Convenient travel is something residents of The Glades can enjoy, as Tanah Merah MRT station is just in front of it, along Upper Changi Road. There is also a bus stop beside the condo’s entrance. Bedok Point, Bedok Mall and Bedok interchange are just one train station away, while Changi Airport can be reached via a quick transfer at Tanah Merah MRT station.

Singa Hills is a low-lying apartment project at the end of Jalan Singa. With only 58 units available, it is a low-density development on a quiet stretch of road lined with landed homes, making it perfect for residents who prefer a peaceful neighbourhood.
Despite its seemingly remote location, however, Singa Hills is not far from HDB estates and their shops and hawker centres. At the same time, it is merely a short drive away from schools such as St Patrick’s Secondary School and Victoria Junior College, as well as amenities like Parkway Parade, East Coast Park and Bedok Reservoir.
Upcoming developments, such as Kaki Bukit MRT station (on the Downtown Line 3) and the Paya Lebar Commercial Hub, will also be located near Singa Hills.
The units are spread across two five-storey blocks; they start from 464 sq ft one-bedroom apartments and go up to 1,163 sq ft three-room penthouses. Every common bedroom can accommodate a queen-sized bed and every bathroom comes with a rain shower installed.
The units’ interiors are designed to be cosy and comfortable, and facilities include a rooftop swimming pool, fitness alcove, children’s playground, Jacuzzi and pool deck.

Sunnyvale Residences is a 30-unit low-rise development located in the quiet neighbourhood of Telok Kurau, with only three- and four-bedroom dual key units offered.
Sizes range from 936 sq ft to 969 sq ft for the three-bedroom units and 1,119 sq ft to 1,367 sq ft for the four-bedroom units, Sunnyvale Residences is designed with the family in mind. This is in line with Roxy-Pacific’s vision that the development should support multi-generational families.
At the same time, every unit also comes with the option of combining the master bedroom with the adjoining bedroom for a much bigger bedroom space. This can effectively turn a four-bedroom unit into a three-bedroom one. This added customisability allows homeowners at Sunnyvale to tailor their living conditions to suit their needs.
The neighbourhood of Telok Kurau is also peaceful and full of private homes and low-rise condominiums. Malls like Parkway Parade and 112 Katong are about a 10-minute drive away and Kembangan MRT station is a 12-minute walk from Sunnyvale Residences, along the Siglap Park Connector.
