Priced at $1,080,000 for a 786sqft unit, or $1,374psf, and TOP-ed in 2019, Symphony Suites at Yishun is practically fresh out of the oven. Read: no peeling paint, and no popping tiles, because it’s almost brand new. There are only 4 units per floor, so you won’t be breathing down your neighbours’ necks, and vice versa.
The layout of this unit is simple and practical, without weird corners or odd shapes, making furniture placement as easy as binge-watching your favourite series.

Located near the edge of Yishun, the property enjoys a quiet environment and a touch of sea breeze from the Johor Strait. The listing says it’s fully furnished and move-in ready, so all you really need to bring is your personal effects and you’re set.
Families with kids will love that schools like Chongfu School, Northland Secondary, and Huamin Primary are all within 1km. Plus, Junction 9 shopping mall is just a short 5- to 7-minute walk away, AKA perfect for a snack run.
In short, Symphony Suites offers new, breezy, and quiet living under $1.2m, making it a sweet spot for anyone who wants comfort and privacy.
2. Parc Rosewood━Rosewood Drive

If $1,000,000 for a 3-bedroom condo sounds like music to your ears, Parc Rosewood might just hit the right note. This 829sqft unit, at $1,206psf, sits on a 99-year leasehold plot of land, and TOP-ed in 2014, still in move-in-ready, fully furnished condition. The layout is nicely squarish, so furniture placement is straightforward.
The unit’s orientation is another plus: the main door faces true south while the balcony faces true north, which means you can avoid the harsh morning and evening suns and keep the flat cooler, which is a small but sweet blessing in Singapore’s heat.

Connectivity is solid too: residents have access to 2 MRT lines through Woodlands MRT Station on the North-South Line (NSL), and Woodlands South MRT Station on the new Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). Shopping is also a breeze with Causeway Point and Vistapoint within walking distance. Families with kids will appreciate the 5 primary schools located within 1km of Parc Rosewood, and drivers will be happy knowing the BKE and SLE are just a 5-minute drive away.
In short, Parc Rosewood offers comfort and convenience without burning too big a hole in your wallet.
3. The Watercrest━Loyang Besar Close

Going at $990,000 for an 829sqft unit, which works out to about $1,194psf, The Watercrest is an older condo amongst those on this list. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment TOP-ed in 1999 but comes with a 999-year lease, which is basically freehold, but not quite.
You get lots of windows and natural light, which is great, but some of the built-ins may need updating, though it’s nothing a little renovation magic can’t fix. The listing also highlights the high ceiling in the unit and the property’s peaceful surroundings; The Watercrest is only a 10-minute stroll to both Pasir Ris Beach and Pasir Ris Park.
Convenience-wise, you’re also just 5 minutes away from Downtown East, where you’ve got everything from food courts to a cinema, a bowling alley, and even a theme park. And if you’re a frequent traveller, or a frequent shopper at Jewel, the airport is just a short hop away.
All in all, The Watercrest is perfect for those who love quiet coastal living, want the flexibility of getting to renovate the apartment, and appreciate a lease that basically outlives everyone.
4. Eco Sanctuary━61 Chestnut Drive

At $1,168,000 for a 775sqft unit, or that’s about $1,507psf, Eco Sanctuary is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home which TOP-ed in 2016 on a 99-year lease. But here’s the twist: it’s really 2 bedrooms plus 1 study room, which makes it a surprisingly flexible space depending on your lifestyle.
With a cosy balcony and plenty of natural light, the unit feels bright and airy. It’s partially furnished but honestly looks pretty well-maintained, so you won’t be stepping into a “half-done reno” situation.

This layout is perfect for DINKs, or even singles who want the extra room for hobbies━whether it be a gaming cave, music studio, or even a shrine for your Labubus.
Location-wise, it’s within 1km of Pending LRT Station, so you enjoy easy connectivity to Bukit Panjang MRT Station, where the Downtown Line can bring you to the CBD in less than 40 minutes. And within 1.5km, you’ve got everything you need: Bukit Panjang Primary, M.Y World Preschool, Dairy Farm Mall, and Giant Express.
5. Regentville━Hougang Street 92

Regentville is one of those older 99-year developments from the early 2000s that still holds its charm due to its location. It isn’t smack in the middle of the bustling town centre, and neither is it too far out, a little bit of “just right” as Goldilocks puts it.
At $1,200,000 for a spacious 980sqft, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit, this home gives you plenty of room to play with because the layout comes with a quirky diagonal wall in the living/dining area. This condo TOP-ed in 2000, so there’s 74 years left on the lease.

The interior has vinyl and parquet flooring, and is lightly furnished, making it a blank canvas if you’ve always dreamed of planning your own aesthetic.
Location-wise, Regentville scores well on convenience. It’s just 800m from Hougang MRT Station, and its proximity to Hougang One, Hougang Plaza, and The Midtown means you’ve got plenty of options all around. Families will also appreciate that this condo is near schools like Holy Innocents’ Primary and Secondary Schools, as well as Xinmin Secondary School.
6. Northoaks━Woodlands Crescent

If you’ve been searching for a condo that gives you actual room to breathe, Northoaks might just be the one for you. At $1,180,000 for a massive 1,249sqft, 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom unit, this 24-year-old, 99-year leasehold development offers the kind of space you rarely see for less than $1.2m anymore.
This isn’t just “spacious for a condo”, but straight up spacious. The bedrooms are large enough to fit built-in cabinets, desks, and even an extra mahjong table if your relatives suddenly appear.

The unit comes partially furnished, with an equally roomy living area that’s perfect for gatherings or just enjoying the luxury of not bumping into furniture while walking. The kitchen even has built-in top and bottom cabinetry, so storage space won’t be a problem.

1 of the bedrooms also features a diagonal layout, a fun little quirk that gives the space character.
Location-wise, Northoaks sits about 900m from Admiralty MRT Station. And with a Giant supermarket and Admiralty Place nearby, groceries, food, and everyday essentials are all within reach.
In short, this makes a solid pick for families who want room to grow, or simply room to stretch.
