There’s always jokes that HDB flats are “hamster cages,” and complaints about how small they’ve gotten. But in reality, HDB flats can be incredibly spacious; and some of them come with high-ceilings that make even a regular 4-room feel like a luxury condo unit (at least in the living and dining area!) Here are some of these flats, which made a huge impact on first sight.

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.

Why I like it
This stunning 4-room flat is a 10-minute walk to Queenstown MRT and close to Redhill MRT and Artra. Just six minutes from Dawson Place, the area is rich with food options and a supermarket. Sitting along a park connector that links to the Singapore River, the flat features a soaring double volume ceiling in the living and dining areas, framed by full-height windows for abundant natural light. A sliding window panel between kitchen and living enhances airflow and light, while a separate service yard adds practicality. One of the common bedrooms has been merged with the master to create a walk-in wardrobe and study/dressing space.

Why I like it
Just six minutes from Potong Pasir MRT and next to The Poiz Centre, this 3-room flat enjoys unbeatable convenience with food options and two supermarkets right downstairs. A short walk brings you to the park connector leading to Kallang Riverside Park. The flat boasts a rare five-metre-high pitched roof, allowing for mezzanine additions; already done in the master bedroom. Despite being in a low-rise block, it receives excellent natural light. A well-designed layout and high ceiling make this home feel especially spacious and bright.

Why I like it
Located 11 minutes from Boon Lay MRT and close to the future Bahar Junction MRT (2027), this Executive Apartment (EA) is near food courts and Jurong Central Park. The unit offers a high ceiling in the master and one common bedroom, where a mezzanine-style loft features a sleep zone above and a study with storage below. With 3 bedrooms and a spacious study that can serve as a fourth bedroom, the layout is extremely versatile. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in plenty of light and create a sense of openness throughout the well-proportioned home.
