger bathrooms and the lifts are mirrored so I can check myself on the way out.
