What Could Work Against You
- Only 1 transaction 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 36 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, car-owning households, long-term hold (10+ yr) and freehold / generational hold. Family-suitable layout and RCR (Rest of Central Region) location with established school catchments nearby.
It is a weaker fit for yield-focused investors and short-term flippers (<5 yr) — other options likely serve them better. RCR (Rest of 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.
