Avg Ann. of +2.72% — below-median performance vs same-vintage peers (35th percentile of 1998-era cohort).
1 primary school within 1km (ANGLO-CHINESE SCHOOL (JUNIOR), 0.33km away). Adequate but narrow school optionality.
20 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
350m from Newton Mrt Stn (NS21) — direct, walk-in MRT access. Strong commuter appeal.
Rental yield of 2.19% — weak 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 0.43km. Some forward-looking tailwind, but the impact is more diffuse than for adjacent-zone projects.
Primary schools within 1km: Anglo-Chinese School (Junior).
