What Could Work Against You
- Only 4 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.
- Completed in 1995, the development is over 31 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
Buyers most likely to be happy here: car-owning households, tertiary student housing, nature / park-fronting and long-term hold (10+ yr). Parking and arterial road access matter more here than walking-distance MRT.
For yield-focused investors and en-bloc speculators, it can work — but weigh the trade-offs before committing.
resort facilities should probably look elsewhere. Resort-grade amenity stack including multiple pools, clubhouse, and recreational facilities.
One caution flagged here: avoid if mrt-dependent — MRT access is meaningfully constrained — transit-dependent buyers should consider better-connected alternatives.
