Nestled in the heart of District 15, Arina East Residences emerges as a hidden gem along 6D Tanjong Rhu Road, offering a rare blend of exclusivity and East Coast charm. This boutique condo, perched in a quiet cul-de-sac, sits about 5 meters above street level, ensuring extra privacy and a breezy feel for its residents.
Just a quick 4-minute stroll from Katong Park MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line, it’s a breeze to get around, with East Coast Park, major expressways, and the vibrant Katong and Marine Parade areas nearby for leisure or daily needs. Its prime location also offers a short commute to the CBD, taking approximately 30 minutes by car. Additionally, the mid-size scale of this development ensures lower MCST fees, making it an attractive option for cost-conscious buyers.
A mere 4-minute walk to Katong Park MRT, Arina East Residences offers effortless access to East Coast Park and lively Katong surroundings.
The design of Arina East Residences is thoughtfully crafted, featuring two residential blocks connected by sky terraces on Levels 19 and 20. Every unit boasts a 270-degree exposure, which means no stuffy, enclosed vibes—airflow is maximized, a real plus in Singapore’s humidity.
Built on an elevated green plateau, even lower-floor units enjoy reduced noise and a sense of seclusion. While panoramic views are off the table due to neighboring buildings of similar height, the clever orientation creates an open, airy atmosphere. And with three swimming pools, who needs a bird’s-eye view anyway?
What sets this place apart is its freehold status—a rarity in an area dominated by leasehold properties. Starting at $1.3 million, it’s pitched as one of the last chances to snag a new freehold unit here, promising long-term value and appeal for those eyeing legacy properties or secure investments. In Singapore’s competitive luxury market, properties with robust legal framework tend to maintain their value even during economic downturns.
The layouts, though limited in flexibility with stack-specific designs, prioritize space efficiency and natural ventilation in many units, including 1- and 2-bedroom options.
However, it’s not without trade-offs. Maintenance fees run higher due to the boutique scale and extensive communal spaces—71% of the floor area is dedicated to shared facilities like sky terraces for gatherings.
Full-suite condo amenities are missing, and stack choices can feel restrictive. Still, for those craving a low-density, peaceful environment with a tight-knit community vibe, Arina East Residences offers a unique lifestyle, blending exclusivity with the laid-back East Coast allure.
