East Coast - District

Expatriates choose to live in the east coast because it is away from the hustle and bustle of city living, and the east offers more choices for food and the privilege of having the sea closeby. Some of them select apartments that offers a panaromic sea view. Some of these apartments include
Bayshore Park and
Costa Del Sol. Apart from that, there are also some other that offer breath-taking waterfront river views, they are
Pebble Bay,
Camelot and
Costa Rhu. People leisurely fishing or roller-blading along the jogging tracks along Pebble Bay and Costa Rhu is a common form of relaxation for those who live in that area. Pebble Bay and Costa Rhu condos are around 45 minutes by school bus to the United World College in District 21 and to the American School.

Sanctuary Green are the latest condominium in Tanjong Rhu area. You can view
