Hillsta

$800,000

Why I like it

Hillsta might not seem the most accessible to the Hillion area on foot, but in reality, it’s much more walkable than it seems. Bukit Panjang MRT (DTL) is within walking distance, with three malls: Hillion Mall, Bukit Panjang Plaza, and Junction 10, all clustered around the station. For day-to-day essentials, there are also eateries and a supermarket just across the street within the neighbouring HDB cluster.

Nature-wise, the Rail Corridor is close by too, offering easy access for morning walks or weekend rides.

Sitting on a high floor, this 570 square foot unit enjoys an unblocked view that stretches toward Malaysia. For a one-bedder, it’s on the more spacious side compared to many newer options, and the efficient layout means there’s minimal space lost to walkways.

The living area is comfortably sized, opening out to a balcony that can easily fit a small dining set; perfect for enjoying the view. Most of the built-ins are practical and thoughtfully designed for storage, and the inclusion of a home shelter adds even more space to tuck away the everyday clutter that tends to build up in smaller homes.

Parc Centros

$860,000

Why I like it

Set just a short walk from Punggol MRT Station (NEL) and Waterway Point, Parc Centros is a plausible option for those who want to live near these key amenities. Everyday conveniences are easily covered, with a food court and supermarket located just across the street, while the nearby park connector offers direct access to Punggol Waterway, Coney Island, and Lorong Halus Wetland Park for those who enjoy an active lifestyle.

At 474 square feet, the unit is positioned on a high floor and offers an efficient layout. A decently sized balcony offers further flexibility, whether as an alfresco dining spot or simply as an outdoor extension of the living space.

Nin Residence

$875,000

Why I like it

Nin Residence keeps things simple: you’re just across Potong Pasir MRT (NEL) and The Poiz, and about 10 minutes to Woodleigh MRT (NEL) and the new Woodleigh Mall. 

There’s also no shortage of food options nearby: between the shophouses along Tai Thong Crescent, The Venue Shoppes, and the eateries tucked into the surrounding HDB clusters. And if you’re after a bit of green space, the park connector nearby links directly to Kallang Riverside Park.

Inside, the layout is efficient for a 474 square feet apartment. The open concept kitchen makes the living space feel spacious, and the balcony is also a decent size; big enough to fit a small dining set if you’d rather have some meals outdoors.

One of the more interesting touches here is in the master bedroom. The home shelter has been positioned within the bathroom, which means you can potentially convert it into a walk-in wardrobe, freeing up more space in the bedroom itself.

La Fiesta

$820,000

Why I like it

Living right above Compass One might not appeal to everyone, but for those who still value convenience, La Fiesta makes a strong case. 

With Sengkang MRT station and the mall just across the road, everything from groceries to a quick coffee is easily within reach. Kopitiam Square and the nearby HDB clusters add even more dining options for day-to-day variety.

Inside, the 452 square foot unit is efficiently laid out with a regular-shaped floor plan, making furniture placement straightforward. For a one-bedder of this size, the fact that it can comfortably accommodate a 4-seater dining set is a definite plus. A decently sized balcony rounds off the space, offering a small outdoor corner for some fresh air or a quiet evening wind-down.

Jewel @ Buangkok

$899,000

Why I like it

Jewel @ Buangkok puts you right across the street from Buangkok MRT and Sengkang Grand Mall, which means daily errands and commuting are simple. You’ve also got plenty of food options nearby, with a variety of eateries scattered across the surrounding HDB blocks.

For green space, Punggol Park is within walking distance, and the park connector gives you easy access to Lorong Halus Wetland Park and Coney Island if you’re after a bit more nature.

The unit sits on a high floor with an unblocked view over the HDB blocks. The open kitchen keeps the layout feeling less cramped, while the living area is well-proportioned. The balcony is a decent size too; big enough to set up as an alfresco dining spot if you want to keep the interior more open.
