Waking up to views of trees instead of concrete blocks of buildings – that is how a day starts in a leafy corner of Singapore’s north.
Tucked between Ang Mo Kio and Sembawang, Lentor as long been known for its verdant surroundings and low-rise estates – and as it slowly transforms into one of the north’s most vibrant residential enclaves, that character has largely been preserved.
Lentor Gardens Residences is part of that transformation. Developed by Kingsford Lentor Project Pte Ltd and sited along Lentor Gardens, the development backs directly onto Lentor Hillock Park – with many of its 502 units enjoying views of the park, the landscaped pool, the surrounding landed estate or the Lower Seletar Reservoir, while selected units offer unobstructed views stretching all the way to Thomson Nature Park.
“Virtually all sides of the plot have orientation towards greenery and nature – either of the Lentor Hillock Park or unblocked views of the Thomson Nature Park overlooking landed homes in Teacher’s Estate,” notes Kelvin Fong, chief executive office of PropNex. “In a relatively densely built-up country like Singapore, such properties are few and far between.”
Nearly half of the 502 units at Lentor Gardens Residences face either Hillock Park or the surrounding landed estate, with views that stretch unobstructed to Thomson Nature Park.
The appeal goes beyond aesthetics. “Parks are increasingly important to buyers as more people recognise the benefits of living near them,” says Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA Singapore. “In addition to providing recreational opportunities and improving mental well-being, green spaces help mitigate the effects of climate change by lowering surrounding temperatures.”
