What Could Work Against You

  • Only 7 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.

Who This Actually Suits

Buyers most likely to be happy here: families with young children, mrt-walkable commuters, long-term hold (10+ yr) and cpf-only buyers. Family-suitable layout and CCR (Core Central Region) location with established school catchments nearby.

For empty nesters / downsizers, international school families 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 freehold / generational hold — other options likely serve them better. CCR (Core 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.
