This week, we’re looking at some of the cheapest 5-room flats you can still find in central Singapore. While prices in mature and city-fringe estates have continued to climb, there are still pockets where larger HDB units remain within reach, as the following units prove. We’ve curated a selection of 5-room flats that stand out not just for their price, but for layouts, strong amenities, and centrality:

Why I like it
This Ang Mo Kio unit has strong everyday convenience. It’s about a 12-minute walk to Ang Mo Kio MRT and AMK Hub, and also within walking distance to the future Teck Ghee MRT station slated for completion around 2030. You’re close to Teck Ghee Court and Kebun Bahru markets, with plenty of food options nearby, and Bishan–Ang Mo Kio Park is just a short walk away.
Inside, this is a door-to-door unit, so there’s only one neighbour sharing the lift lobby. The living and dining areas are nicely segregated, and the living room balcony can be levelled out to create a larger internal space. The kitchen comes with an extra utility room, sliding doors to open up the dining area, and all three bedrooms are well sized.

Why I like it
This one really stands out for location. You’re just a short walk to Little India MRT, Tekka Market, Farrer Park MRT and City Square Mall, and also within walking distance to Rochor and Jalan Besar MRT stations. Food options are everywhere, and the park connector leading to Kallang Riverside Park is under a 15-minute walk away.
The layout is regularly shaped, which makes planning furniture easy. The living and dining area is unusually large and can be properly segregated, while the kitchen walls can be hacked if you prefer an open concept. All three bedrooms are well sized, and the home shelter is neatly tucked away.

Why I like it
This is a solid city-fringe option, about an eight-minute walk to Boon Keng MRT, with Bendemeer and Whampoa food centres both within walking distance. You’re also close to the park connector that links up to Kallang Riverside Park, which adds to day-to-day liveability.
The unit sits in a point block, with just four units per level, which helps with privacy. The layout is efficient with minimal wasted space, and the living and dining areas are clearly segregated. There’s a balcony with floor-to-ceiling windows at the dining area, all three bedrooms are well sized, and the store is tucked neatly into a corner.

Why I like it
This Bishan unit is within a 15-minute walk to Bishan MRT and Junction 8, with markets and eateries nearby and Bishan–Ang Mo Kio Park just a short walk away. It’s also within one kilometre of Pei Chun Public School, which will matter to some families.
It’s a corner unit, so privacy is better than average. The living and dining areas are nicely separated, and the living room comes with a good-sized balcony that can potentially be levelled out. Originally a four-bedroom layout, the space is easy to reconfigure, and every part of the unit is comfortably sized.

| Address | 9 Jalan Rumah Tinggi |

Why I like it
This unit is about a 15-minute walk to Queenstown MRT and close to ABC Brickworks and Alexandra Village food centres, with Anchorpoint and Queensway Shopping Centre also within walking distance. The nearby park connector links to the Rail Corridor, HortPark and Labrador Park, which is a big plus.
The layout is efficient with minimal wastage of space. The living and dining areas are both large and well segregated, and the balcony spanning the length of these areas has already been levelled out, making the space feel even bigger. The store is located in the kitchen, and all rooms are well sized.
