Avg Ann. of +2.89% — below-median performance vs same-vintage peers (38th percentile of 2007-era cohort).
No primary schools within 1km — school access is limited, particularly for parents prioritising Primary 1 registration.
600 units — ideal scale for liquidity and facilities without crowding. Typically the sweet spot for resale turnover.
170m from Lavender Mrt Stn (EW11) — direct, walk-in MRT access. Strong commuter appeal.
Rental yield of 3.52% — above-average income return.
99YR tenure — about 77 years remaining; some long-term decay exposure but not imminent.
Marginal future-catalyst exposure — nearest driver: Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 2.82km, beyond meaningful proximity bands. Score is low but a forward-looking catalyst was still identified.
