Housing in Singapore

As passion for architecture and love for Singapore, I made own research about Singapore housing since 2009. I published it originally as a single article “Singapore HDB History, Photos, Statistics and Floor Plans” in December 2009, added BTO & DBSS list in March 2011, EC list, SERS list and other 10+ more pages in 2012, split up HDB Statistics and HDB Price Trends from original article in 2012, and so on.

All info related to housing in Singapore is moved to www.housingmap.sg since October 2024.

Singapore HDB

Singapore HDB database

Collecting data from multiple sources, I spent 500+ hours entering data in one Excel table: block number, street address, postal code, GPS coordinates, construction year, lease commence date, number of floors, number of units breakdown by flat type, upgrading programmes, brochures and floor plans, etc. I sold database to companies including home insurance, telecommunication, door-to-door services, real estate portals, flyer distributors, etc.

I explored all corners of Singapore via Google Earth and screened the best houses I saw, a variety of bungalows, semi-detached and terraced houses. Do you know other houses? Tell me the address and I may add in the poll. The voting results may influence the future of houses designed by me. Singapore houses are the most beautiful in the world. Due to country size, only few people, the rich class can afford a landed property. Terraced houses have usually 4-5-6 bedrooms and costs 2 to 5 million SGD (1.5 to 4 million USD), depending of location, while bungalows can be over 10 millions. Vote the most beautiful HOUSE!
