I would base some comparisons to Kovan Regency, as that was my benchmark in considering Florence.
Shall be a devil's advocate in this post.
Location
Unfortunately, not the best. Side gate walk is marketed at 8-10mins to Kovan. However, I did the walk and it is closer to 12-15mins. Not only is it unsheltered, the walk is uphill towards Kovan. Nonetheless, heading back home from Kovan will be easier when it is downhill and cooler in the evening.
The other side gate (towards HDB) has a provision shop 10 steps (literally) at the void deck of the HDB. If you continue through the HDBs and cross the overhead bridge, you reach the bus stop with 3 stops to Kovan. This will be your route to escape the rain/shine.
That being said, 2 years shuttle bus service will be provided to Kovan or Hougang. Not sure if it is a 'or' or 'and', although I hope they provide shuttles to both. Nonetheless, the shuttles will probably be full (depending how big the bus is) and will need to fight to get in. Frequency is expected to be every 30mins - do factor that in too.
