Elias Mall & CC has almost everything you need to have daily. It has a wet&Dry market bought over by Sheng Siong, a supermarket, one childcare centre, many clinics for children and adult, a few enrichment centres, hair salons, ATMS, AXS, MACDonald, Nice FOODCOURTS, Community Centre, Japanese Resturant, hardware shop, gaming shops, 2 X 7 elevens, SPA shop, bakeries, and a small grocery shop.
All these amenities are within a minute walk from O@E. I am not too sure why some forummers love to lambast this condo. It is affordable and all the fittings given as of now less the kitchen sink(SIMS) are more than good quality. All taps used are made in germany, branded HANSA. The tiles are given as Homo/parquet but i believe for such a place it is worth the price i paid. No more can you find new Private Condo at this kind of pricing close to EC. Even some 5 years EC in some even more ULU place with no MALLS nearby are selling $750K for a 3bedder.
For those WARNING the risk about O@E, i truly hope you guys dont be my neighbours coz you guys are TRULY SHORT SIGHTED. I sold my 3 yr old condo in Jurong for $1M to buy one in Pasir Ris shows what a GEM O@E is. I just love pasir ris.
Nothing can beat being near to a beach. Where in Singapore can a beachfront condo be worth $600-700 psf pricing. Please do your maths. Condo owners hardly take MRT, if we need to take MRT might as well lived in HDB. I drive to work, even my old condo near to MRT within 3 mins walk i still drive. If you take MRT, dont buy O@E. Even if you need to walk to MRT, the walk from OASIS is a nice brisk walk of 9 mins (850m) mostly sheltered all the way till the road to cross over to MRT STN. Furthermore, O@E has ferry bus service for 2 years. Maintenance fees are cheaper than all condo in the vicinity.
It is not an issue at all. I surveyed the area many times. Whether you choose Livia, R G, E G or Oasis, the choice is clear. Pasir Ris is getting more and more valuable and alot more projects are coming here. The land price will never ever be cheap again. You are likely to see the pricing at $800psf soon. There is also a new sport & recreation complex being built as of now (2011 end) and more developments are coming to Pasir Ris that is not disclose by gov. Not to forget, a DPM is MP of Pasir Ris West.
I had never lost money in properties. Oasis@Elias is definitely a great buy. Less congested, Clean Air, Less Crowded, Leisure laid back, DOWNTOWN EAST, Pasir Ris BEACH, PARKS, Gallop Stable, Schools (UWC, SUTD, JC), Pets Hotels & Farms, Fish Farmways, Changi MotoSport Hub, Changi Airport Terminals, EXPO, Giant, IKEA, MEGACOURTS and many MALLS (Whitesands, Tampines MALL, ONE, CenSQ).
I think Pasir Ris is one place that is the less crowded than anywhere else before the immigration flood gates are opened and everywhere is jammed packed with bangas and who knows where they are from?
In short, do you maths, check the area closely, survey all amenities and believe in your judgement and not some HDB dwellers who never stayed in a condo but give lots of shitty comments.
