Great place to stay
Alexis is a pleasant place to stay for singles,young professional couples & retirees. It is within walking distance to Queenstown MRT, Ikea & Anchor Point. I worked long hours so what I want is to stay somewhere which is quiet, clean, low maintainence & convenient. -

Worst condo ever seen
i came across this place when I search for a 2,3 bedroom condo. went for a view coz the location is still near CBD.( 4 stops away to Raffles Place by MRT). Have been living in 4 diff condo and owned a condo, I have seen plenty of them. I am writing a review either because it's exceptional good or bad. It's the latter in this case. I almost wanted to leave immediately after one look. The first floor are going to be shops. Entrance rather feels like an office lobby. But those are fine compared to inside. Corridor is narrow and feels like HDB.the biggest penthouse units are 1200 sqft. Kitchen is really tiny, right beside the main entrance door. Impossible to fit any dining table, more like a narrow corridor btw kitchen to living room. Which is also hardly to fit a 2 seated couch. I can only imagine ppl holding their plates, eating on their couch. 2 tiny guest rooms located each side of a shared bathroom. Master is on 2nd floor, while the size is slightly bigger, the wading poor outdoor doesn't seem to make much sense. facing the main road with industry- looking warehouse in front. Overall, it doesn't have a condo feeling, not even as nice as a modern looking HDB in those Punggol area. More like a cheap student dormitory. All I can describe is I will not want to live there for FREE!! All they got is a Queensway MRT nearby, which has no much shops, restaurants around either.At that kind of rental/ selling price, I am seriously amazed ppl will actually pay for it.. I counldnt believe it was actually a condo. You can really feel Singapore property market is in an alarming , disturbing bubble status. -

Are you kidding?
Alexis is a condo unit for people who have too much money and no idea what to do with it. The units are tiny. The front door opens into the kitchen (wonder what the designer was drinking). The drawers are white and touch sensitive. Yes, you can enjoy your food getting burnt in the pan on the tiny induction cooktop while your kitchen drawers silently glide open. Room layout is terrible. I cannot see how anyone can fit comfortable furniture in the tiny alcove that is sold as the 'living room'. We took one look at the unit (we are in the market to rent a 3-br) and ran out of there. We actually went ahead to see 2 more units in Alexis just to confirm that it wasn't the one unit that was crazy. If you want a decent place to stay, this is not for you. -

It a Ghost town at night!
I drove past the project numerous times during the night and appear to be a ghost town with a few units lighted up. wondering how can Alexis be a good investment with high rental yields when there are 380 ads for sales and 100 ads for rentals ? asking $1700 to $1800 psf for a mickey mouse apt is really ridiculous. there will be 9700 shoe box apts by 2015. U think it is a good investment? buy at your own risk. -

Excellent Investment
I find Alexis a very good deal for the price for those who want to invest, even now that price have raised. The units are designed to meet single expats expectations. There are small enough to be affordable and paid with the usual 2,5 to 3,5 K SGD Expat allowance.The Condo is 3 mn walk to Queenstown MRT which serve CBD and has one bus stop just in front. it's 100 meter from Anchor point which has all convenience store like Cold Storage, 7/11, Watson, and many eateries. It's has a petrol station next to it which is also convenient. It's very close to CBD, Orchard, or Vivo/Sentosa. Mercedes and BMW are facing the units; which means nobody facing the units and nobody at night (privacy with open curtain) and no units higher than current height in the future. I simply like it and bought one unit last year. Vivian -

Small Land - Many Units
I cannot believe that people are saying the price is low for Alexis. The small units are going at about $1300psf. I might as well buy a unit at River Valley Road at $1500psf. If you have seen the site, you will be shocked that the developer actually planned to build 293 low-rise units on this small plot of land. I vision that the place is going to be very cramp. Another point to note. Units that are said to be facing shepherd hill in reality face a wall !! The selling point is always about location and the agents are saying Alexis is at city-fringe and just a few minutes to D9 and D10. I cannot disagree more with such assertion because properties in different districts automatically fall into different categories. No matter how fast you take to reach Orchard Road from Queenstown because of improved infrastructure, the properties in these two locations will forever be priced very differently. -

good buy at good price
2009, a friend bought a nice unit at S$1,000. The price dived from there till S$800+, not very sure of the developer's credibility. Read many recent reports on small time developer's giving sub-par material and bad worksmanship.Let's see. Barring that, the prices below $1,100 now are quite ok. Still remember agents selling Alexis and giving empty promises that each unit will fetch buyers up to 100% profit. Will always remember an agent telling me that in 2010 Jan, these units will be worth $1mill...certainly doesn't look anywhere near there!! Judging based on the show flats. -
