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.

Who This Actually Suits
Buyers most likely to be happy here: mrt-walkable commuters, car-owning households, long-term hold (10+ yr) and freehold / generational hold. MRT proximity is the standout commute feature for daily transit users.
families with young children, en-bloc speculators and foreign / absd-aware buyers should treat this as a shortlist candidate, not a default choice.
It is a weaker fit for short-term flippers (<5 yr) and resort facilities — other options likely serve them better. TOP 2002 keeps the SSD window in mind for buyers exploring the 3-5 year resale-arbitrage strategy.
Verdict
CHARLESTON is a freehold development in District 10 (CCR), with 48 units, offering a gross yield of 2.9%.
