Kim Cheng Street: recorded HDB homes and a carefully qualified resale example

Kim Cheng Street’s recorded HDB housing stock is small and consistent in its inventory labels. The official property data checked on 19 October 2026 lists four residential blocks with 96 homes. All four blocks are recorded as four storeys high and completed in 1949. These building records are a useful starting point, while the actual title, remaining lease and condition of a particular home need their own checks.
The four blocks are 34, 41, 42 and 45, each with 24 homes. All 96 are classified in the sold three-room category. This describes the stock included in the street guide, rather than every property in the surrounding neighbourhood or the floor area of each unit. Investigate the actual layout, level, entrance and lease documents before relying on the shared room label as a comparison.
Only one Kim Cheng Street sale appears in HDB’s complete October 2025–September 2026 registration window. It was a three-room flat at Block 45, registered in September 2026 at S$770,000. A single observation cannot establish a usual street price, a meaningful price range or a trend. Treat it as one dated example to investigate, rather than a broad market benchmark.
The registered example was an 88-square-metre Standard flat on storeys 01–03, with lease commencement recorded as 1973. That lease date is distinct from the inventory’s 1949 building-completion label. The record supplies area, model, floor band and lease information, but does not establish renovation condition, outlook or the reason a buyer paid that amount. Compare the actual property details before using it as a comparable sale.
Property.co’s current station guide identifies Havelock (TE16) and Tiong Bahru (EW17) among the surrounding rail options, on the Thomson–East Coast and East–West lines respectively. Check the specific block-to-entrance route and onward destination when planning a commute. The street-level list does not by itself supply walking times or guarantee a suitable route from a flat.
Zhangde Primary School confirms its current campus at 51 Jalan Membina on its official contact page. That address gives families a concrete location to investigate alongside other daily journeys. A nearby-school entry does not establish a particular home’s official distance category, admission eligibility or an available place; consult the current school and MOE information for an address-specific decision.
For nearby-area recreation, NParks places Kim Pong Park along Kim Pong Road and Kim Tian Road. Its design takes inspiration from the old Tiong Bahru estate and includes an open field, swings, a nature playgarden and a pavilion. Check the current park map and intended route for a visit, rather than treating those park features as evidence about access to an individual home.
