Macpherson Lane: HDB housing stock, registered resale evidence and local connections

Macpherson Lane’s indexed HDB inventory contains two residential records, Blocks 81 and 83, totalling 223 recorded homes. Official property information checked on 20 October 2026, Singapore time, labels both buildings as completed in 1968 with twelve storeys. These are dataset entries: the historical building labels do not establish current occupation or describe every address in the wider neighbourhood.

All 223 homes in these records are classified as rental stock: 130 two-room, 89 three-room and four in the source’s other-room rental category. No sold-flat category is recorded in these two entries. Keep the source classifications intact rather than interpreting the combined total as ordinary resale stock or relabelling the other-room units as a different housing type.

No Macpherson Lane HDB resale registration appears in the complete October 2025–September 2026 window. The dataset therefore supplies no observed street median, transaction price range or price-per-square-metre benchmark for that period. An empty registration sample is not a valuation and does not establish a particular home’s transaction eligibility, current occupancy or the reason no sale was registered.

The two blocks have different recorded rental mixes. Block 81 contains 117 two-room, eleven three-room and two other-room rental homes, totalling 130. Block 83 contains thirteen two-room, 78 three-room and two other-room rental homes, totalling 93. These distinctions are more useful than treating all 223 entries as one uniform category; verify the actual address and relevant tenancy or property documents when investigating a home.

Property.co identifies Tai Seng MRT, CC11, and Mattar MRT, DT25, on the existing Circle and Downtown lines at minimum straight-line distances of 404 and 578 metres respectively from the indexed residential records. The minima may start at different buildings. They do not establish walking distances, station entrances or sheltered routes; examine the practical journey from the actual destination.

Canossa Catholic Primary School’s official contact page confirms its campus at 1 Sallim Road and names Mattar as a nearby station reference. That verified destination can help with travel research from the Macpherson area. The address does not settle official school-registration distance, admission eligibility, priority or an available place; entrances and crossings need their own checks.

NParks describes the 2.52-kilometre Pelton Canal Park Connector as linking Kallang and Balam park connectors through the wider area. Its access notes identify overhead bridges and an underpass, so do not assume one uninterrupted level route. Select the intended section using current maps and instructions; the full corridor length is not a distance from a Macpherson Lane address.

Explore homes on Macpherson Lane in the street listings box, which updates with matching published Property.co listings, or browse Geylang homes for sale and rent. Check each advertised address, housing category and documents directly, while keeping this guide’s historical rental inventory and absence of a registered-sale sample separate from current listing details.
