Avg Ann. of +3.56% — near-median performance within its 2004-era cohort (46th percentile).
3 primary schools within 1km (nearest: ST. JOSEPH'S INSTITUTION JUNIOR at 0.16km). Strong school proximity — a genuine advantage for young families.
92 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
200m from Novena Mrt Stn (NS20) — direct, walk-in MRT access. Strong commuter appeal.
Rental yield of 3.02% — 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 0.99km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
