Havelock MRT Property Guide: Prices, Housing Stock and What to Expect
Updated 2026-10-11
Havelock sits at the edge of the CBD on the Thomson-East Coast Line, with 144 homes currently listed for sale at an average of S$2,140 per square foot. A wave of new condominiums and the Union Square mixed-use development are reshaping this stretch of the Singapore River corridor.
What is available if you are looking for a Havelock house for sale?
There are currently 144 properties listed for sale near Havelock MRT, with an average asking price of S$2,289,386 and an average unit size of 1,068 square feet. The stock is overwhelmingly private: 107 of the 144 listings are condominiums, 34 are HDB resale flats, and three are landed homes.
Condominiums dominate because Havelock straddles Districts 1 and 3, where private development has been the norm for decades. HDB options are concentrated along Havelock Road itself, in older blocks under the Bukit Merah estate. Recent HDB resale transactions on Havelock Road have ranged from around S$360,000 for a two-room flat to above S$1,100,000 for a three-room unit, reflecting the central location premium that these flats command.
For buyers seeking new-build condominiums, the Havelock and River Valley corridor has seen a surge of launches. Zyon Grand, a 706-unit integrated development by CDL and Mitsui Fudosan with twin 62-storey towers, launched in October 2025 at an average of S$3,050 per square foot. River Green, a 524-unit project in nearby River Valley, launched at S$3,130 per square foot. Both sold more than 80 per cent of units on their opening weekends, which gives a sense of buyer appetite for this precinct.
Getting around: Havelock MRT and transport links
Havelock station (TE16) opened on 13 November 2022 as part of the Thomson-East Coast Line. It sits at 110 Zion Road and provides direct rail access north to Woodlands and south toward the eastern coast, with the full line expected to be completed by 2027 when the remaining stations open.
The station fills a gap that kept this part of the Singapore River corridor dependent on buses and cars for years. Great World station (TE15) is one stop away, linking residents to the Great World shopping complex. Outram Park, two stops south, is a major interchange connecting the East-West, North-East, and Thomson-East Coast lines. For drivers, Havelock Road feeds directly onto the Central Expressway and is minutes from the Ayer Rajah Expressway.
Living in Havelock: food, shopping and daily essentials
Havelock sits in one of Singapore's most established residential corridors, and the daily amenities reflect that. Havelock Road Cooked Food Centre is a short walk from the MRT station, with well-known stalls including Guang Fa Laksa. There are at least five hawker centres and food courts within a kilometre, a density that is hard to match outside the central region.
Great World, one MRT stop or a 10-minute walk away, is the main retail anchor. It houses a Cold Storage supermarket, dining options, and everyday shops. Tiong Bahru Plaza, accessible via a short bus ride or walk, adds a FairPrice and further retail. For groceries closer to home, smaller provision shops and a FairPrice outlet serve the HDB blocks along Havelock Road.
Healthcare is straightforward, with Havelock Family Clinic and several GP practices in the area. Singapore General Hospital is a short drive or two MRT stops away at Outram Park.
Schools near Havelock MRT
Families with primary-school-age children have several options within the one-kilometre and two-kilometre enrolment priority bands. River Valley Primary School, Zhangde Primary School, and Alexandra Primary School are all nearby. Outram Secondary School serves the area for secondary education.
The Havelock corridor is not typically thought of as a school-belt neighbourhood, but its central position means that a wider range of schools across Districts 1 to 4 are reachable within a reasonable commute. Zyon Grand will also include an early childhood development centre within its integrated development, adding a childcare option from 2030.
What is changing: new developments and the outlook for Havelock
The biggest transformation is Union Square, developed by CDL under URA's Strategic Development Incentive scheme. This is the first redevelopment approved under the SDI scheme in the Singapore River planning area. It combines the former Central Mall and Central Square sites into a 735,500-square-foot mixed-use development with a Grade A office tower, retail and dining space, co-living apartments, and 366 luxury residential units. The project achieved a 67 per cent uplift in gross floor area over what existed before.
Across the wider precinct, close to 2,800 new private homes are being introduced across five development sites, including Zyon Grand, River Green, Promenade Peak, and The Robertson Opus. This volume of new supply will reshape the character of the Havelock and River Valley corridor over the next few years, shifting it from a mature, steady neighbourhood to one with a noticeably younger housing stock.
At an average of S$2,140 per square foot across current listings, Havelock sits below the new-launch pricing of S$3,000 and above that the nearby projects have achieved. That gap reflects the mix of older condominiums and HDB resale flats in the existing stock. For buyers, it means the resale market still offers a meaningful discount to new builds, while sellers in older developments may see uplift as the precinct's profile rises with the new completions and improved connectivity on the Thomson-East Coast Line.
