Hougang Street 61: two HDB completion groups and a single five-room sale

Hougang Street 61’s recorded HDB housing covers Blocks 685–698 together with Blocks 698A and 698B. Official property information checked on 20 October 2026 records sixteen residential blocks and 1,456 homes, with heights from four to eighteen storeys. Fourteen blocks carry 1986–1987 completion years, while Blocks 698A and 698B were completed in 1998. That later pair makes the exact block important when comparing the street’s housing.

The sold-stock categories contain 440 three-room, 798 four-room and 217 five-room homes. One additional three-room home at Block 696 is recorded in an HDB rental-stock category, bringing the total inventory to 1,456. That rental classification describes existing housing stock, rather than a current private rental advertisement. Four-room flats form the largest category, but stock counts should remain separate from listings and dated resale transactions.

HDB recorded 24 registered resales in the complete October 2025–September 2026 window. Eleven three-room transactions had a S$440,000 median and ranged from S$400,000 to S$470,800. Twelve four-room registrations had a S$552,500 median, with prices from S$490,000 to S$640,000. These are registered prices for the stated period, rather than current asking prices or valuations of every home on the street.

The three-room sample comprised six Model A and five Simplified flats at 64–74 square metres. Four-room sales comprised three Model A and nine Simplified flats measuring 84–103 square metres. The only five-room transaction was a 121-square-metre Improved flat at Block 690, registered in February 2026 at S$765,000 in the 10–12 storey band. Keep that single price attached to its dated property record rather than treating it as a broad five-room benchmark.

Three-room lease commencement years in the transaction rows were 1986–1987, while four-room records spanned 1986–1999. Four-room remaining leases ranged from 59 years 6 months to 71 years 8 months at registration. The five-room sale recorded 1987 lease commencement and 60 years 9 months remaining. These dated fields help distinguish comparison groups; a building’s completion year is separate from a flat’s lease commencement, and the selected flat’s current lease requires its own check.

Property.co identifies Hougang MRT, NE14, at a minimum straight-line distance of 650 metres from the residential inventory, and Buangkok MRT, NE15, at 925 metres. LTA’s current North East Line map confirms both station codes. The two minima may originate at different blocks and are not walking distances, station entrance routes or journey times. Check the chosen address’s actual access and road crossings before comparing daily transport options.

Montfort Junior School confirms its campus at 52 Hougang Avenue 8. Families can investigate that specific destination from a selected block, without inferring official registration distance, admission priority or a school place. For recreation, NParks describes the 1.5-kilometre Buangkok Park Connector as following Buangkok Green between its Yio Chu Kang Road junction and Sengkang East Road. The connector’s length is not a journey distance from Street 61; locate the relevant access point separately.
