Mandarin Gardens is one of the most sought after condominiums along East Coast despite its old age of almost 20 years. Each unit is well spaced out with large balconies which some of them faces the sea. Most expats prefer fully renovated units.

It is near the East Coast beach, seafood restaurants, Parkway Parade Mall and eating outlets. There is a underpass behind the condominium which leads residents directly to East Coast Park. Amenities such as supermarkets, food centres and shops can be found at the nearby Siglap Centre and are within walking distance. Driving to the city takes around 10 minutes and it is 5 minutes drive to the Changi International Airport.
