Now let’s get on with the list of curated units this week!
Shortlists like this are a useful starting point, but the units that make the list aren't necessarily the ones that make the most sense for your budget, lifestyle or long-term plans.
The harder part comes afterwards: comparing the trade-offs, evaluating the numbers, and deciding which home is actually the best fit for your situation.
Over time, that's also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.
1402 Admiralty Link

Why I like it
This 5-room home at Admiralty Link is a solid all-rounder with a functional layout – and it’s just a 10-minute walk to Sembawang MRT and Sun Plaza.
It’s a corner unit with great privacy, and the long kitchen inside offers ample cabinet storage plus the option for a service yard. The master and adjacent common room have been hacked to form a spacious suite with a walk-in wardrobe – but since the original doorway is still intact, you can easily reinstate the fourth room if needed. Great for families who want move-in-ready flexibility with room to grow.

Why I like it
At a 10-minute walk from Admiralty MRT, this corner unit along Woodlands Drive 75 offers everyday convenience with privacy to match.
Though it sits on a lower floor, the full-height windows in the living and master bedroom allow generous daylight to flow in. We like how the living and dining areas are smartly separated, and how every inch of space feels thoughtfully laid out – including the tucked-away home shelter and ample kitchen storage. A great choice for families who want access to parks, food, and the MRT within walking distance.

3305 Jurong East Street 32
$578,000
| Attribute | Info |

| Nearest MRT station | 10-minute walk to Chinese Garden MRT |
| Size | 1,356 sq ft |
| Price PSF | $426 |
| TOP | 1982 |
Why I like it
Tucked in a quieter pocket of Jurong East, this 1,356 sq ft home is just 11 minutes to Chinese Garden MRT, and under 10 minutes to two hawker centres.
The layout features distinct living and dining zones, with a balcony that can be flushed out to extend your living space. All three bedrooms are generously sized, and the master is especially spacious. Despite a few odd corners, the flow of the unit remains practical, and there’s even space in the kitchen to set up a proper service yard. A strong option if you value both size and walkable access to Jurong’s lifestyle cluster.

| Price PSF | $498 |

Why I like it
A 10-minute stroll to Sembawang MRT and Sun Plaza, this corner unit brings privacy, size, and practicality together in one neat package.
The living area extends into a spacious balcony perfect for play, plants, or bikes – and we love how the L-shaped kitchen cabinet carves out a functional service yard at the back. The master has been combined with the common room to create a large bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, though it can easily be converted back to two rooms. With thoughtful storage and zoning, this is one of the most flexible layouts we’ve seen this week.

5503 Choa Chu Kang Street 51
$600,000
| Attribute | Info |
| Address | 503 Choa Chu Kang Street 51 |
| Nearest MRT station | 9-minute walk to Choa Chu kang MRT |
| Size | 1,367 sq ft |
| Price PSF | $439 |
| TOP | 1993 |
Why I like it
Clocking in at nearly 1,370 sq ft, this is one of the largest units in our lineup – and it’s only a 9-minute walk to Choa Chu Kang MRT and Lot 1 mall.
The study here is full-sized and can function as a proper fourth bedroom, giving homeowners added flexibility. The layout is also highly regular, which makes it easy to plan their furniture layout. The living and dining areas are well-delineated, and there’s even a balcony off the living room that can be levelled out. For families after size and MRT access without blowing the budget, this is a compelling option.

Round-ups like this are a good place to start a shortlist, but the real work begins when you start comparing the final few options, looking beyond the headline criteria to decide which property is the best fit for your own situation.
