Hougang Avenue 1: housing eras, resale layouts and Kovan connections

Hougang Avenue 1 has 4,536 recorded HDB homes across 43 residential blocks, checked on 20 October 2026, Singapore time. Thirty residential blocks carry 1980–1984 completion labels, nine carry 1996 labels and four carry 2013 labels. Recorded residential heights range from four to 15 storeys. Four additional street buildings record no homes and are excluded from the residential total. The housing spans different building eras, while a completion label and the lease commencement of an individual flat remain separate facts.

The inventory records 4,118 sold-stock homes: 56 two-room, 1,735 three-room, 1,561 four-room, 621 five-room, nine executive flats and 136 studio apartments. It also records 418 rental-stock homes, comprising 198 one-room, 219 two-room and one three-room flat. Blocks 174A and 174B contain the two-room, three-room and studio-apartment mix with 2013 completion labels; Blocks 174C and 174D contain the one- and two-room rental stock. These categories describe the street’s existing housing, rather than homes currently advertised, and the rental-stock figures should remain separate from resale comparisons.

The complete October 2025–September 2026 window contains 80 registered Hougang Avenue 1 resales. The 35 three-room transactions had a S$465,000 median and ranged from S$380,000 to S$530,000. The 31 four-room transactions had a S$618,888 median and a S$467,000–S$778,000 range. Fourteen five-room transactions had a S$867,500 median and ranged from S$680,000 to S$1,060,000. These figures describe the matching room-type samples during that year; they are not asking prices or a valuation of every home within the wider stock mix.

Three-room sales covered 66–82 square metres and New Generation or Model A labels; four-room sales covered 91–110 square metres and Model A, New Generation or Model A2 labels. Five-room sales covered 121–142 square metres, including six Model A-Maisonette and one Improved-Maisonette record alongside Improved and Model A flats. Lease commencements across the full sample were 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1997, 1998 and 2014; recorded remaining leases ranged from 54 years to 87 years at registration. A maisonette layout, floor area and lease cohort therefore deserve attention before using a room-type median to assess an advertised home.

Property.co maps Kovan MRT, NE13, at a minimum straight-line distance of 391 metres from a Hougang Avenue 1 residential block, and Bartley MRT, CC12, at 1,184 metres. LTA’s rail map identifies Kovan on the North East Line and Bartley on the Circle Line. These minima can begin at different blocks on this varied street. They are geographic measurements rather than walking distances, entrance-to-home journeys or promises of a sheltered route; compare the actual journey from the particular block to the station entrance you would use.

Xinghua Primary School confirms its address on the subject road at 45 Hougang Avenue 1. Property.co’s nearest-block map reference places it 171 metres in a straight line from a residential building. That does not make every block equally close, so the school gate, crossings and journey from a chosen home still need checking. The address and map figure do not establish official registration distance, admission priority, eligibility or available places; consult the current school information and official registration process for those questions.

NParks describes Hougang Avenue 3 Park Connector as a 4.4-kilometre route running along Hougang Avenue 3 towards Airport Road. It connects the Central Urban Loop with the North Eastern Riverine Loop through Serangoon Park Connector. This gives Hougang Avenue 1 households a specific wider recreation route to investigate. The full connector length is not a flat-to-park distance, and a nearby mapped line does not establish the nearest access point, crossing arrangements or a continuous route from a particular residential block.

Browse matching published homes through Hougang Avenue 1’s street listings box, or explore Hougang homes for sale and rent on Property.co. Keep the street’s early-1980s blocks, 1996 buildings and later smaller-home stock distinct when comparing advertisements. For a five-room listing, check whether its layout is a maisonette before applying a sample that includes seven maisonette transactions; for any home, compare its actual size, lease, floor and condition with the closest relevant records rather than relying on the street name alone.
