One Amber - Tg Katong South/Mountbatten MRT
Can anyone tell me Is it true that the new Eastern Line MRT has a station build at the junction of Tanjong Katong South/Mountbatten Road? Rumour says that the line goes from Tanjong Rhu and take on Mountbatten Road to East Coast Road and Upeer East Coast Road. If that is the case, One Amber and The Esta would probably overtake all other nearby projects in term of pricing. -

Personal view: Not a good project.
I am a resident staying in this development for the past 2 years. Luckily, it was rented. To be fair to those intending to BUY and STAY in it, at least know what you are getting yourself into. Lift problem - There are 3 lifts serving each block. At least twice for the past one year (could have been more as these two times happened when I was home), the 3 lifts broke down ALTOGETHER. This is so strange. The lift system is questionable. I have to walk down the stairs. I can't imagine those coming up. In fact, I saw a man screaming at the security as his family is on the 20+ floor and his mother is old and couldn't walk down the stairs..imagine the frustration.. Finishing - you can see when you visit the condo. The corners and workmanship really don't look worth the price, bear in mind that this project is only two years old??? Interior - its obvious that the unit is dominated by bay windows..This I can't complain as I can see this when I decide to rent the unit. But, my kitchen tap was dripping after my first year stay. Master room toilet bowl was leaking after 6 mth stay. Glass door in kitchen was faulty after a yr.. Transport - Many buses outside the condo. Security and cleaning staff - they are doing a good job so far. And very polite too. Management office - On the few occasions where I seek help regarding my unit, they are not v helpful honestly. Feeling that they are just pushing the problem around. Really wasted my time. My opinion is: to rent is still ok cos not your problem really. To buy for own stay long term, should seriously think twice. -

bad quality?
went to view 3 units of 2 rm condo in one amber.... firstly, even thou it is less than 2 yrs old, can see the wear and tear of the floor as well as the fitting. bad quality? i dun know....after all, it is UOL project. secondly, like some reviewers posted.....a 900 plus sq ft look really small.....master room is small, second room even smaller.....where did the space go to? lastly......saw notice board talking abt theft of shoe left outside unit.....hdb i can understand, but condo at D15? hmmmm..... overall, not worth the price of 1300 psf u going to pay. -

pros and cons
based on my viewing over the last 6 months. pros fh 2 gates for those who drive big land area still new full facilities lower maintenance fee back gate for those who take public transport cons: units facing amber garden will likely face construction in years to come as en-bloc fever kicks in. current partial sea views might be blocked. units facing mountbatten has to contend with road noise, though unblocked views for high floor units -

Overrated.
I have been searching around, have seen a numbers of units there. This is one I would call utter disappointment and not worth the time to look at. -

Resort living at One Amber
Before looking for a unit in One Amber, I was turned off by the bad reviews. However after viewing several units, we bought one and are very happy with the investment. The bay windows can be creatively designed for best possible use of space; same goes for the glass bathroom doors. Location is superb for beach goers as the underpass is just a stone's throw. It is also highly accessible by public transport. For those driving there is another exit on Mountbatten road. Not to mention its close proximity to Parkway Parade where enrichment centres galore. Moreover it's Freehold at Leasehold price if you compare with the many projects nearby. -

Modern Beautiful, Best of Both Views
One Amber has quite a great unique propositions, both for living and for investment here in D15. Made a correct choice of purchasing a sub-sale unit instead of one nearby which cost more and certainly not a freehold. One Amber has one of the best location here in D15 with numerous bus services to town and other parts of Singapore just outside our doorstep, best for my missus who don't drive. For vehicle owners like me, it takes 10-15 minutes to drive to the Central Business District (CBD) where my office is and the vibrant Orchard Road shopping district (Missus Love it), via ECP. Great for expats living as it's in close proximity to established local and international schools, such as Chatsworth International School (East Campus) and Tanjong Katong Secondary School. The upcoming revamped Katong Mall Complex in the heart of Katong Area is just 10mins walk away. The upcoming modern mall will have about 150 shops including a Golden Village cineplex, retail outlets as well as myriad of food and beverages (F&B) outlets, pubs and bars. No wonder it is the 2nd most popular property for the whole of Singapore sub-sale market. Made a right choice and would recommend to friends who wants a touch of East Coast Living. -

Honestly No Regrets
Just brought a unit at One Amber recently, very impress as its quiet and yet very accessible to nearby schools,markets,petrol station and food centres. When the nearby new katong mall reopens in the third quarter of next year, the mall will have about 150 shops including a golden village cineplex with 8 halls, retail outlets as well as myriad of food and beverages (F&B) outlets, pubs and bars etc. I personally love this project and its worth investing or staying in. -

One Amber Above The Rest
Living in One Amber for three months have been really fantastic,a great place to live. I like the pool area cos its great for laps and the BBQ pits are nicely just by the pool for those evening gettogethers... Also the compond is very spacious, has most common facilities and they are all in decent condition. One of the best environment compare to some of the condos around district 15. Even my friends and relatives that lives in other condos like it alot. Lastly its convenient location to amenities and east cost park make a great place to live as its so self-contained. -
