Avg Ann. of +3.26% — below-median performance vs same-vintage peers (35th percentile of 2004-era cohort).
2 primary schools within 1km (nearest: HONG WEN SCHOOL at 0.82km). Exceptional school catchment — strong appeal for families with young children.
54 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
0.86km from Novena Mrt Stn (NS20) — moderate MRT proximity; walkable but not doorstep.
Rental yield of 2.96% — 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 1.87km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: HONG WEN School, ST. Joseph's Institution Junior.
