Cantonment Close: HDB homes, the completed Circle Line and resale prices
Cantonment Close is a compact Bukit Merah HDB street with nine residential blocks recorded in the same completion year. Its setting links the Cantonment neighbourhood with the wider Tanjong Pagar area. The street name alone is not enough to assess a daily routine: compare the exact block entrance with rail access, the school and the destinations you would use regularly.
HDB property information records 1,247 homes across the nine residential blocks, all completed in 2000. The mix comprises 203 three-room, 725 four-room and 319 five-room sold flats. Four-room flats are the largest recorded category. Completion year is a building attribute; use the flat’s recorded lease commencement and remaining lease when making a transaction comparison.
Cantonment MRT is operating following the opening of Circle Line Stage 6 on 12 July 2026, confirmed by LTA. Property.co calculates about 243 metres to Cantonment and 618 metres to Tanjong Pagar, using straight-line distances from the nearest residential block on the street to each station. These are not walking distances; inspect the route to the relevant station entrance from the particular block.
Cantonment Primary School’s current website gives its address as 1 Cantonment Close, placing a school on the street itself. Households can use that address when testing daily journeys and the relationship between a flat and the school entrance. School admission and official distance assessment need to be checked independently rather than inferred from the shared street name.
Duxton Plain Park offers a green-space destination beyond the immediate housing blocks. NParks records it as 1.8 hectares, with entrances via New Bridge Road, Neil Road, Kreta Ayer Road and Yan Kit Road. It is useful to assess the relevant entrance as part of a wider neighbourhood visit, with the route and road crossings checked from the home rather than assumed from a nearby marker.
HDB recorded 23 Cantonment Close resales from October 2025 to September 2026. Four three-room sales had a median of S$727,500, ranging from S$718,000 to S$755,000. Sixteen four-room sales had a median of S$1,052,500, with a range of S$920,000 to S$1,110,000. The three five-room sales had a median of S$1,180,000 and ranged from S$1,175,000 to S$1,180,000.
The three-room and five-room figures are based on four and three registrations respectively. A narrow observed five-room range reflects that small historical sample, rather than a guaranteed selling price or a bound on future transactions. Compare floor area, layout, storey, condition and remaining lease directly, and keep the registered resale evidence separate from a listing’s asking price.
