5 Cheapest 4-Room HDB Flats Near An MRT From $468k

For those after a city-fringe home without the usual price tag, this 4-room flat at Henderson Crescent is worth a look.

It’s within walking distance of Redhill MRT station (EWL), with ARTRA nearby for daily essentials. Tiong Bahru MRT, Tiong Bahru Plaza, and the lifestyle offerings the neighbourhood is known for are also within reach—either by bus or a slightly longer walk, if you don’t mind the distance.

Redhill Market and Bukit Merah View Hawker Centre are close by as well, and for those who enjoy being outdoors, there’s a park connector nearby that links all the way to the Singapore River.

At 797 square feet, the unit sits on the more compact side, but the layout is squarish and efficient. All three bedrooms are well-sized, and two even feature full-height windows, which is an uncommon find in older flats.

The original service balcony has been hacked to create a more open kitchen. That said, the unit is on the older side, so it may not appeal to buyers seeking something more modern, but for its location, price and liveability, it still holds its own.

This 904 square foot, 4-room flat in Yishun offers a practical, well-planned layout—ideal for families seeking a functional, no-frills home.

The living area is generous and can comfortably accommodate a dining space without feeling tight, while the long kitchen configuration allows for the addition of a service balcony, if desired.

Location-wise, it’s set within a well-established and convenient neighbourhood. Yishun MRT station (NSL) and Northpoint City are within walking distance, with several coffee shops in the nearby HDB clusters providing day-to-day ease. Yishun Pond and the park connector to Lower Seletar Reservoir are also close by—offering a welcome balance of nature and connectivity.

Why I like it

There’s something quietly charming about older flats like this one in Bukit Batok. 

Just a short walk from Bukit Gombak MRT (NSL), it’s close enough to be convenient but tucked away enough to feel a little more laid-back. 

The neighbourhood centre is just around the corner, with everything from a wet market to local eats, and you’ve got Bukit Batok Town Park nearby if you’re in need of a breather—complete with a park connector that takes you all the way to Bukit Batok Nature Park.

Inside, the layout keeps things straightforward and efficient. At 904 square feet, there’s minimal space wasted on walkways—so everything feels a little more purposeful. The long kitchen gives you the option to carve out a service balcony, which is always handy.

And then there’s the flooring. That broken marble finish might not be everyone’s first thought—but it’s rare to find these days, helps keep the flat cool, and brings a bit of texture and character into the space.

Why I like it

If you’re someone who values being within walking distance of everyday amenities in a heartland estate, this 4-room flat in Bukit Batok might be one to consider. 

Tucked within a well-connected corner of the neighbourhood, it’s just a short walk to Bukit Gombak MRT station (NSL), with the nearby neighbourhood centre offering easy access to the wet market, supermarket, and plenty of local food options. Bukit Batok Town Park is also close by, with a park connector that links directly to Bukit Batok Nature Park.

Inside, the unit spans 904 square feet and features a regular, efficient layout that makes furniture planning straightforward. All three bedrooms are well-sized, and the living area is lined with long window panels. 

While there isn’t a service balcony currently, the kitchen layout allows enough room to incorporate one if desired.

Why I like it

While this unit may not be in the heart of Bedok, it still offers convenient access to amenities, making this one of the perks of living in a well-established, mature estate. It’s within walking distance of Bedok Reservoir MRT station (DTL), with both Kaki Bukit and Bedok 538 market and food centres close by.

Bedok MRT (EWL) and Bedok Mall are slightly further out and would require a short bus ride or drive. For green space, you’re well covered—Bedok Town Park and Bedok Reservoir Park are both within easy reach.

At 990 square feet, the layout is straightforward, and as a corner unit, you’ll enjoy added privacy with fewer neighbours passing by. Most of the walls are hackable, offering flexibility to reconfigure the space to suit your needs.

There’s also minimal built-in furniture in the bedrooms and living area, which means less to hack if you’re planning to renovate.
