Rio Vista, a 99-year leasehold condominium along Upper Serangoon View in District 19, defied expectations to become a top performer in 2025. Back when it was completed in 2004, Rio Vista had only one neighbour – Evergreen Park, a 99-year leasehold condo that was completed in 1999.

At the time, this came with concerns that this quiet area in the North East Region was getting too crowded with new condos.
