Good Place to Live
Viewed a few unit at Centris. The units actually start from the 5th storey on top of Jurong Point 2. Once you are on the pool level (5th storey), its actually peaceful and quiet, away from the crowd of Jurong Point shoppers. The higher units facing the HDB and MRT has unblocked view and very windy. You can access Jurong point directly by taking the lifts down and access the MRT/ Integrated bus interchange without even getting wet on rainy days. The Olympic size pool and low maintenance fees is also a plus point You can find almost anything under the sun at Jurong Point with more than 400 retail shops. Not many condo offers such convenience. This place is very good for young families who wants convenience of daily living. There are many amenities within walking distance including, library, Jurong Medical Centre, banks, 24 hrs NTUC, cinema etc. -

Location is tops but Noise is forever
This project is a winner in terms of convenience, amenities and quality shops. But fighting with crowds of people on a daily basis and putting up with the constant noise pollution of fighter jets, MRT, buses, cars, shops, people may affect my health. I can live with some noise but too much, too often with no way to turn the volume down means that The Centris comes with a price on my health. I will recommend it for those who have lived in this area, or in the city like Chinatown. I don't think those who lived in the countryside or foreigners who are used to quiet surroundings are going to take to this noise level easily. -

jewel of the west
I recommend Centris for a total "one in a city living" bec it is like living within a city where everything you need from birth to adulthood and old age is within 5 mins reach. From groceries to high fashion and specialist medical services, you name it, Centris has IT. Balancing this complete convenience, you just have to bear with a little noise caused by fighter planes and the multi-racial foreign workers. -

Ideal entry price <S$500psf
Based on the recent launch of Caspian at $580psf and Infiniti selling at around $580 (FH), Centris has to be priced below S$500 to be attractive. Pros of Centris: 1. MRT, bus interchange; 2. Jurong Point; 3. Schools; 4. Safra Club; Cons of Centris: 1. SAF fighter jet and MRT noise (quite unbearable for some); 2. Over populated "Foreign talent"; 3. Over crowded entrance if connected to JP; I would really suggest anyone interested to buy should come over for survey, that will give you an idea whether you can live with the "CONS", otherwise, even if you pay 450psf, you may go crazy especially if you cannot bear with the noise. -

pros and cons
Agree with mdm Yoko Main advantage is that it is convenient and has amenities. But the disadvantages include congestion, noise and pollution. Also, it is 'far too west' and located at an industrial area. Anything above $540psf for that area is considered pricey. The units there were launched at an average price of about $500psf. And the launch was at a time when the property market was bullish. Hence, there is downside risk if one buys too high. Developers and agents are cashing in on the 'jurong lake district' concept. I have no doubt it will happen one day, but that will take a long time. The concept is not new; it was in the 1998 masterplan, but due to the economic slowdown then, the developments were shelved. This time round we had the same thing. So, am not surprised if some of the developments will be shelved or held back. S'pore govt takes a very pragmatic approach. They don't want to build unless they are sure there is demand. The two things that are most likely now are the Jur East Bus interchange/mrt project and Jurong Gen Hospital are they are infrastructural works. the rest (e.g. office, hotels, recreational outlets at the lake) will have to step back till the economic situation improves. By the time everythign is built, Centris will be 'old' and there will be other newer competing devept coming (suffering the same fate as p oasis is now, where years back, the owners purchased units there at a high price). There are other developments there are also convenient, with amenties and CLOSER to city. may be more pricey but the gap may not be that much and worth exploring. -

Noisy, polluted and very jam and crowded
It is near to jurong point and mrt and interchange. Thats all it is good for. Now the bad stuff is it is noisy from buses, mrts and shopper's cars, crowded with foreign workers from india,china and pakistan. Everyday you have to endure crowds, cars and buses. For a family living in such an area, you can never find peace and quiet. How to live in such an area? Do you shop everyday? But u get free noise and pollution everyday, It is going to be very dusty too with all the heavy industries nearby and fighter planes zooming over centris. Tough to live in. -

The one and Only
I live in Jurong West and will pass by The Centris every morning to get to the train station. I see the construction workers working everyday to build this beauty, from the ground. I see it from nothing to now, it has become so beautiful. Kudos to all the workers that helped built this beauty. Situated on top of the future bus interchange, and Jurong Point is going to expand, I'd say it's the convenient-est of the convenient to everybody. Good job!! -
