HDB flats within 1KM of schools offer unparalleled convenience, buying parents and kids more sleep each morning. Some families are even willing to move to new neighbourhoods to be close to popular primary schools. Thankfully, affordable homes are within reach, even near some of Singapore’s top primary schools.
From 2022, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has come up with new distance guidelines that determine whether priority will be given when balloting for primary schools. Singapore citizens living within 1KM of their school of choice will be given highest priority admission.
We think all schools are good schools. But for the purposes of this article, we’ll look at HDB flats near schools considered to be the most oversubscribed in the 2A phase in 2023.
With that in mind, here are some affordable 3-room and 4-room flats within 1KM of popular primary schools and top primary schools. (Note that these units are some of the cheapest at the time of writing.)
