Loving living at Symphony Heights!!
We love living at Symphony Heights. (We rent). We are British Expats. Before this we lived in Palm Springs in Ewe Boon Road (close to Newton), and then Southaven (in Upper Bukit Timah). Of the 3 condos - we love this one the best. Its spacious, cool, breezy, the people (other residents) are lovely. Its quiet, clean, safe, lovely layout. Nice mix of locals and expats. Its good for couples, families, kids, and singles. Good facilities, great pool. Well maintained (mostly), lovely gardens. We will defintely not be looking to move anytime soon! Very happy residents. If I did have to say one thing against it....it would be the sound proofing between floors above and below are not very good so you can hear most things at night...but apart from that - you do (eventually) get used to your neighbours habits and movements so you hardly notice them - but at the beginning, when you first move in, you may think you are living with them! Of course this sound issue problem could only apply to our condo... -

Symphony Heights
I have been living at Blk 39 since day1 from TOP in 1998. This place is like Genting Highland. Fresh cool air, quite and breezy. You can hear birds singing. The landscape and greenery is beautiful and well kept. This condo is on high ground and if there is an earthquake it will not affect us because of its solid rock foundation which CDL developer had to bring in special machine to cut before it could lay its foundation. You cannot get another place like this even though there are other new developments nearby. It sits on high ground (hilltop). It's name justify its beauty and serenity. -

Very quite
We live in block 39, a bit in the back, and I've never lived in such a quite place, we only hear birds singing! Layout of apartments are good and big, compared to new condos, big living area and 2 storage rooms that for us is really a plus! Management is carrying out maintanance/repair works around the condo at the moment, it is a 10 year old condo, can not expect that everything will be perfect at all times.....With flooding situation, we are really happy to live in a hill-top condo! Prices of units are still very reasonable compared to condos around the areas...... Security guards could be better. -

Not very well maintained
Seems that it's not very well maintained. Saw crack of tiles in lift and pavements, except swimming looks fine. Hope the management will improve on these area. Not sure when is the next repaint! -

Symphony Heights
Was looking for a unit along the belt because my good pal is staying there. So I have seen quite a fair share of units in most of the blocks. First of all, I like the architecture design. But for all units I have seen, original marble flooring and bathroom interior are all consistently badly laid and need some serious re-work. Thus, when buying a resale unit for personal stay, be ready to fork out additional 80-100k for renovation. Facing wise, if u get those facing bt batok hill is a plus, quiet and good fresh air in the morning. Or if u don't mind the traffic noise and dust, can consider those facing the main road, nice view tho but after a while, my friend don't even bother to open the balcony doors. Swimming pool is small for such a development. 2 x Tennis and squash courts are a definite plus. Gymm, suana, security are pretty standard. Underground carpark is well taken care of. One annoying thing is the single lane for incoming and outgoing traffic, can be a pain during peak hours. Price range wise, now pretty high and bank eval seems to lag behind asking price by as much as 80-90k. However, most singaporeans have lots of cash on hand, so may not be a big problem for those. For those wanting value for money, worthwhile to pay attention to surrounding developments as they seem to offer more realistic prices and more or less similar setting and facilities. -

ok but far from great
Train noise 3-4 times a day; pool filled with loud kids; poorly laid out units - while a good size, they do not seem as big as smaller units because of design. Have lived here for 2 years but am happy my contract is finished. Circular balconies not very practical and road congestion due to MRT being built across the street (for next 4 years!) -

Nice, Breezy & Peaceful
This condo sits on hill-top, which is a plus point for condo buyers as property experts always say "properties on elevated land have better value". So low floors also breezy! Pros: 1) Breezy partly due to mountain (hill) air 2) Nice facade - esp. round balconies, color 3) Nice pools - 3 in total 4) convenient bus stop in front of condo 5) generous grassland for children to play/run 6) Safety at zebra crossing/hump in front (imp. for children) 7) Railmall earby - Cold Storage, EAT!, Subway, etc. 8) quite near future MRT Cons: 1) only space for 1 car at entrance - visitors' & resisdents' cars queue up & obstruct traffic along Hume Ave 2) Not very good workmanship of marble flooring (construction boom then, so any untrained worker can lay tiles...) 3) Few visitors car park lots 4) KTM train noise occasionally -
