KENSINGTON SQUARE
UrbanLens Analysis
KENSINGTON SQUARE commands $1,574 PSF -- 7% above what District 19 typically fetches ($1,472 PSF). Bartley MRT is 467m away (6-min walk), functional but not a headline selling point. Against CHUAN PARK at $2,596 PSF, the 39% discount is worth examining closely.
The +4.6% two-year price movement is negligible -- neither bullish nor bearish. With 14 deals in two years, the pricing data has reasonable statistical weight. For context, AFFINITY AT SERANGOON has gained 2.6% over the same period.
Being freehold means zero lease-decay anxiety. Full CPF eligibility, maximum LTV, and a universally bankable asset. Gross yield of 3.9% beats the OCR average of 3.4%. With $3,689/month median rent, income-focused buyers have a real case here.
At 141 units, the development is mid-sized: adequate amenities, manageable maintenance pool, and reasonable resale velocity. In the Outside Central region, price sensitivity runs high. The value-for-money equation must be compelling to attract buyers.
