Here Are 5 4-Room HDB Flats With Rare Unblocked Views — From $680K
An unblocked view can be one of the harder features to put a price on when buying an HDB flat. Two otherwise similar units in the same estate can feel very different depending on whether the windows face another block or open out towards greenery, landed homes, or even the sea.
Besides the view itself, a more open facing can also mean better natural light and a greater sense of privacy. The catch is that such views aren’t necessarily permanent, particularly where there is undeveloped land nearby, so buyers should still check the URA Master Plan before assuming today’s view will remain unchanged.
This week, we looked at five 4-room HDB flats with particularly open and unblocked outlooks.

Now let’s get on with the list of curated units this week!
Shortlists like this are a useful starting point, but the units that make the list aren’t necessarily the ones that make the most sense for your budget, lifestyle or long-term plans.
The harder part comes afterwards: comparing the trade-offs, evaluating the numbers, and deciding which home is actually the best fit for your situation.
Over time, that’s also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.

Why I like it
Located near Marsiling MRT station (NSL), this unit is within walking distance of various neighbourhood eateries and supermarkets, as well as Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre. The nearby park connector also provides a route towards Marsiling Park, Woodlands Waterfront and Admiralty Park.
Situated on a high floor, the unit looks out over the neighbouring HDB blocks towards Mandai, giving it a relatively open outlook and plenty of natural light.
While I know more buyers prefer an enclosed kitchen these days, the open kitchen does make the overall space feel larger. An L-shaped kitchen counter makes efficient use of the available space, with both upper and lower cabinets providing plenty of storage.

Why I like it
Located near Senja LRT station (BPLRT), this unit is one stop from Bukit Panjang MRT station (DTL/BPLRT), where residents have access to several shopping malls. Senja Hawker Centre and various neighbourhood eateries are also nearby, while the Rail Corridor is within walking distance.
The unit sits on a high floor and looks out over West Spring Secondary School towards the KJE and Mandai. With few immediate obstructions in front, the home receives plenty of natural light.
A floor-to-ceiling cabinet between the entrance and living room creates a small foyer, providing some additional privacy when entering the home. The kitchen comes with a separate service yard, while the home shelter is positioned along the bedroom corridor.
The master bedroom and adjacent common bedroom are currently connected by a sliding door, which could work particularly well for families with a newborn or young child, or for buyers who want an adjoining study.

Why I like it
Located near Potong Pasir MRT station (NEL) and The Poiz Centre, this unit is also close to various eateries and supermarkets within the surrounding HDB estate. The nearby Bidadari Greenway provides access towards Alkaff Lake and Bidadari Park.
Completed in 2021 and newly MOP, the unit sits on the top floor and enjoys an unblocked outlook across the neighbouring landed estate. Combined with its elevated position, this brings plenty of natural light into the home.
The living and dining areas are clearly separated, while sliding glass doors between the kitchen and dining area allow the kitchen to remain enclosed without visually closing off the space.
One of the common bedrooms beside the master has been converted into a walk-in wardrobe, with direct access from the master bedroom.

Why I like it
Located near Tiong Bahru MRT station (EWL) and Tiong Bahru Plaza, this unit is also close to Tiong Bahru Market and 112 Jalan Bukit Merah Market & Food Centre. The Rail Corridor is also within walking distance. Tiong Bahru is one of the most desirable HDB locations, so it’s also quite hard to find owners willing to let go of flats here.
Situated on a high floor, the home enjoys an open outlook across the neighbouring HDB blocks towards Mount Faber and Keppel. The elevated facing also allows plenty of natural light into the unit.
I do like the way they renovated the kitchen; the U-shaped cabinet configuration maximises the available kitchen space.

Why I like it
Located near Punggol Point LRT station (PGLRT), this unit has convenient connections towards Punggol MRT station (NEL/PGLRT) and Waterway Point. Punggol Coast MRT station (NEL), Punggol Coast Mall and Punggol Coast Hawker Centre are also nearby, along with Northshore Plaza I and II. The development sits beside the park connector leading towards Punggol Beach and Coney Island.
Completed in 2021 and newly MOP, the unit overlooks the development’s communal facilities before opening out towards an unblocked sea view. Since it’s so new, it’s also likely that any renovations are quite recent; this can be a good deal for those who don’t want high renovation costs, and are happy to use what’s there for now.
Together with the sea-facing outlook, this makes it one of the more distinctive options in this week’s selection.
Round-ups like this are a good place to start a shortlist, but the real work begins when you start comparing the final few options, looking beyond the headline criteria to decide which property is the best fit for your own situation.
That’s where many readers ask us to help.
