Not everyone likes having a balcony in their home, but for those who do and have a budget – these are quite rare to come by in an HDB flat.
This week, we’re zooming in on five HDB flats that check all the right boxes: more space (yes, including balconies) and a starting price tag of $950K.
Ranging from a comfortable 1,150 square feet to an expansive 1,572 square feet, these homes may need some renovation dollars.

Why I like it
This sizeable home is located close to green spaces like Pasir Ris Beach, Pasir Ris Town Park, and Tampines Eco Green, making it a pleasant area for those who appreciate the outdoors and tranquillity.
The area is fairly accessible, with Pasir Ris MRT Station (East-West Line) about 16 minutes away on foot. The station is conveniently near White Sands Mall and the newly opened Pasir Ris Mall. Everyday conveniences are easily found at Downtown East, Pasir Ris Hawker Centre, and the HDB cluster across the block, which hosts coffee shops and small stores. By 2030, the new Pasir Ris East MRT Station (Cross Island Line) will further improve the area’s connectivity.
At 1,572 square feet, this Executive Maisonette provides a spacious layout spread over two floors. The upper level is dedicated to three original bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the lower level includes the living and dining areas, a kitchen, a WC, and a balcony. An extra bedroom has been added to the dining area, making it practical for families with members who may prefer to avoid stairs.
The balcony connects both the kitchen and the living room. Originally designed with double-volume ceilings, it now features a false ceiling (which can be removed if preferred).

Why I like it
Situated just across from a landed enclave, this unit is a good balance between being well-connected and maintaining a peaceful atmosphere.
The location is accessible, with Upper Changi MRT Station (Downtown Line) just a 5-minute walk away and Simei MRT Station (East-West Line) an 11-minute walk in the other direction. Eastpoint Mall is also nearby, and for those willing to venture slightly further, Changi City Point provides additional shopping and dining options. Drivers will appreciate the ease of access to major expressways like the PIE, ECP, and TPE.
This 5-room DBSS unit spans 1,151 square feet, all on a single level – ideal for those who prefer a straightforward layout. It includes three spacious bedrooms (with the flexibility to add a study), two bathrooms, a compact kitchen with a service yard, a home shelter, and a living area that opens to a well-sized balcony. The balcony offers partially unblocked views of the surrounding landed enclave, creating a pleasant sense of openness.
The current owners have maximised the space by relocating the dining set to the balcony, allowing for a more open living area indoors.

Why I like it
This Executive Apartment in Canberra could be the ideal fit for those seeking convenience and space. A 10-minute walk takes you to Sembawang MRT Station (North-South Line) and Sun Plaza, while Bukit Canberra (a lifestyle hub offering a hawker centre, swimming pool, library, polyclinic, gym, and sports hall) is just around the corner. If you don’t mind a slightly longer walk, Sembawang Shopping Centre is also within reach, providing even more options for dining and retail.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Sembawang Hot Spring Park, a charming natural retreat in the neighbourhood. The area is also set to see future growth with the North-South Corridor scheduled to open in 2027, enhancing connectivity for residents.
Inside, the 1,518-square-foot layout offers plenty of room for family living. You’ll find three bedrooms, a study that’s large enough to convert into a fourth bedroom, two bathrooms, and a spacious living and dining area.

Nestled in the Whampoa area, this 5-room flat offers the kind of convenience and space that’s becoming harder to find. Located within walking distance of Toa Payoh MRT Station (North-South Line), it’s a spot where good food options abound.
Those looking to stay connected, Novena MRT Station is just a short bus ride away, making it ideal whether you’re taking public transport or driving.
For daily conveniences, you’ll find Whampoa Makan Place & Market and Zhongshan Mall close by, while Balestier Road offers an impressive lineup of eateries for the days you feel like dining out. If you’re craving some outdoor time, the park connector nearby takes you straight to Kallang Riverside Park.

This 1,572 square feet Executive Maisonette in Choa Chu Kang offers a useful layout that balances communal living with private spaces. Located an 8-minute walk from Choa Chu Kang MRT Station (North-South Line) and Lot One Shopping Mall, it’s a convenient base for families.
The upcoming Choa Chu Kang West MRT Station (Jurong Region Line) will cut the walking distance to just 5 minutes upon its completion in 2027, adding even more appeal to the location.
Living here means having essential amenities close at hand. Sunshine Place and Keat Hong Shopping Centre are within walking distance for daily necessities, while Choa Chu Kang Park and its park connector to the Rail Corridor offer plenty of green spaces for recreation and exercise.
Inside, the layout is practical and family-friendly. The upper floor houses three generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, ensuring privacy for the sleeping quarters. Meanwhile, the fourth bedroom on the lower floor is a thoughtful addition for those with family members who may find stairs a challenge. The living and dining areas are expansive, with a high-ceiling balcony that’s accessible from both the living area and kitchen.

Hey Ryan,
You might also want to look at Waterway Brooks or along that Punggol Promenade Walk stretch. There are flats with balconies that not many want to sell.
