Secluded yet well connected
Good location, especially with several public buses and the Thomson East Coast MRT right outside the condo. Next to the Bishan park and walking distance to Pierce Reservoir for outdoor activities. Many eateries along Thomson, Ang Mo Kio and Bishan. Nearby Thomson Plaza along the same TEL line and Bishan J8 by bus. Close to many top schools. Interior design is well aged but the exterior holds up well.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Is it worth the pain?
From my own personal experience as a resident here, I can tell you the way the place is managed is absolutely ridiculous. It all stems from the management, who are a small team of 4-5 arrogant, snobby, and power-wielding office staff. They know exactly the control and power they have, and they will flaunt it in your face like a huge middle finger. If you are ever considering buying a unit here, think twice. Your headaches start from the moment you move in. You will be bombarded with approval forms, which they will take their own sweet time to process, and limited time to move and clear your stuff. You will also be greeted with a ridiculous deposit fee ($1000 min.) just for moving in, to guarantee any kind of damages that may be incurred in the moving-in process. This is only the start.Was this review helpful? Report review -

The Gardens At Bishan
Great value for its location. Condo is well maintained for its age. Good facilities with low monthly maintenance. Upcoming MRT station is just next to the estate.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Prices hold up quite well for a 17 year old
Prices hold up quite well for a 17 year old 99 leasehold at about $1000-$1100psf. To some extent, it is a slf contained condo with its own shops and basic service providers.Was this review helpful? Report review -

It's like a holiday resort
Amongst the other estates in the area, The Gardens at Bishan definitely stands out in terms of architecture distinctiveness and resort feel. Looking at it either from a distance or within the compound gives one a soothing feel, which to me is one of the important aspects when choosing a place you call home.Amenities are more than adequate with some not commonly found in other developments like the kids play pool which is a playground in a pool, a small grass maze and ample BBQ pits for residents. Without huge balconies like newer developments, the actual living space is bigger. Now that's the next reason why I chose this place.However, like all things, there are areas which might be a concern to some. The pool nearer to Block 9 has a water fountain which practically operates whole day. If your unit faces this part of the pool, it's quite challenging when you want to enjoy a afternoon nap. Of course, for those who are having some fun in the pool, this water streaming down will be much enjoyed. No card controls at the block lobbies means anyone that gained access to the estate can go straight up to your front door. I am not too worried about this though as I grew up in a HDB estate. Build quality in the units are pretty decent. Marble flooring and parquet are excellent. Can't say much about the kitchen and toilet tiles though as these are not to my liking. Old design kitchen cabinets and kitchen sink are also a little upsetting. Tiny laundry area with odd shaped parapet means a little creativity is required on how to sun the laundry. No issue if one uses a dryer I suppose. Ample parking either on ground level or basement carpark for residents and visitors. Generally clean and airy as well unlike some estates with dark basement with musky stench. Overall, I think this place is worth the buy/rent. But each person has their own preferences and expectations, hence my views are pretty much from my own point of view. Lastly, MRT completion in 2020!!Was this review helpful? Report review -

Great for families, with plenty of facilities
Having owned and stayed in this place between 2009 and 2015, I would highly recommend it for families with young children.Some reasons why you'll love this estate:1. Abundance of facilities: 2 adult pools, 1 kids pool, 2 function rooms, squash courts, half basketball court, mini-mart, estate bus to Bishan MRT and the list goes on.2. Large estate size so there's plenty of space for your kids to run around.3. Walking distance to Ai Tong Primary.4. Walking distance to Bishan Park.5. Future Bright Hill MRT station at your doorstep.6. The design of the estate ages well compared to others, and the estate is also relatively well maintained despite its age.7. Even though there are around 700 units, the estate is surprisingly peaceful and quiet in the evenings. Some things to note:1. It's true that traffic can be bad during Vesak Day and the Lunar 7th month. However, just drive out towards Upper Thomson, instead of Bishan/AMK and you'll be fine.2. Surface parking lots for visitors near Block 9 are constantly taken up by residents. Visitors would end up parking at Blocks 1 and 3, which can be a fair bit of a walk.3. Unlike many condos, there are no access controls for the lifts. Hence, anyone can come up to your unit once they're in the estate.4. The security guards do a good job generally but they can be a little lax when in comes to restricting foot access into the estate. I've walked into the estate numerous times without being asked to prove my resident status. Couple this with my earlier point and it might be a cause for concern.5. Some people might be concerned with the noise from neighbouring schools. However, the schools have been extremely considerate and I've personally never felt annoyed by the school events.6. On the other hand, since there are many families with young children in the estate, the screaming and shouting on weekends at the pools can be rather vexing, especially if you have a newborn who naps in the afternoons.Was this review helpful?

My 3br is spacious with yard and utility room. where to find such layout in new project? I also appreciate security guards' service. I feel very safe staying in this estate.Was this review helpful?
