” Property Comment” – By expat 60iving January – EXPAT LIVING Singapore
By Lindsay Sherman
From the drawing board, the architectures of Water Place modeled this East Coast condo around their hometown of Miami Beach. Their aim was to integrate services and facilities to make you feel as though you are permanently on holiday. To find out more about “ resort living in Singapore, Expat Living met up with Jan and Debbie, who recently moved into Water Place.
EL: Tell us about the facilities
DF: The building is fully computerized – we even book the tennis court and BBQ pits through a dedicated web site. They run the place like a hotel. In our last apartment, maintenance was not a priority for our landlord. And when we call them, someone who can fix the problem turns on time.
As well as booking facilities, you can control the lights and air-conditioning over the internet. Its also has broadband cabling throughout, so we did not have to have any lines installed when we moved in. One feature tat we don’t use is the optional remote monitoring. It lets you track your kids or spouse when they are at home alone. I sure am glad that my parents didn’t have one when I was growing up!
EL: The facilities look fabulous. How much use do you make use of them?
DF: We have a lot of fun here. We love tennis and particularly the (artificial) grass court which is much easier on the body than the clay court is. The pool complex has a warm Jacuzzi and an aerobic pool with an exercise handrail. It is also deep enough for scuba training. I like the aqua chairs and bubbles mats that are built into the pool – they feel like a spa. There are lots of facilities for kids: water polo, water basketball, and some motor-skills toys for younger children. We have also made use of the steam rooms and there is a masseuse on site.
EL: What about the location: how do you like living in Tanjong Rhu?
DF: It is fabulous. The hourly shuttle bus takes 10 to 12 minutes to Raffles City and also drops passengers off at Suntec. This has been free of charge for the past 18 months. We use the MRT a lot; it’s more convenient than waiting for or calling a cab. We also ride our bikes up and down East Coast Park , which is a safe, short ride away. And the airport is just along the ECP- perfect for Jan, who flies for SIA.
EL: And what about the interiors?
DF: When we entered the apartment for the first time, it felt right. It is bright and airy with a great view of the city skyline and the Straits. The modern appliances and conveniences are a bonus too. I especially love the sunken bathtub; it makes me feel as if I’m living in a hotel. Most importantly, the apartment is well maintained and the tenants, owners and personnel are friendly and obligating. We’re very happy we made the move.
