Note: The second last transaction at Jalan Ketumbit and the third last transition at Jalan Keruing were in the $2 million+ region but they occurred in 2021. However, I’m still mentioning them as buyers/sellers often like to use past transaction data to anchor their pricing. At the time of writing, the lowest asking price was $3.85 million for a 2,313 sq ft 999-year terrace house. (More on this later.)
Today, as per a reader’s request, we’re off to view Seletar Hills estate, specifically Jalan Ketumbit, Jalan Keruing, Jalan Antoi, Jalan Kelulut, and Seletar Hills Drive. I’ve included a screenshot of Google Maps below to help you better visualise, but basically, we’re touring the pocket of land between Yio Chu Kang Road, Jalan Selaseh Park, Jalan Kelulut, and Jalan Keruing.

The first thing you may notice when you look at the map is the two rows of shophouses in the estate: one opposite Jalan Selaseh Park and one along Jalan Kelulut.













Now, if you’ve been following this landed series, you might think that I’ll be a big proponent of the area. (As a huge fan of village life, I usually extol the virtues of landed estates which have shophouses and open spaces in them.) Unfortunately, this isn’t an estate that I’d be super keen to move to. Now, I’m not saying it’s a bad estate, just that it’s not for me (if I could even afford it) – let me show you why in the photos of the walkabout!









However, for a landed estate, I must say there are quite a few amenities inside, which make life more convenient. Besides the two rows of shophouses I showed earlier, there’s another one just two roads down (but on lower-lying land.)







We’re quite near the main road here (still Yio Chu Kang Road) so let’s wander out to see what’s outside.

The area feels a bit desolate but walk a bit further down and there’s also a bus stop, where you can take buses 50, 70, 70M, 103, and 854.

Fun fact: Do you recognise the area? We were just across the road (behind the petrol station) when we toured the Gerald estate! (Bigger houses and a more spacious estate over on that side.)




Let me show you:










I’d say the crux of this estate is that not all houses are equal: you’ll need to choose carefully for the best quality of life.

For example the houses here not only have wider roads with no street parking outside them (easier to drive/walk) they even have a small driveway in front of their gate, allowing them to park more than one car. (For contrasting examples, scroll back to the earlier photos – not going to show one, as it won’t be far to single out any property in particular.)
If you have a more limited budget, there’s also a cluster house development here: Seletar View.



This brings us to the end of today’s walkabout – how did you find the area?
As mentioned earlier, although I find the area annoying to walk through, it does have a good number of amenities nearby! Besides the rows of shophouses within the estate, Seletar Hills is also very close to Greenwich V, a small mall about 10 minutes walk away (depending on which part of the estate you’re starting from) where you can find a Cold Storage, Toast Box, food court, Guardian, etc i.e. most of the amenities one would require is within walking distance. If that’s not enough, there’s also a Sheng Shiong about 20 minutes away at Jalan Kayu, a Giant about 10 minutes away at Buangkok Crescent, and Buangkok Square Mall about 12 minutes away. (No shortage of resources for kids such as a preschool, playland, dance academy and tuition centers at Buangkok Square Mall.)
In terms of the all-important primary schools, both Hougang Primary and Fernvale Primary are within 1 km of most houses in the area.
Unfortunately, you can’t have everything in life: like most landed estates, the public transport here is somewhat limited. There are the buses I mentioned earlier, but no MRT station close enough to (feasibly) walk to. (You could, however, take the LRT which is about 20 minutes away.)
Last but not least, let’s have a look at the previous transacted prices in the area since I mentioned them as a selling point:
