Tao Nan School was one of a dozen primary schools that the Ministry of Education identified which will fall under the new two-track scheme for Phase 2C Primary School registration.

Announced in September this year, the two-track scheme in Phase 2C targets schools located in neighbourhoods where the proportion of public housing is significantly lower than the national average. This will take effect from the 2027 P1 Registration Exercise, for children starting Primary 1 in 2028.

This means that, for the 12 listed primary schools, there will be no difference in enrolment priority whether a student lives within one or two kilometres. This will have a significant bearing on the demand for properties in the area, especially among parents who intend to find a home within the Home School Distance (HSD) of Tao Nan, since they will have a much wider range of options.

This is why in our ongoing Stacked Pro series on private residential properties around well-known primary schools in Singapore, we will examine the resale market for two- and three-bedroom units in projects within two kilometres of Tao Nan School.

We identified two- and three-bedroom units as the common and affordable family units of choice, and why those formerly outside the HSD may now be seeing renewed interest.

Resale Projects With Two- And Three-Bedders Near Tao Nan School

With the HSD extended to two kilometres, we ended up with a massive list of around 400 projects. To keep this analysis manageable, we have narrowed this down to major condo projects with at least 150 units.
