What Could Work Against You

  • With just 1 sales in the trailing year, pricing signals are indicative rather than definitive; expect wider bid-ask spreads when you negotiate.
  • The 29-unit size cuts both ways: exclusivity, but thinner resale liquidity and higher per-unit maintenance contributions than larger estates.
  • At 34+ years of age, upkeep costs trend upward and renovation budgets matter; some owners here are effectively holding an en-bloc option.

Who This Actually Suits

This is a strong match for car-owning households, international school families, nature / park-fronting and en-bloc speculators. At ~510m from the nearest MRT, this property suits households with a car who value arterial road access over transit proximity.

long-term hold (10+ yr) should probably look elsewhere. Freehold tenure removes lease-decay drag for a 10+ year hold.


Verdict

BUONA LODGE is a freehold development in District 5 (RCR), with 29 units, offering a gross yield of 2.2%.

At ~$1,504 psf, it sits at a city-fringe price point balancing accessibility and value.
