Question 1

Is Parktown Residence worth buying?

Accepted Answer

HuatScore rates Parktown Residence 67/100 — Good. The project is integrated with Tampines North MRT (TEL, due 2026) and backed by a UOL × Singapore Land × CapitaLand consortium, the strongest developer JV in recent Singapore launch history. The entry price of ~$2,200 psf carries a ~$450 psf premium over established Tampines resale condos — the premium is a bet on the Tampines North new-town build-out and TEL connectivity. Best for HDB upgraders and 7-10 year investors. Full review at huatscore.com/reviews/parktown-residence.

Question 2

Is The Orie worth buying?

Accepted Answer

HuatScore rates The Orie 79/100 — Solid Choice!. It is the first Toa Payoh GLS launch in 8 years, integrated with Braddell MRT (CCL) and developed by CDL × Frasers × Sekisui House. At ~$2,700 psf it is priced at a significant premium to legacy Toa Payoh condos ($1,600–$1,900 psf) — the fresh lease and blue-chip trio justify part of the premium, the rest requires a patient 8-10 year hold. Best for D12 school-belt families and long-term investors. Full review at huatscore.com/reviews/the-orie.

Question 3

Lentor Modern vs Lentor Hills — which is better?

Accepted Answer

Lentor Modern (HuatScore 73/100) is directly integrated with Lentor MRT and has a Cold Storage podium — you pay ~$100 psf more (~$2,100 vs ~$2,000 psf). Lentor Hills Residences (HuatScore 70/100) is a 5-7 minute walk to the station with a quieter, lower-rise layout and three-developer quality guarantee (GuocoLand × Hong Leong × TID). Both share the same Lentor Hills growth thesis. Choose Lentor Modern for integrated convenience; choose Lentor Hills for ~$100k-160k savings on a 2-bedroom and a greener setting.

Question 4

Is Jadescape a good buy?

Accepted Answer

HuatScore rates Jadescape 93/100 — Damn Huat!. It was the most profitable RCR condo in Singapore in both 2024 and 2025 by profitable resale transactions. Marymount MRT (CCL) is walkable, Upper Thomson MRT (TEL) is nearby, and the D20 school belt is strong. At ~$2,050 psf resale, the market has correctly priced its track record — the case today is yield and defensive exit rather than outsized capital growth.

How does HuatScore score condos?

Accepted Answer
