Andy’s Take: this sold at a genuine discount to Toa Payoh proper, District 12’s Balestier/Jalan Tenteram pocket runs meaningfully cheaper per square foot while still landing inside the same school and MRT convenience zone. At roughly S$607 psf, that reflected real value versus comparable 4-room flats inside Toa Payoh itself, and it’s a good reference point for buyers currently priced out of Toa Payoh who haven’t considered this adjacent pocket. Remaining lease should always be re-verified against the current date for any similar unit, the 78-year figure quoted here was already dated at time of sale, and lease decay matters directly for CPF usage and bank loan eligibility on any comparable flat.
