When it comes to finding a new home, space is often non-negotiable—but in land-scarce Singapore, balancing size and budget can feel like an uphill battle.
That said, if you’re open to exploring locations that aren’t right in the thick of the action, we’ve handpicked five of the most affordable 4-room flats this week. Starting from just $490K and offering generous sizes above 1,100 square feet, these homes are proof that spacious living doesn’t always come with a sky-high price tag.
Do note, however, that these units aren’t the closest to an MRT station. But for those who value space and affordability, they’re certainly worth a look.

Why I like it
While it’s not the closest to an MRT station, this block in Jurong West strikes a balance between accessibility and amenities. Within walking distance, you’ll find several eateries, a supermarket, a wet market, and even a sports centre. The neighbourhood’s slightly further-out location also means it’s generally quieter and more peaceful – though naturally, this might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
The nearest MRT, Pioneer (EWL), is not within walking distance – so you’ll need a bus connection.
Spanning 1,108 square feet, the unit features a squarish layout that optimises space. The living room is particularly spacious, offering plenty of flexibility for larger families or those who might want to carve out a fourth bedroom. The three bedrooms are well-sized, and with two bathrooms, it’s practical for family living.
The kitchen follows the same squarish and efficient theme, with adequate space for storage, a window that doubles as a yard area, and even a store room. What’s more, the walls are largely hackable, giving you the freedom to reconfigure the layout to suit changing needs.
Sitting on a high floor, the unit also has a bright and breezy atmosphere.

Why I like it
Situated near the PIE and the up-and-coming Tengah estate, this 1,119 square feet unit offers a practical and efficient layout. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a squarish living area, and a long kitchen, it’s designed to cater to families seeking a functional and spacious home without unnecessary frills.
The long kitchen presents the opportunity to create a service yard, adding to the practicality of the space for families who want a dedicated yard area.Being a door-to-door unit, you also gain the benefit of added privacy, with just one neighbour sharing the lift lobby.
The location offers a well-rounded mix of amenities. Within walking distance, you’ll find a wide selection of eateries, a hawker centre, a supermarket, a wet market, and even a sports and swimming complex. For a change of scenery, Jurong Lake Gardens is also nearby.
Chinese Garden MRT Station (EWL) is too far to walk though, and with the Tengah estate still in development, residents can expect more amenities in years to come.

Why I like it
Bukit Panjang is often celebrated for its greenery, and this unit is no exception. Living here means being surrounded by nature, with Chestnut Nature Park and Zhenghua Park nearby.
For everyday conveniences, both Segar and Fajar LRT stations are within walking distance, where you’ll find eateries and a supermarket on either station. From there, the LRT takes you straight to Bukit Panjang MRT Station (DTL), which is connected to Hillion Mall and Bukit Panjang Plaza for more amenities.
At 1,119 square feet, this unit is well-sized and comes with a squarish layout, maximising efficiency. It features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, but the spacious living area provides the flexibility to carve out a fourth bedroom if needed. Additionally, the largely hackable walls offer the potential to reconfigure the layout to suit your needs.

Why I like it
Located near the Sembawang Hot Springs, this Yishun unit offers a good amount of space and the convenience of being within walking distance to daily amenities.
Yishun MRT Station (NSL) and the expansive Northpoint City, with its wide variety of food, shopping, and grocery options, are too far to walk. If walking isn’t your thing, you can always opt for a 15-minute bus ride instead. For more local charm, the popular Chong Pang Market and Food Centre is just around the corner, along with several eateries tucked within the nearby HDB clusters.
While the unit isn’t the most squarish in layout, it still offers a spacious 1,173 square feet and does not compromise on its functionality. It features three well-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, a store room, a good-sized living area, and a kitchen large enough to fit a 4-seater dining set.
With most of the walls being hackable, there’s the potential to reconfigure the space to match your preferences.

Why I like it
Located just one block from Zhenghua Park and the expansive Chestnut Nature Park, this Bukit Panjang unit is ideal for those who enjoy being surrounded by nature. It’s one of those locations that buyers either love or pass on, but if greenery is a key factor for you, this one’s worth considering.
For everyday essentials, you’re well covered with the Bukit Panjang Hawker Centre & Market and Bangkit Market right next door. There are also a good range of eateries nearby if you’re looking for more variety. With Bangkit LRT Station within walking distance, you’re three stops from Bukit Panjang MRT Station (DTL), Hillion Mall, and Bukit Panjang Plaza.
At 1,108 square feet, this unit offers a well-sized living area, which opens up the option for a fourth bedroom if needed. The kitchen is also flexible, allowing for the addition of a service yard if required.
