Living in Caspian
IThe property is going to TOP soon. This is such a beautiful condo with a very beautiful swimming pool and good size balcony. It is just 3 mins walk to Lakeside MRT and there is a park connector which connects to the Jurong Lake. The price is reasonable vs another newer development next door. The sizes of the 2 - 4 bedders are also very spacious vs newer condos nowadays. Rental yield is also gd as this is near to mrt. Lastly, there is a top primary school Rulang Primary School and Canadian International school nearby. What more can you ask for? Gd school, gd transportation and future jurong lake district at your doorstep. There should be more rooms for capital appreciation. Thumbs up if you are getting for investment or for own stay. For now, i thinking of getting it for own stay! -

Caspian - lucky I let go..
I let go this unit at 800psf & made a quick buck. TOP next year owners already on panic sale, but no ones gonna buy at 1000psf, rather buy Keppel which is nearer & can see 'water' the only regret i have is there is a top primary school within 1km, nothing else impresses me, the design will look really ugly, not much effort put into building design I guess. Good Luck to sellers.. -

My honest views
No doubt I am also looking at this development, however my reviews here are my honest and objective opinions. I am not trying to do funny thing. 1) As most of the reviewers have stated, it is near to MRT not too near will be noisy; 2) As for the outlook of this development, I wish it is still acceptable to me; 3) Another point of my consideration is, noise from the Jet fighter planes might be another concern. As I understand it is very near to the landing path of the Jet fighter planes. 4) As I am leaving in the west and work in Tuas which I never notice air pollution is a problem there. 5) Another concern, after Lake front development TOP, traffic might be a concern if everyone rushed out using the one and only road (Sorry, I don't know the road name but I guess you know which road I am referring. :) 6) Finally, the PSF, oh my! from last Dec 2011, it is about average $858 and now is $1000? Is someone trying to try their lucks or do something funny? 7) I can't too much on the internal as it is not TOP yet. Hope to view some of the units and see if the noise from the MRT track is acceptable or not. But the price is still too high. These are really my honest views, not trying to bring down the price, which I hope the prices will drop and just to share my views over this development. :) -

Is this an industrial Condo?
As I was passing by the condo the other day, I find the facade looks exactly like a Jurong flatted factory. Really pity those future residents staying at those units facing the MRT tracks,just barely 10-20 metres away from their units. Probably, they'll need to go for hearing impairment checkups yearly. Those staying at the units facing inside will not be spared either when they realise how near the opposite block is facing their unit. Privacy will be an extinction for them. The project is just super super cramp. The air inside the condo will just be stagnant with zero wind, a good breeding ground for household moulds. That's how they can squeeze 712 units into such a tiny land area. -

Caspian, preferred choice?
I am currently living nearby Caspian and looking for condo in Jurong area. The followings are my observation on Caspian. 1. Near to MRT station is good but too near to MRT track is bad. 2. Narrow main entrance and yet surrounded by buildings make Caspian undesirable. 3. Design and layout of the project look like walk-up apartment with superfacial glass windows but with no adequate cross-ventilation. 4. Cars driving in and out from lakeside dr to yuan ching road is another hurdle, especially after 6pm. 5. Close proximity to Jurong Lake Park is good. -

FUTURE CBD WITH LEISURE
Caspian is located near the Jurong Lake that lots of developments are implementing now. Canadian school was put up and ready to open.PSLE top school is nearby too. Jurong Lake area will definitely become second CBD of Singapore. Minutes walk to Lake Side MRT and amenities are located nearby. Convenient for expatriates who working at Jurong Island and western industrial zone so that good rental yield is definitely there -

Seaching for Lakeside condo
Search for Lakeside condo for sometime with a friend. He bought Mayfair few months back as urgent need after selling HDB. For me still looking and for newer ones as my preference and for own stay. Most nearby developments are coming to 10yrs and Centris out of my reach. Caspian pricing is still consider not unreasonable and size is good unlike newer developments. Of course everyone needs differs. IMHO, like Caspian is new, good conventional layout, not kitchen is living room. Lakefront as very much higher psf and living only fits in 2 sitter sofa. My choice is clear and waiting to fulfil MOP before buying. Every needs differs. -

Jewel of the west?
Not sure whether it's indeed jewel of the west. Bought a unit recently after agent convinced that it will be ready in mid or late 2012. Official TOP is 2013. To respond to RC, you left out two good schools, ie RV and RL. Pl go check out and both are top tier schools. Have been reading reviews here for a while. Realized one negative review dated 18 Oct was removed. Not sure why. Probably writer was convinced that it is a good condo after all. Whether it's jewel of the west, it's up to individual really. If you feel that the location is not ideal and deco is not up to your expectation, pl dun buy caspian. Try sentosa cove or sliver sea or condo in district 9 or 10. If it's within your budget, ie 8xx or 9xx psf, and a good condo for your family, then it's a jewel to you. -

Average property blown out of proportion
Some of the comments here are really weird. Comments about good school and good rental yield are absolutely baseless. The building will only TOP in 2013 and comments here say it fetches 'good rental yield'? And then you look around you... I didn't know that the Yuan Ching Sec Sch, Yuhua Sec Sch, Lakeside Pri, Shuqun Pri are sought-after schools? Also don't understand how being near the Canadian International School has any special effect there. This is completely different from those properties near the famous primary schools - doesn't mean that as long as an apartment is near a school must mean 'great potential'. This place is not even near any mall. I think Ivory Heights condo's location is much better! Rather worrying that over 300 units are listed for sale. Definitely an over-speculated project! -
