The Rise @ Oxley - 73 Oxley Rise

convenient. beautiful view. quality dishwasher n kitchen fitting

Secret.

Every single day contruction noise is making me crazy. It is super loud and non stop from the morning.

There is a very bad experience here. Residents are polluted by noise but apartment managers have a bad attitude and are indifferent. It is not recommended to live here.

Greeted by a friendly security. Make my day

Not accessible. Taxi difficult to get.

This is a pretty new estate. If you're hanging around during the day especially on the weekend you will find that there are many real estate agents around, trying to rent out or sell apartments or shop spaces. Not many amenities yet as I didn't see a single store around. The pool and gym are decent sized. Everything is new at this point. Walked past the building a few times along clemenceau ave and saw a handful (perhaps 5-6) houses with their lights on. So if you move in now, expect to have few neighbours.

The apartment itself is alright and functional, decent fittings. Built-in cabinets hide the fridge and washer conveniently. It‘s fairly practical if you’re mostly working, with a great location that’s walking distance to Somerset, Orchard, Plaza Singapura (Dhoby Ghaut MRT), Fort Canning, and Clarke Quay. We moved in during the TOP period with no adverse effects, barely any renovation done in units near us. Benefits of having brand new everything is nice. Facilities are sparse, 3rd floor open air recreational area has a pool and enclosed gym that are small but sufficient. Overlooks the road and synagogue. Pool is a sort of trapezium shape, not a lap pool. The single unsheltered barbecue pit is a pool’s length away from the single sheltered seating pavilion with a table that seats 4. There are some other outdoor seats at the entrance to this area, but they seem kinda mouldy because they are directly under some planter upstairs that drips when the staff waters them. Residents are thankfully fairly quiet and considerate, apart from one person who was lazy enough to speed his electric scooter down the corridor and barrel into us as we rounded the corner from the lift lobby. Everything else is sorely lacking, but you might consider these non-essentials. Management is bad, there’s some staff called Candy who is extremely rude and utterly incompetent. Knocked on her “office” door asking for a defect sheet and she told us off, saying she had only 100 sheets for hundreds of residents and to go photocopy someone’s, ”not her problem”. Our unit’s balcony door had difficulty closing, needing two hands and straining, while the adjacent unit we viewed was fine. The lady in charge of defects didn’t believe us. The crew who buffed the floor were nice though, as were the aircon guys. There’s no lobby or driveway, so you’re out of luck if you don’t believe in buying depreciating “assets” like a car, because if you choose to stop your taxi at the entrance to the carpark and unload your stuff, some douchenozzle in a yellow sports car revs his engine loudly behind you like a petulant child. And your moving van has to stop in the middle of the roadside too, since they’re too tall to get into the car park or some other reason. Refuse chute is pathetically small (can’t even fit 2 takeout boxes small), and flies buzz out in your face when the chute is open so nobody wants to stand there sorting apart their trash, so residents end up leaving trash bags on the floor in frustration. Maybe they assume we have helpers who won’t mind being subject to the flies? As if there’s room for helpers in these tiny apartments. We resorted to carrying out our trash to toss at the bus stop on the walk to work. Shoddy cheap materials are used, the side gate often can’t close properly, has a tacky glossy black paint that flakes, and if opened too widely, used to simply smash into the wall which acquired a dent because none of these geniuses running the place thought of installing a rubber door stopper until almost a year after people started moving in and denting the wall. Workers were bizarrely crouching and hand-painting silver outlines on the drain covers on the walkway outside, to mimic metal or something..? What’s wrong with the original material? Don’t know what management is thinking. There are supposed to eventually be 2 floors of retail downstairs, at first the units were up for rent but now apparently for sale. Been empty the whole year, we moved in late January.
