Pros & cons
- +20–30% cheaper than the Marina across the road
- +Two metro stations, lakeside parks
- +Lively, diverse restaurant scene
- −Cluster quality varies a lot
- −Parking and road layout inside clusters

Residents say
Residents advise choosing by cluster (A–Z) rather than by district; lakeside, metro-adjacent clusters command premiums.
