Avg Ann. of +1.05% — near-median performance within its 2015-era cohort (45th percentile).
1 primary school within 1km (HONG WEN SCHOOL, 0.53km away). Adequate but narrow school optionality.
125 units — boutique development. Lower transaction frequency and limited shared facilities.
1.04km from Boon Keng Mrt Stn (NE9) — weaker MRT access, likely requires bus or car for most trips.
Rental yield of 3.77% — strong income return.
Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value.
Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 2.19km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: HONG WEN School.
