Hougang Avenue 5

Hougang Avenue 5: mixed housing stock and the limits of small resale samples

Hougang Avenue 5 has 3,373 recorded HDB homes across 33 residential blocks, checked on 20 October 2026, Singapore time. Twenty-seven blocks carry 1981–1983 completion labels, while Blocks 358–363 carry 1991 labels. Recorded residential heights range from four to sixteen storeys. The older group includes several low-rise blocks alongside taller buildings, so the street name covers different physical forms. Building completion and a flat’s lease commencement are separate source fields.

HDB’s sold-stock categories contain 1,224 three-room, 1,274 four-room, 705 five-room and 65 executive homes, totalling 3,268. Another 105 homes appear in rental-stock columns: 24 one-room, 48 two-room and 33 three-room units. The rental stock is concentrated in Blocks 313 and 315; those blocks also contain sold-stock homes, so the categories should be checked at unit level. These are inventory classifications, rather than current advertisements, and rental-stock counts should not be folded into the resale supply.

The complete October 2025–September 2026 window contains 51 registered resales. Twenty-three three-room sales had a S$445,000 median and a S$410,000–S$495,000 range; eighteen four-room sales had a S$569,000 median and ranged from S$535,000 to S$658,000. Nine five-room sales had a S$688,888 median and a S$660,000–S$800,000 range. The remaining transaction was a single executive Apartment at Block 358, registered for S$898,888 in March 2026. That one sale is a dated observation rather than a reliable price band for the avenue’s executive stock.

Three-room transactions covered 59–82 square metres and New Generation, Improved or Model A labels; four-room transactions covered 91–110 square metres and New Generation or Model A labels. Five-room sales spanned 121–137 square metres, with five Improved, three Model A and one Improved-Maisonette record. The single executive Apartment measured 146 square metres and had a 1992 lease start. Across all types, lease commencements were 1982, 1983, 1984, 1992 or 1993, and recorded remaining leases ranged from 55 years 6 months to 66 years 5 months at registration. Match those characteristics before interpreting a sample median.

Property.co places Hougang MRT, NE14, at a minimum straight-line distance of 394 metres from a Hougang Avenue 5 residential block, and Kovan MRT, NE13, at 1,138 metres. LTA’s rail map identifies both on the North East Line. The two minima can begin at different buildings and do not describe the journey from every home. Check the actual entrance, crossings and route from the chosen block; these are map separations, rather than measured walking distances, travel times or evidence of a sheltered connection.

Holy Innocents’ Primary School confirms its campus at 5 Lorong Low Koon. Property.co records a minimum straight-line separation of 71 metres from a Hougang Avenue 5 residential block to the school. That small map minimum does not apply equally to the avenue’s 33 blocks or establish which gate a household would use. Confirm the practical route from the precise home, and check official registration distance and rules separately. The address and directory measurement do not establish admission eligibility, priority or available places.

Serangoon Park Connector gives the avenue a specific recreation reference. NParks describes its 4.2-kilometre route as starting at Tampines Road, following Hougang Avenue 7 and Buangkok Drive, and ending at the Sengkang East Road–Buangkok Green junction. Property.co places the mapped connector at a minimum straight-line separation of 77 metres from a Hougang Avenue 5 residential block. This is not an entrance or walking route, and the connector’s full length is not distance from a flat; investigate the intended access point and crossings.

Use Hougang Avenue 5’s street listings box for matching published Property.co homes, or browse Hougang homes for sale and rent. Keep the rental-stock categories separate from market rental advertisements and compare an advertised resale home with a similar model, size and lease cohort. Larger homes particularly benefit from checking the actual layout: the selected five-room sample includes an Improved-Maisonette, while its one executive observation is an Apartment.
