Avg Ann. of +5.91% — top-quartile performance within its 1977-era cohort (78th percentile).
1 primary school within 1km (RAFFLES GIRLS' PRIMARY SCHOOL, 0.96km away). Adequate but narrow school optionality.
52 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
370m from Sixth Avenue Mrt Stn (DT7) — direct, walk-in MRT access. Strong commuter appeal.
Rental yield of 2.10% — weak income return.
Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value.
Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Bukit Timah Turf City new housing cluster at 1.83km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: Raffles Girls' Primary School.
