27 HDB Flats With The Best Views In Singapore: Here’s Where To Find Them
What’s the most pleasant part of your HDB flat to gaze at? That’s right, the number of zeros in its resale value. But besides that, you can also consider the windows. While some HDB flats give you an unblocked view of the neighbour’s kitchen, there are some with views that could rival a luxury condo.
Here are some of the HDB flats with the best views we found that could give you a fantastic greenery, waterfront or city view:

Highlights from some of the HDB flats with the best views:
1. Blocks overlooking the Kew landed enclave
Blk 152B Bedok South Road
This block overlooks the point where Bedok South Road meets Kew Crescent. The landed properties are mainly composed of terrace houses, and the view has few impediments. Apart from these blocks, there’s also the coveted sea views for certain stacks within the development. For those who are curious to know more about this HDB, you can read our full review of Bedok South Horizon.
But besides the view, there is one huge advantage coming to this area:
This HDB is very close to Bayshore Road – which is at the most a single bus stop away (some may consider it walkable). Bayshore Estate is planned as a new hub, and the developments there will be Plus category flats; so those seeking an alternative (i.e., flats without the 10-year MOP or income ceiling) may cast their gaze toward these Bedok South flats.
The upcoming developments in Bayshore will bring malls, eateries, and much-needed amenities; and the upcoming Bedok South MRT station (TEL) will be a single stop from Bayshore MRT.
The immediate location of this block is also reasonably convenient. Besides Temasek Primary being across the road, the nearby Siglap Community Centre has a supermarket. Coffee shops also dot the length of Bedok South, so it’s never too difficult to find an eatery.
The main issue is weak overall accessibility for now, as the MRT stations are being built. But as we’ve mentioned above, that’s going to be really soon in early 2024.
2. Pasir Park block overlooking a park, with a sea view
Blk 588C Pasir Ris Drive 3
Our next highlight for HDB flats with the best views goes to one that’s still under construction. Located in Pasir Ris, those staying on higher floors will be treated to greenery views at Pasir Ris Park as well as sea views beyond Pasir Ris Beach.
The location is reasonably convenient. Elias Mall, an HDB shopping centre, is within walking distance. This is sufficient for most day-to-day needs, and there’s a Sheng Siong close to the mall. Access to Pasir Ris Park is also good for families, as this is one of the largest family-oriented parks.
That said, this is not the most accessible part of Pasir Ris. You’ll need a bus connection to get to the train; and while Elias MRT station (TEL) will solve that, residents will be waiting till 2032 for that to come along. Larger malls, like White Sands, are also not within walking distance.
Choose this location if you treasure the old-school, kampung-like vibes of Pasir Ris, which has eroded in the areas close to White Sands and Downtown East.
3. Yuan Ching block with a view of Jurong Lake Gardens
Blk 333 Kang Ching Road
This block is right at the foot of the Jurong Lake Gardens area, one of the most photographed places in Singapore. This block, which has just 53 units, is also close to the main hawker centre (Taman Jurong Food Centre). Nearby you’ll also find an HDB-run mall, Taman Jurong Shopping Centre, which has an NTUC FairPrice.
Alternatively, residents can head in the direction of Block 352, where there’s a minimart and some other eateries. The main appeal though, is going to be walking access to the various gardens of Jurong Lake.
Proximity to the gardens also means the MRT is reasonably close by. Lakeside MRT (EWL). This is just two stops from Jurong East MRT (EWL, NSL), which is a retail powerhouse with JEM, IMM, and the recently redeveloped J’den.
The Jurong Lake District is still unfolding, so this area has room for appreciation; and the flats here may be more reasonably priced than those around Jurong East MRT, which have already priced in the improvements over the years.
4. East Coast Park block with a sea view
Blk 18 Marine Terrace
Located within the prestigious Marine Parade enclave, the flats here are not going to be cheap (if you can even find one up for grabs). But you’ll get what you pay for: this block has a great seafront view, along East Coast Beach – only slightly marred by the visibility of the ECP cutting across it.
This block is also within enrolment distance of several respectable schools. Tao Nan is within walking distance, while St. Patrick’s, CHIJ Primary, and CHIJ Katong Convent are all within one kilometre.
It’s also quite close to the East Coast lifestyle stretch, where you’ll find malls like i12 Katong, the Joo Chiat Foodie area, and Parkway Parade. Unfortunately, it’s too far to walk, but there are bus services nearby. The surrounding HDB enclave is also quite well developed, with its own coffee shops, minimarts, and other heartland amenities.
In any case, once the Thomson East Coast line is up in early 2024, Marine Terrace MRT station will just be a short walk away. This solves the longstanding MRT accessibility issue of this part of the East, and is a significant upgrade for residents here.
5. Ghim Moh block with greenery view, and facing a landed enclave
Block 32 Ghim Moh Link
Ghim Moh is one of the most desirable areas in Queenstown and HDB developments like this exemplify the reason. This particular block overlooks both greenery and a landed enclave, which is a rare view in such a densely packed and mature area.
The area is also immensely convenient, with an NTUC and a Sheng Siong both within walking distance. The block is also within walking distance to Buona Vista MRT (EWL, CCL), which is one stop from the One-North tech and media hub, and two stops from Holland Village. Buona Vista MRT is also next to The Star Vista, the major mall servicing this area.
Dover MRT, which is one stop away, is right next to Singapore Polytechnic (you could walk there too). Coupled with the location near One-North, flats here have high rentability, with regard to both foreign students and workers.
Flats in this area have been notorious for hitting the million-dollar mark though, so brace yourself for high Cash Over Valuation (COV).
