We Compared Old vs New Condos in One of Singapore’s Fastest-Growing Districts — Here’s What We Found for Family-Sized Units
November 11, 2025
District 5 (D5) has long carried the reputation as Singapore’s “education belt”, anchored by NUS and a network of higher education institutions such as INSEAD and ESSEC. But in recent years, the district has evolved beyond its academic roots. The transformation of One North into a thriving tech and media hub has drawn a new generation of professionals and investors, pushing D5 into a different territory: it now appeals equally to homeowners and landlords.
In our previous analysis, we examined how one- and two-bedroom units here performed across different project ages, and what that revealed about lease decay and long-term value. This time, we turn our attention to the larger segments.
How do three- and four-bedroom units in D5 stack up, and does age still play a defining role in their performance?
