Present scenario
Rental is no longer cheap in S'pore. If you can't pay, then move on. Refer to URA website for a clearer understanding. http://www.ura.gov.sg/realEstateWeb/realEstate/pageflow/rental/RentalController.jpf There's nothing noisy about the construction, which is very far away and blocked by D'Manor. CM has apartment status, so does The Orchard Residences, Scotts Square, St Regis Residences, Rivergate etc. Do more homework and you will know how the way condos are being classified. Optima has condo status but do gauge yourself which is better. To that reviewer ES, no need to go around knocking down other condos in this area and talking up Tanamera Crest, the transacted price reflects the demand. All i can say is Tanah Merah as a whole is a cozy, quiet neighbourhood whilst within walking distance to an MRT, and a stop away from business park, shopping centres and future university. You do the math. -

After 2 y
I stayed for 2 years at block 50, facing landed properties. Be careful, owners are asking for crazy rental increases following agents's advises but I know owners who have their unit still empty after more than a month (level 9)! Moreover, there is now a construction on landed propery side near Bedok road and it will be more and more noisy. Don't overpay (I paid 3.3k for a 3br)! -

Casa Merah
The main plus point about Casa Merah is the proximity to the MRT. While it is relatively new with many facilities, most units are small and crampy, and there is not much privacy as the units are built very close to one another. The balcony is good especially for those facing the landed properties, but then you got to face west sun. In terms of view, the nearby condo Tanamera Crest has th best for those units facing south/south-east, with landed properties + pockets of sea view for high floor units. In terms of convenience for food lovers, not as convenient compared to The Tanamera & Tanamera Crest, where you are really spoilt for choices. Overall, I would consider it mainly from investment point of view, but definitely not my choice for own stay. -

Why pay more?
Stayed there for one year and moved out because of mysterious noise in the wee hours and total lack of privacy. The layout is such that you can look into each other's unit. It has nice balconies but hey, residents are using them to hang their clothes despite repeated reminder and plea by the management office. Really make you feel like you are staying in a HDB flat. Talking abut HDB flat, don;t you feel that it has striking resemblance with the recently completed DBSS at Simei, Parc Lumiere? -

Nice condo and surroundings
Location is good as condo is nested in an estate of land properties. Quiet and peaceful yet all amenities are a stone throw away. There will be altogether 4 condos in this location in future and i personally think Casa Merah stands out from the rest. East Meadows - looks aged, Optima and future condo - too close to MRT. Casa Merah is modern and still has the same good location as the rest. There is 1 more condo further in, Tanamera Crest, which i think is too far from the MRT, at least a good 20mins walk. -

What a wonderful day & night.
Having stay here for a year now since TOP. Very friendly, good neighbors who live within this condo. Many foreign families like to stay here because of mere 3 min walk to MRT, condo facilities especially a huge swimming pool surrounded by lots of greenery. Windy all year round if units are facing the right direction. Close proximity to amenities by walking distance also a + point. Looking out at swimming pool & towards cascading water landscapes in the evening & at night at block 70 was surely a breath taking, relaxation & pressure relief after a day hard work. Plenty of parking lots available too. security gate access to every block ensure resident's privacy. Rare to find such condo now a day with 1K psf +/-. -

Good location but...
Stayed here for almost a year already and only chanced upon this new feature in this website and decided to drop some notes to present a "balanced view" 1) Great location. Near MRT station and yet not too near to be disturbed by the noise. However, not sure for those units which face the Optima construction site though. I think when Double Bay at Simei is up, this will face a good challenge. 2) Bright. Plenty of lights but if you are one who guards your privacy tightly, this may not be for you. 3) Has all the facilities that most condo has and more. Like the spa especially :) 4) Very breezy all year round 5) Quality of the property could have been better. I reported lots of defects that my landlord did not even pick up. Some of them are really mind boggling. 6) Good neighbours 7) Lots of parking space but I still do not know why second parking lot has to be balloted -

The best in district 16
Phew, where do i start..as a expat working here, transport to me is the convenience of using the MRT only about 3 mins walk, this condo is fill with other expats like myself and I quickly made new friends with both locals and foreigners. Other than the noice on the construction of the new development nearby, I was spared the noise as I face the main swimming pool, boy what a great view especially at night. This place is peaceful and quiet except for some dogs barking on/off. Coming back to convenience, I was told of a nearby Shop n Save which I walk there almost every other day to get my groceries, and when I am there, I am spoilt for choice on the local food, restaurants and many others. Oh that place is called Simpan Bedok. Going to airport is so convenient, simply take the MRT (bout 10 mins). However, the sad thing is that come end of 2010, I was told that my rental will be going up as the current calling price for a 3 bedder is around $4200 mthly.. oh sh!t should have signed a 5 yr contract...lol.. Definitely recommended to any expat who doesn't want to pay ridiculous price on cars.. -
