Pros

Cons

Architectural design said to be similar to London's Belgravia & Knightsbridge apartments. 10-15 minute bus ride to most International Schools. 3-minute drive to Orchard Road or Holland Village. Low density and low rise. Large Caucasian expatriate enclave. Big balconies - sufficient space for barbecue set and table with 4 chairs. Most Caucasians just fall in love with this balcony especially if they front the greenery.  Open pool deck with plenty of sunshine for a good sun tan. 5-bedrooms on 4th floor have bigger balconies. Most new condos have very small balconies. Big patio and a small garden plot for the ground floor units. Large enclave of European and American families.   Botanic Gardens, Holland Village (a popular expat meeting food and beverage area)  and Tanglin Mall are round the corner. Takes about a 2-minute drive. Tranquil resort setting.

The living area has not much view as Gallop Gables is low rise and surrounded by other condos. The Greyville & Flemington blocks are quieter but face the Sommerville Park or Grandeur condos.  . Not near the subway in 2009 but a new subway may be ready in 2012. There are many taxis and executive express buses to Orchard Road and Raffles Place/Suntec City. Besides proximity to Orchard Road and international schools, why is Gallop Gables favoured by Caucasians?   There are many characteristics such as High quality finishes of bathrooms. Big spacious balconies. Basement car park with individual store room or locker for golf sets. Sprawling grounds. Rentals in 2009 are around: 2-bedroom  S$4,000 3-bedroom  S$7,000 4-bedroom  S$11,000.
