Poor Buiding Quality and Design
Recently my family moved into a rental unit at The Anchorage and is surprised to hear the sound of other unit's washing machine and dishes washing clearly. Besides constant footsteps from above unit gives me a headache. Last week my neighbor quarreled and slammed their door. My toilet door and floor shook. Adding to the problem is the air-con box being built just outside my kid's room. I hesitate to turn on the air-con as it causes disturbance to my kid during his studies. I am glad this is only temporarily living for my family. -

Poor Facilities
The Achorage is a good condo but in my view , Satisfactory gym, satisfactory swimming pool, poor carpark management. There are a lot of car coming in to the condo. Lift is slow. Key card system sometime is broken when it rains hard. The gate barrier broken all the time especially when it rains. -

Value and convenience
Stayed here from 07-09. We liked the fact that you can get more space for your money, yet still enjoy a convenient location. Pros: 1. Anchorpoint shopping centre right on your doorstep with every shop you need. 2. Well served by buses and only 5 mins walk through the back gate to the MRT 3. Good facilities, including huge swimming pool, tennis court, refurbished gym and squash court. 4. Quiet (we stayed in block D which is one of the quietest blocks at the back...) 5. Good security Cons: 1. Cockroaches. When we first moved in, management office were not fogging the rubbish chutes and we had loads of cockroaches. Since they started fogging the situation improved, but I guess with an older estate like this, you will always see a few. Some people even tried to tell me this was normal but since moving to another place I have only seen 2 cockroaches in a year, whereas at the Anchorage they were a weekly if not daily occurrence. 2. Very small balcony. 3. The management office was variable in their response to issues. We had a major problem with out water supply but they didn't act on it for ages as "nobody else was affected". One day the entire water supply to our block blew up and only then did they take action! -

Choiced location!!
Been looking around for a freehold property around city fringe for a while. new developments in district 3 have become very pricey and has to compromise with the small bedroom size especially when compared to my hdb bedroom. Chance upon a unit at Anchorage and fell in love with a unit at blk D. Good location, windy and with good size bedrooms. D is sited on the 'hill top' with quiet & serenity around. It's definitely a reasonable and good buy for me in comparision to the very pricey and smaller units in the nearby new developments. I recomend a buy both for own occupation and investment at Anchorage! -

Large units and excellent location
I have been staying at The Anchorage for over 6 months now. I like it so much I have decided to extend my stay here. The unit I am staying in is very spacious. There are great facilities, with very little advance booking required.T The location is excellent,, meters away from Anchore Point and Queens shopping center, Alexandra Village and all the amenities. There are a large number iof bus connections and the MRT is 10 minutes away. -

Poor Construction Quality
A key problem with this development is the total lack of sound proofing between units. You will hear every footstep, every door being closed, furniture being scraped on the floor etc etc. So if there is a large family above it will simply never stop, from orning till night. In terms of sound isulation this is the worst place I have lived, thankfully though it is only temporary. The other issue is the facilities are extremely over used, the pool and gym often being very crowded. Not a place to recommend unfortunately. -

Good location
Good location, except traffic outside the development is not as smooth especially during the 4-7pm period. very good amenities nearby, especially its attached to a mall. Overall condition of the development is above average. Security is tight which is good. However have seen some units internal condition are quite poor. Not sure is due to original developer's quality or renovation issues. Many units do not have great views, especially those low rise blocks. Units facing the mall is noise issues as the road is very busy. -

Very convenient
Location is superb. Given the economic crisis, its probably easy to find tenants esp expats that desire the convenience of being close to town yet pay a lesser premium. Since it is 10 yrs old, the facade is of yester years. However the project is well maintained with a sizeable swimming pool and everything is a stroll away from AnchorPoint. Supermart, IKEA, food, MRT etc One of the few freehold projects around and believe it remains undervalued. Be careful of facing as this is a multi block project. The good blocks are E, D, H. Not too many are non-sun facing. -

Excellent location and amenities
The Anchorage condominium is one of those not-so-new condos, but it is located at an excellent location in the Queenstown district. Being connected (and served) by the newly revamped shopping centre Anchorpoint, and within a overhead bridge proximity to IKEA, the condominium residents/tenants has access to a wide range of household amenities. Even local hawker fare is readily available just across the traffic junction at Alexander village. It is especially convenient as well, for people who work in the city area, as the Anchorage condo is a mere 10 min drive to reach downtown. -
