Overpriced
As a mass market project, The Quartz is surely overpriced. It is a 99-leasehold condo without any renowned schools around. Neaby MRT seems to be the only selling point as it is located a bit far from TPE, KPE, and CTE. Both Compass Points and Hougang Mall are not within walking distance. 24-hour food court provided very limited choices of foods, and not decilious though. Most importantly, interior materials are low class. Please pay attention to the ground of kitchen and bathroom. Some blocks have extremely strong sunset. The coming EC, Esparina, will make the area crowded. Condo maintainence is just ok and security guards are not polite. -

SAP SCHOOL
For parents with young kids, The Quartz is near Nan Chiau Primary School and Nan Chiau High School (which will be a SAP beginning 2011). -

Great Convenience, future value
The white elephant MRT station has suddenly become very populated. What with an upcoming EC and pte commercial & residential development in the pipeline. The Quartz is right in the middle of this vibrant development. To its right is the Compass Point shopping mall. To its left is the Hougang Mall. It has the best of both worlds. -

Overpriced for a mass market project
Don't see how this is different from the ECs. Interior fittings of the project is so-so. Floors are tiled, not made of marble or granite. Rooms are really very small with not much usable space unless one is prepared to spend $ on interior design/renovation. Design of the entire project is quite messy. Difficult to find your way around. Residents are mainly HDB upgraders, young families and Chinese PRCs, And there's very limited visitor carpark lots. Visitors have to park at the public HDB carpark nearby. Security guards do not actively screen visitors. Main advantage is near MRT. -

Not Worth It
Went to view recently. Lots of China residents and tucked among a lot of HDB units, not exclusive at all. No hp reception at carpark so even if you are lost, u can't get any help unless u walk all the way out of the stuffy maze. and u cant take the lift unless u have an access card. Nothing special about the Quartz except its new. And seriously all the other good reviews must be posted by current owners or agents trying to sell their properties,,very fishy..if its that good, why are so many ppl selling their units? -

The Quartz
I really do not understand why you didn't use the way you came into carpark and find your car, which is very common for someone who are to visit a place first time. It not surpised me you failed to find your car from different entrance of carpark, which I believe a lot of people have similar experence. Secondly, as a professional in the construction industry, I noticed that nowadays, a lot is established developer and architects prefer to use tile for flooring living & bath room rather than marble, which was considered as old fashion type of construction material in terms of maintaince as well as esthetic and uniform, that is even more important for locals. Thirdly, $800+ psf for a 1-year condo near MRT was reasonable, one must understand the price was sole determined by market, this can be easily found in URA web site. -

Nightmare car park
Visit a friend and park my car near Blk 53, but when going home was unable to find a way to the car park. Enter basement via the swimming pool and got lost. Even the security guard could not help me as he don't even know there are 3 car park levels. This development is just like an EC in a remote Buangkok location. With poor finishes - tiles for master bathroom n living room, think carefully before you buy above $800 psf. -

The Quartz
Personally I find this condo very worth buying. It's so near to the MRT yet it is quiet. Many young couples staying in this area. Supermarket and coffee shops are just directly opposite the condo. -
