• Easy car access to major roads such as Thomson Road, Newton Road and expressways like PIE and CTE

• Newton Food Centre and numerous dining options along Thomson and Balestier
• Short drive to Orchard Road, Balestier and the CBD

Schools and medical hub

The area is highly regarded for schools and healthcare:

• Within reach of St. Joseph’s Institution Junior, ACS (Junior), ACS (Primary), CHIJ Toa Payoh and other reputable schools
• Very close to the Novena medical hub: Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Mount Elizabeth Novena, specialist centres and medical suites

Key appeal

• Freehold boutique residence in the Core Central Region
• Only 49 units, with private lift access and large, efficient layouts
• Strong owner-occupier appeal among families and professionals seeking space and privacy
• Excellent connectivity to Novena MRT, Newton, Orchard and the CBD
• Proximity to top schools and medical facilities enhances long-term desirability and rental demand

Buckley 18 is ideal for buyers who want a quietly luxurious, low-density freehold home in a central, well-connected neighbourhood, with the kind of generous space and privacy that newer, high-density projects rarely offer.
