Pros & Cons
Distance to MRT & Clementi Mall might be challenging to some but this is possibly the only condo that is walkable to Clementi Central. Not near for sure, but at least can reach in 10mins. Full facilities with some extras like skate park, aqua gym, beach volley ball court that you can only find in The Parc. Lap pool is small in my opinion for a development of this size. MSCP, as many have argued too HDB-ish. There's in fact two MCSP at both ends of the development and basement car park serving all blocks. It serve basic needs with ample lots. Views - 1 and 2 bedrooms overlooking AYE or HDB. 3 and 4 bedder units have unblock views of the stadium/landed properties/sea/reservoir/pool. Only the middle few blocks are good. Size - agree that it's small & compact but definitely not mickey mouse size. The laundry area does not serve it's needs as it's too deep and to me it is not a usable space at all. I can't imagine hanging laundry in this space with no air circulation? Many have thought so. Likely hood that one is unable to pick fallen items from the "well" too. Finishings - Quite standard. Likes the master-room toilet. Above average though I find the bay windows too much wasted space. -

Convenient Location, Good Attributes
We stayed here since last year and have no intention to sell at all. Transportation links are top-notch, with multiple buses just few steps from the condo side gate, easily just hop on any of the 3-5 buses serving similar routes to Orchard, Raffles Place, Marina Bay, Vivocity, etc...and many more buses to other parts of Singapore. Walking Clementi MRT from the side gate takes comfortably about 8-12 minutes for us. If you just want to go to NTUC and shops and food at Clementi Central, it is even nearer, just across the road in about 5 minutes. We are also never conscious of walking to MRT, because along the way there are so many shops - guardian, giodarno, food, etc... to keep you occupied and safe. Facilities are nice, we used the swimming pool and gym, and even on weekends, you still feels quite relaxing and not crowded at all. Residents are also quite friendly, and we had already had community initiatives organized by neighbors... warm and friendly atmosphere... Well, I guess there is no "perfect" property for the "perfect Price"... I know many of the residents are not willing to sell too... because of the above and many other good attributes more than the lesser perspectives I guess. -

Put off
I visited the place last week. The condo is not walking distance from Clementi MRT. It takes easily 15 min. I had to carry my child and the stroller up and down the overhead bridges. It was a pain. I cannot do that on a daily basis. There is no transport convenience unless you take a bus to Clementi MRT. The facilities on offer are not extraordinary. The place is definitely over priced. The rooms are small. Layout is not good. No wonder nobody want to buy those units. There is only entrance to the condo. The road leading to the condo is narrow. After occupancy rate increases sure to have a traffic jam -- even if less than 50% occupants use a car. I think everyone who is writing fantastic reviews are those who want to sell their unit. Not worth it. -

Suburban Setting At High End Price Tag
1. Whether The Parc is within walking distance to the MRT station is not a question of distance but one of fitness. If you are fit, you would have no problem getting to the station under 10mins without breaking a sweat. But I would say most would. Especially if you have young children or elderly parents, it would be quite a walk for them up and down the overhead bridges. 2. It might be embedded within a HDB estate but good amenities are by no means near. Decent amenities are at best a short bus ride away. Whoever touts this place as surrounded by amenities is obviously not a resident of this project. i. The Ayer Rajah food center is good but the wet market offers a very limited selection. The latter is so quiet in the morning that one would think that it is not opened. ii. The 24 hour NTUC is near only if you are NOT picking up heavy or/and bulky items. Serious grocery shopping there is only possible for the fit. 3. Last but not least, at current prices, one would expect a high end living environment. At only 30-40% occupancy, the pool and gym are packed on weekends. I have also witnessed residents commit shocking actions which I have never seen in my previous suburban project. i. Residents wearing their slippers and crocs into the pools or/and using the life-saving devices around the pools as floats are common sights. ii. Have you seen dogs in your condo pools? I have. There are residents who let their pets take a dip in the pool in the late evening thinking that no one would see them. iii. And maybe its because of poor sound proofing, you will be kept awake by the audible sounds of partying during holiday celebrations. -

The Parc - Pros, Cons, and Asking Price
Pros: (i) freehold (ii) transport service (particularly, bus services) (iii) clementi mrt is somewhat closeby (but if it is at a walking distance or not, is debatable). Cons: (i) poor interior layout (ii) the bedroom sizes are too small. For example, in a 3bedroom unit, in the master bedroom, one can put a queen size bed only (with only a very small space left, just to stand and walk). In the other two bedrooms, one can put a single bed only (with only a small space left , just to stand and walk). (iii) the exterior and common areas are too small for such a big condo with 659 units. Asking Price: Considering the pros and cons above and aslo the recent transaction records, the asking prices look very unrealistic. Looking at the recent transaction records, particulalrly comparing the transactions in November 2010 with that in October 2010, we can observe a declining trend both in terms of number of transactions and price. But, surprisingly the "asking prices" are increasing very frequently at a faster rate. -

Poor layout
The room, kitchen and living area in this development is really small. Lift lobby area is very HDB like. High rise unit will have good view, but you will have to get use to the constant traffic noise coming from AYE. If you are driving, traffic during the morning and evening peak hour traffic around west coast road will be a bad. This should get worst when more units are being occupied. Also a pity Nan Hua is not within the 1km radius Only plus point is that it is still within walking distant to Clementi MRT. -

Rooms super small
Great views if you are on high floors. Some units face the Stadium, so u get free football games every now and then. Drive in/out will be a nightmare during peak hrs. Full facilities, looks pretty standard. The rooms are amazingly small. Put a queen bed and u r left with no room. forget study table, forget walk-in wardrobe. forget decor. Appears to be designed for midgets. -

Iconic condo in West Coast
This development is so huge that it is impossible not to notice it if you live in West Coast or Clementi Central. It is strangely strategically located because it is near to a running track with a bridge leading across to the Clementi swimming pool. It is very near to both the West Coast market and the Clementi Central area (and MRT). It is also near to West Coast Plaza and NUS so it will attract foreign expats to rent/buy this place in future. The one main down-side is the lane leading to the condo's entrance - too narrow to accommodate bigger traffic if everyone drives! -

Super Condo
I have been looking at this condo since launch - the best part is that its tall and unblocked on all sides as long as you are higher than 12+ level. Its freehold and surrounded by several good schools, MRT and the new aircon bus interchange (2011). The facilities are like a 5 star with a beautiful gym, lazy river, skating rink, beack volley etc - ideal for families with kids. No wasted spaces - square units with modern fittings. Finally, it will alsways have a high rental yield with close proximity to Holland Road, Biopolis and Jurong district. -
