  Great location

  A hidden gem! Peaceful and tranquil while in the middle of the hip and trendy Katong area. With the soon to open MRT and the endless East Coast Park at a stones throw away

  Katong/Peranakan food haven

  The condo itself is minimalist in facilities, but it makes it have the feeling of a smaller community. The surrounding neighbourhood is replete with food and culture to explore, making a home here wonderful for young couples establishing their familiarity with local culture. You've got to try the kueh!

  Ceylon Crest Rocks!

  I live in Ceylon Crest, and with hand on my heart, I can certainly say that it is fantastic to live here. I am one of the original residents who bought this place since TOP - it is such a convenient place to stay, yet quiet. The nearby temple & church don't bother me...it definitely isn't noisy...in fact all the activity around gives the place energy and life! This certainly beats living in some 500 unit development. I can humbly say that I am just blessed to be able to live in this apartment. :o)

  Nice Neighbourhood

  Big pro for this condo is changes happening around Katong and Joo Chiat, which are becoming really hip. Mixes between Paranakan shop houses and brand new shops and malls creates a really colourful neighbourhood. Interior of the unit I saw seems well kept and like the split wet and dry kitchen. But the balcony seems small. Nothing special about the condo amenity.

  Quiet, Peaceful and convenient

  I think temple noise, crowd are really exaggerated by short term visitors. I was also concerned prior to buy a unit, but after visiting three noisiest time periods (early morning, mid-day and evening) on the Deepavali day – I decided to buy as neither noise and crowd were issues. Noise level from the temple was hardly recognizable from the inside of my unit on the Deepavali day. There were a slight traffic congestion on the narrow road and some cars were parked on the side of pedestrian ways. However, most of congestions were caused for only short terms (when passengers loading & unloading) – I find it’s not bothering. Even my partner (who would never go to Little India) admitted temple isn’t a concern at all. Finally I've interviewed few current residents (renting and owning) and all of them were quite happy with the condo and proximity to the temple as minimum concern. In addition, I've done some researches and the temple actually hosts a few community events to be in favor by the neighbors. To me, quiet, peaceful home and yet close to the city, shopping and nature are all important factors and this place and location was the perfect suit.

  ceylon crest

  really really close to the indian temple. expect loud indian music/chants twice a day. on days of event, like wedding, it can get really bad. the narrow road is also a major problem due to illegal parking and jam can be bad. next to landed properties, so can expect fengshui 'poison arrows' from the roofs of the private properties. no gym. small pool. owners asking unrealistic prices. location is ok but the proximity of the indian temple is too much to take.

  Lack privacy

  nearby several high level bungalows and terrace houses. Neighburing apartment tearing down soon, expect more noise ahead beside the daily chants from Indian temple. Other irritating observation many dog shits and passive service fr mgmt agent base on negative complaints from residents Only one pool, and people threw rubbish down, user beware!
