Siglap Property Guide: East Coast Living from S$1,948 psf
Updated 2026-09-07
Siglap sits in District 15 on Singapore's east coast, with 408 live listings averaging S$7.46 million across a mix of landed homes and condominiums. The opening of Siglap MRT in 2024 and its recognition as an identity node under the URA Draft Master Plan 2025 have sharpened buyer interest in this low-rise residential neighbourhood.
What is it like living in Siglap?
Siglap is a quiet, predominantly landed neighbourhood set back from East Coast Park, known for its independent cafes, low-rise streetscape and village feel. Daily life centres on Frankel Avenue and Upper East Coast Road, where residents walk to specialty coffee shops such as Dutch Colony and Craftsmen, brunch spots like 6 Letter and Baker and Cook, and long-standing restaurants including The Coconut Club and Blu Kouzina.
The area lacks a large mall, which is part of the appeal. Siglap Centre on Siglap Road handles everyday needs, and Parkway Parade in Marine Parade is two MRT stops away. East Coast Park is accessible on foot, giving residents direct access to cycling paths, the lagoon food village and Singapore Wake Park. Masjid Kampung Siglap, one of the older mosques in the east, sits near the MRT station.
How has the new MRT changed Siglap?
Siglap MRT station (TE28) opened on 23 June 2024 as part of Thomson-East Coast Line Stage 4, giving the neighbourhood its first rail connection. The underground station on Marine Parade Road has four exits, with taxi stands at Exits 2 and 4 and over 14 bus routes serving nearby stops. Residents can reach Orchard in roughly 25 minutes and Marina Bay in under 20.
Before the TEL, Siglap relied entirely on buses, which kept property prices below comparable parts of Katong and Marine Parade. That gap has narrowed. The TEL will extend further under Stage 5, but TE28 already links Siglap to the full north-south spine of the Thomson line, from Woodlands through the city centre.
What is at 24 Siglap Road?
24 Siglap Road is a brand-new freehold detached house listed at S$16.5 million. The three-storey property includes an attic, private pool, home lift and parking for three cars across 8,315 square feet, with completion expected in 2028. It is part of a series of new luxury builds branded Avant-Garde, with 26A and 26C Siglap Road listed at S$15.4 million each.
These new builds reflect a broader pattern on Siglap Road, where older detached homes on large freehold plots are being rebuilt or sold to developers at prices well above the area average. Siglap Road has recorded 175 transactions with a median of S$752 psf for landed property. The road runs through the heart of the estate and remains the most actively traded landed street in the neighbourhood.
Nearby, 26 Siglap Drive is a residential address within Frankel Estate, an established freehold landed enclave where semi-detached and detached homes have averaged S$8.77 million over the past six months. 12 Siglap Link is the address of Seaside Residences, a 843-unit condominium by Frasers Property completed in 2021, which trades at roughly S$2,370 psf and sits about 350 metres from Siglap MRT.
Schools near Siglap
Opera Estate Primary School on Fidelio Street is the most locally embedded primary school, sitting within the Siglap housing estate. Families within the one-kilometre priority zone have the strongest ballot position under MOE Phase 2C. Tao Nan School on Marine Crescent and CHIJ (Katong) Primary are both within close range and among the more competitive primaries in the east.
For secondary education, Victoria School occupies a campus on Siglap Link directly adjacent to the MRT station. It is a government autonomous boys school affiliated with Victoria Junior College. Tanjong Katong Secondary and Tanjong Katong Girls School are also nearby in the broader Katong-Marine Parade belt.
Housing stock and prices
Siglap's 408 live listings split into 228 landed properties and 180 condominiums, averaging S$1,948 psf across an average size of 4,142 square feet. The landed stock is overwhelmingly freehold, spread across Siglap Road, Taman Siglap, Jalan Ulu Siglap and the Opera Estate streets. Condominiums range from older freehold walk-ups like Siglap V at S$1,438 psf to Seaside Residences at S$2,370 psf.
District 15 recorded a median condo price of S$2,287 psf in the second quarter of 2026, up 11.8 per cent year on year. Siglap sits at the more affordable end of D15 compared to the Amber Road and Tanjong Rhu corridor, partly because its housing stock skews older and landed. The average asking price of S$7.46 million reflects the weight of detached and semi-detached homes in the mix rather than condo units alone.
Outlook for Siglap
URA's Draft Master Plan 2025 designated Siglap as one of three new identity nodes within the Historic East corridor, recognising its laid-back atmosphere and street-level character. Guidelines for the node include activating five-foot ways and back alleys with art and community use, developed through consultation with over 2,300 residents.
The longer-term catalyst is Long Island, an 800-hectare coastal reclamation project off East Coast Park that will triple the waterfront length, create a new freshwater reservoir and add 20 kilometres of parkland. Preparatory works began in 2025, with full reclamation now under way. No housing timeline has been confirmed, but the project will extend Siglap's proximity to the coast rather than push it further away, a distinction that matters for landed homeowners on streets like Siglap Road and Siglap Drive.
