Ignorant condo management
The condo manager & staffs don’t respond to complaints well. In fact they don’t respond at all as they don’t give a damn care. I feel trapped to live here and hope it won’t happen to others. -

No space
Units are too close and the pool takes too much space. -

Too close for comfort
I visited the place quite some time back, overall it's not a pleasant living environment, the building is too close to each other, one can see to the other unit quite clear, curtains need to be down all the times. And privacy issue when using the swimming pool and amenities, almost all units can look at you, I prefer roof top swimming pool and amenities with more privacy setting. -

Tenant since 2015
I'm an American tenant living here with my family (2 children) since 2015. Interior: unit layout is squarish and maximizes space. Miele cooking appliances. Parquet and marble surfaces in rooms and living rooms. No issues so far. Exterior: repainting exercise has been ongoing over the past year and all buildings have a fresh coat of paint. On the point of the units being built too close to each other, I have not had this issue as in my experience, this is fairly standard when I was looking for a suitable development. Condo facilities: standard facilities (gym, tennis, badminton, basketball, table tennis, water jacuzzi, children's pool, playground, infinity pool). Transport links: excellent. Bus stop right outside and across the road. MRT (KAP or Sixth Avenue) both a short walk from the development. Nearby amenities: works great for the family. There are supermarkets at Bukit Timah Plaza, Sime Darby or The Grandstand. Food options are aplenty in the nearby vicinity. 7-Eleven and bars are just down the street. Property management: 24 hours security, issues raised are looked into, facilities are well maintained. All in all, my experience has been pleasant and there is a good mix of tenants in the estate. It is popular with Korean, Japanese, European and American expats. I've not had any issues with insects (fairly normal in a tropical climate). -

Not really a buy
I saw this place because the agent kept on calling me and urging me to take a look. Upon arrival at the unit, the place looks so claustrophobic. The units are build too close to each other. So congested and run down. Paints on the wall of our unit have already started peeling. Finishing is not really up to par and looks very cheap. After that I really had to tell that agent not to call me anymore. -

Decided Against Cascadia and Glad I did
I have done extensive research on Cascadia for buying and staying here. Unltimately, we decided against it and I want to share some of my views, so that others can make an informed decision. Pro: The two largest selling points are FREEHOLD property and the proximity to the future Downtown line MRT station. Con: 1) The buildings are very close to each other. For all the units we looked at, we could literally see into the neighbors living room. So, the only way to prevent that is to pull curtains up. But who wants to stay at a place with curtains drawn all day!? 2) Interior fittings and see-thru wardrobes look cheap and make it seems as if the developer tried to save costs everywhere. 3) There is hardly any breeze going through the development. It all feels very stuffy and blocked up. Developer clearly tried to max out space. In sum, we would not want to live here, nor can we see being able to rent out this property at a good price. -

quality not good
The building to building space are tight and the pool noises is something that is obvious when viewing so I'm not going to cover those stuff. I'm going to talk about less obvious items when you are deciding this condo. As a starter, appliances are not that great in the unit: The Sanyo a/cs in my unit are problematic (according to my a/c guy, only two years old but already need to replace thermistors, a fancy name to call a cable with a $320 price tag (for 4 that needs to be replaced). And if your toddler loves to play with the remote control unit, think again cause it will cost you $160 as opposed to $80 for Daikin ones. Hood stopped working for no obvious reasons. Some problems with the common area design: the pool takes up too much space that otherwise can be designated as walkways. When we walk from our unit at the end of the complex to the gate house, we had to walk about two feet from the pool side, imagine you are wearing your work suit in the morning while some kids are playing at the pool, not to mention the risk for older folks with walkers that may slip into the pool. There are typically water puddles in the path either from the pool users or the rain which creates a lot of hazard. Common areas maintenance observation: Elevator light bulbs went out and typically takes about 3 to 4 days to replace. not sure if that is the industry standard. I saw a pen mark at the lift lobby the day I moved in. It stayed there for a year before it was cleaned up..probably out of an annual exercise. -

Never more
We moved to the Cascadia last year and so far I only can think about leaving this place. For a new project like this(TOP 2011) the condo is in a very bad condition. Many appliances at the gym for example are not working properly since(at least) we arrived last year and besides many complaints no changes at all. The units are stuffy, no air at all and very noisy specially the ones facing the pool. Also, many units have issues with the aircon and if you, like me, have a complicated landlord (and I am being polite)be prepared to spend a lot of money repairing and repairing and repairing :( The visitor's carpark is almost useless since many visitors simply park their cars at residents lots and don't expect anything to happen (clamp). There's no utility room so if you like to have a space, like me, to stock up stuff, forget this condo! -

New Home
We bought a unit here after looking at other projects in different areas. While Cascadia's psf is cheap, it is value for money. It is near to the future mrt, has convenient buses and near to supermarkets. Location in a good residential area and near to top schools makes this project a reasonable buy at this price. Especially when other new projects are launching at sky high prices regardless of their location. -
