Intro: The Essence offers a serene, nature-centric retreat in the North that keeps you within a seven-minute walk of Springleaf MRT station 🚆.
Good to know: Completed in 2023, this boutique development features only 84 units across a low-rise five-storey layout 🌳; Located along Chong Kuo Road, the property is a quick commute away from the lush trails of Springleaf Nature Park 🍃.
Practical note: While the low-density surroundings provide a peaceful atmosphere, residents may find that daily amenities and primary schools require a short drive or bus ride 🚌.
