Guys - how are you finding Horizon? I viewed a place there for a really good price.. just seems like they're super anal about rules. No balcony access after 9.30pm? Not ideal. Any advice appreciated!

Not heard of any of these rules.... i know that i've been out on the balcony much later than 9.30 though. Who enforces these rules anyway? Not seen anyone walking around being vigilant yet - there's just a security guy at the entrance, same as elsewhere. All reports i've had from Horizon are that it's a cool place to live. So far, so good for me (early days obviously, but i'm optimistic).

No balcony access after 9.30pm?? We are interested in Horizon Towers ( moving in July) and would love to hear more about these rules. Does anyone have a copy of them?

Another of couple quick questions about horizon thanks.

Any idea why it's cheaper to rent/buy there compared to other places? Structural issues?

Is the maintenance good? Pools open? Lifts working? Water pressure good?

Posts from years ago indicated that it can get rowdy, pools/late home. Is that an issue?

Kids playground nearby? Is it kid friendly?

Thanks in advance and owe you a beer!

Try this link out for the Horizon rules - the guy wouldn't let me take a copy so I just snapped it with my phone.

EDIT: Do I get a beer for that?

Thanks Bondo, I'd definitely say that warrants a beer! My husband will be in touch when he arrives!

Perfect! Do you have a number for the agent / person you're in touch with at Horizon? I just tried calling the number I had and the guy didn't speak English. Thanks

Sorry, we haven't actually spoken to an agent yet - we've just been looking on the Internet so far.

Damn, thems a lot of rules....
Is Horizon a short term and full furnished tower? It appears like it like hotel living with the landlord providing one bed, mattress, & bedsheets.
