Excellent property!
I lived here for the past 3 years and it's really been great! The location is very close to the city and near to school/amenities. When you walk around the condo, you can feel it's not too crowded due to its low density and definitely feel the resort ambiance. -

Run down condo
Thankfully I no longer live here. Especially after last year's swimming pool leak and things takes forever to be fixed. See the playground, bbq pit, roof leaks and you'll know why. -

Excellent location,but...
I went to the condo a few times since my brother and his family are staying there (they shifted in about a year ago). The top selling point of the condo is the location (I do not have to say more). The next good thing is the efficient layout of the unit; my brother stays in a 3-br unit and most of us has commented that it looks bigger than its actual size (<1200sf). However, the surrounding is a bit run-down and the facilities so-so; yet the manangement fee is quite high - maybe due to the lesser number of units. Overall it is quite peaceful and quiet, yet close to nearby amenities. -

Professional Guards, Efficient Management
I have moved in for almost a year now. Unlike many contemporary condos, this condo has a resort and chic feel to it. We enjoy lazy afternoons by the meandering pool and strolls around the condo. The development is low-rise and this means the ground area is big for strolls and walking our dog. The clubhouse has a nice reading room in the opulent English style. Surroundings are quiet and tranquil. I don't drive and the bus stop is just 3 mins away. It takes 30 mins to reach Wheelock and just 30 to reach jurong point. Buses here take me to places like Bedok, Bishan, Bugis directly. Bus 77 takes me to Bukit Batok MRT station in 15 mins. There are so many clinics, pet groomers, restaurants and the bakery and coffee shop is just 3 mins away. I go to the CC for Yoga and cookery lessons. Sending a parcel to my sister overseas is easy with post office just next door. The guards are approachable (comments from my guests) and reliable (they screen my visitors). Once, I had a plumbing problem and 2 guards even bothered to come up to offer advice! Management is very efficient and approachable. Mr Lim Kar Seng is commendable for being responsible. The only glitch is the narrow driveway, but my hubby's 2.4L saloon and MPV has nary a scratch. -

Too Expensive
I went for viewing for a few unit. My car almost knocked onto another because the car park meanders and have many pillars. The units are so small and the facilities quite run down. I walked around and around but cannot get to the children's playground. When I saw it, its much smaller than the hdb playground. Worst still I think it is falling apart ! I give up on this. -

High Oak - Resort Style Living
We just shifted here 1 yr ago and overall experience was good. We jus love the quietness and exclusiveness. Just imagine we can even over-slept esp during weekends. The low density and resort style makes the whole environment very cosy and relaxing. Not forgetting about the convenience and good facilities all within walking distance. Most importantly is the upcoming Beauty World MRT station in few years' time. Lastly, it is within 1km from Pei Hwa PPS. One strong consideration pt for couples with young children. -

Think twice
Just shifted out.... Was staying there for quite a few years. Initially was OK. But nightmare strikes. If you contact me, will let you know. Its not trivial. So much mosquito plus recently the construction at the condo site opposite and the community center made me move! Imagine when the canadian school shift and construction starts, it will be sandwiched between two main constructions. I have small children and decided enuf is enuf. I sold and left. -

High Oak
With the up and coming MRT facilities, transport systems around High Oak will be further enhanced, as it is already well connected by buses. (Bus 77 goes directly to Orhard, 61 to Vivo city, 173 to Clement MRT, 985 to toa payoh etc etc) Low rise structure, resort style living. (low density) Good facilities within walking distance. (Clinics, Dental, pre-schools, eateries, wet market, shop & save, NTUC, cold storage etc etc ) Within 1 km from Pei Hwa. -
