We visited a friend here and was brought around on the views that captivates the mind.
Lets dive in!
Location:
This HDB estate is on Cantonment road and near to many organizations. Places like Singapore General Hospital, Police and the nearest is a Community Club, which is just 1 minute away. Fyi, Tg Pagar CC is 65 years old this year.
Amenities:
There are lots of playgrounds, on level 3. Not forgetting a basketball court and a kindergarten too. There are also sky bridges between the different towers. And also a Resident Network centre here In one of the towers. And the coolest thing here is that, a living history is just next door; Yan Kit playfield.
Upkeep:
The maintenance of the place currently needs to be looked into. There are places that are much visible, that needs to be repaired and such, but i guess that would worked on soon perhaps. Nonetheless, the views from inside the houses, are unobstructed.
We did go to level 26 garden bridge but not to the top floor due to the timing and hot weather.
All in all, we kinda enjoyed it but we did realise something. Unlike the typical hdb, where many would smile back when we meet while walking, the residents here do not reciprocate your smiles. Probably due to them paying a high amount to stay in here. This probably lead to a mindset shift where it may translates to a higher prestige of living and such.. or an air of arrogance that they exude, just bkoz they are staying with this view. . We wont know and we dont care actually. Just felt that the privilege lifestyle is observed and the kampong spirit here, is not felt.
