This week, we’re looking at something increasingly hard to find: family-sized three-bedders that an HDB upgrader could reasonably buy. With new launches getting ever smaller, units above 1,100 sq ft are mostly in the resale segment today. The following options may not be flashy, but since they offer real space and liveable layouts, they still make sense in today’s market:

Hougang Green



$1,150,000
| Attribute | Info |
| Address | 5 Buangkok Green |
| Size | 1,141 sq ft |
| $PSF | $1,008 |
| TOP date | 1999 |
Why I like it
This is a very well-rounded option for families who want space without straying too far from conveniences. The development is close to Buangkok MRT and Sengkang Grand Mall, with Hougang Green Shopping Mall right next door for daily needs.
The unit itself sits on a high floor and enjoys good natural light throughout the day. The layout is efficient, with minimal wasted space and a clear separation between living and private areas. There’s a wall and shelving feature near the entrance that adds privacy when the main door is open.
The living and dining areas are spacious, the kitchen comes with a proper yard and ventilated utility area, and all three bedrooms are well-sized. The master bathroom is large enough to accommodate a bathtub, which is increasingly rare in newer developments.

2Orchid Park Condominium




$1,168,888
| Attribute | Info |
| Address | 89 Yishun Street 81 |
| Size | 1,141 sq ft |
| $PSF | $1,024 |
| TOP date | 1995 |
Why I like it
Spaciousness and liveability are the main attractions here. It’s close to Khatib MRT, with supermarkets and eateries nearby, and just a short stroll to Wisteria Mall. For those who enjoy greenery, Lower Seletar Reservoir Park is also close by.
The unit enjoys an unblocked view over the reservoir, which brings in plenty of light and airflow. The living and dining areas are clearly defined, and a mirrored feature wall in the dining area helps visually expand the space while improving brightness.
The kitchen is well laid out with a separate yard and utility area, and all three bedrooms enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s a good example of an older layout that still feels highly functional today.

3Lilydale



$1,180,000
| Attribute | Info |
| Address | 550 Yishun Ave 6 |
| Size | 1,195 sq ft |
| $PSF | $987 |
| TOP date | 2004 |
Why I like it
Lilydale has good three-bedder layouts for families, like this one. This particular unit sits on a high floor and enjoys open views over the pool, with good light throughout the day.
The living and dining areas are nicely separated, and the use of mirrors helps amplify brightness and create a stronger sense of space. The kitchen is fitted with sliding glass panels, allowing it to be opened up or closed off as needed, and it comes with a separate yard and WC.
All three bedrooms are well proportioned, with two enjoying floor-to-ceiling windows. The common bathroom is a Jack-and-Jill setup, giving two bedrooms ensuite access.

4Parkview Apartments




$1,199,000
| Attribute | Info |
| Address | 3 Bukit Batok Street 25 |
| Size | 1,119 sq ft |
| $PSF | $1,017 |
| TOP date | 1999 |
Why I like it
This unit sits in a quieter pocket, flanked by two green buffers. It’s close to Bukit Batok East Point for daily essentials, and just a short stroll to Bukit Batok Nature Park, which adds a nice balance of convenience and greenery.
The layout has living and dining areas clearly defined, and the overall proportions make the home feel larger than it is. The kitchen comes with a proper yard and utility space, while additional storage has been cleverly built into the walkway leading to the bedrooms; that’s good use of what would otherwise be dead space.
All three bedrooms are well sized, and the floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the unit bring in plenty of natural light. The regular-shaped layout makes space planning straightforward, ideal for buyers who value practicality over gimmicks.
