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.

Who This Actually Suits

The profile fits car-owning households, long-term hold (10+ yr), freehold / generational hold and first-time hdb upgraders best. At ~852m from the nearest MRT, this property suits households with a car who value arterial road access over transit proximity.

yield-focused investors, foreign / absd-aware buyers and light renovation budget should treat this as a shortlist candidate, not a default choice.

It is a weaker fit for en-bloc speculators and resort facilities — other options likely serve them better. Older site profile in an en-bloc-active cluster — speculative upside if collective sale activates.


Verdict

HILLSGROVE is a 999 yrs lease commencing from 1878 development in District 19 (OCR), offering a gross yield of 2.9%.

At ~$828 psf, it represents a competitive entry point in the OCR segment.
