Unlike the more affordable HDBs, Singapore condos typically come with services and amenities, along with a heftier price tag. And with rising property prices that show no signs of cooling, the cost of purchasing a unit seems higher than ever.
Still, you’d be surprised to know that there are relatively affordable condos that aren’t located in far-flung areas – we’ve curated a list of 11 condos under $1,200,000 for you to look out for.
P.S. If you’re interested in any of these condos, you can reach out to the developer team here to arrange a viewing.
1. Sol Acres – 1-bedroom EC in Choa Chu Kang from $730,000

Even though it’s not located within the bustling city centre, Sol Acres still boasts easy connectivity to the rest of Singapore as it’s within half a kilometre of Keat Hong LRT station and Teck Whye LRT Station.
In terms of facilities, Sol Acres has a swimming pool, indoor gym, jacuzzi, pool deck, as well as BBQ pits and a multi-purpose hall and is surrounded by educational institutions, religious institutions, supermarkets and food centres.
You’ll find 1-bedroom units priced upwards of $730,000 on PropertyGuru, and listings for 2-bedders and 3-bedders going for slightly over $1M and $1.15M, respectively.
Part of the reason why you can get your hands on a Sol Acres unit for under a million dollars, a rarity for Singapore’s condos, is because it’s an EC. As an EC, it means that purchasing it now will yield better returns when it finally becomes privatised.
Price range: $730,000-$2,188,000
Size: 495sqft-1,442sqft
Tenure/ lease: 99-year leasehold
Completed in: 2018

We all know that psf prices rise the more central you go, but that doesn’t mean a central condo is way out of reach.

As if that’s not enough, since Mount Sophia Suites is so closeby to Plaza Singapura which means that you’ll have a short journey to Dhoby Ghaut MRT.
Being a smaller development with only 50 units means that residents get more privacy and don’t have to contend with many other residents over the gym and lap pool.

Singapore condos in good locations under $1.2M
Having amenities a stone’s throw away from your home is also a big plus; that’s why it’s considered prime land and sought after by many – and why it’s usually rare to see these flats going for less than $1.2M.
All good things come with a catch, so don’t be too disappointed that most condos under this budget only come with 1 or 2 bedrooms.
Instead, they’ll make up for any grievances you have with good accessibility, nearby amenities, and the facilities that the condos themselves provide; if this is what you prioritise, one of these condos might just be the forever home for you.
