What Could Work Against You
- With just 0 sales in the trailing year, pricing signals are indicative rather than definitive; expect wider bid-ask spreads when you negotiate.
- The 17-unit size cuts both ways: exclusivity, but thinner resale liquidity and higher per-unit maintenance contributions than larger estates.
- At 36+ 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

international school families and foreign / absd-aware buyers should treat this as a shortlist candidate, not a default choice.
yield-focused investors should probably look elsewhere. 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.
