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 52 units, this is a boutique development — fewer comparable sales to anchor valuations, and maintenance costs spread across a smaller fee base.

Who This Actually Suits

This is a strong match for car-owning households, long-term hold (10+ yr), freehold / generational hold and boutique low-density (<100 units). Parking and arterial road access matter more here than walking-distance MRT.

For families with young children and empty nesters / downsizers, it can work — but weigh the trade-offs before committing.

yield-focused investors should probably look elsewhere. OCR (Outside 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.
