Avg Ann. of +5.51% — but from only 3 resale sales in the last 10 years, too thin a sample to read capital appreciation reliably, so the score is discounted toward the cohort average.
2 primary schools within 1km (nearest: XINGHUA PRIMARY SCHOOL at 0.63km). Exceptional school catchment — strong appeal for families with young children.
6 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
380m from Kovan Mrt Stn (NE13) — direct, walk-in MRT access. Strong commuter appeal.
Rental yield of 3.30% — above-average income return.
Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value.
Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Hougang MRT CRL interchange (CR8, CRL1) at 1.05km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: Xinghua Primary School, HOLY Innocents' Primary School.
