Avg Ann. of -3.08% — bottom 6% within its 2011-era cohort. Weak capital appreciation, even when judged against vintage peers.
2 primary schools within 1km (nearest: ANGLO-CHINESE SCHOOL (JUNIOR) at 0.42km). Strong school proximity — a genuine advantage for young families.
140 units — boutique development. Lower transaction frequency and limited shared facilities.
0.64km from Newton Mrt Stn (NS21) — short walk to MRT, good transport convenience.
Rental yield of 2.54% — 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 0.70km. Some forward-looking tailwind, but the impact is more diffuse than for adjacent-zone projects.
Primary schools within 1km: Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), ST. Margaret's School (Primary).
