    Lovely, functional condo, popular with French

    Superb convenience! MRT at doorstep, no fear of rain, very safe and family-friendly development without being too noisy. Has 2 nice long functional pools, tennis court, BBQ and function rooms etc. Despite moderate MCST fees, it's well managed and well maintained. Security is good without being overbearing. Fairprice, Cold Storage and many mall amenities across the road. An uncomplicated neighbourhood with a large landed enclave behind it. Good food everywhere. Overall a very nice place to call home.

    Conveniently located just right opposite Kovan City and Kovan MRT station and a host of popular eateries. Price wise is one of the highest in district 19 but it is worth it for the location

    Falling glass is dangerous

    Whilst this condo is in a good location, there have been so many balcony glass falling since it was built. I think more than 50 pieces of glass have fallen. An article was even written in the local paper. Luckily no one has been killed or injured yet but just this month (January) we had another 3 fall. One piece shattered into the swimming pool so yet again, half of it was closed for 2 days. The owners have all formed a group to lobby the developer but so far all that has happened is that most unit have a clear plastic put on the glass to stop it falling when it shatters. That doesn't appear to be working. Buyers beware as you should know of this major faulty and safety issue before buying here. You can contact the management office or BCA department as they all know about it.

    Well,well,well.

    This house is bigger than my kovan melody condo.but,the swimming pools are not fair.one too deep and one too shallow.and,the condo is also much more smaller than my kovan melody condo.but,things are going very well despite the heat that made our balcony glass shelter because of expansion.

    Seriously??

    I am really shocked at the asking prices of this project especially given the fact that too many of their glass balconies are shattering and raining down on the ground endangering lives with their shards.

    not for quality living. Worst than HDB.

    The internal size for the unit is still reasonable for a start up family. But the external environment is bad. If you stay there, all your curtain are drawn end up facing the 4 wall everyday! Developer design the condo that is face to face and has no privacy. It is definitely not a choice for quality living unless you just want a roof over your head and so call stay in private property. There is no privacy and make resale value poor! Pool facing is the worst unit and also having a swimMing pool that you will not want to use except maybe for the first time. People buy Condo for quality living but this condo design is worst than most HDB. The only good thing about the condo is near MRT and there is a bus terminal nearby but Driving is night mare as the road outside is always conjested til late night! Not near expressway and drive to town take a longer time than taking MRT.. Only for people who dont own a car is alright. Dont ever think of buying for own stay as it is not worth it. Many HDB or EC is much better than this condo when come to facing! The only good reason for investing in this condo maybe to rent out for students or elderly who dont bother of quality of living but than they may prefer to choose a HDB instead! you will end up feel like being lock up inside a room with 4 wall the time. Visit a unit that face the pool and you will understand what i mean! You may want to question who is the developer! Are they designing condo for people to stay?
