Claydence at 99 Still Road: Boutique Living with Lifestyle, Convenience and School Proximity
Claydence at 99 Still Road presents more than a boutique home in the Joo Chiat and Katong enclave. It brings together the essentials that discerning homeowners and investors look for: private lifestyle facilities, everyday neighbourhood convenience, and close proximity to established schools.
With only 28 exclusive residences, Claydence offers a more intimate alternative to larger condominium developments. Residents can enjoy a quieter, more private living environment while still having access to thoughtfully planned facilities across the ground level and rooftop attic, including landscaped arrival areas, garden spaces, pool facilities, wellness amenities, entertaining zones, and smart-home features.
A Boutique Arrival: Level 1 Facilities for Everyday Living
The lifestyle experience begins the moment residents arrive. Claydence’s Level 1 site plan includes a drop-off plaza, lift lobby, multipurpose room, BBQ deck, pedestrian entry and exit, stepping-stone feature, and several landscaped garden pockets. The gardens are not generic greenery; the brochure identifies features such as an edible garden, a foliage garden, an ulam garden, a kedondong garden, a chin chow garden, a ylang ylang garden, and cascading water.
For homeowners, these spaces create a calm daily rhythm. Parents can return home with children to a softer, greener environment. Couples can host friends at the BBQ deck. Residents working from home can take a short break without leaving the development.
For investors, these Level 1 amenities help Claydence stand apart from typical boutique apartments. A small development with proper communal facilities has stronger lifestyle storytelling, especially for tenants who want privacy without losing condominium convenience.
Rooftop Attic Facilities: A Private Retreat Above the Neighbourhood
The rooftop attic is where Claydence’s retreat concept becomes most visible. The attic plan includes a lap pool, an aqua deck, a jacuzzi, a pool deck bar, an indoor gym, an outdoor shower, an edible garden, and a lift lobby.
This is a strong lifestyle proposition for residents who want wellness and relaxation close to home. A morning swim, an evening workout, or a weekend soak in the jacuzzi becomes part of the home experience. Unlike larger developments where facilities may feel crowded, Claydence’s smaller resident base gives these amenities a more private, intimate quality.
For investors, this matters because tenants are no longer focusing solely on unit size. They are also comparing lifestyle, privacy, convenience and the overall living experience. Claydence offers investors a boutique product that can appeal to tenants who value a quieter East Coast address with complete yet compact facilities.
The Education Advantage: Primary and Secondary Schools Around Claydence
One of Claydence’s strongest locational advantages is its proximity to a wide range of schools, making it especially attractive to families with school-age children and to investors targeting family tenants.
Based on the OneMap school query, Claydence is within 1km of three primary schools: CHIJ (Katong) Primary, Haig Girls’ School and Tao Nan School.
This is a key consideration for families planning for primary school admission, as homes within a 1km radius are often viewed more favourably by parents who want to reduce daily travel time and improve convenience.
Beyond the immediate 1km radius, Claydence is also located within 1km to 2km of several other primary schools: Kong Hwa School, Maha Bodhi School, Ngee Ann Primary School, Opera Estate Primary School, St. Stephen’s School, Tanjong Katong Primary School and Telok Kurau Primary School.
This wider school belt strengthens Claydence’s appeal for families who want more educational options in the East Coast and city-fringe area. It also gives the development a broader resale and rental audience, particularly among parents who prioritise school accessibility.
For older children, the surrounding area is also well-served by secondary schools. The map below shows several established secondary schools in the vicinity, including Tanjong Katong Secondary School, Tanjong Katong Girls’ School, St. Patrick’s School, CHIJ Katong Convent, Dunman High School, Chung Cheng High School (Main), Broadrick Secondary School, Geylang Methodist School (Secondary), Manjusri Secondary School, and Victoria School.
Together, this concentration of primary and secondary schools gives Claydence a strong appeal as an education-led community. For homeowners, it supports long-term family living. For investors, it adds a practical and compelling rental angle, as family tenants often value homes that are close to reputable schools, transport nodes, and everyday amenities.
Everyday Convenience Beyond the Development
Claydence’s lifestyle appeal goes far beyond its own private facilities. Set within the established Joo Chiat and Katong neighbourhood, residents are surrounded by a rich mix of dining, retail, cultural, recreational and transport conveniences.
For food lovers, the area offers plenty of choice. Residents can enjoy everyday favourites at Dunman Food Centre, explore the well-loved eateries around Katong and Joo Chiat, or head slightly further to Old Airport Road Food Centre and East Coast Lagoon Food Village. This gives Claydence residents the best of both worlds: traditional hawker fare for daily meals and a vibrant café and restaurant scene for weekends and social gatherings.
Retail and daily necessities are also within easy reach. Nearby malls and lifestyle destinations include i12 Katong, Katong Square, Kinex, Parkway Parade, Paya Lebar Square, PLQ Mall, Singapore Post Centre and Kallang Wave Mall. For homeowners, this means groceries, dining, shopping, banking and essential services are all conveniently accessible. For investors, this strengthens Claydence’s rental appeal, especially among professionals, couples and families who value convenience in their day-to-day routine.
Connectivity further enhances the appeal of the development. Eunos MRT Station is just two bus stops away via bus services 15, 55 and 966, while major roads and expressways such as the East Coast Parkway (ECP), Pan Island Expressway (PIE), Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) and Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) provide smooth access across the island. Changi Airport is also conveniently reachable, making the location attractive for frequent travellers and expatriate tenants.
Who Will Truly Enjoy Claydence?
Claydence will be especially appealing to family-focused homeowners who want boutique living near established schools. The 1km proximity to Haig Girls’ School, Tao Nan School and CHIJ (Katong) Primary gives the development a clear education-led advantage, while the broader 1km to 2km school belt supports families with children across different age groups.
It will also suit East Coast lifestyle seekers who want the charm of Joo Chiat and Katong without giving up the comforts of a condominium. These buyers will appreciate the rooftop pool, gym, jacuzzi, gardens, BBQ deck and proximity to food, retail and East Coast amenities.
Rightsizers and downsizers may also enjoy Claydence. Its boutique scale, private facilities and manageable development size make it suitable for buyers moving from larger homes who still want comfort, greenery and lifestyle convenience.
For investors, Claydence’s appeal lies in its differentiated tenant profile. It is not simply a small apartment project. It offers a stronger leasing story built around schools, East Coast lifestyle, boutique privacy, improved MRT connectivity and proximity to dining and retail nodes. This can attract family tenants, professional couples, expatriates who enjoy the East Coast, and locals who want a distinctive Joo Chiat/Katong address.
