Close to so many schools!
This is really ground zero to be near all the major schools and this mattered for us as we are teachers and parents. 2 min walking to UWC Dover, across from ACJ and around the block from Insead! Love the convenience to shops and MRTs. Huge penthouse with private balcony, quiet and good value for Singapore. Management so quick to jump on problems.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Nice resort feel
Excellent location, great relaxing place to live in and come home to after a long day at work. Easy to get around, close to the city, ample dinning places in the vicinity. Found a short-cut to Star Vista which takes only 5 min walk. Buona Vista MRT is the nearest station. Love the high ceilings, make the units cooler and better ventilated .Facilities are decent and a delight.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Potential enbloc project
Hard to come by such large land size projects these days. Excellent location. - near the Metropolis, Biopolis, One-North Fusionopolis, Ministry of Education HQ, MediaCorp, NTU Alumni Club, Holland Village, Star Vista, Rochester Park, Rochester Mall,Park Avenue Hotel, etc. Short drive to Orchard Road. - surrounded by good schools: Anglo-Chinese Junior College (ACJC), ACS Independent, Fairfield Methodist, S'pore Polytechnic, United World Colleges (UWC Dover Campus), Dover Court International School, Tanglin Trust School. 5-10 min drive to NUS. - Walk to Buona Vista & One North MRT Stations. Ample amenities. - NTUC Fairprice located near the back gate - Several coffeeshops (front and back of development) within short walk of 3 min. - markets, supermarkets and shops available close by at Ghim Moh market, Clementi Mall, Holland Village. ** Sales committee being set up now to explore enbloc for the development though it is not that old and facilities are fairly new with recent renovations. A hidden GEM in Dover Rise!Was this review helpful? Report review -

Charming project!!
Pleasantly surprised by the charms and plus points of this project after stepping in and unexpectedly bought a unit here! (Almost skipped this development because of its unattractive facade and age) Positive factors: - location (under 5 min drive to Holland V & 10 min drive to Orchard Rd) - walking distance to Star Vista & Buona Vista MRT station - near supermarkets such as Giant & Sheng Siong; coffeeshops; Ghim Moh market etc - surrounded by many good & top schools (pri, sec, JC & uni) - HUGE land size of the development (can take evening strolls after dinner) - strong resort feel with very well maintained full condo facilities (newly renovated bathrooms near the pools; 4 different themed pools; tennis courts; karaoke function room; reading lounge; gym etc) - ground floor units come with patios/ gardens while upper floors have balconies - ample parking space for residents & guests - posh looking lift lobbies & corridors - responsive MA Negative points: - units need renovation - age of project - leasehold (but we personally felt that its charming character, location, land size & well kept facilities more than make up for the negative points). We also viewed Heritage View next door because we had originally wanted something newer but the choice was clear after viewing both projects. Heritage View did not appeal to us at all.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Dover Parkview
One of the few condos with japanese hot bath and your own private bath room in common facilities area. A little ageing but the facilities and location with proximity to town and biopolis more than made up for itWas this review helpful? Report review -

Great value
the value here is in the flat size because they are old condos. the 4 bedrooms on one level are huge with a large balcony - these almost don't exist any more. we rent now and want to buy because these 4 bedrooms are increasingly rare in the central area and in demand for rental and to purchase.Was this review helpful?

expensive cos it's making money
this is the most affordable property in the very expensive dover/buona vista area. i don't have to go into details why this area is so expensive because if u drive around this area, u'll know straight away why it's so expensive. it's close to 2 MRT stations, the biopolis biz hubs and 2 universities (INSEAD and NUS), plus other schools like ACS, ACJC, SP. Entertainment wise, there's rochester park and star vista. It's also quiet. However, it's NOT NEW. It's a 99-year property and it has already used up 20 years of its lease. This explains why it's the most affordable property in the dover area. I think this is a great investment if u're considering the rental returns, because this property is very much in demand and never short of tenants. Whenever one leaves after the tenancy is expired, another new one takes over immediately - almost no vacancy period. A walk around the lounges and 3 pool areas and u'll find expats from france, japan, korea, india, china, britain, etc. all professionals from nearby biopolis, grad students from INSEAD and educators from NUS. having seen the interiors, i would recommend the 3-bedroom units as they are squarish and spacious. Great for landlords, not so great for families seeking freehold properties.Was this review helpful? Report review -
