5 Attractive Freehold Condos With Private Pools (Under $2M)
Today, most major new condo launches are 99-year leasehold, which means buyers have to return them to the government after their leases expire.
This makes freehold condos a rare commodity, attractive for buyers seeking long-term ownership with lease decay or potential earnings through en bloc sales. Even rarer are those with luxury amenities like private pools.
Today, we’re looking at our top picks of such units – all of which also come in at below $2 million.

Why I like it
This 2-bedroom, 1-bath duplex penthouse offers bright, unblocked views and plenty of natural light. A jack-and-jill bathroom shared between the bedrooms adds convenience, while the compact kitchen packs in functional storage.
You’re about a 12-minute walk from Paya Lebar MRT, with malls like PLQ, Paya Lebar Square, and Singapore Post Centre nearby. Food options are plentiful too: from Geylang Serai Market & Food Centre to eateries along Tanjong Katong and Joo Chiat Roads. Kinex and City Plaza are just a short stroll away, and Kong Hwa School sits within 1 kilometre.
The standout feature is the outdoor space: a spacious balcony on the lower floor leads to stairs outside that take you to a large roof terrace. Here, a pool runs the terrace’s length, alongside a generous deck perfect for BBQs, exercising, or relaxing.
Great for those wanting city convenience with plenty of private outdoor space.

Outside, you’ll find a compact roof terrace with a pool stretching across its width — perfect for those wanting some outdoor space without too much maintenance. The staircase is cleverly tucked away, wrapping around the study to maximise usable space inside.
Nearby, you’ve got Anchorpoint, Dawson Place, and popular food centres like ABC Brickworks and Alexandra Village, plus park connectors leading to Hortpark and Labrador Park for weekend strolls.
