Avg Ann. of +1.55% — below-median performance vs same-vintage peers (32th percentile of 2009-era cohort).
3 primary schools within 1km (nearest: ST. JOSEPH'S INSTITUTION JUNIOR at 0.51km). Strong school proximity — a genuine advantage for young families.
49 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
390m from Novena Mrt Stn (NS20) — direct, walk-in MRT access. Strong commuter appeal.
Rental yield of 2.72% — 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 0.68km. 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 (Primary), Anglo-Chinese School (Junior).
