  Not luxurious, but comfy.

  Hi Beatrice, Mick - I live in One Jervois and have to disagree with you on most points. First, Tiong Bahru MRT is only 800 meters away and redline MRT is just 3-4 bus stops away. Finding a taxi is NEVER a problem because many taxis fill up at the 2 nearby gas stations. And I would challenge you how many condos are there in Singapore that are less than 1km from nearest MRT station? Only a handful, and people are paying much steeper price for such location. Traffic is a bit of an issue during evening rush hour, but only because of the traffic lights. During rush hour, I never have to spend more than 15 mins in the car to reach my husband's office near Raffles City. Coming from a city where I used to commute 2-3 hours each day for work, I can't really complain about 15 mins each way ... We moved here because we like River Valley, but OJ is one of the few that is still within our budget. Everything else in the area is so much more expensive while location is not more advantageous ... they're either further from MRT, noisier, harder to get taxi, or no supermarket across the street. I agree with you that I wouldn't categorize OJ as a premium development. But it's a comfy place in a comfy location, and I care far more about that than prestige.

  Facilities are badly designed

  Interesting project, but only the view of big units facing the pool is good. The rest are not so cramp and with bad facing. Facilities are badly designed with the jacuzzi pool right at the entrance like some fish pond. The smell of petrol from the two nearby petrol station is also a put off. Not worth the premium price. Overall very cramp project. So far from MRT and the road towards the condo is so jam round 7pm. A nightmare and will be worse with more condo coming up along the narrow river valley road.

  Price is a joke

  I like the property by itself. But it is in no way, by a far shot, consider a premium development. The price should never be above 1100psf. interior space, extrerior feel, material, finishing...it has above average written all over. I last check, price still holding, but noone is buying. I am not surprise. Flippers galore here.
