From personal experience, traveling by car in Clementi is convenient. I have driven along AYE many times, and I appreciate how it links residents to central or western regions of Singapore.

Appreciation Analysis
Market data from District 5 indicates an expected private property price growth of 4-7% in 2025. Elta might tap into this momentum, especially with upcoming train lines and new business hubs.
Historical Performance
Nearby developments like Clavon and Parc Clematis have achieved:
- Clavon: +21.69% since December 2020
- Parc Clematis: +28.91% since December 2020
This suggests that properties in Clementi can experience steady appreciation, supported by demand from buyers and tenants.
Future Growth Catalysts
- Cross Island Line at Clementi station (completion by 2032)
- Jurong Region MRT Line
- one-north and Jurong Lake District expansions
Infrastructure upgrades usually boost property interest. These upcoming changes may widen the pool of potential tenants or buyers.
MOAT Analysis
PropertyLimBrothers uses a “MOAT Analysis” with 10 factors to gauge a development’s staying power. Below are some highlights.
- Volume Effect: Clementi’s property market has a record of consistent transactions.
- MRT Effect: The 820m distance to Clementi MRT makes Elta attractive to daily commuters.
- Parents Attraction Effect: Proximity to top schools.
- Exit Audience: Variety of potential buyers, from singles to larger families.
- Landsize Density: 501 units on about 144,788 sqft.
- Rental Demand: Steady demand from students and professionals who want quick MRT access.
- District Disparity Effect: District 5 is seeing more interest because of growth near the west.
This matrix gives Elta a reasonable foundation for long-term demand. The large catchment of potential tenants, plus future infrastructure, may support stable resale interest.
Rent Price Analysis
Clementi is popular among renters, especially students and working professionals.
Current HDB Rental Ranges (December 2024)
- 3-bedroom HDB: $2,000-$4,000
- 4-bedroom HDB: $3,300-$4,500
- 5-bedroom HDB: $3,900-$4,800
These rates help us gauge private property rents. Typically, private condo units command higher monthly rental due to facilities and security.
Projected Rental Yield
- 1-bedroom: ~3.9%
- Larger units: 2-3%
Rental Growth Potential: Analysts project a 2-4% increase in private residential rents in 2025. The market also expects a limited supply with around 5,348 private units completing in 2025. This reduced supply can support Elta’s rental appeal.
Final Thoughts
Elta Condo offers many positives:
- Capital Appreciation: Planned MRT lines and commercial hubs could enhance property values.
- Rental Appeal: Steady interest from students, families, and professionals.
- Location Factors: Established retail centers, schools, and healthcare in the immediate area.
- Price Outlook: Estimated average of $2,400-$2,500 psf may be competitive for District 5.
I believe Elta can serve buyers seeking a home with convenient services or investors looking for growth potential. The combination of developer reputation, location, and future infrastructure upgrades strengthens the long-term outlook.
