Naval Base Secondary School, situated just a stone’s throw away from Miltonia Close, is a top choice for secondary education. Its comprehensive curriculum caters to both academic and non-academic development, encompassing leadership, athletics, and the arts. For those seeking a wider range of subjects and a focus on honing individual strengths and interests, Orchid Park Secondary School – also conveniently located near Miltonia Close EC Yishun – is an excellent alternative with its specialised programmes.

A two-bedroom-plus-study unit at Bartley Residences was slated for a mortgagee sale at Knight Frank’s property auction on June 26. With a floor area of 1,109 sq ft and a guide price of $1.9 million, the unit was expected to fetch $1,713 psf.This wasn’t the first time the property has been listed in Knight Frank’s auction. During the previous auction, the property did not receive any bids and was subsequently withdrawn.Explaining the lack of interest, Sharon Lee, head of auction and sales at Knight Frank Singapore, said that the auction coincided with the June school holidays, which is generally a lull period.The two-bedroom-plus-study unit offers buyers flexibility in terms of space usage, featuring an ensuite master bedroom, a second bedroom, a study area, common bathroom, and living and dining area. According to Lee, the fully enclosed study area can be converted into a third bedroom or helper’s room, while the expansive balcony overlooking the landed estate surrounding the development can be turned into an outdoor dining area.Bartley Residences recorded 19 resale transactions this year at an average price of $1,817 psf, based on URA caveats. The most recent transaction saw a one-bedroom unit on the ninth floor go for $828,000 ($1,789 psf) on June 26.The list of transactions also includes a 797 sq ft unit that sold for $1.29 million ($1,620 psf) on June 20, and a 1,087 sq ft unit that changed hands for $2.2 million ($2,024 psf) on Jan 7.Located in District 19 on Lorong How Sun, Bartley Residences is made up of eight residential blocks with a total of 702 units ranging from one- to four-bedroom apartments and spanning 463 sq ft to 2,250 sq ft. According to Lee, the development is in high demand due to its close proximity to schools such as Maris Stella High School (Secondary), Maris Stella High School (Primary), and Bartley Secondary School, which are all located within 500 metres. The development is also within walking distance from Bartley MRT Station.
