Forest Woods Review

Forest Woods is a 519-unit development located along Lorong Lew Lian. At time of writing (Oct 2016), around 65% of units have been sold. Other than the smaller unit types (1-bedroom + study and 2-bedroom + study), all unit types are still available. For interested buyers, the show flat is a short distance from the site, right next to NEX.

The project consists of seven 12-storey residential blocks with car park and communal facilities that are spread out evenly across the development.

2BR Kitchen

Cabinets with solid surface countertops and a sink with mixer are provided with the kitchen. Appliances included in the 2-bedroom unit include a built-in oven, electric cooker hob, refrigerator, washer and dryer all from Bosch. There is a mini dining area next to the kitchen, before the living area.

2BR Living room

The living space extends to the balcony, which is off a respectable size. There’s a decent amount of living room space, without the balcony infringing in on it.

2BR master bedroom

The master bedroom is large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed. The queen option above however leaves more leg room and more space to add some personal touches to the bedroom.

2BR Connecting bathroom

There is a connecting bathroom between the bedrooms that come with fittings from Grohe and sanitary wares from Duravit.

2BR common bathroom

The study space to the left of the kitchen, from the entrance. It is a modest little space but cosy enough to be self-sustained and dedicated for someone who works from home, or just likes to work at home.

2BR Study area

The space in your unit can be customized to suit your preferences. You could choose to make the study area an en-suite study or you could replace it with a walk-in wardrobe.

The kitchen in the 3-bedroom unit is definitely bigger, and comes with a gas cooker and hob. Two people could move around simultaneously, if need be.

3BR Kitchen

The kitchen leads directly to the utility space on the left. The utility closet is located next to the utility area, making it a convenient spot to store extra toiletries or whatever else you might need.

3BR water closet

The dining area is right outside the kitchen, overlooking the fridge and parts of the living room. Due to the layout, a table for four can fit quite well into the available space without taking up much walking space.

3BR Dining

The living area is just behind the dining space and like the 2-bedroom + study unit, it extends to the balcony.

3BR Living

The common bedrooms can just about fit a queen-sized bed but this takes up more space. A super single would be a better choice as it leaves more room to add extra bits of furniture.

3BR common bedroom

In the other common bedroom, a customised bedroom with built in top deck beds and study tables illustrates a more efficient manner in utilizing the available space.

3BR Common bedroom

To maximize the space, you could go with the study cum loft bed option. This takes advantage of horizontal space while freeing up more of the room to add things like a wall mounted TV or a book shelf.

Master bathroom

The common bathroom has a wet and dry area as expected. The bright colour hues help to keep the bathroom looking clean but cosy. As for the master bedroom, it is large enough to fit a king-sized bed, and still have sufficient maneuvering space.

Master bedroom

It comes with a balcony too that is similarly modest as the living room’s balcony. That it’s big enough for a couple of chairs and perhaps a small table is enough to provide a quaint spot at home to relax at while taking in fresh air.

The master bathroom is just a little wider than the common one, and comes with a wall-mounted water closet. Other than that, it is identical to the common bathroom.
