Avg Ann. of -0.17% — bottom 10% within its 2013-era cohort. Weak capital appreciation, even when judged against vintage peers.
1 primary school within 1km (RIVER VALLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL, 0.36km away). Adequate but narrow school optionality.
232 units — good project size supporting active resale market and adequate facilities.
0.42km from Somerset Mrt Stn (NS23) — short walk to MRT, good transport convenience.
Rental yield of 3.52% — above-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 1.75km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: River Valley Primary School.
