Garden in City Living
Exclusive address with nature at your doorstep. Layout is squarish with large balcony. Well maintained by management. Convenient location linked to CTE, ECP & AYE expressways. Very near to Sentosa and Vivocity (5 mins walk). Low psf price compared to other projects in District 4. Good primary schools around. CBD is just 5 mins driving time. Others places like Chinatown and Orchard Road is just 10 to 15 mins traveling time. Waiting for Keppel port to relocate and underground tunnel linked to Sentosa to complete which I believed will have further potential upside.Was this review helpful? Report review -

The Pearl @ Mount Faber
Nestled in a quite corner at the foot of Mount Faber, The Pearl is a unique development which put it on close proximity to Sentosa, St James entertainment and Vivocity, it is also next to a local HDB estate(Telok Blangah) and one can enjoy the economical and simple amenities. Nice balconies with planters all round the balcony. There are nice ground floor units with generous patios and penthouses with penthouses offering views of the mount faber. Access to CTE, AYE and ECP, MCP is fairly fast. Downside is through. traffic on the road can be a little heavy with container trucks going to the port, but this will change once the port is relocated to TuasWas this review helpful? Report review -

All in one Pearl @ Mount Faber
Moved in with my family last year in 2014 for about 6months now. Love the exclusive 1 Mount Faber road address. This is ideal for nature lovers and those who prefer peace and quiet. Go for walks and runs up mount faber linking all the way to kent ridge park. Listen to the birds and crickets chirping or just breathe in the clean cool air. Very family orientated, lots of other familes and kids around. Love the pool here. Working in the CBD,its a 10min drive away. Taking a bus though, requires a 7-8mins walk out to Keppel road before getting a number of buses, but still takes only about in total 20-25min to get to work. Vivo city and sentosa are 2 bustops away. I love the huge balcony which is great for outdoor dining, however the on going Sentosa gateway construction leaves quite abit of dust outside. Fortunately my unit faces away from that main road, so no noise pollution problems in the day. Walls and windows are very thick, so it's very quiet especially at nights which is essential for a good night's rest. The whole unit was extensively renovated 4years ago by previous owner, so cant really comment on the original fittings, but the layout is squarish with good size bedrooms, high ceiling, spacious living and dining areas. Exterior was recently painted, but some parts of the condo starting to look its age like the lifts, lobby areas and barbecue pits. Gym is small but hardly see anyone using it except on weekends. Most of the residents like myself prefer to run outdoors. Estate is very well-maintained, despite having trees all around. Management here appears laid back and not very strict, which can be good or bad depending on your situation. There is a wet market and food centre in nearby telok blangah or bukit purmei estate, but we do our grocery shopping mostly at Giant vivo city. Parking is ample with two basements and a car washing bay. Overall looking at it's average per sq ft, I would say this place is a bargain.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Awesome Family Condo -- hidden jewel !
I have stayed at the pearl for more than 3 years now. It is an awesome family condo - you can see children, families and dogs having a fun time at the beautiful pool surrounded by greenery. The common areas are designed to blend to the tropical resort theme and the building management is committed to making aesthetic enhancements. There are great shopping options at Vivocity nearby. Connectivity is good with office area as well and there are quite a few good playschools nearby for families with young children. I stay on the road side: apart from the temporary construction, noise levels are very manageable, even with my toddler. In fact, it is almost like a tree house, ensconced on all sides by lovely trees. We get occasional visitors near the window branches like yellow laughingthrushes, mynahs, koels, and squirrels -- simply charming. Where else, except for Mount Faber, would you get such an experience living within 3km from CBD !!!!Was this review helpful? Report review -

The Hidden Pearl
This is an amazing residential area situated amidst greenery at the foothill of Mt. Faber. Not many places in SIngapore where you can be close to the 'hill' and the 'sea' :) It is pleasant to have a walk near Mt Faber walkway. The proximity to Vivo-City, Harbour Front MRT & busstops is useful, but since these is not very close you are not directly affected by the crowds. Unlike other multi-rise apartments which have hundreds of people in the pool, the pool here is relatively less crowded. Any less crowd expectations, you better by a big property in Sentosa ;) Road-facing units can be noisy but the hill-facing units are lot quieter. In short it is an optimal choice for staying close to city/ CBD and also amidst greenery/ without too much noise.Was this review helpful? Report review -

The Pearl @Mt Faber
Do not get units near to the road unless you can live with traffic and roadside construction drilling noise from the never ending road works on underground pass to Sentosa which is reportedly going to last another 2-3 years. Traffic is daily bad as the construction shifts sides right in front of the development. Swimming during peak traffic is bad as the pool is near to the road so you will be exercising and breathing in exhaust - yes you can smell it. Large container trucks drive dangerously fast and furious along the main roads and the multiple constructions make walking to the mrt or vivocity a precarious exercise not to mention the dust and noise. The development needs better maintenance and interiors are cheap Sim Lian quality. Not worth the money.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Suburban Living inside the City !
I have stayed in The Pearl for a while now and it has been superb ! The place exudes the exclusivity of a rainforest / tropical setting with the condo landscaping blending in perfectly. The 50m cascade pool is as good for serious lap training as for a fun dip. The large balconies are rare pleasure for Singapore. The building management is very active and professional in all maintenance. Vivocity and Sentosa are close F&B /recreation hotspots. Mount Faber is perfect for weekend jogging and outdoors fun. The best kept secret however is that you are close to everything. If you are a bus person, there are 6 buses going to CBD, 2 buses to Clarke Quay, 2 buses to Orchard. If you are NOT a bus person, a cab ride to any of these places is between $5-$8 only ! Amenities / ATM is not in immediately vicinity. It is a short walk to a newly refurbished hawker centre/ ATM cluster near Telok Blangah Rise.Was this review helpful? Report review -

trees - but difficult transport
The Pearl has a great garden and great pool area - and also fabulous sized balconies...but it would have to be one of the noisiest places I have stayed in - being right near the truck park all you can hear at night are trucks shifting gears. Also it is an absolute pain for public transport with the closest MRT at vivo city and limited bus routes - unless you are prepared to walk quite a bit. It is inconvenient but a pretty garden outlook and lovely trees and gardensWas this review helpful? Report review -

The Pearl @ Mount Faber
The Pearl @ Mount Faber is located at the hillside of Mount Faber Park, surrounded by lush and matured greenery. It is just 5 minutes drive to the Central Business District and the Chinatown area, and is within walking distance to the HarbourFront MRT station and VivoCity mega shopping mall. Sentosa Island can also be easily accessible by foot, train, bus or car. Schools within the vicinity include CHIJ Kellocks Primary and Radin Mass Primary. This condo is also well served by public transport and is accessible via the nearby East Coast Parkway (ECP), Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and the Central Expressway (CTE).Was this review helpful?
