What works in its favour
- Both anchors locked in: 625m to RIVER VALLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL and 291m (~4-min walk) to Great World MRT (Exit 5). 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.
- Popular primary inside 1km — RIVER VALLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL: RIVER VALLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL is . These primaries are heavily oversubscribed, so addresses inside the 1km P1 zone hold a durable premium — kiasu parents will pay up to keep this option open.
- Sensible price gap: Launch PSF only +6% above local resale benchmark. Headroom for capital appreciation intact.
- Real gross yield: 3.8%: Yield is above the SG private market median (~3.2%). Decent cash flow buffer if interest rates climb. Based on URA median rent (2026Q1) over the project's real resale PSF.
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 225 HDB blocks total within 2km). Narrow pool to absorb your resale — demand leans more on private-market churn here.
- 6 new launches competing in D9 · Orchard / River Valley: 6 active private launches in your district right now. More competing supply softens both rental and resale pricing power.
Who Oue Twin Peaks suits
- Buyers who prioritise a central, well-connected address

- Buyers who value a stable, established neighbourhood over speculative upside
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
Huat Kueh says
River Valley Primary School within 1km at ~$2,180 psf — parents pay for this. Price trend still sliding — no need to chase.
