It's almost perfect!
All the reviews here are actually quite correct. In addition, for a damn lazy person like me, having a neighborhood bakery outside that sells quality bread at a very good price, 2 7-11s outside and behind for necessities and snacks in the middle of the night, a Prime supermarket and nice coffeeshops nearby in short walking distance (about 3 to 5 mins awway) without having to take the train is a HUGE plus. They are building a hotel outside that is supposed to be a 4 star hotel. I hope they have good amenities like laundry and video and car rental! Then the place will be perfect. Another thing I like is that i didn't have to pay for wasteful space like balconies and air shelter. I know some people like them, but I'd personally rather not pay for these. Also takes me 20 mins to get to work from door to desk, and most of that time is to walk from Raffles MRT to my office! Don't think I'd ever move from this place. The one thing I didn't like is that I am not sure when they open the side gate and when they keep it closed. It's been launched for more than a year, so don't know why they don't keep the side gate open. Have to find some time to talk to management about it! -

Overpriced Condo
I beg to differ with some comments posted here. In my honest opinion, I feel that although Citylights has a good location the feeling I experienced when I visited it recently was of being cramp and lacking that spacious feel. The ammenities are also located haphazardly and the entrance to the Condo lacks posh appeal. Also, being a 99 year condo, the units are overpriced now. Real let down. -

A beautiful name plus great location
Not many 99 year leasehold projects are that successful in terms of commanding a good sales price and a high rental rate. Much regret the time when I was offerred a price about the same as City Square during the launch period. City Square is doing quite ok but I think Citylights has scored better in design, appeal and surroundings. Fireworks during National days comes as a bonus for being in the right place at the right time. -

SHOPPING CONVENIENCE & YEAR-ROUND FIREWORKS!
Shopping & buying groceries' convenience are getting convenient at this place. There is a free shuttle-service at the Citylights' entrance to the new City Square Mega Mall just behind. Bugis Junction Shopping Mall is just 1 MRT station away. Suntec Shopping Mall is just 2 MRT stations away. All-year-round at Citylights, residents get to enjoy beautiful fireworks from their windows during festivities. Unblocked at the sea-facing front, fireworks illuminate the sky at the coastal line of National Stadium, Marina Bay Golf Course, Sheares Bridge or Marina Bay during different festivals. For the corner units, occupants get the added views of fireworks at the back of their units during Deepavali at Little India and festivities at Orchard Rd. Quite a celebrative and upbeat place! -

Good Investment - World-class Sports Hub
Rated as one of most popular condos, Citylights' superb location is gifted with potential for high capital appreciation. The condo sits right in front of the future Singapore Sports Hub next to the Marina Bay IR area. The 35-ha sports hub will cover world-class sports facilities, hotels, entertainment and lifestyle facilites. Apparently, Citylights commands one of the hightest rental yields in the city area. The units are easily rented out. The beauty of this condo is almost every unit offers pool, bay or alluring sea views. Much sought after by western working expatriates, it is near to business districts like Suntec & Raffles Place with MRT at doorsteps. For frequent business travelers, the airport is a mere 15 mins via major expressways. Citylights is well located in close proximity to Bugis Junction & Suntec City shopping centres, National Stadium, Kallang Sea Sports Centre, Marina Golf Course, Arts Centre, heritage places and bars/eateries served in quaint conservation shophouses in nearby Arab Street. Here, urbanites enjoy the dynamics of urban living as the condo offers full recreational facilities. At the same time, the landscaping permeates an air of quiet relaxation likened to a retreat hidden in the busy city. Given the full amenities, the average $250 maintenance fee including one car-park lot is considerably low relative to other condos in the city. The low maintenance fee, a draw to investors, is made possible borne by the 600 units. With unique advantages aplenty, it is not difficult to see why Citylights is popular with investors. -

Expatriates' living with nice Sea & Bayviews
This condo is majorly occupied by single western expatriates. Possibly because it's one of the few city condos with nice unblocked sea & bay views coupled with commuting convenience. MRT right at doorsteps. Located in the city, yet rare with no CBD charges for cab fare. Travelling to the airport is fast via the expressway. It's near to business districts like Suntec City & Raffles Place. Not so much a family condo. More ideal for expatriates' living. A good place for investments too. -

Luxurious & Convenient
The surrounding area is pretty good. The MRT is a stone throw away. MRT stops to many different shopping centres. Good facilities but the swimming pool is dangerous for families living on ground floor. Overall it's quite alright. Though it's overpriced. -

excellent location
Even though facilities and space within the condo are not much, but the location is too good to live. MRT just at doorstep, bus stops infront and behind with many directions to East/West/North/South of Singapore...nearly located at the traffic centre all the way! -

Citylights
Located near city and next to MRT station. Full facilities incl near olympic size pool, gym, tennis. The corridor outside the unit is very narrow and the public area are not nicely maintained. Those high floor units commands very god city/bay views. -
