Buyers and tenants are attracted to District 14, which covers Eunos, Geylang, Kembangan and Paya Lebar. It is one of the most historically and culturally rich zones. These areas comprise predominantly HDB flats, private non-landed homes and shophouses. Eunos, Kembangan and Aljunied MRT stations serves the district via East-West Line, while Paya Lebar MRT station is the interchange station of East-West Line and Circle-Line. Geylang is one of Singapore's Malay settlements, and is known for its rich Malay heritage. Visitors to Geylang Serai can enjoy the sights of Ramadan lights and various foods at the bazaar during Ramadan. The neighbourhood is also home to many shophouses and a rich nightlife scene. Major shopping malls in this district are Paya Lebar Square and Kallang Wave Mall, which offer a variety of retail and dining options. Separately, Paya Lebar is envisaged to be a new sub-regional centre with industrial, technological and commercial developments.

As a major financial and business hub, the Central Region stands as the dynamic city centre of Singapore. Spanning 13,150ha in land area, the region hosts Singapore's only UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to many of the country's national monuments, such as the Merlion Park and Statue of Raffles. Although the region is designated mainly for commercial activities, it houses residential developments ranging from HDBs to bungalows. There is also plenty of greenery in the region, linked by 19km of park connectors. According to the Master Plan 2019, Orchard and Downtown will be rejuvenated as a lifestyle hub to include more mixed developments which offer live, work and play opportunities. New housing will be constructed in the Marina South Area with community facilities and amenities. Stage-6 of the Circle Line opening by 2025 will also enhance the Central Region's connectivity.

"This project is located in a very convenient part of Singapore, on the fringe of the CBD. The Dakota MRT station is almost on the doorstep of the development, and amenities such as good schools, shopping centres, eateries, markets, and hawker centres are all either within walking distance or a short drive/ride away. The units facing the river have beautiful views of the landed enclave of Mountbatten as well as views of the sea. If the unit is high enough, you even get to see the islands of Batam and Bintan across the sea. Some of these units also have views of the CBD."

"I lived here for 3 years. If it was not for COVID which made moving and viewing difficult, I would have moved out of Waterbank much sooner. - The noise from the military jets is unbearable. They are 10x louder than normal airplanes. The jets fly on weekdays and Saturdays, starting from 8am to 9pm. Especially in July and August, the jets fly more frequently due to the National Day rehearsals. If you are working from home in the day, it is impossible to live here. It is just impossible to tolerate the loud noise when you are working or having meetings at home. - The walls are super thin. I live in the #XX-01 unit and have an upstairs neighbour renovating in the #XX-06 unit. Even though they are not directly above me, the renovating noise felt as though they were right next to me. Also, when people close their doors outside or throw their rubbish in the disposal refute, you could hear it loud and clear from your home. The walls are really thin and not insulating at all. - Management team is incredibly lousy and non-responsive. Took them years to change the lift tiles and lift lights. They also do not clean the common areas frequently, resulting in cockroaches and small rats. Like what others have mentioned, they disposed some fish in the nearby river just for convenience sake. The previous management team was so much better. - Walls and wall paints are cracking apart, but I guess that is because of the high humidity from the nearby river. It is really humid so beware of items inside wardrobes or shelves. - No tennis court. There is a basketball court which is not used often by residents. Might as well change it to a tennis court."
