Convenient access to an MRT station has always been a highly prioritised consideration for most home buyers, though this obviously comes at a price premium. This is no surprise because, on top of having easy access to transportation, MRTs are generally surrounded by a wide variety of amenities and lifestyle offerings.
This week, we take a look at five of the most affordable 4-room flats that are located within a 10-minute walk to the nearest MRT Station. These apartments are priced under $495,000 and offer the best of both worlds for those under a tighter budget but still looking for a well-connected home.

Why I like it
Located a short walk from Bukit Panjang Hill, this apartment is sized at 904 square feet and offers an efficient layout for families who want a convenient home.
The apartment comes with 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a rather spacious living area, a storeroom, a squarish kitchen and also an access balcony. Homeowners would find that the unit is regularly shaped, which would be ideal for furniture placements (which is crucial when it comes to compact homes). One small detail noted is, that to avoid having any odd corners to the unit, both bathrooms are protruding out of the flat.
Located between the master bedroom and bedroom 3 is a nook that would be ideal for creating a built-in cabinet for more storage (which was exactly what the current owners have done).
Block 338 is situated a 7-minute walk to Bukit Gombak MRT Station (North-South line) and is a short walk to the Bukit Gombak Neighbourhood Centre (which has a wet market, supermarket and a variety of food options).
Additionally, it is right next to the park connector that leads to Bukit Batok Town Park, Bukit Batok Nature Park and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, which would stand out to nature lovers.

Why I like it
Nestled just a short stroll from Jurong Lake Gardens, this 990 square feet apartment would be a nice fit for families who are looking to live in the West side of Singapore and yet be within walking distance to key amenities.
This particular block is located a 10-minute walk to Lakeside MRT Station (East-West line), with two wet markets and food centres located nearby. Additionally, it is also within a 1-km radius of the popular Rulang Primary School, which would be a huge selling point to families with young children.
One other upgrade to anticipate would be the upcoming Hong Kah MRT Station (Jurong Region Line), which is earmarked to launch in 2026.
This unit comes with an efficient and regularly shaped layout, which is ideal when it comes to space maximisation. The apartment features three bedrooms and two bathrooms and would be a comfortable fit for an average family in Singapore.
Despite being a low-floor apartment, it still enjoys a decent amount of natural light. It is also a door-to-door unit for more privacy. The HDB Home Improvement Programme (HIP) has also been completed and billed, saving future homeowners the hassle of upgrading works.

Why I like it
This apartment is 904 square feet and offers the standard three-bedroom and two-bathroom layout, along with a decently-sized living area, a store room and a long kitchen (that allows for a service yard to be done up if required).
Most of the walls in the unit can be hacked, so homeowners looking for a unit that can be reconfigured to their unique ID might find this apartment a good find. There is minimal built-in furniture, making it more seamless for those planning to reconfigure their apartment with less hacking costs.
Despite being located on a low floor, the unit still enjoys a good amount of natural light.
This apartment is located a 9-minute walk to Khatib MRT Station (North-South line) which is also near various eateries and two supermarkets. Most of the walk is also under a sheltered pathway.
It is also a walking distance of Wisteria Mall and Lower Seletar Reservoir Park, along with several Primary and Secondary Schools, making it a comfortable location for families.

Developer | Housing & Development Board (HDB) |
TOP | 1978 |
Why I like it
Nestled in the bustling Ang Mo Kio neighbourhood, this apartment is a good find for families looking to enjoy living in an RCR location under a budget.
One of its standout selling points is in its location. Block 421 is a 9-minute walk to Ang Mo Kio MRT Station (North-South line) and Ang Mo Kio Hub, with two other wet markets and food centres a short walk away. Furthermore, Ang Mo Kio Town Garden East and Bishan Ang Mo Kio Park is a walking distance away.
The unit is sized at a generous 1,065 square feet and offers three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living area, a store room, a spacious utility room and a long kitchen.
The utility room is big enough to be used as a fourth bedroom (a huge plus point for most families!) or even a private study space. The storeroom can also be hacked to create an open kitchen or larger dining space if it is not needed for storage.
The apartment also comes with broken marble flooring, ideal for keeping the floor cool in Singapore’s hot climate.
