Lovely jungle condo but amateur management
Tanglin Park is a lovely condominium - green and lush, and rather quiet. With many wonderful features: wonderful pool area (was renovated and reopened in 2014), a fish pond, green parklike inner area with playful stone features that the kids love, a (almost, see below) nice playground. My husband loves to take the bus to CBD, so although there is no MRT station closeby (yet, will soon be) it works well for us.Dempsey Hill is on a walkable distance. Going there you can chose to take the "jungle route" and enjoy the black-and-white houses from outside.This is a condo for people who like kids because they are all over the place. Not so many dogs as some old reviews claim, and the dogs are all well behaved.The units are in various shape - quite many have been renovated only lightly. Mold is a common problem, especially in the lower floors.However, the management of the condo leaves much to wish for - I am not sure if it depends on the owners or the management, but:- there has been five managers in the last one year :-O - something must be seriously wrong!- the guards are changing at almost the same speed, the last decent ones was in year 2015- there are so many thefts happening around that one wonders who are the culprits? Bicycles, strollers, laptop from inside the unit, cameras, shoes (!), somebody even took an e-scooter!- the playground is DANGEROUS and the management still sits back and ponders if something needs to be done! Seriously?! The flying fox has been broken at least since 2014, one of the swings for six months, not to mention the rusted metal parts on the flying fox, the Seesaw and the climbing tower, where small fingers could be cut off! And holes in the ground - seen quite many falling and spraining their ankles.- FILTHY POOL water! Better not put on the goggles! The amount of floating particles is disgusting!
