Avg Ann. of -0.91% — bottom 9% within its 2016-era cohort. Weak capital appreciation, even when judged against vintage peers.
3 primary schools within 1km (nearest: ST. JOSEPH'S INSTITUTION JUNIOR at 0.50km). Strong school proximity — a genuine advantage for young families.
180 units — boutique development. Lower transaction frequency and limited shared facilities.
0.47km from Newton Mrt Stn (DT11) — short walk to MRT, good transport convenience.
Rental yield of 2.94% — below-average income return.
Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value.
Moderate future-catalyst exposure — nearest meaningful driver: Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 0.50km. Some forward-looking tailwind, but the impact is more diffuse than for adjacent-zone projects.
Primary schools within 1km: ST. Joseph's Institution Junior, Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), Anglo-Chinese School (Primary).
