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 28 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: car-owning households, long-term hold (10+ yr), freehold / generational hold and boutique low-density (<100 units). At ~513m from the nearest MRT, this property suits households with a car who value arterial road access over transit proximity.
For empty nesters / downsizers and foreign / absd-aware buyers, 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. CCR (Core Central Region) location with rental demand profile worth running through our Rental Yield Calculator.
