About Dakota Crest
Curtains and blinds at Dakota Crest
Dakota Crest sits on the former Dakota Crescent site off Old Airport Road, with three blocks of 17 to 22 storeys. In an established eastern estate with neighbours close by, privacy layers matter: sheers by day, and a dim-out or blackout curtain or Korean combi blind for the evening.
Dakota Crest sits along the Geylang River and its park connector, bounded by Old Airport Road, Jalan Enam and Dakota Crescent, between Mountbatten and Dakota MRT stations. Its three blocks of 17 to 22 storeys are almost north-south in orientation, with a slight westward tilt on some north-facing stacks. River-facing 4-room stacks get the water view, while the Old Airport Road side brings heavier traffic.

A tip for Geylang owners
Dakota Crest had a 63-month estimated wait to 4Q 2027, so visit at dusk before key collection and see how Old Airport Road lighting and the river view fall on your stack before you choose fabrics.
Timeline around key collection
During renovation planningTell your contractor where you want ceiling tracks or curtain boxes, and whether any blinds or tracks will be motorised, so power points and pelmet depth are planned before the ceiling and carpentry go in.Learn more →
After you collect your keysBook a home measuring visit. We measure every window in the finished flat and bring fabric and blind samples to hold up against your own light. The $50 deposit is credited to your order.
After painting and carpentryTracks and blinds go up once the walls are painted and built-ins are in, so they line up with the finished surfaces. Our installation page explains the fixing options.Learn more →

Common questions
Do river-facing units at Dakota Crest get a lot of glare?
Some, depending on your stack and the time of day, because water reflects light into the room. Sheers or a light-filtering roller blind reduce glare while keeping the view. The slight westward tilt on some north-facing stacks adds late sun, so a dim-out curtain behind the sheers helps there.
When is Dakota Crest expected to be completed?
HDB's estimate at launch was 4Q 2027. Completion can vary by block, so check your HDB account or the key collection letter for your block's date.
When should I measure for curtains at Dakota Crest?
After you collect your keys, so we measure the actual window openings. If you plan ceiling tracks, curtain boxes or motorised blinds, decide them earlier with your contractor so the ceiling and power points are ready.
What curtains suit a 4-room flat at Dakota Crest?
Most owners choose a day and night set in the living room, blackout curtains or blinds in bedrooms, and a roller or venetian blind for the kitchen or service yard. The right mix depends on which way your windows face.
