When sourcing for landed homes in Singapore, it’s normal to be overwhelmed by the influx of options available to you. But a major determinant for landed home prices will undoubtedly be location. And right here, in our third article for our landed series, we’ll explain not only the locations of these renowned enclaves, but dissect the prices and help you understand how where you reside, will ultimately define what you’re looking for in a home.

A disclaimer though, is there are the minority, who rather snag a good deal, regardless of location, and rebuild with either an A&A (additions and alterations), or a full gut renovation to their fancy. Nothing wrong with that. But when location is a strong contributing factor to the prices’s ebb and flow. Let’s dig into the meat.

Overall, it’s the natural vibe of a peaceful settlement, among a naturally younger (or young at heart) neighbourhood.

It’s always great to return home after a business/pleasure trip, drop your stuff, and head out easily to meet up with them. Fathers and mothers settle nothing less but the best for their children, as these locations put them within reach to exclusive schools and international ones. Wide options of housing are available to you, with prices from $3 mil for a 99-year semi-detached, to $33.27 mil for a detached freehold. Some of these locations are considered prime addresses, with popular GCB areas such as Bukit Timah, Nassim Road and Tanglin, which as you probably realised, jacked the price of the freehold significantly.

Some of these homes are conservation heritage houses, and if Singapore history is of vital importance to you, this will be where you’re aiming for. Every lane is punctuated with abundant history that you own, from plantations to age-old Peranakan forefather ownership. Town is your playground, and conveniences go without saying. Every landed home here is considered a prime address, and you’re living the dream for most Singaporeans.

• 99-years ~ $2.0 mil

• Freehold ~ $4.15 mil

Special Mention:

As there are not many landed home clusters around the North and west, the prices are generally more affordable, at the expense of some conveniences. Having businesses in the region turns this region into a plus point, and sometimes, it’s better to just enjoy the space you have, among your family. As long as personal vehicles are used, accessibility to the rest of Singapore isn’t an issue.

 Ultimately, home is how you build it, and whether you live in Serangoon or Cairnhill, as long as it suits the needs of your family, that space will suffice. We think we have covered almost all of the landed homes and their prices here. As of time of writing, these are the latest price ranges available, and if you’re looking for a forever home, or for investment, PropertyLimBrothers can be of a great help to your property journey.
