Tre Residences Review — Aljunied · D14
HuatScore: 63/100 — Good
Is Tre Residences a good buy?
HuatScore rates Tre Residences 63/100 — a "Good" verdict. That makes it a conditional buy for buyers who prioritise a central, well-connected address and investors chasing a workable ~3.2% yield. Strongest card: Both anchors locked in. Main watch-out: District price gap is wide. Negotiate hard — pricing leaves little margin of safety.

What works in its favour
- Both anchors locked in: 786m to KONG HWA SCHOOL [SAP] and 295m (~4-min walk) to Aljunied MRT (Exit B). 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 — KONG HWA SCHOOL: KONG HWA SCHOOL is SAP. 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.
- Deep future upgrader pool: Live count: 17 HDB blocks within 2km cross the 5-year MOP between 2025 and 2028 (of 406 HDB blocks total within 2km). These upgraders are your most natural buyers when you exit.
- Tight new-launch competition: No active private launch in your district — scarcity supports resale liquidity and pricing.
What to watch out for
- District price gap is wide: New launch PSF is +34% above the 5–10 year resale median in Geylang / Eunos. Market needs ~7 years of growth to match the entry price.
- Thin transaction volume: Only 16 resale deals in the past year. Equity trap risk — when you want to exit, very few buyers to anchor against.
Who Tre Residences suits
- Buyers who prioritise a central, well-connected address
- Yield investors — ~3.2% gross is workable; favour larger unit types
- Buyers who value a stable, established neighbourhood over speculative upside
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who need a margin of safety — pricing is full and leaves little room for error
- 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
Kong Hwa School within 1km at ~$1,875 psf — parents pay for this. Prices going backwards though — wait for a better entry.
