About River Valley Court
River Valley Court is a small freehold apartment block at 338E River Valley Road in District 9 (Orchard, River Valley). It has just 18 units and was completed in the mid-1990s. Sources give 1994 or 1995. Property directories name Carrutha Pte Ltd as the developer.
The block stands on a compact plot of about 1,449 sq m, set back from the main road in the cluster of 338-numbered addresses near the Killiney Road junction. There is no full condominium clubhouse. Shared facilities are modest: a jacuzzi, sauna, sun deck, multi-purpose room and car park. It remains a lived-in strata building.
