A 5-minute walk to the Toa Payoh subway and 3 stops to Orchard subway. Rent not as high as downtown condos, yet you are near downtown within 5 minutes by subway ride.
A vibrant town with at least 5 McDonald's!

Formerly known as "The Chicago of Singapore" but no more triads and mobsters in sight.

The French School is within a 10-minute bus ride.
French families and single expats working in Thomson Road or Novena area and are on local pay terms will be interested in this new condo.

Some Caucasian expatriates dislike the high density, pre-fabricated slab block condos. Others dislike the road facing units and the nearby HDB apartments which almost encircle the Trellis Towers. Toa Payoh is the oldest HDB housing estate in Singapore and the highly built up areas are to be expected. Rentals are lower though.

The location is surrounded by high rise apartments and there is a much higher percentage of Singaporeans staying in Trellis Towers and Oleander Towers compared to downtown condos. Rents are much lower than the latter. The advantage is proximity to the subway and downtown and more younger Caucasian expatriates are seen residing in this Trellis Towers and Oleander Towers in 2001.

Case study: Abrupt cancellation by expatriates.

"Blame it on the crazy ang mo, blame it on the crazy ang mo." insisted the Caucasian expat when the co-broking realtor was shouting at the me for over 15 minutes via the handphone for cancelling the house-viewing appointment of the Leonie Garden apartment.

No matter how often Realtor James apologised, she would repeat her angry scolding for 10 minutes. The crazy ang mo (slang for Caucasian) could hear the anger as the Ericsson T18s mobile phone seemed to be particularly sensitive and he was trying to deflect the anger by putting the blame on Caucasian.

Of course, I did not take up his offer. It was a hot seat in the car as I was driving. It was fortunate that Realtor James was assisting me to answer calls.
No co-broking realtors will like to cancel scheduled appointments made. In this rental business, realtors representing the Owner will sometimes encounter no shows, delays and last-minute cancellations. Sometimes, the expat had decided on a unit and would not want to spend time seeing others. Last minute cancellations had to be made.

I had one or two expats who simply disappeared when I went to the serviced apartment to pick them up. They might have contacted other realtors or gone shopping.

Co-broking agents and owners:
Please understand the nature of this business and be cool. Your weekends are precious to you and every effort is made to ensure that appointments are not cancelled. We at Asia USA Realty apologise for the inconvenience caused.
