Tower A4, facing pool and some river views. A small balcony.
A small study room with a sliding door is used as a dining area for 4 people. It is air conditioned and can be used as a guest room.

The kitchen smaller but has an oven installed by the Landlord. The living area is made smaller by a massive built in cabinet at one side, housing a 31-inch TV.

A sofa bed in the living area. A wall mirror in the dining area makes condo look spacious. A washer cum dryer has been bought. Singaporean occupant still sun clothing in the small balcony. Looks quite spacious despite the the massive wall cabinet in the living area.

BRITISH EXPAT COUPLE NO CHILDREN wants a big condo without noisy children. Budget $5,000 - $6,000.

1.15 p.m Nassim Regency 3+1 2000 sq. ft $6,000. Near Botanic Gardens.

#09-03 has most greenery views of the Botanic Gardens and city views.

#10-01 has houses and green tree views but not so exciting as #09-03.

Nassim Regency: Unique green tranquil surroundings.

Tall green trees, pretty bungalows with inground pools and tranquility seen from Nassim Regency condos which is a block of 11 floors, a 5-10 minute walk to the Botanic Gardens.

Nassim Regency's high floors with greenery and city views

Tall green trees in the living room which drops a level off the dining area. No balcony but the floor plans suits most Caucasians.

Nassim Regency kitchen 7th floor, Singapore

Spacious kitchen faces greenery too.

Nassim Regency's master bedroom near nature

Master bedroom with corner windows and above tree views from above 8th floor units.

Also available for rent:
#02-02 faces trees and a large mansion owned. Did not like this low floor.

1.45pm Highpoint 4-bedroom 3000 sq. ft fully renovated. $6,500. 6th floor. Facing The Elizabeth Hotel walls. No balcony. The family area has been converted to a good sized 4th bedroom which can be a study room.

1.55pm Highpoint 3-bedroom. Renovated with floral white ceramic tiled flooring. $6,500. Kitchen sandwiched between maid's room and another area. No windows. However, more open floor plan as the family area has not been converted to the 4th bedroom. It has a big balcony. Looks bright and spacious.

2.15pm Horizon Tower East 4+1 2400 sq. ft $5,800. Original condition with white grey marble flooring, carpeted bedrooms and dark brown long bath in master bathroom. Did not appreciate this unit.

CONCLUSION. The Nassim Regency #09-03 unit was love at first sight as it had a wide green blanket of green tree jungle and city views above tree levels unblemished by bungalows on ground level unlike the #10-01 unit. The latter had a large canvass of greenery too.

Aspen Heights were considered too crowded with noisy kids and it is a high density over 600-unit condo. The Quayside's 3-bedroom unit was too small. River Place's 3-bedroom of 1600 sq. ft asking above $6,000 was too expensive per sq. ft for this couple with a $5,000 - $6,000.
