Avg Ann. of -0.62% — bottom 8% within its 2018-era cohort. Weak capital appreciation, even when judged against vintage peers.
1 primary school within 1km (RIVER VALLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL, 0.22km away). Adequate but narrow school optionality.
250 units — good project size supporting active resale market and adequate facilities.
0.42km from Great World Mrt Stn (TE15) — 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.
Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 1.88km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: River Valley Primary School.
