Emerald Hill is a proven area for quality of life, if you want to stay within the Orchard area. It’s right alongside the shopping belt, but it retains its quality as a quiet enclave. The condos in this area have long been popular for striking that balance: privacy, but with convenience.
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.
111 Emerald Hill isn’t the loudest project here, but it exemplifies the location. At only 40 units, this freehold project overlooks the low-rise areas along Saunders Road and Emerald Hill Road. From Emerald Hill Road, you can stroll all the way down to Orchard Central and the Somerset MRT station (NSL), or turn on Emerald Link and head to The Heeren. From Somerset MRT station, it’s only a single stop to Orchard MRT; and those who drive can be on the shopping belt in less than five minutes.
One of the project’s highlights is a Type C1 four-bedroom unit, which spans a massive 2,497 sq ft.
Compared to nearby freehold four-bedders, this 2,497 sq ft unit at 111 Emerald Hill is among the most spacious, larger than Urban Suites (2,002–2,045 sq ft) and comparable to Urban Resort and Cairnhill Crest (around 2,100–2,400 sq ft). It also stands out for having private lift access, something only partly available at Cairnhill Crest and shared at Urban Resort.
This unit is large enough to accommodate a landscape orientation for the living/dining areas (placed side by side instead of one behind the other), which maximises the wide frontage of the balcony. The balcony itself is large enough to accommodate a furniture set, so hosting meals alfresco is a possibility.
The kitchen is divided into a wet kitchen (enclosable) with a WC, and an entertainment/dry kitchen, with a kitchen island that includes a sink and seats four; sufficient to serve as a bar. The wet kitchen features an optimised L-shaped layout and is well-ventilated with its window.
The Master Bedroom has its own balcony and view, and is easily large enough to accommodate any custom works, like a built-in wardrobe. Also, note that the master bathroom is large enough for a dual-sink vanity as well as a bathtub.
All the bedrooms are sizeable enough to fit a double bed, although one of the rooms uses a single bed (but doing so provides enough space for a work desk).
Private lift access rounds off features like the low unit count, making this ideal for those who want a quiet, non-busy lifestyle.
This particular unit also has a south-east facing, which means it catches the soft morning sun rather than the hotter afternoon sun; and it will be cooler from late afternoon onward. It’s currently being sold with vacant possession, with an asking price of $6.38 million.
Lastly, this is one of the rare units here that enjoys an unblocked view through to the Marina Bay area — a standout feature that elevates the appeal.
Nearby schools include Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), St. Margaret’s Primary, Chatsworth International (Orchard), and ISS International School, providing a good mix of local and international education options within easy reach.

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.
That’s where many readers ask us to help.
