The Honest Pros of Lentor Gardens Residences

• Mixed-Development Lifestyle: As a mixed development, residents can expect convenient access to retail and dining options right at their doorstep, enhancing daily living.
• Variety of Unit Types: The project offers a wide range of unit sizes and configurations, including 2-bedroom units up to unique strata terrace houses, providing options for different household needs and preferences.
• New Precinct Potential: The Lentor area is undergoing significant transformation, with new residential and commercial developments. This suggests potential for future appreciation as the area matures and amenities become more established.

The Honest Cons of Lentor Gardens Residences

• Developing Amenities: While a mixed development, the broader Lentor area is still in its early stages of development. Some amenities and infrastructure might not be fully mature yet compared to older, more established estates.
• Lease Commencement: The 99-year lease commences from 7 July 2025, which is relatively close to the Expected TOP in 2029. Buyers should factor this into their long-term planning.
• Distance to CBD/City Centre: Lentor is in District 26, which is outside the immediate city centre. Commute times to the CBD or other central business districts may be longer, depending on transport modes.
