Nice finish for the Facilities
Kovan Residences is value for money and yet high grade finishes, resort style living, fall in love at first sight. -

Kampong Urban Living
Looking for good kampong urban living. Choose Kovan residences. The stacks are close enough to give you the feel of old times, but still have the modern facilities. The Gym and the Sauna Room are class. Good breeze and the quiet of the Kovan road. Closeness to the MRT/Bus, Banks and the petrol kiosks is a very good advantage. -

Impractical living
The units facing each other and termed 'pool view' are horrible. Too close to opposite blocks because the swimming pool is long and slim. The ones facing the road are noisy so the only good ones are the ones at the back or corners. Place feels cheap, congested and workmanship is questionable overall. Just feel the walls and you wonder if they last long. Not upmarket enough to deserve above $1,000psf for a 99-year leasehold project that is not even in popular districts. The mall opposite is just very average. Very little room for price appreciation here in future. Wear and tear over the next 5 years will bring the price down for a property of such average and forgettable design. -

Good Urban Living
Excelling place for urban living. Makes life so much easier. Clear lay-out of the units. Transport links and closeness to the Malls are amazing. Very eco-friendly structure. Planter areas allows green living in the vertical. Very good breeze. There should have been at least two tennis courts. -

Cluttered environment
Near MRT but poor workmanship! Already showing signs of wear and tear although the property is supposed to be new. location wise, further down the road towards NEX is better. Will rather buy east coast with this type of psf. not worth it! -

Lousy design
Common facilities area is so cluttered. Children's playground? Asking for sky high price at this area is ridiculous. -

Good Buy and Value for Money
We are very happy to have purchased the unit. The interior landscaping and the sauna room are very good. Closeness to the MRT and the shopping areas makes life very convenient. The jogging track and the childeren play areas are enjoyable. The southern breeze is very good. The stacks and the towers should have a bit more apart. Sauna room should have more privacy. Too many planter areas and some planter spaces are practically unusable. -

Jewel of D19
Arguably the best condo in D19, except for units facing pool has so little privacy. Also the spa pavilion is such a waste. Windy most of the time, transport link and amenities are really second to none. I love Kovan Residences. -

Definitely Good Buy
Although some of my friends have been holding back on purchase, I have decided not to wait and actively looking for units closely mrt, and have seen quite a number of condo in d19. Realize only kovan residences and kovan melody are truly at mrt doorstep and extremely convenient. I not keen on the smaller boutiques. I have seen a few of kovan res units that have TOP and have offered for 3 of them. Should be able to secure 1 of them. I more keen on the pool view and no noon sun and away from noise. Wish me luck. -

Really one of the best condos???
Saw last transaction at nearly 1200psf, convinced that market has gone insane. Hall is decent sized, but agreed privacy is an issue with some rooms just meters away from opposite stack. Not a very spacious development. Don't think current asking is sustainable long term at all for such a project, esp that it's leasehold. -
