Avg Ann. of +5.17% — top-quartile performance within its 2000-era cohort (81th percentile).
2 primary schools within 1km (nearest: HONG WEN SCHOOL at 0.64km). Exceptional school catchment — strong appeal for families with young children.
18 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
1.05km from Novena Mrt Stn (NS20) — weaker MRT access, likely requires bus or car for most trips.
Rental yield of 3.08% — 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 2.04km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: HONG WEN School, ST. Joseph's Institution Junior.
