Bamboo III 6th of October City

Bamboo III 6th of October City: a 237 m² penthouse for little more than a 182 m² house

Bamboo III 6th of October City, also searched as Bamboo 3, is a compound by Palm Hills Developments in 6th of October City. The developer has four units on offer: a three-bedroom family house of 182 m² at EGP 27,938,000, a three-bedroom penthouse of 237 m² at 29,253,000, and five-bedroom townhouses from 249 m² at 34,943,000, all with 5% down, 10 years of instalments and handover in December 2029.

The first thing to notice is that the penthouse is 55 m² larger than the family house and only about 1.3 million dearer. So the choice is between a house on the ground and a penthouse with a roof, and the space gap is large against the price gap. This page helps you choose.

Who is Bamboo III for?

A family that wants a lot of space at a fair price

The 237 m² penthouse has the cheapest metre on offer, plus a roof for evenings outside.

A family that wants its own entrance

The family house is on the ground, suited to small children or older relatives who should avoid stairs.

A large family

The five-bedroom townhouse of about 250 m², with a garden and a room for everyone.

Someone who wants Palm Hills in October

The compound is beside Palm Hills' Palmet, in an area of many well-known compounds.

The family house or the penthouse?

• Family house, 3 bedrooms, 182 m²: 27,938,000, about 153,500 per m².
• Penthouse, 3 bedrooms, 237 to 238 m²: 29,253,000, about 123,400 per m².

The penthouse costs only about 1.3 million more for 55 m² more, about 24,000 per added metre, under a fifth of any unit's metre in the compound. What you pay for in the family house is being on the ground with your own entrance and probably a garden. If stairs and a top floor do not bother you, the penthouse is far better value; with small children or older relatives, the family house is more comfortable.

What is a family house?

A family house is a home designed for one family, usually with its own entrance and space on the ground. The exact type differs between projects, so ask about the layout: how many floors, how large the garden, and whether anyone lives above or below.

The five-bedroom townhouse

The townhouses of 249 to 250 m² cost from 34,943,000 to 35,922,000, about 140,300 a metre, with two available. They cost about 7 million more than the family house for 67 m² and two rooms more. If your family is large or needs a guest room and a study, the townhouse makes sense; if three rooms are enough, the penthouse saves about 5.7 million.

What to choose for your budget

• About 28 million: the family house, if a home on the ground matters most.
• About 29 million: the penthouse, the best value on offer at 237 m².
• About 35 million: the townhouse, for a family that needs five rooms and a garden.

The sums: 5% down, 10 years

• Family house: 1,396,900 down, then about 221,200 a month.
• Penthouse: 1,462,650 down, then about 231,600.
• Townhouse: 1,747,150 down, then about 276,600.

If the instalment is to stay within a third of household income, the penthouse needs about 695,000 a month, so this is for a family with a strong income or cash. These are approximate and before any increases; details are under payment plans.

Against the compounds around it

• Townhouses: Bamboo III about 140,300 a metre, Hyde Park Signature 122,800, Garden Lakes 113,700, 31 West 99,300, Club Hills Residence 94,700, Villagio 86,100.
• Penthouses: 205 Arkan Palm about 177,300, Hyatt Centric 133,300, Bamboo III about 123,400, O West 112,900, Village West 107,400.
• Family houses: Nmq about 105,800, Bamboo III about 153,500.

So the townhouse here is the dearest metre among its neighbours and the family house well above Nmq's, while the penthouse sits in the middle, which confirms it as the unit that holds up best against the market. Elsewhere, the extra pays for the Palm Hills name.

Bamboo III or Palmet?

Palmet, from the same developer about a kilometre away, starts at 25,694,000 for 124 m², about 207,200 a metre. So Bamboo III is much cheaper per metre and gives far more space for similar money. If you want Palm Hills here and need space, Bamboo III is the better buy.

A penthouse or a house on the ground?

The penthouse is on the top floor, with a roof, wider views and more privacy, ideal for a family that likes evenings outside, but with stairs or a lift and no garden. The family house is on the ground, so children step straight into the garden and older relatives avoid stairs. Ask yourself who will live there and where you will spend your time.

Handover at the end of 2029

You will pay instalments for about three years before moving in. If you rent today, add those years of rent before comparing with a ready unit. In exchange, you book at today's price, and the instalment weighs less each year if your income rises. Ask about construction progress and visit the site before signing.
