Avg Ann. of +4.17% — near-median performance within its 1975-era cohort (67th percentile).
No primary schools within 1km — school access is limited, particularly for parents prioritising Primary 1 registration.
58 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
0.50km from Orchard Mrt Stn (NS22) — short walk to MRT, good transport convenience.
Rental yield of 2.15% — 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 1.16km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
