Here Are The Rarest HDB Flats With Unblocked Views Yet Still Near An MRT Station
Million-dollar HDB flats are now common, but the ones that truly justify their price tend to share a few traits: good connectivity, liveable layouts, and views that actually add to daily life. This week’s selection focuses on larger 4- and 5-room flats that sit close to MRT stations or are surrounded by strong neighbourhood amenities, while also enjoying open, unblocked views. These are homes where the premium is not just about size, but about how the space, light, and surroundings come together to create a more pleasant place to live.

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 is a very strong city-fringe option, with Kallang MRT just nearby. Upper Boon Keng Market & Food Centre is close by, there are supermarkets and a food court within the neighbouring HDB cluster, and Sims Avenue and Geylang Road provide no shortage of everyday dining options. The park connector right outside also links directly to Kallang Riverside Park, which adds a nice lifestyle element to the location.
The unit sits on a high floor with an unblocked view of the Kallang River, and this outlook is shared by the living room and all three bedrooms, which is quite rare. The living and dining areas are nicely separated, with a built-in bench in the dining area that makes good use of the available space. A large mirror panel further opens up the dining zone visually. Three-quarter-height windows throughout allow plenty of natural light into every main room, while the kitchen offers generous top and bottom cabinets on both sides, plus a separate yard for laundry and storage.

Why I like it
This home sits close to Bukit Batok MRT and West Mall, with a food court and supermarket within the HDB cluster itself. The park connector that leads into Bukit Batok Nature Park is also nearby, giving this part of Bukit Batok a much greener and more relaxed feel.
The flat sits on a high floor with an unblocked view towards Bukit Timah Hill, and both the living room and all three bedrooms enjoy this outlook. A study has been carved out with a half-glass wall, which keeps the space feeling open while still giving you a proper work-from-home area. The living and dining zones are clearly separated, and the large mirror panels in the dining area help both spaces feel larger and brighter. The kitchen comes with a separate yard, and all three bedrooms are comfortably sized, making this a good fit for families who need proper, usable rooms.

Why I like it
This unit is in a very liveable part of Sengkang. Sengkang MRT and Compass One are within the vicinity, with Farmway LRT nearby, and Anchorvale Village sits right across the street with its hawker centre, supermarket, and shops. Sengkang Riverside Park is right next door, giving the area a calm, riverside atmosphere that is hard to find in most heartland estates.
The flat enjoys an unblocked view over the river and park, and this view is shared by the living room and all three bedrooms. Part of the proposed study has been turned into a dedicated pet room with floor-to-ceiling glass, which keeps both that space and the living area feeling open. There is also a small balcony off the living room that is large enough for some outdoor seating. The living and dining areas are well separated, the kitchen has good storage and a service yard, and a cabinet at the entrance adds privacy by blocking direct views into the home when the door is opened.

Why I like it
This flat is close to Khatib MRT, which comes with supermarkets and eateries in the surrounding area. There is also a food court and supermarket within the neighbouring HDB cluster, and Lower Seletar Reservoir Park is within the vicinity, giving residents access to one of the nicer waterfront green spaces in the North.
The unit enjoys dual views, with parts of the flat looking towards Orchid Country Club and others towards the reservoir park. It has a dumbbell layout, which means there is very little wasted corridor space and more usable internal area. The L-shaped living room allows you to clearly separate the living and dining zones, or even re-purpose part of it into a study or hobby space if you prefer. The L-shaped kitchen cabinetry also neatly defines a laundry area, and all three bedrooms are well sized, making this a practical home for families who want flexibility in how they use their space.

Why I like it
This is a quieter part of Ang Mo Kio, with Ang Mo Kio MRT and AMK Hub within the vicinity, and the future Tavistock MRT station also close by. Both Chong Boon and Cheng San markets are nearby, giving you plenty of everyday food options without needing to travel far.
The unit sits on a high floor and overlooks the Serangoon Garden Estate, which gives it a more open and landed-housing feel than most HDB flats. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area bring in a lot of light and make the space feel larger. The living and dining areas are clearly separated, and there is a balcony next to the dining area that can be used as a study, play space, or even a small green corner. The store is neatly tucked away near the entrance, and all three bedrooms are well sized, making this a solid family-friendly layout.

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.

You should also look at Block17/18/19 Cantonment Close. Particularly the ones facing the port. With port shifting in 2027 (and a replacement building blocking the view unlikely given the deep harbor) and Cantonment MRT coming downstairs this year, you have an insanely open vista into the south sea with Batam and other islands easily visible on a typical clear day.
