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 30 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
The profile fits young couples (no kids), car-owning households, freehold / generational hold and boutique low-density (<100 units) best. The unit profile suits DINK couples valuing CBD/MRT access over square footage.
For families with young children and long-term hold (10+ yr), it can work — but weigh the trade-offs before committing.
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.
