Last week, we visited First and Second Streets in the East: they’re part of a set of numbered streets, so I thought it would be interesting to check out their neighbours, Third and Fourth Street, too. In my previous article (which toured First & Second Street), I mentioned that First Street and Second Street reminded me of the numbered Avenues in Bukit Timah: just like how the houses on Third Avenue (in Bukit Timah) are (generally) larger than the ones on First Avenue (where you not only find GCBs but also semi_Ds), the houses on Third and Fourth Street are larger than the ones on First and Second Street. Let’s go take a look so you can see for yourself!

But first things first, the map and Master Plan of the area. Similar to First and Second Streets, Third and Fourth Streets are not zoned 1.4 (unlike many landed estates in the East.) Third and Fourth Streets also benefit from more privacy than First Street, whilst enjoying the proximity to the same conveniences.
For example, the entrance to the basement carpark of Siglap V is on First Street, which means that there will be a fair number of non-residents visiting the estate (they need to drive through to park their cars.) Personally, whilst I like being walking distance to amenities- for example, there is a Cold Storage, Guardian, and Craftsman Coffee in Siglap V- I would find the steady influx of non-residents driving down the street a little annoying. Keep in mind that it’s not just visitors to Siglap V, but likely also visitors to other houses in the area unable to find parking who will drive over to Siglap V to park. Third Street is linked to Second Street so it’s just a stone’s throw away from Siglap V (about four minutes’ walk), but they’re not as close to the car park entry.


I was unable to get a direct photograph of the playground as there were too many people inside. I try not to capture people’s faces so as not to infringe on their privacy.



























How did you find the area? Do you prefer this part of the East or do you like First Street or Second Street better? To help you make up your mind, let’s look at the recent sales transactions. Price is a huge factor in one’s decisions after all.

It used to be a no-brainer for me. But over the years, I’ve been forced to admit that some middlemen…

The last sale at Third Street took place in 2025- for a not-small sum of $11.38 million.

Fourth Street is slightly less “expensive”- $8 million-ish, but this is for a semi-detached unit, whilst the unit on Third Street is a detached house. In case you need a refresher, the last sale at First Street was for $4.8 million and $3 million for Second Streets; so almost half the price, albeit for sales that took place in 2022 and 2021 respectively. At the time of writing there were units for sale on Third Street and Fourth Street starting from $6.815 million.
In terms of amenities, Third Street and Fourth Street are sin between three zones of commercial units: Siglap Centre & Siglap V (covered in the First Street article, a row of shophouses over at Figaro Street where you’ll find bakeries & Springleaf Prata), and another row on Upper East Coast Road (a bit more “atas” with Tiong Bahru Bakery, a yakitori bar, and cheese shop) You’re really spoilt for choice here!
This brings us to the end of today’s tour: let me know in the comments which landed enclave you prefer, or if there’s another you’d like covered in this series! See you again next week!
