Character and demand
Cluny Park appeals particularly to:
- Family offices: Larger plot enables multi-generational compound layouts
- International school families: ACS Junior + SCGS Pri 1km zone for primary registration
- Lifestyle buyers: Botanic Gardens proximity for daily walks, morning markets
- Conservation buyers: Some Cluny plots are listed heritage homes — prestige + tax incentives

- Aug 2025: 3,200 sqm at S$71M (S$2,200 PSF), 2-storey villa, heritage tree
- Feb 2026: 2,400 sqm at S$58M (S$2,420 PSF), modern rebuild

Strategic considerations
- Lower entry PSF than Nassim: Buy at 10–15% discount per sqm of land
- Larger plot = more value: Sub-divides of large Cluny plots can yield 2–3 modern bungalows
- Heritage tree premium: Some plots with mature heritage trees command additional 5–10% premium
- Conservation review required: Before any major works, URA conservation review (3-6 months processing)
