| Address | 178 Woodlands Street 13 |
| Size | 1,356 sq ft |
| $PSF | $413 |
| TOP date | 1984 |
Why I like it
I really like this corner unit because it feels bright and airy on the high floor. The living and dining areas are clearly separated, making it easy to entertain or enjoy personal space. The balcony is a nice spot to relax, and the long kitchen has enough room to add a service yard if needed. All three bedrooms are well-sized, and even the irregular corners don’t interfere with usability.
The location is convenient. Marsiling MRT is just an eight-minute walk, while Marsiling Mall provides a hawker centre and shops for groceries and meals. Additional food options are nearby, and Marsiling Park offers a pleasant route to Woodlands Waterfront and Admiralty Park.

Jurong West Street 91

| Attribute | Info |
| Address | 919 Jurong West Street 91 |
| Size | 1,367 sq ft |
| $PSF | $417 |
| TOP date | 1987 |
Why I like it
This corner unit immediately feels private, as the entrance opens onto a balcony rather than directly into the home. The balcony is separated from the living area with a sliding door, adding flexibility. The high-floor position fills the living and dining areas with natural light, and the generously sized kitchen offers the option to create a fourth bedroom.
The neighbourhood is quiet yet convenient. Pioneer MRT is under 20 minutes on foot, and there’s a wet market, supermarket, various eateries, and a coffee shop nearby. It balances peaceful living with accessibility.

$578,888
| Attribute | Info |
| Address | 472 Choa Chu Kang Avenue 3 |
| Size | 1,302 sq ft |
| $PSF | $445 |
| TOP date | 1997 |
Why I like it
I like this unit for its mix of convenience and nature. Choa Chu Kang MRT and Lot One are under 15 minutes on foot, while the future Choa Chu Kang West MRT will be just five minutes away once ready. Sunshine Place is nearby for groceries and meals. The park connector leads to Choa Chu Kang Park, the Rail Corridor, Bukit Batok Town Park, and Little Guilin. Facing the treeline, the unit still receives ample light.
The living and dining areas feel spacious as the original study and balcony have been merged. The kitchen is generous with a sizeable service yard. All three bedrooms are well-sized, and a fourth bedroom can be added. A feature wall hides the home shelter entrance neatly.

4 Marsiling Drive
$580,000
| Attribute | Info |
| Address | 10 Marsiling Drive |
| Size | 1,356 sq ft |
| $PSF | $428 |
| TOP date | 1975 |
Why I like it
This point-block unit feels private and practical, with only four units per floor. The living and dining areas are spacious, and the living room extension adds extra usable space. The balcony beside the dining area sits between two bedrooms and could become a small extra room or remain flexible. The kitchen layout allows a service yard if desired, and the absence of a hallway maximises space.
Marsiling MRT is a slightly longer walk at 21 minutes, but Marsiling Lane Food Centre is just five minutes away, with other supermarkets and eateries nearby. Marsiling Park is also within walking distance, perfect for outdoor walks or weekend relaxation.

| Attribute | Info |
| Address | 240 Yishun Ring Road |
| Size | 1,313 sq ft |
| $PSF | $449 |
| TOP date | 1984 |
Why I like it
This high-floor unit stands out for its bright and airy feel. The living and dining areas are well separated, and the balcony is a nice spot to relax or enjoy the view. All three bedrooms are generous, and even the irregular common room functions well. Most internal walls can be hacked, making it easy to adjust the layout, while the kitchen is spacious enough for daily needs.
The location is convenient. Yishun MRT and Northpoint City are a 10-minute walk, with Junction Nine nearby. Food options in neighbouring HDB blocks are plentiful, and Yishun Park and the pond are within walking distance, ideal for evening strolls or weekend leisure.
