East Coast can be a cool place to live. As what another person has mentioned above, places like The Bayshore is cool, there is another one which is called Bayshore Park (older one), note The Bayshore and Bayshore Park are different
condos, although they are just next to each other.
But Simei,
condos like Modena and Tropical Spring would be more ideal as you can get your groceries and other stuff at the Eastpoint shopping mall and the MRT is all just within 1-2 mins walking distance.
East Coast area is abit lacking in terms of MRT and groceries etc, there are places like Siglap Centre and Parkway Parade (one of my fav shopping malls) but they are all like in the range of ''have to take a bus'' from The Bayshore in terms of distance, and even if you live at condos right next to Siglap Centre or Parkway Parade, there are only buses and no MRT stations closeby.
