Braddell View Review — Bishan / Ang Mo Kio · D20
HuatScore: 72/100 — Solid Choice!
Is Braddell View a good buy?
HuatScore rates Braddell View 72/100 — a "Solid Choice!" verdict. That makes it a solid buy for value-focused buyers comfortable with the location tradeoff and investors chasing a workable ~5.5% yield. Strongest card: Both anchors locked in. Main watch-out: Thin future upgrader pool. Pricing is reasonable for the location at current market.

What works in its favour
- Both anchors locked in: 229m to MARYMOUNT CONVENT SCHOOL and 430m (~5-min walk) to Caldecott MRT (Exit 2). Strictly within the P1 1km zone, plus walkable to the nearest MRT entrance. This is the non-negotiable demand anchor — kiasu parents AND yield-chasing investors are both your buyers.
- Sensible price gap: Launch PSF only +7% above local resale benchmark. Headroom for capital appreciation intact.
- Hot resale demand: Demand pulse 87/100 — 26 resales in the last 12 months. Units turn over fast; easy to find buyers when you exit.
- Tight new-launch competition: Only 1 active private launch in your district — scarcity supports resale liquidity and pricing.
What to watch out for
- Thin future upgrader pool: Live count: 0 HDB blocks within 2km cross the 5-year MOP between 2025 and 2028 (of 519 HDB blocks total within 2km), and 4 nearby BTOs (incl. Toa Payoh West (Caldecott) BTO, ~2031) add a fresh upgrader wave from ~2036. Narrow pool to absorb your resale — demand leans more on private-market churn here.
Who Braddell View suits
- Value-focused buyers comfortable with the location tradeoff
- Yield investors — ~5.5% gross is workable; favour larger unit types
- Forward-looking buyers comfortable waiting for precinct transformation to deliver
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers hunting deep relative value — the market has already priced in most of the story
- Short-term flippers — stamp duty + agent fees demand a 5-year minimum hold
- Buyers wanting a guaranteed top-tier primary within 1km walking distance

#4 of 38 condos in D20 for resale volume — this one moves. Lease 54 years left — financing starts to pinch.
