Summary
Location
AMO Residence is conveniently located in the heart of the Ang Mo Kio District, on its western end nearer the Thomson area. Access to the main entrance on its south is via Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1. Furthermore, the condo is steps from Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park! This gives residents access to the green wealth of this lush neighborhood.
With easy access to the East Coast Region, Central Business District, and Woodlands Regional Centre it’s no wonder this area is becoming more popular among residents.
The site is tucked between a private low-rise residential estate and an HDB enclave. To its west (and north partially) are the landed houses of Shangri La Park, while on the east it has Kebun Baru Court which consists primarily of new 12-story HDB blocks!
MRT Station
The AMO Residence is a 5-minute walk from the Mayflower MRT station. This new line opened recently under phase 2 of the new Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). This makes it easy for residents of this area who use public transportation!
Phase 2 of this line currently stops at Caldecott Station, which is an interchange station with the Circle Line. The whole TEL all the way to Sungei Bedok will be up and running by 2025 before the project completion time! Later on, it’ll extend even further southwards into Changi Airport Terminal 5 where they join the Changi Airport Line.
Shops, F&B, Childcare, Supermarkets, and Banks
The next AMO Residence Amenities are the basic necessities. As the location sits in a mature and well-developed housing estate, it is generally well supported!
There are some neighborhood shops on the ground floor of some HDB blocks at Kebun Baru Court next door. Another place within walking distance for food is Kebun Baru Market & Food Centre. It houses a large variety of grocery items, fresh meat/fish, etc! Just note that this is a 10-minute walk!
Those who drive would likely prefer to head towards AMK Hub, which is about 2km away. This mall has more than 200 shops. Besides, it offers a wide range of goods for those living in the area including a Fairprice Xtra hypermart anchor tenant!
If you don’t drive or prefer taking public transport, then head on down to Thomson Plaza. It’s two stops down the train line, with direct sheltered access from Upper Thomson station. Besides, the old shophouses along Upper Thomson Road are a great place to find local eateries, cafes, and late-night hangouts.
Sports and Leisure Amenities
AMO Residence is a stone’s throw away from two great parks that offer something for everyone.
The Lower Peirce Reservoir is a more rustic, natural ‘forest’ environment that offers you peace and serenity. You can enjoy soothing waters with boardwalks for walks or hikes along the trail to discover hidden gems.
The Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park is a beautifully crafted urban river park. Designed by Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl and their architects have won many awards for their amazing work! The 62 hectares of park space have been designed to accommodate the dynamic process that occurs when water levels change. Three playgrounds, cycling, and walking trails provide ample green room for children. Additionally, adults can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the river!
Good Accessibility
The condo is in a great location. A quick train ride on the TEL to Orchard Road should take about 20 minutes! When the North-South corridor is completed in 2026, peak traveling time should improve too. Just make sure you take Thomson Road or go down to Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 for your expressway connection!
Health Facilities
The hospitals and clinics in the area provide comprehensive healthcare services for residents. There are several medical centers within walking distance, including:
- SATA CommHealth Ang Mo Kio Medical Centre
- Ang Mo Kio-Thye Hua Kwan Hospital
- Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic
- Healthpath Medical Clinic and Surgery
- Ang Mo Kio Medical Centre
This means that residents can get the healthcare they need, close to their homes.
