Avg Ann. of +1.14% — but from only 4 resale sales in the last 10 years, too thin a sample to read capital appreciation reliably, so the score is discounted toward the cohort average.
2 primary schools within 1km (nearest: NANYANG PRIMARY SCHOOL at 0.41km). Strong school proximity — a genuine advantage for young families.
13 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
230m from Tan Kah Kee Mrt Stn (DT8) — direct, walk-in MRT access. Strong commuter appeal.
Rental yield of 2.50% — below-average income return.
999-year tenure — effectively freehold from a valuation standpoint.
Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Bukit Timah Turf City new housing cluster at 1.24km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: Nanyang Primary School, Raffles Girls' Primary School.
