*This is the exact spelling on the street sign, even if Punggol is a more common spelling these days; and yes, “seventeenth” is spelled out.
I visited Ponggol a few years ago, to collect some plants from a kind stranger who offered them to me. When I got there, I was very impressed by her house: it was huge, located in a spacious estate with few neighbours, and even had a view of the sea. We’ve never explored a rare landed estate in Ponggol before, so this incident reminded me it would make a good walkabout for today’s article:
It took around a 30-minute drive from the CBD, and the estate was pretty charming. Unfortunately, I realised Ponggol Seventeenth Avenue was not the same one with the sea view I remembered; but it was interesting enough to still take a look, and we can save the sea-view area for another walkabout:


But, anyway, back to the subject on hand – the estate!



By the way, despite the spaciousness of the estate, it’s not cut off from the rest of the world; that’s the LRT track shown above; the LRT is quite close. If you turn left, you’ll also end up at Northshore Plaza.

I was taken enough to do a Google search about the development. Unfortunately, the reviews aren’t great:

The other negative ratings had no comments, or were by unhappy delivery drivers. (Not to discount the experience of a delivery driver, but I’m not sure whether that information would be relevant for a potential resident, since the two would have different criteria as to what makes a good development – for example, the delivery driver may not care if there are kids yelling all day long but a resident might.)




Here’s where the cluster housing ends, and the regular houses start. As you may have noticed, there’s even a small space between the two dividing walls.

Check out this creative use of a tree:


to work on their relationship.






It’s not that we don’t find houses in the same style in other parts of Singapore; but the vibe isn’t the same when the houses are all crammed next to each other.

I’m pointing the new houses out as, although the area feels spacious, that may change when new residents move in. Just look at these two units: the new unit is much closer to the boundary wall than the old unit. If all the new builds here are so built up, the estate will soon feel no different from other landed enclaves in Singapore.





You can hardly find spaces like this in Singapore now. But as we all know, nothing lasts forever, especially when it comes to property in Singapore. Open spaces usually mean future development, so let’s go take a look at the Masterplan.

I very much enjoyed my walkaround today but, before we go, there are two things to highlight. First, potential traffic congestion. Punggol is known to have traffic issues (see this 2018 article.)

Now that we’ve reached the end, how did you find the estate?

Not quite sure what you mean by Google giving you the wrong directions into the estate, but if you were coming from the TPE and had exited via Punggol Way, you would have to indeed turn right. All the roads in this estate are two-way streets so you wouldn’t be possibly driving against the flow of traffic. Another important point missed is the fact that it is very close to the new Punggol Coast MRT station. By walking towards the other end of 17th Ave, it takes a mere 5-10 minute walk (depending on which part of the estate you are in) to Punggol Coast Mall, which takes you directly to the MRT & bus interchange. Plans have called for this end of the street to be pedestrianised, enhancing it to be a “boulevard extension” of Punggol Digital District’s Campus Boulevard. The future Punggol Coast hawker centre is located right here as well and faces the estate. All in all, I feel that this estate may be highly sought after in the future thanks to nearby conveniences, despite the bad rep with traffic and the planned high-rises around the estate.
