Looking for an affordable HDB flat near an MRT station? We get it – convenience and cost don’t always go hand in hand, but there are still several options if you know where to look.
This week, we’ve shortlisted five of the most affordable 4-room flats near MRT stations, with prices starting from $449K.
Bear in mind that these are older flats, which may require renovation work and come with shorter leases. This is something to factor in when weighing if it is a sensible purchase.

Why I like it
Two things typically come to mind when you think of Upper Thomson: a sprawling, landed enclave and the vibrant rows of eateries lining Upper Thomson Road.
This block enjoys a tranquil setting, overlooking the serene landed estate along Sin Ming Road, providing a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Upper Thomson MRT Station (TEL) is a 10-minute walk away, along with Shunfu Mart and Thomson Plaza. The main stretch of Upper Thomson Road is also well-known for its diverse range of cafes, restaurants, and eateries, adding to the lifestyle appeal for residents. Alternatively, Sin Ming Plaza is another option, just a short 7-minute stroll from the block.
For nature lovers, MacRitchie Reservoir is close by and families with young children will also appreciate that two well-regarded primary schools, Ai Tong and Catholic High, are within a 1-km radius.
The unit spans 947 square feet and features a straightforward, efficient layout. It includes three bedrooms, a squarish living area, and a spacious kitchen with a sizeable utility room.

$PSF | $565 PSF |

Why I like it
Ground floor units might not be for everyone, but for those who enjoy the ease of access of low-floor living, this 797-square-foot unit could be one to look at.
The layout is straightforward and practical, and offers three well-sized bedrooms, a squarish and spacious living room, and a similarly proportioned kitchen.
With the kitchen’s current size and shape, there’s the potential to create a dedicated yard space or split it into wet and dry kitchen areas, depending on your needs. An interesting feature is the dual entry—one from the main entrance and the other from the kitchen, offering flexibility in how you use the space.
As for the location, the block is less than a 15-minute walk to both Redhill and Tiong Bahru MRT stations (East-West line). Living in a mature estate comes with its perks – residents have access to a wide range of amenities within walking distance, including Redhill Market, Bukit Merah View Market & Hawker Centre, Beo Crescent Market, Valley Point Shopping Centre, and Tiong Bahru Plaza.

For nature lovers, apart from Bukit Batok Hillside Park’s trails, you’re also close to Bukit Batok Town Park, with a park connector that links to Bukit Batok Nature Park and even Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
