Best Condo . Lentor MRT just right beside the condo. Take a train to Orchard in just 19 mins. Very big open space and facilities are great. Only freehold within close proximity to MRT station. -

Horrible concil and management
Management and council put in ridiculous measures for their own satisfaction but does not care about residents' welfare and safety -

Experience staying at Calrose
We stayed at a 4th floor unit with the balcony facing the private estate. It gets the morning sun as it is facing south-east. Initially we thought it was an ideal facing, however we soon realized that we get a lot of reflected heat from the roof of the private houses. It's warm in the day even though the unit is not getting the direct west sun. Security guards and cleaners are friendly but there's been a lot of changes in the managing agents. Some council members are stuck-up. Pool is a good size for doing laps. -

Cockroach Haven
We bought this unit for and have been living for the past 2 years in distress. The condo look nice and well maintain on the outside but honestly, we just can't wait to break even our loan and run. The whole place has so much of these small German like cockroaches that crawl out from the Rubbish chute and "move in" into your premises. We have spend so much on pesticides and hours dealing with a never ending battle. The Condo management is aware of this but the weekly fogging proves pointless as the roaches have develop immunity to it. I seriously just can't wait to sell off this unit. -

The Calrose
Though it is going to be near a future MRT. I don't think this is a good location condo to invest for rental or reasonable investment gains. No immediate amenities available nearby, anything must go to AMK Town Ctre or Ave 4 amk a small and quiet area. Just look around, there are so many condo's coming up nearby MRT all around the island and many are near to city and places of work. The current rental will not sustain, when supply hits the mkt in the next two years time. For those living and working in City or going to Orchard it is not really nearby. What more about going to NUS or NUH or Tampines? The price for the return returns or even for staying is high in my opinion..2019 is still a long way, to talk about MRT. A tenant will prefer something nearer to work and not so far away from city, unless very low budget. It can be warm on a hot day, as it is full of glass in design. -

A Normal and Common Condomium
Condo is full of glass, so on a hot day, u experience green house effect. Interior furnishings so-so only. U have to hire a designer to renovate the place if u want to make it look cosy. Yup, price is expensive. If u mind the steepness in price, better to buy somewhere else. about 15 to 20 mins walk to YCK MRT station. -

Unreal Sellers Asking for Unreal Prices
This property is overpriced and prices to certain extent fixed. May owners and agents are claiming the attractiveness of the MRT but potential buyers don't be fooled. To enjoy the MRT you have to put up with safety, inconvenience and noises for almost 10 years. 3mins drive down the road you will also experience the construction of the new NS highway. Think twice. The property will be already about 20 years. The units are overhyped. Let me give you an analysis : 1. 60-70% of pool facing units are facing the afternoon sun. Some are facing the main road where you will see heavy constructions. 2. majority morning sun units are facing the pool or facing the private estate. There are chances that those units may encounter private houses building few storeys up. You may see lightning strikes as well. 3. Not all units are within 1Km of 'popular' schools 4. Units near the HDB flat will encounter loud celebration during certain times of the year as basketball court is a popular hosting ground 5. Units near Far Horizon will also lose its privacy as the entrance of the MRT is going to be there. Prices there are high because few agents have a few units there. There are better alternatives if you don't need that location. No need to be sore about it Barry. -

Hidden Gem
Regretfully I did not buy a unit before it is confirm the Thomson Line will be built. Prices have shot up again! Now I really can't afford this gem, a free-hold property build by MCL! I can't blame the owners for wanting even more now. Afterall, the Lentor Station is at Door Steps. The new MRT Line and Lentor Station is fully underground so construction should have minimal impact to The Calrose's environment, just like I didn't find much inconvenience when they build the Circle Line at my old condo. i shall wait for the market to cool before I jump in on this one. I wonder how high the monthly maintenance is seeing the condo has seven large pools though! -
