Avg Ann. of -2.23% — bottom 5% within its 2008-era cohort. Weak capital appreciation, even when judged against vintage peers.
3 primary schools within 1km (nearest: ANGLO-CHINESE SCHOOL (JUNIOR) at 0.21km). Strong school proximity — a genuine advantage for young families.
387 units — good project size supporting active resale market and adequate facilities.
220m from Newton Mrt Stn (NS21) — direct, walk-in MRT access. Strong commuter appeal.
Rental yield of 3.49% — above-average income return.
99YR tenure — about 74 years remaining; some long-term decay exposure but not imminent.
Moderate future-catalyst exposure — nearest meaningful driver: Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 0.35km. Some forward-looking tailwind, but the impact is more diffuse than for adjacent-zone projects.
Primary schools within 1km: Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), ST. Margaret's School (Primary).
