I wasn't expecting much of The Beacon when I first checked it out. I assumed it would be along the vein of the low-end condos (Shoebox-sized units, laughable facilities) that litter the metro. I was so wrong.
Well, not entirely wrong as the unit I got IS a shoebox; however the ambiance and facilities of the condo development more than make up for that. The pool looks great, the gym looks fully stocked, the common areas are inviting, and they have other features that you don't ordinarily see in other condo developments, such as function rooms, barbecue pits, and screening rooms. And as the tallest structure for miles, the view from my place is amazing.
This development seem to be skewed more for singletons and couples due to the abundance of studio units in the three buildings. Unless you're going for one of the admittedly few 1 or 2 bedroom units, this may not be for bigger families. It's a shame because this place is brilliant with kids. read more
