"Very friendly neighbours and surrounded by lush greenery. Birds chirping its like living inside nature. Also lots of good food around. The best thing is that the Essence is merely a short MRT ride away from CBD where I work. "

"Love the surroundings without any HDB and tall buildings with a lot of greenery! Neighbours are friendly as well. Management is very responsible and professional when dealing with a particular tenanted unit running suspicious activity that involved police raid. Although there isn't much eateries, the foods around the area are good enough. The only downside is no supermarket within walking distance. "
