Living in a Condominium (Condo) in Singapore

Reflections Block 1 direkt an der Einfahrt

We live in a condo called Reflections.

Das Moderne Fitness Center

Reflections is a very green and very well-maintained condo with 17 residential blocks, two swimming pools, two barbecue areas, two golf courses, a clubhouse for events as well as a small supermarket and a shuttle bus to Vivo City that leaves Block 11 every half hour.

We rented our beautiful 100m2 apartment furnished because we are going back to Germany after three years and would then have to sell the furniture again. Our apartment is on the second floor in Block 1.

Das Wohn-Esszimmer mit Balkon im Reflections

It has an open living-dining area and an open kitchen. It also has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two balconies. We had wanted a slightly larger apartment, but that was not possible in the area around the harbor front for the price we set as a limit. The apartment is beautifully bright and the successful room layout makes the most of the space. Unfortunately, the windows in the house are not triple-glazed, so you can hear the street - depending on the wind - even when the window is closed. That is a big minus point.

The location of the condo is brilliant, especially for people who have decided against a car, because it offers everything you need right on your doorstep. From here you can reach two shopping malls, the Harbourfront Mall and the Vivo City Mall, in 10 minutes on foot. Here you can get everything your heart desires: clothing, sports goods, accessories, shoes, electronics, home items, jewelry, groceries and much more.

I go to Vivo almost every day. I get inspiration for new fashions here, drink a vitamin-powered smoothie at Boost and then go shopping at Traid Faire, a huge supermarket. If I have to buy a lot, my legs hurt from walking or it's pouring with rain, I take a taxi home. In Singapore, taxis are not expensive compared to other services, so anyone on average income can treat themselves to a taxi now and then. But there is also the option of taking a bus or taking the in-house shuttle bus that Redflextions offers its tenants ($2.00 for a one-way trip) to get home.

From Vivo City you can reach any location in Singapore, as it is home to the MRT station Habourfront (Singapore Metro), which is connected to the entire MRT line network.

Große Yachten in der Marina von Singapur

Reflextions is located directly on the water

right next to the marina, Singapore's yacht harbor and a long promenade with lots of palm trees. The marina has a chic boathouse with three nice restaurants.

We sometimes eat dinner here and look at the Singapore skyline.

Sentosa, the fun island with a huge range of entertainment and beautiful beaches, is also just a stone's throw away from us. You can reach it from the harbourfront in 20 minutes by E-train.

In summary, Reflections is a beautiful condo, with a green and very well-kept complex and with many additional amenities that make life here very pleasant.

You really feel like you are on vacation here, which is why the condo is very popular with both expats and locals.
