Taman Ho Swee: four older HDB blocks, rail access and resale evidence

Taman Ho Swee’s HDB inventory covers four residential blocks, numbered 12, 14, 16 and 18. Together they contain 317 homes, with all four buildings recorded as nine storeys high and completed in 1963. These records were checked on 19 October 2026. The shared building period provides context, while an individual flat’s lease, layout, condition and sale documents need their own examination.

The stock categories comprise 36 two-room, 272 three-room and seven four-room sold homes, alongside two three-room rental homes. The sold categories total 315 homes and the rental component adds two. These are housing inventory figures rather than the number of properties on offer, and the rental units should remain separate when selecting resale comparisons.

HDB’s complete October 2025–September 2026 registration window contains 11 Taman Ho Swee resales. Nine three-room sales had a median of S$348,000 and ranged from S$320,000 to S$405,000. The two two-room registrations were S$243,000 and S$280,000, giving a midpoint median of S$261,500. The two-room result is based on just two observations and is a thin comparison sample.

All 11 registrations were Standard flats with lease commencement recorded as 1970. The two-room records measured 43 or 49 square metres, while the three-room records measured 54 or 66 square metres. These transaction lease years differ from the inventory’s 1963 completion label. No four-room registration appears in the window, so it does not supply a four-room street median.

Havelock MRT, TE16 on the Thomson–East Coast Line, and Tiong Bahru, EW17 on the East–West Line, are the guide’s rail references. Property.co calculates straight-line minima of about 118 metres and 456 metres respectively from the nearest residential block to each station. These may start at different blocks and are not walking distances; investigate the entrance, crossings and actual route from the chosen home.

Zhangde Primary School’s current official contact page confirms its address as 51 Jalan Membina. This provides a specific campus location for investigating daily journeys rather than relying on a broad neighbourhood label. A nearby-school entry does not determine an individual flat’s official registration distance or admission eligibility; check the relevant current rules and exact address separately.

Tiong Bahru Park offers a separate neighbourhood recreation destination along Tiong Bahru Road and Lower Delta Road. NParks records the park as 3.3 hectares and highlights its tilting-train playground. Use the current park map and notices to plan the relevant entrance and journey, with access assessed from the actual block rather than assumed from a nearby marker.
