Avg Ann. of +3.27% — near-median performance within its 1981-era cohort (48th percentile).
2 primary schools within 1km (nearest: ST. JOSEPH'S INSTITUTION JUNIOR at 0.94km). Strong school proximity — a genuine advantage for young families.
34 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
0.76km from Novena Mrt Stn (NS20) — short walk to MRT, good transport convenience.
Rental yield of 1.95% — weak income return.
Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value.
Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 1.81km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: ST. Joseph's Institution Junior, CHIJ Primary (TOA Payoh).
