Two good schools and Clementi MRT. The 31.2% new launch premium is the trade-off — plus AYE noise on the wrong stacks.
Elta checks the family boxes — Pei Tong and Clementi Primary within 1km, Clementi MRT a short walk, and a reputable MCL Land–CSC Land JV. At $2,537 average PSF with a 2.03x markup on $1,250 land, the developer pricing is among the most restrained of recent launches. The 31.2% premium over D5 modern resale ($1,934 PSF) is the price of buying new — typical for OCR, though it means you're paying ~$300K more per unit than a comparable resale. The trade-off: AYE highway noise on south-facing stacks is permanent.
