Tampines Street 85: what the block and resale records actually show

Tampines Street 85 is a compact HDB street to compare by block, rather than a single uniform housing project. The site's 12 October 2026 street-guide build lists homes in Blocks 874B, 874C and 874D. Together they have 319 dwellings: 153 four-room and 166 five-room units. The same HDB inventory records zero dwellings in Blocks 873A and 873B, so those two are not counted as residential blocks. The residential blocks' recorded completion years are 2020 and 2021.

For a buyer, the most useful recent comparison is by flat type and actual unit. The street guide summarizes HDB resale registrations in the inclusive October 2025–September 2026 window: 47 reported sales, comprising 30 four-room sales with a median of S$747,500 and 17 five-room sales with a median of S$920,000. The recorded four-room prices span S$705,000–S$805,000; five-room prices span S$850,000–S$970,000. These are past registered transactions, not asking prices, valuations, or a forecast. Floor, condition, layout and remaining lease can make a particular flat differ substantially from the median. Compare a shortlist against the block, floor area, floor band and registration month before treating the street-wide figure as a benchmark.

The guide calculates approximate straight-line distances of 555 m to Poi Ching School and 847 m to St. Hilda's Primary School from the nearest residential block point. Those school points are not admission boundaries; Primary 1 registration uses the official home-to-school distance for the specific address. The guide's approximate 366 m figure for Tampines Park Connector is to a sampled route vertex, not a verified entrance or the nearest point on the continuous route. Walking routes may be longer. Check the exact block's route and current access conditions before relying on these figures.

The practical question is whether a particular four-room or five-room home fits your budget and daily route. Start with the three residential blocks, inspect the individual listing and HDB records, then use the dated resale transactions and nearby-place data as context. This avoids treating non-residential blocks, a street median, or a straight-line radius as a promise about one flat.
