Advantages

1. Waterfront (but not all units have full river views). Blocks 1, 2 & some Block 4 units have panoramic river views.  
   
2. 5-min drive to the Central Business District including Raffles Place (less than 5 km), The Suntec City Shopping Mall (largest in Singapore).
   
3. Big balconies are characteristic - sufficient space for barbecue set and table with 4 chairs.
   Most Caucasians just fall in love with this balcony especially if combined with sparkling green river frontage, creating a romantic water tropical resort ambience.  Most brand new condos have very small balconies, if any.
   
4. Wide selection of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom types & penthouse units with 20 different interior layout designs. Floor areas range from 850 sq. ft (studio) to 6,114 sq. ft (penthouse).
   
5. Rated by most caucasians as the premier East Coast condo to live in. It "knocks your socks off" said one American from a telecommunications company.
   
6. High quality of the interior finishes, the stainless steel kitchen appliances, bathroom accessories seldom seen in other brand new condos.
   
7. Downtown Aspen Heights Condo and the Costa Rhu Condo have good finishes, but the Pebble Bay still has the best flooring material of solid dark brown wooden strips.
   
8. Large expatriate community with many Caucasian children.
   
9. Two attractive assets attracting Caucasians - the golf driving range and two squash courts.  Pebble Bay is almost 90% occupied at most times in 2001. 

   Golf driving range.  Less than 5 condos in Singapore have golf driving ranges.

   2 Squash courts.  Squash courts are not installed in most new condos.

Disadvantages:

1. One bus service (10-15 minute frequency) to the Kallang subway in 20 minutes. There is a shuttle bus to downtown Suntec city and Raffles Place now. Many Caucasian expats consider the Singapore taxi services relatively inexpensive and seldom take the ordinary bus to the Kallang subway!
   
2. Units facing the Tanjong Rhu Road will have view of construction of new condos and sea views for the higher floors. .
   
3. Not near supermarkets, but a suspension bridge links Pebble Bay to the Indoor Stadium's shopping mall and a new eatery beside the suspension bridge.  Pebble Bay has its own mini-mart.
   
4. Rents are relatively higher as demand is great. Suits expatriates working in Suntec City, especially bankers.  Some expats complain that it is not so convenient as living in Orchard Road area as it may be difficult to catch taxis on rainy days and during peak hours. 
   
5. High density living of 510 units may not appeal to some expats.
   
6. Some young Caucasian expats think that this location is too far from the centre of action at Orchard Road or Mohammed Sultan or Clarke Quay pubs!
