Prime D9 Freehold Gem: Convenience & Yield!
Mackenzie 88 is a rare freehold gem in D9 offering city-fringe convenience. Just a 3 min walk to Little India MRT, it's perfect for urban professionals craving quick access to Orchard, MBFC & MBS. In particular, the larger 2BR layouts suit young couples & investors seeking solid 4% gross yields. Pros: Freehold tenure in D9; Istana is your neighbour, compact & efficient layout; strong rental demand from expats & locals. Low maintenance fees. Within 1km to ACJS & St Margaret’s Primary. Location shines for urban living. While facilities are basic (pool, gym, jacuzzi, table tennis, BBQ), the real draw is the walkable, connected lifestyle. Cons: Older build (2010s), so some units need cosmetic updates; nearby roadworks are temporary. Excellent for yield-focused buyers or first time D9 owners. -

LOVE THE LOCATION & THE PRICE
Unbelievable find! Love the great location. And the price is so much cheaper than the condos just 2 mins walk away. Quiet, serene, and exclusive. But not all units are the same. So many units available to choose from... but just waiting for any floor of that stack with balcony that faces straight into the greenery, and with unblocked windows on the other side. -

Great location but reasonable rental!!
Excellent location. 3-min walk to MRT(Interchange station) and only 1 or 2 station away from Orchard Road and Marina Bay Area. Many eating and shopping places. Located right at the cross-road between the Civic District/Expat living and the Little India Historic District, you can get to experience the diverse culture and culniary options. Despite its centrality, the surrounding environment is peaceful, quiet and green as it is surrounded by Emily Hill Park and Istana - the official residence and office of the President of Singapore. I strongly recommend this property for: City Living, Outdoors & Activities, Peace & Quiet, Western Expats and Asian Expats. -

Good rental & capital Upside
Love the location. Walking distance to MRT and near so many eating and shopping places. No wonder it's such a popular property for investors. Agree with Chloe that the master bedroom is a little small, especially for a king-size bed. But looking at the show flats of new launches nowadays, I think it's decent enough. But having said that, given that the Downtown line MRT which goes all the way to the CBD and Marina Bay (scheduled to be ready in 2015), Mackenzie 88 is well-positioned to attract tenants with higher rental budgets in the future. Capital appreciation is also a matter of time given the sold out reception of The MKZ just across the road. Developers sold out all units between $19xx to $2xxx psf. How buyers are willing to pay such high prices for MKZ is beyond my understanding especially when they can easily get Mackenzie 88 at a much lower psf with immediate rental yields. -

Excellent location
I find the location excellent, but the master bedrooms are admittedly a little small. However, like the serenity, the unblocked view from the balcony, and the fact that this is an expat enclave. -
