What Could Work Against You

  • Only 1 transactions were recorded in the past 12 months, so the price figures here rest on a thin sample — a single outlier deal can move the averages.
  • At 48 units, this is a boutique development — fewer comparable sales to anchor valuations, and maintenance costs spread across a smaller fee base.
  • Completed in 1989, the development is over 37 years old — budget for rising maintenance, dated M&E systems, and the possibility that value increasingly rests on en-bloc potential rather than the units themselves.

Who This Actually Suits

This is a strong match for car-owning households, international school families, tertiary student housing and long-term hold (10+ yr). At ~523m from the nearest MRT, this property suits households with a car who value arterial road access over transit proximity.

nature / park-fronting should probably look elsewhere. Direct or near-direct park/nature frontage adds liveability that's locked in by URA Master Plan zoning.
