Here Are Cheaper 5-Room HDB Flats In The Central Area Still Priced Below $900K
By now, news of million-dollar flats in the Central Area is hardly “news” at all. It’s more or less expected that, in these areas, you can end up paying the price of a small condo unit for 4-room or 5-room flats. But as always when it comes to real estate, there will be exceptions to the norm. This week, we compiled a list of 5-room flats in exactly this area, which are below $900,000; still not cheap, but possibly among the best deals you can find in the Central Area today:

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
Located within walking distance to Geylang Bahru MRT station (DTL), this block is also close to Geylang Bahru Market & Food Centre, with a supermarket and other amenities nearby. The park connector leading to Kallang Riverside Park is also a short walk away.
This unit is situated in a point block with just four units per level, offering more privacy compared to typical corridor units. Being on a high floor, it clears the height of most nearby blocks and has a relatively unimpeded view; that’s important for flats in such a built-up location.
The layout is efficient, with no walkway leading to the bedrooms. The living and dining areas are nicely segregated, and the dining space is particularly large, with floor-to-ceiling windows. This area could be adapted into a study, play area, or even a small indoor garden. All three bedrooms are well-sized, and the kitchen layout allows for the addition of a service balcony if desired.

| $PSF | $681 |

Why I like it
This unit is located within walking distance of three MRT stations: Little India (DTL/NE), Farrer Park (NEL), and Jalan Besar (DTL). The area is rich in amenities, including Tekka Market, Mustafa Centre, City Square Mall, and a wide variety of dining options.
The layout is regularly shaped, which makes furniture planning straightforward. The living and dining areas are spacious and can potentially be further segregated if preferred. Most of the internal walls can be hacked, allowing for flexibility in reconfiguring the space, such as opening up the kitchen to create a larger communal area.
All three bedrooms are well-sized, making this a practical option for families looking for a central location with strong connectivity.

Why I like it
Located within walking distance from Ang Mo Kio MRT station (NSL) and AMK Hub, this unit is also within walking distance of Chong Boon and Cheng San markets and food centres. Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park is slightly further away, at around a 13-minute walk.
The unit has been renovated with a split wet and dry kitchen concept. The dry kitchen opens up toward the living and dining area, making the space feel larger, while sliding glass doors separate the wet kitchen without blocking light.
The dry kitchen also features a sizeable island with a built-in sink and ample storage. One of the bedrooms has been converted into a workspace, though the owner is open to reinstating it if needed. The master bathroom has also been reconfigured with glass panels, giving it a more spacious feel.

Why I like it
This block is within walking distance to Farrer Park MRT station (NEL) and City Square Mall, with Pek Kio Market and other food options nearby. It is also within 1 km of St. Joseph’s Institution Junior.
The unit is another point block layout with just four units per level, offering added privacy. It sits on a high floor with good natural light and unblocked views.
The layout is somewhat unconventional. The living area, which originally had a balcony, has been levelled out to create a larger indoor space. The dining area is fully separated and located across from the bedrooms.
The kitchen has two entrances, connecting both the living and dining areas, and can be opened up to create a more cohesive layout. All three bedrooms remain well-sized.

Why I like it
Located just across from the upcoming Cantonment MRT station (CCL), this unit is close to the CBD while still being slightly removed from the busiest areas. It is also within walking distance of 100 AM and other nearby amenities, and sits next to Spottiswoode Park.
The layout is efficient, with no walkway leading to the bedrooms. The living and dining areas are well separated, and the dining space is particularly large, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for flexible use as a study, family area, or more.
The kitchen and bathrooms have been recently renovated, while the rest of the unit has minimal built-ins, making it easier for buyers to customise. All three bedrooms are well-sized, and the kitchen layout allows for a service balcony if desired.
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.
