Here Are 5 Of The Biggest And Cheapest HDB Flats Near MRT Stations — Under $1M
One clear issue has happened in Singapore’s HDB market over the past few years: genuinely huge homes have become not just rare, but very expensive – on par with prices once associated with condos. This week, we looked at oversized HDB homes near MRT stations – including jumbo flats, Executive Apartments, and maisonettes – that still offer room for intergenerational living. We were also careful to make sure they’re under $1 million.

Now let’s get on with the list of curated units this week!
Shortlists like this are a useful starting point, but the units that make the list aren’t necessarily the ones that make the most sense for your budget, lifestyle or long-term plans.
The harder part comes afterwards: comparing the trade-offs, evaluating the numbers, and deciding which home is actually the best fit for your situation.
Over time, that’s also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.

Why I like it
This jumbo flat is near Marsiling MRT (NSL), while also being right next to Woodlands Town Park East. The nearby park connector links all the way to Marsiling Park, Woodlands Waterfront, and Admiralty Park, so this location will especially appeal to buyers who enjoy greenery and outdoor spaces. There are also plenty of coffee shops and eateries among the surrounding HDB clusters, so daily convenience is well covered.
At over 1,800 sq ft, this is the sort of size that’s increasingly difficult to replicate today unless you move into landed housing. The unit sits on the top floor with only one immediate neighbour, which adds a surprising degree of privacy for an HDB flat. The main entrance also opens into a long private walkway, creating additional separation from the common corridor.The layout is especially flexible. Two bedrooms have already been combined into one larger room with sliding partitions. The open kitchen also makes the already-large living and dining areas feel even more spacious, while the sizeable kitchen can still be divided into wet and dry sections if preferred.

This Executive Maisonette is within walking distance of the future Corporation MRT station (JRL), which is expected to complete around 2028. It’s also near Hong Kah Point Market and Food Centre, along with the usual spread of neighbourhood eateries and amenities that long-time Jurong West residents will already be familiar with.
At just over 1,700 sq ft, this is a very substantial family-sized home. The unit has been reconfigured over time, with the original balcony and living area converted into two additional bedrooms; resulting in a total of five bedrooms. For larger households, multi-generational living, or buyers who need extensive work-from-home space, this level of flexibility is increasingly rare today.The dining and living spaces remain properly segregated despite the modifications, and the original utility room has been hacked to enlarge the dining area leading toward the kitchen. Upstairs, the three bedrooms are especially spacious compared to modern layouts. While the unit sits on a mid floor, it still enjoys an unblocked view with strong natural light throughout the day.

Why I like it
This Executive Maisonette is near Yuhua Village Market & Food Centre, while also being a short walk to the park connector leading toward Jurong Lake Gardens. There are plenty of food options among the neighbouring HDB clusters, and the surrounding area has a mature, lived-in feel that many long-time Jurong East residents may appreciate.
At almost 1,700 sq ft, this maisonette offers enormous communal spaces by modern standards. The access balcony has already been incorporated into the layout, resulting in especially large and well-separated living and dining areas. The utility room has also been hacked to create a flexible transition space near the kitchen, which could function as a study area, reading nook, or additional storage zone.The kitchen itself is especially sizeable, and all three upstairs bedrooms remain comfortably proportioned. This unit will probably appeal most to buyers who intend to do a major revamp and fully customise the space to their preferences, as the bones and layout flexibility here are genuinely difficult to find today.

This Executive Apartment is around an 11-minute walk to Tampines MRT station (EWL, DTL), where you’ll also find the cluster of malls around Tampines Central. Sun Plaza Park and Tampines Eco Green are nearby as well, so there’s a nice balance between convenience and outdoor space here.
At over 1,600 sq ft, this is a very substantial apartment-sized home. What makes it especially interesting however is the unusual layout: the living room and all three bedrooms sit on one side of the unit, while the kitchen and dining areas occupy the other. This creates a degree of separation between communal and private areas that feels quite different from most flats today.The unit also enjoys full privacy with no direct neighbours. There’s an additional utility room beside the dining area, while the kitchen comes with a separate service balcony as well. Buyers who enjoy unconventional layouts or want clearer separation between entertaining and resting spaces may find this especially appealing.

This Executive Apartment is around a 12-minute walk to Yew Tee MRT station (NSL), Yew Tee Point, and Yew Tee Square. Limbang Shopping Centre is also nearby, with a wet market, supermarket, and numerous food options. For nature lovers, there’s also easy access to the park connector leading toward the Rail Corridor.
At over 1,600 sq ft, this unit offers a lot of breathing room compared to newer homes today. It sits on a high floor with unblocked views, which brings in plenty of natural light throughout the unit. The living and dining areas are properly segregated, while the open kitchen helps the dining area feel even more expansive.The kitchen itself is especially sizeable and comes with an island counter, generous storage space, and a separate service balcony. The bedroom wing is also tucked away from the communal areas, and buyers could potentially further enclose the walkway for even more privacy. The master bedroom additionally comes with a walk-in wardrobe, which adds to the more “apartment-like” feel of the home overall.
Round-ups like this are a good place to start a shortlist, but the real work begins when you start comparing the final few options, looking beyond the headline criteria to decide which property is the best fit for your own situation.

There’s a mistake in number 5. If it’s in Marsiling/Woodlands, it can’t be near to Yew Tee.
