Heritage View - More Temporary Housing

We have been trying very hard to find suitable accommodations, but as you can read in past entries we have some issues with at least the available units that we can afford.  The new buildings have very, very small apartments and we hate paying a premium to live in small cages.  Units in old buildings are often in disrepair or lack some of the nicer amenities you can find in the newer buildings like a pool area with water slides, or a covered parking lot.

Anyways, now we have been kicked out of our corporate apartment because they are fully booked.  So we moved to another corporate apartment provided by LMB Housing Services (Heritage View codominium) a bit further from work but still in the center of the city.  Commute is pretty good, but the shopping nearby is limited.  This area is near some big campuses (INSEAD and Singapore Polytechnic) so lots of young students live here.  The apartment is spacious, the pool is nice, and we don't have to find cardboard boxes to live in - for a while I was having trouble finding temporary accommodations; maybe it's the Singapore Super Sale, or the Youth Olympics but hotels and corporate apartments are largely booked solid until end of July.  Anyways, the A/C's work - so no complaints.
