How to read this grade. RPS is a relative comparison of seven scored factors, not a valuation, return forecast or buy recommendation.

TRIBE's 2026 back-test found the composite separated later resale returns less clearly than Historical Performance alone, so the grade should be used to open the factor details, not to close a buying decision. Read the evidence →

Primary School Effect20%10/10

3 primary schools within 1km (nearest: Hong Wen School at 0.49km). Exceptional school catchment — strong appeal for families with young children.

58 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.

The district median is 3/10.

MRT Proximity13%9/10

370 m from Boon Keng MRT (NE9) — direct, walk-in MRT access. Strong commuter appeal.

The district median is 6/10.

Tenure10%10/10

Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value.

The district median is 10/10.

Future Transformation6%3/10

Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 2.23km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.

Medians are across the 70 scored resale projects in District 8 (Farrer Park, Little India). “Effect on score” is the factor's weighted difference from that median, so the column sums (to within rounding) to the gap between 1953 and a median-profile project (6.28). “Scores above” is the share of those projects this one out-scores on the factor. Weights and bands are on the methodology page.

1953 Notes

How these numbers are worked out

Grade B places 1953 in a relative band under the current seven-factor formula. RPS is a relative comparison of seven scored factors, not a valuation, return forecast or buy recommendation. TRIBE's 2026 back-test found the composite separated later resale returns less clearly than Historical Performance alone, so the grade should be used to open the factor details, not to close a buying decision. Two units can still be very different buys: the asking price, stack, floor, facing and condition decide the outcome.
PSF against the district: $1,687 psf at 1953 against $1,935 psf across District 8, medians over 12 months.
MRT distance is a straight line on the map; the walking route is longer.
Prices: aggregates of URA REALIS resale caveats, data to October 2026 (Nov 2025 – Oct 2026). A specific unit's value depends on floor, size, facing and condition.
By unit type: a price range is shown from three sales up; with two, the figure is the median. Unit types with one sale, and sales with no bedroom count on record, are left out.
Past transactions: every resale and sub-sale caveat lodged with URA from Nov 2021 to Oct 2026, newest first; a unit is its storey and stack (#07-18). Typing a unit or a stack lists its sales across the whole span. Profit is the sale price less the seller's own purchase price as the caveats pair them, before stamp duties, fees and loan interest; the gain a year is compounded and shown from one year held. The trend line is the median from two sales up per month, quarter or half-year, the district line from ten. 10Y appears once the dataset runs that far back.
Rent: aggregates of URA rental contracts, Sep 2025 – Aug 2026, for unit types with three contracts or more; the contract list under the table carries every letting on file, including those with no bedroom count, and URA publishes no unit number for a letting. "Most rents" is the middle half of contracts, shown from five up. No yield is shown: too few resales of these unit types in the last 12 months to divide by.
Factor bars: the black mark on each bar is the district median.
Score: seven weighted factors. Methodology published.

What the score cannot tell you

RPS scores the project, not a unit. Floor, stack, facing, renovation and the asking price are outside the score.
Recent price evidence is thin: 1 resale caveat in the 12 months to October 2026. The Historical Performance factor (1/10) rests on the 10-year record, not on this window.
Historical Performance is a percentile among projects of similar vintage (completed around 2022, within a year or so, widened when the cohort is small). A high score is strong for its age group, not against the whole market.
The nearest MRT is Boon Keng MRT (NE9), 370 m in a straight line. The walking route is usually longer, and bus links are not scored.
Primary School Effect counts the 3 primary schools within 1 km on OneMap's School Query (the school's land boundary to the block's building outline, the measure MOE uses for P1), weighted by recent P1 ballot demand. A school counts when any block is within 1 km, so confirm your own block's postal code before relying on it.
Scores updated October 2026; transactions to October 2026. Nothing on this page is a valuation or advice on a specific unit.
Facing decides a unit's morning or afternoon sun, and it varies stack by stack. See the sun path at 1953 for any facing, date and time → The hours count direction only; the 3D map draws the shadows of the blocks around it.

1953 Questions

What does 1953's RPS grade say — and not say — in 2026?

1953 scores 5.77/10 on the TRIBE Resale Project Scorecard (Grade B), which places it 1399th of 2,350 Singapore resale condos and 50th of 70 in District 8 (Farrer Park, Little India). Solid, middle-of-the-pack project. Standout strengths: schools, tenure. Key weaknesses: project size, capital appreciation. RPS is a relative comparison of seven scored factors, not a valuation, return forecast or buy recommendation. TRIBE's 2026 back-test found the composite separated later resale returns less clearly than Historical Performance alone, so the grade should be used to open the factor details, not to close a buying decision. It does not assess a specific unit or its asking price; the price, stack, floor, facing and condition still decide the outcome.

Why does 1953 score Grade B, and what would move it?

A District 8 (Farrer Park, Little India) project sitting at the district median on all seven factors would score 6.28; 1953 scores 5.77, 0.51 points below it. It gains most from Primary School Effect (10/10 against a median of 8, +0.40) and Rental Yield (7/10 against a median of 6, +0.10). It gives up most on Project's Historical Performance (1/10 against a median of 5, −1.00). The grade is a percentile split of the score across all scored condos, targeting roughly 10% S, 20% A, 40% B, 20% C and 10% D — published shares land close to that rather than exactly on it, because condos on the same score always take the same grade. The letter moves only when the score crosses a cut that shifts with each refresh.

What is the average PSF at 1953?

In the 12 months to October 2026 (Nov 2025 – Oct 2026), URA REALIS records 1 resale transaction at 1953, at a median of $1,687 psf and a median price of $1.58M. Figures are aggregates of caveats lodged with URA; a specific unit's value depends on floor, size, facing and condition.

How much is the rent at 1953, and what is the rental yield?

In the 12 months to August 2026 (Sep 2025 – Aug 2026), 1-bedroom units let at a median of $3,500 a month (20 contracts) and 3-bedroom units let at a median of $5,540 a month (4 contracts) at 1953, from URA rental contracts.

How far is 1953 from the nearest MRT station?

1953 is about 370 m from Boon Keng MRT (NE9), scoring 9/10 on the MRT Proximity factor (13% of the RPS score). Distances are straight-line, and confirmed upcoming stations are also considered.

Vogx is the project scored next to 1953 on the District 8 ranking: 5.78 (Grade B) against 1953's 5.77 (Grade B). 1953 scores higher on Primary School Effect (10 vs 7) and Rental Yield (7 vs 5); Vogx scores higher on Project's Historical Performance (4 vs 1) and Future Transformation (4 vs 3).

Which primary schools are within 1km of 1953?

3 primary schools are within 1km of 1953 on OneMap's School Query, measured from the development's nearest block: Hong Wen School, Farrer Park Primary School, Bendemeer Primary School. The list follows OneMap's School Query, which measures from the school's land boundary to each block's building outline the way MOE does for Primary 1 registration. A school is listed when any block of the development is within 1km, so blocks at the far end can fall outside it. For your own block, check its postal code on OneMap's School Query at https://www.onemap.gov.sg/school. 1953 scores 10/10 on the Primary School Effect factor (20% of the RPS score), which weights each school by its recent P1 ballot demand.

What is the tenure of 1953, and how big is the project?

1953 is freehold, was completed in 2022, has 58 units and was developed by KOP Properties. Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value. 58 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market. Tenure carries 10% of the RPS score and Project Size 16%.
