A few weeks ago, I wrote about Bournemouth Road, a landed estate in Katong where prices start(ed) from $5 million (at the time of writing, at least.) Before the article was published, I knew there would be feedback about how the estate is priced out of reach for most people (and yes there were comments about the price.) Unfortunately, landed property- or any property in Singapore comes with a hefty price tag, and there’s not much I can do about that.
However, there is good news for people who liked what they saw in the Bournemouth walkabout but whose pockets don’t run that deep – there are some terrace houses in the same neighbourhood, just a few streets down, over at Swanage Road. Let’s head over to take a look!

Before we start, here’s a map for your reference. Bournemouth Road is right at the bottom of the screenshot, and Swanage Road is right at the top. Both lead onto Tanjong Katong Road so have access to the many shophouses there. (There are more commercial units on the Swanage end as compared to the Bournemouth end.) Across Tanjong Katong Road is Tanjong Katong Girl’s School. Just behind Swanage Road is the upcoming Grand Dunman. However, the condo has its own separate road leading into it, so you don’t have to worry about the condo traffic clogging up Swanage Road.
There are different types of units on Swanage Road, which is shaped like an E that faces the sky: terrace units, semi-Ds, and I believe even one detached unit.










































Before we go, here’s a list of the last few transacted prices. As mentioned, there was a sale for $ 3.5 million in 2023, but the last sale in 2024 was for $4.4 million. (The $4.4 million sale commanded an almost 25% increase in PSF as compared to the previous 2 sales.)
