What Could Work Against You
- Only 2 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 45 units, this is a boutique development — fewer comparable sales to anchor valuations, and maintenance costs spread across a smaller fee base.
Best suited for
Who This Actually Suits
This is a strong match for empty nesters / downsizers, mrt-walkable commuters, quiet sanctuary seekers and long-term hold (10+ yr). Manageable scale and accessibility profile work for buyers right-sizing from a larger home.
families with young children and sports / active lifestyle should treat this as a shortlist candidate, not a default choice.
It is a weaker fit for yield-focused investors and resort facilities — other options likely serve them better. RCR (Rest of Central Region) location with rental demand profile worth running through our Rental Yield Calculator.
One caution flagged here: avoid if mrt-dependent — MRT access is meaningfully constrained — transit-dependent buyers should consider better-connected alternatives.
