Moving in, working from home and a Saturday at The Creek View
The first week, a weekday at the desk and a weekend with the children: three parts of life at The Creek View that the brochure does not dwell on.
Developments

Water on one side, glass set back from the sun, a kitchen that is its own room. The Creek View's beauty is in how it handles the channel, the light and the order of arrival.

What your rent buys at The Creek View
A furnished three-bedroom corner flat listed at MVR 45,000 a month in August, a 1,300 sq ft three-bedroom listed at $2,400 in September, and a building that runs its own logistics. The value, line by line.

Working from home and hosting at The Gardens
A desk built into every bedroom, a café in the building, visitor parking and terraces made for guests. Two parts of life at The Gardens that a week of errands does not show.
Developments
What makes The Gardens beautiful to come home to
A ten-storey building of 83 homes, a garden at its heart, terraces over the marina and interiors finished in a quiet, Japandi register. Where The Gardens' beauty lies.
