What Could Work Against You
- Only 0 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 16 units, this is a boutique development — fewer comparable sales to anchor valuations, and maintenance costs spread across a smaller fee base.
Best suited for
Who This Actually Suits
Buyers most likely to be happy here: families with young children, mrt-walkable commuters, long-term hold (10+ yr) and freehold / generational hold. Family-suitable layout and OCR (Outside Central Region) location with established school catchments nearby.
For international school families and yield-focused investors, it can work — but weigh the trade-offs before committing.
short-term flippers (<5 yr) and resort facilities should probably look elsewhere. TOP 2002 keeps the SSD window in mind for buyers exploring the 3-5 year resale-arbitrage strategy.
One caution flagged here: avoid if mrt-dependent — MRT access is meaningfully constrained — transit-dependent buyers should consider better-connected alternatives.
