    Jewel of D19

    Arguably the best condo in D19, except for units facing pool has so little privacy. Also the spa pavilion is such a waste. Windy most of the time, transport link and amenities are really second to none. I love Kovan Residences.

    Definitely Good Buy

    Although some of my friends have been holding back on purchase, I have decided not to wait and actively looking for units closely mrt, and have seen quite a number of condo in d19. Realize only kovan residences and kovan melody are truly at mrt doorstep and extremely convenient. I not keen on the smaller boutiques. I have seen a few of kovan res units that have TOP and have offered for 3 of them. Should be able to secure 1 of them. I more keen on the pool view and no noon sun and away from noise. Wish me luck.

    Really one of the best condos???

    Saw last transaction at nearly 1200psf, convinced that market has gone insane. Hall is decent sized, but agreed privacy is an issue with some rooms just meters away from opposite stack. Not a very spacious development. Don't think current asking is sustainable long term at all for such a project, esp that it's leasehold.

    One of best condo seen

    I understand that a few units have just received TOP status and have a few 3 br. I simply love those that are high floor, pool facing - especially stack 9 and 12. No noon sun at all, breezy and bright and of course fantastic pool view from bedroom n living room. I see latest transacted px from ura for 1259sqft is $1.51m and px likely to increase further as the whole project receive TOP. So My husband and I are looking to get a 3 br at kovan residence soon. Cheers

    Best Condo in D19 - Serangoon/Kovan area

    Arguably the best condo in D19 - Serangoon/Kovan area. Just 1 minute to Kovan MRT by covered walkway.1 MRT stop to NEX mall. 15 minutes to City. Wet market/NTUC/Heartland nearby. Design based on D9/10/11 concept. With balcony and planter. You can have your own garden! Brand new with lots of facilities.

    Location location location

    I and my wife keen on this project. We hv also seen a few other projects like sunglade, the scala, even compass height. We realise nothing beats staying at kovan residences. Firstly it's brand new to TOP. Pricing is certainty reasonable compared to the the scala asking 1500 -1700psf and not yet TOP. Some more, heartland mall is so nearby and close to my daughter enrichment Class Hope to get unit here for stay. Thereafter can also rent out.

    Appalled with neighbour proximity

    Managed to view actual unit last week, was appalled at how near units are to one another. You can almost shake hand with your neighbour from some of the rooms. The rooms might as well face concrete walls which offer more proximity. Also, a lot of space wastage on huge balcony and planters. Landscaping is decent, but walkways are narrow. Am surprised at the current asking prices. Definitely having hesitations about this development.

    Concerns on internal walls / layout

    1) I was very surprised that the walls separating the rooms & toilets are not solid concrete but "PARTITIONS". If you knock, it is hollow sound. 2) Layout of swimming pools, gyms and amenities is "CLAUSTROPHOBIC" cramped resort living. 3) The whole development is very close to the main roads of UpperSerangoon, Kovan, Lowland Road and Simon Road as roads are widened.

    Good location

    Been to the showflat today. Liked it very much! The location, MRT, good food nearby (fav Lasi Lemak), Heartland mall, NEX (coming soon), near parents etc. Except the balcony and planter is huge! Do I really want to pay for something I dont need? Currently, heard that 3BR subsale going for 1k PSF.
