Lease Analysis
With 59 years remaining on its 99-year lease, buyers should note CPF usage and loan tenure may be restricted.
What Could Work Against You
- The 51-unit size cuts both ways: exclusivity, but thinner resale liquidity and higher per-unit maintenance contributions than larger estates.
- At 40+ years of age, upkeep costs trend upward and renovation budgets matter; some owners here are effectively holding an en-bloc option.

Who This Actually Suits
This is a strong match for car-owning households, en-bloc speculators and boutique low-density (<100 units). At ~521m from the nearest MRT, this property suits households with a car who value arterial road access over transit proximity.
p1 school balloting families, long-term hold (10+ yr) and foreign / absd-aware buyers should treat this as a shortlist candidate, not a default choice.
cpf-only buyers and resort facilities should probably look elsewhere. Lease-remaining profile affects CPF usage caps — verify against the 60-year CPF Board threshold.
One caution flagged here: avoid if mrt-dependent — MRT access is meaningfully constrained — transit-dependent buyers should consider better-connected alternatives.
