Avg Ann. of +1.42% — but from only 2 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.
3 primary schools within 1km (nearest: ST. JOSEPH'S INSTITUTION JUNIOR at 0.87km). Strong school proximity — a genuine advantage for young families.
6 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
0.51km from Novena Mrt Stn (NS20) — short walk to MRT, good transport convenience.
Rental yield of 2.71% — below-average income return.
Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value.
Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 1.28km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: ST. Joseph's Institution Junior, Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), CHIJ Primary (TOA Payoh).
