Built-in wardrobe, kitchen cabinet, cooker hob & hood, air-conditioning all rooms.
Facilities: swimming & wading pool, tennis court, gym, 24-hour security system (Southaven 1 has but Southaven 2 - not known yet), playground, multi-purpose hall, covered car park (Southaven 1 only) and barbecue area, jacuzzi (Southaven 2 only), games room, bubble pool (Southaven 2 only), sauna (Southaven 2 only).

Advantages:

  1. Value for money inexpensive brand new condos as alternative to Districts 9, 10 & 11 older condos.
  2. Close to nature - Bukit Timah Nature Reserve well loved by expatriates.
  3. 30-minute bus ride to Raffles Place but <15 minutes by bus to International schools and Science Park. Science Park - may need 2 buses or MRT plus shuttle from Clementi MRT. 4 bus-stops to Bukit Batok MRT and then to Raffles MRT is option for Raffles Place executives.

Disadvantages:

  1. Non-expatriate enclave yet. However, as many expats have <S$3,000 rentals and have local pay conditions, this place will become more popular. Japanese and European expatriates are already in Southaven 1 condos. Decent brand new condo at inexpensive prices unlike expat enclave areas where you get older worn out condos for equivalent rental.
  1. No squash court.
  2. Small gym
  3. Construction activity of Southaven 2 and Springdale still in final stages. No more the loud piling noises.
  4. Train from Singapore to Johore - around 3 times/day; should not be noisy.
  5. Some units faces quarry; some noises expected but they have green views of Bukit Timah Reserve.
  6. Not walking distance to supermarkets.

For Rent as at March 31, 1998:
