Avg Ann. of +2.99% — near-median performance within its 1999-era cohort (41th percentile).
3 primary schools within 1km (nearest: ANGLO-CHINESE SCHOOL (PRIMARY) at 0.39km). Strong school proximity — a genuine advantage for young families.
23 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
0.49km from Newton Mrt Stn (DT11) — short walk to MRT, good transport convenience.
Rental yield of 2.86% — below-average income return.
Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value.
Moderate future-catalyst exposure — nearest meaningful driver: Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 0.59km. Some forward-looking tailwind, but the impact is more diffuse than for adjacent-zone projects.
