Low density and tranquil yet a 3-minute drive to the   downtown Orchard Road.

Cluster townhouses share a communal pool and The Compass at Chancery suits expats with young children and who prefer houses with pool and 24-hour security.

A 5-min drive to the  Paterson Road's International Singapore School or Overseas Family School.

A 2-minute walk to Chancery Lane to catch a bus to Orchard Road/American Club.

Newer when compared to Villa Chancerita townhouses 

DISADVANTAGES:
Small master bedroom and a lack of a garden plot in front or back of the houses. 

The master bedroom will not be spacious enough to fit a king-sized bed with 2 bedside tables.

Bedroom 2 and 3 can fit a small single bed. Americans with large dining table and 8-10 chairs will not like the cluster townhouses.

The washer and dryer may need to be accommodated inside the kitchen although they can be put outside.

Small play area for the children, but then you have only 20 families and more privacy.

The Compass At Chancery suits Caucasian families with young children and who just want a pool for the small kids and be near Orchard Road schools like the Overseas Family School and the  International Singapore School.  One pre-school is within walking distance.  It is an alternative to high rise condo living with its crowds and noisy kids as this development has only 20 expatriate families if fully occupied.
