Noisy and dusty. Don't buy.
Next to Expressway. Very noisy and dusty. Going to be very crowded soon with the other 4 condos (3000 units) completing. Turning into PIE (Jurong) is a dangerous stunt. No recommended. -

fair views
I too was invited to a friends gathering at the Arte, location is not near convenient, both MRT stations are neither here nor there ( more than 750m away ) and the noise from the highway is unbearable, if these are really going for $1400-1500 sqft than I think Irrawaddy Road is way much better, at least you are in Novena area, within 500m to Novena Station and short walking distances to 3 shopping malls. -

Good investment
I bought a unit one year ago. We paid $1,272/sqft Everybody told us the price is so high for Balestier area. But I beg to differ. All the new condo surrounding us (which are located only 5 to 10 metres from our condo) are selling around $1400+ to $1600+. That is the price purchase direct from developer. So what will be the 2nd market doing after its TOP? In order to make profit, the owners will be selling around $1600+ to $1800+. So when that time come, I believe the Arte will be able to sell around $1,400+ to $1,600+ on the conservative side. Apart from the above,the location is excellent, its very convenient to everywhere. Orchard road is 20 min away (door to door by Bus) I really love the inetrior of the place, its breezy and bright. -

investment gets better each day!
we've stayed here since its TOP and our investment just looks better with each passing day! The worst of the construction din is over. (Which part of our island isn't under renewal/construction?) In the very near forseable future, this area will be the spanking new prime with within 20mins to anywhere in Singapore by car. Its central location means that we hit the CTE/PIE within minutes and arrive at destination within 20. Good schools are within 5 minutes' drive. We have a choice of Good schools and the Mrt Stations and amenities and shopping between Novena and Toa Payoh both of which are just a 10-15mins walk. Eateries along Balestier are also within minutes' walk. Condo mgt remains a work-in-progress but overall, we'd say we got ourselves a Gem.. -

Road Noise + Dust
I have to agree on the spacious layout on the development + quality finishes in the unit. However terrible road noise on the 4 bedders facing express ways. On-going construction surrounding + makes the development very dusty. -

No regret so far
I am a owner recently shifted into The Arte. This full condo facilities project has impressed me especially the layout & finishing of the unit. One of the good point is that, it has an alternative exit which allows me to drive straight out to Thomson Rd & turn into PIE without the need to drive to Balestier & make a U-turn just to go to Thomson Rd / PIE or trying to use the congested Jalan Datoh just to hit Balestier. Go back, I just make a right turn from Thomson Road (from Novena) & left turn to Jln Raja Udang. To/from Orchard usually took me about 6-7mins drive during off-peak There is a free shuttle service right infront of the lorry, every half an hour to/from Novena MRT/Velocity/Sq 2 -

I'll Pass On This!
Visited a friend's place last night @ Arte for some CNY eve gambling, LOVE their home as it was so open, airy and elegant! But because it was raining, the front door area was slippery and flooded with water. And the planter/balcony takes up so much space! So quite keen to get a unit here but for that price, I rather opt for a place where I won't have anything to complain about! -

My Choice
I have been looking around and finally decided to buy The Arte. I m impressed by the layout and quality finishes. The unit is bright, and the ventilation is well circulate. Based on my experience, the price for The Arte is definitely reasonable due to location and moreover is freehold with full condo facilities in a huge plot land ratio. I see alot of potential in this area. I m not affected by the noise coz I got myself a low floor, though I could have get myself a high floor with fantastic view. -

Noise!
Went to look at a number of units in this condo today. Interiors are of a high standard but not double glazed windows to keep the noise out from the construction taking place on three sides of the condo, on the fourth side you have the PIE. All of the hallways and common areas on the ground and first floor were wet and extremely dangerous, and this after just after 5 min of light rain. Units are all of a good size with an optimal layout and unlike most new developments today do not have bomb-shelters. -
