Avg Ann. of +3.08% — near-median performance within its 2006-era cohort (40th percentile).
4 primary schools within 1km (nearest: ST. JOSEPH'S INSTITUTION JUNIOR at 0.47km). Strong school proximity — a genuine advantage for young families.
51 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
0.54km from Newton Mrt Stn (DT11) — short walk to MRT, good transport convenience.
Rental yield of 2.58% — below-average income return.
Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value.
Moderate future-catalyst exposure — nearest meaningful driver: Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 0.54km. Some forward-looking tailwind, but the impact is more diffuse than for adjacent-zone projects.
