Potential in City Square
After exploring City Sq area I like to give my views. -The price of City Sq is relativity cheap compare to suite 123,suite mare,suite owen etc. -The 910 units condo has full facilities with bowling alleys which no other condo have.Spacious drive way and parking lots.Not that crampy as residents use the facilities at different timing and certain facilities need booking. -Near Kallang riverside with beaches and waterfront activity.The river itself will realise its full potential as a recreational hub. -Living here is convenient with Farrer Park mrt,Lavender mrt and major expressway,getting anywhere from Changi Airport to the city,CBD and even further out to the west is effortless. -It has many cosy eateries,shops/shopping mall and conservation monuments. -It is in the vicinity of reputable educatioal institution.(SMU,School of arts,Stamfor Pri School,Hong Wen pri School etc) -Upcoming hospital,medical cum hotel in the area. -As for safety the policemen patrol the area on the weekends night which helps to crowd control.Foreign workers are harmless as they throng the area on weekends for relaxation and entertainment.Desker Road near the residential areas are well and brightly lit.Further more City Sq is few street fr Desker Road. Residents have no qualms about coming back late at night. -

Rental at City Square
Referring to the previous reviewer, I can safely say that there is a long queue of people, mostly expatriates who are looking to rent a unit at City Square. This is understandable as the location is very central and it is close to many amenities and the popular district of Little India. -

A Great Place To Live
Farrer Park mrt is packed in the peak morning,this applied to other stations unless board fr Pasir Ris,Joo Koon or Punngol mrt.Desker Rd is few streets fr City Sq Residences hence it is a safe place unless you patronize Desker Rd.Nowaday in a lot of estates you will see some foreign workers drinking and littering nearby.It`s a common sight.My opinion: commuting to city is convenient and in min thru mrt ,bus or drive.Mustafa shopping mall is 3 min walk and in few months a mega shopping mall be ready jus next door.Eateries is everyhwere and it`s offer a abundance of recreational facilities.IT IS A GREA PLACE TO LIVE. -

Re: Wee Lee
You said: Near MRT but you can never board it during morning peak hour because the train is too packed to squeeze. I say: Same with all prime district properties. Jurong would be a better place if you want to be the first to board. You said: It is not really very near to the mrt and you have to cross a very busy road. I say: MRT is 150 meters only. There will be an underground passage from the station straight to City Square via the shopping mall. If this is still too far, you may want to live directly in a MRT station. You said: The City Square Mall beside it may become the next mustafa.. full of foreign workers and the smell.. reminds me of golden mile complex. I say: This is a racist comment. For information, not that it matters the area is regenerating big time with new art complex, private hospital, shopping mall, park... Resident at City Square are Chinese or expatriates. Mustafa is 24 hours shopping and best prices in town. You said: How can I feel safe for my child in a area beside Little India and Desker Rd. I say: Why are you even talking about it then? Obviously you are trying to talk down the condo in the hope of getting a property there at cheaper price. -

RARE FIND - THUMPS UP FOR THIS CONDO
Forget about India nationals and Foreign workers, they are just everywhere from Jurong Point to Sengkang Mall or HDB ....forget about jam MRT, this is nothing new, from Boon Lay to Raffles Place, you may have to stand all the way....Let's see why City Square is a RARE FIND. We have been looking around from Kovan Residences, The City Lights and The Arte to even Caspian and give thumbs up to City Square : 1. Freehold property in a prime location 2. City Mall just beside it. Where else can you find a new development that just TOP with a mall adjacent to it. I mean within the prime location. 3. Eateries are just everywhere outside City Square. 4. MRT just a 2 mins walk with shelter all the way from City Mall to MRT. It is safe for children and eldery as they do not need to cross any busy road to access to MRT. 5. There will be a park behind the condo and may be an ideal park for children to cycle around. 6. Full Condo facilities, you should have see the Bowling Alley. 7. Convenient access to town, just a 10 mins if you go by bus to Orchard or 2 stops down to Dobty Ghaut. I would strongly recommend for families and young couples. Breeze -

Excellent Deal
City Square Residences sits just outside the CBD. It is adjacent to Farrer Park MRT, just 2 MRT stations away from CBD. This kind of prime location is hard to find. It is therefore assessible to both the N-S and E-W lines. The City Square Mall adjacent to it is a 70,000 sq ft retail masterpiece that will have all the big and popular retailers as its anchor tenants (hear that there will be a cineplex there as well). It also has an urban park immediately behind it. A significant number of stacks (the ones in the middle facing the pool) in City Square Residences were marketed overseas, testimony that it has the appeal for both capital and rental investment. -
