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.
  • Completed in 1993, the development is over 33 years old — budget for rising maintenance, dated M&E systems, and the possibility that value increasingly rests on en-bloc potential rather than the units themselves.

Who This Actually Suits

This is a strong match for families with young children, car-owning households, quiet sanctuary seekers and freehold / generational hold. Family-suitable layout and OCR (Outside Central Region) location with established school catchments nearby.

long-term hold (10+ yr) and heavy renovation / value seekers should treat this as a shortlist candidate, not a default choice.

yield-focused investors should probably look elsewhere. OCR (Outside 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.
