Last week, we looked at the cheapest 4-room HDB flat listings we could find. This week, we’re exploring the most affordable 5-room listings available right now.

Bigger flats at lower prices are usually older and at least a 10-minute walk from the MRT, but we’ve included options with nearby family-friendly amenities – spacious units truly built for living.

Why I like it

This unit is within a 15-minute walk of the future Pandan Reservoir MRT station (expected 2028) and Teban Gardens Market and Food Centre, with additional dining options in nearby HDB clusters. Pandan Reservoir itself is also a short walk away.

The interior is spacious. Living and dining areas are large, with potential to convert part of the space into a fourth bedroom. The kitchen is roomy enough to incorporate the dining area while keeping ample workspace. Most walls are hackable, allowing flexibility to reconfigure the layout, and a service yard can be added if desired.

Natural light is abundant, and the design is efficient with minimal wasted space. Overall, it is a well-laid-out unit with flexible space and convenient proximity to future transport and amenities.

Why I like it

This unit sits about an 11-minute walk from Lakeside MRT, and a slightly longer 17-minute walk to Boon Lay MRT and Jurong Point. Daily errands are easy, with Boon Lay Place and 505 Jurong West markets nearby, plus Jurong Lake Gardens just a short stroll away. Rulang Primary School is within 1km, which is convenient for families.

It’s in a point block, so there are only four units per floor—one in each corner—which gives a sense of privacy. The unit itself has two entrances: a main door and a kitchen door, which is uncommon for HDBs. Inside, the living and dining areas are spacious, and floor-to-ceiling windows make the space feel bright and open. The kitchen comes with a separate service balcony.

All three bedrooms are well-sized, with one noticeably larger. There’s no corridor, so no space is wasted. The bathroom and WC are separate, but could be combined by hacking the dividing wall if needed.

Why I like it

Why I like it

Located about a 10-minute walk from Sembawang MRT station and Sun Plaza, this corner unit also sits close to Sembawang Mart, with plenty of other food and supermarket options scattered around nearby HDB clusters.

The living and dining areas are generously sized and include an attached balcony, creating a bright, open space. All three bedrooms are comfortably proportioned. The home shelter is tucked into the kitchen, which is long enough to accommodate a service yard if desired.

The unit’s regular layout makes arranging furniture straightforward and ensures minimal wasted space. Being a corner unit adds a layer of privacy not found in typical flats.

This corner unit is about a 17-minute walk from Marsiling MRT station, which has a range of supermarkets and eateries nearby.
