For those celebrating the public holiday today, Selamat Hari Raya!
We know most people were looking forward to a gradual reopening of businesses in Singapore, with Real Estate being one of them - but it was not to be. It's been especially tough for those looking to sell their resale homes, with buyers understandably more keen to actually view the house being making a decision.
Nevertheless, you can still do your research online first while waiting for the situation to ease up! This week, we have a mix of old and new developments for your perusal - one of which features a stylish interior with wonderful views.

No. 1
Clementi Park
137 Sunset Way · Freehold · TOP 1985
Swipe · 5 photos
- Asking
- $1,900,000
- Price PSF
- $1,146.65
- Size
- 1,657 sqft
- Layout
- Bedrooms: 4 Bathrooms: 2
- District 21
- Developer City Development Limited
Why I like it
If you greatly value spacious living spaces and more serene environments, older developments such as this one at Clementi Park is hard to ignore.
Let me stress, you'd have to really value these characteristics as this development is located quite a distance into Sunset Way - it'll be tough without a car for sure.
Inconveniences aside, you get a truly serene living environment, big living spaces and a rather magically decorated front yard.

- Asking
- $3,310,000
- Price PSF
- $1,808,74
- Size
- 1,830 sqft
- Layout
- Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 3
- District 09
- Developer Changteik Towers Pte Ltd
Why I like it
One glance at the Astoria Apartment and you’d know its an old development, with its red bricked facade a dead giveaway.
Like Ryan’s selection of the week, old developments are still favoured by people mainly because of the spacious layouts and this one is no different. The other main selling point is the location at Cairnhill, as it is a short walk to the back of Paragon and the main Orchard Road.
Another plus point, it’s well renovated!

Citylights

- Asking
- $1,900,000
- Price PSF
- $1,317.61
- Size
- 1,442 sqft
- Layout
- Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 3
- District 08
- Developer CapitaLand Residential
Why I like it
Citylights might be more than 10 years old now but it is still a strong contender if you are looking at the Kallang area. Given how close it is to Lavender MRT, amenities, and the prized river view, you can't go very wrong with this location if you are looking for an own stay option.
There are quite a number of units for sale, so have your pick!

Eight Riversuites
2 Whampoa East · 99 years · TOP 2016

- Asking
- $1,980,000
- Price PSF
- $1,081.97
- Size
- 1,830 sqft
- Layout
- Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 3
- District 12
- Developer UE Development (Bendemeer) Pte Ltd
Why I like it
There are a number of positives for this unit. Close proximity to Boon Keng MRT, penthouse views over the city (fireworks views included), and quite a stylish interior to boot.
This condo might have been in the wrong side of the news recently, but it still remains a very feasible option in this part of the city. Even without the open rooftop with jacuzzi, the liveable layout is quite well organised.

Robinson Suites
50 Robinson Road · Freehold · TOP 2016
Swipe · 4 photos
- Asking
- $1,222,000
- Price PSF
- $2,468.69
- Size
- 495 sqft
- Layout
- Bedrooms: 1 Bathrooms: 1
- District 01
- Developer 50 Robinson Pte Ltd
Why I like it
At 495 square feet, this unit isn't going to win any awards for spacious living. But, it's one major selling point is its coveted freehold status, something that not many other developments in this part of Singapore can boast of.
Needless to say, the location is unbeatable if you are working in the CBD. Especially even if after the Covid-19 situation is over and you still are required to go back to office - living where you work really saves a ton on commute time.
Again, it's a really small living space (even with study included), so just take note on that.

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.
