Lim Liak Street’s HDB property-inventory entry covers nine residential blocks and 157 homes, checked on 19 October 2026. All nine records carry a completion-year label of 1949 and a height of four storeys. These are the building attributes supplied by the dataset, rather than a complete history of the wider estate or a statement of a particular home’s tenure, lease and present sale conditions.

The recorded residential blocks are 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 33, 35 and 37. HDB classifies 154 homes under three-room sold labels and three under four-room sold labels. This compact stock is dominated by the three-room category, but an advertised home’s actual floor area, layout, title and approved use still need to be checked against its own records and documents.

For the complete October 2025–September 2026 registration window, the HDB resale dataset contains six Lim Liak Street sales, all three-room flats. Their median registered price was S$770,000, with a S$718,000–S$832,000 range. Six observations provide a limited historical comparison set rather than a dependable street-wide valuation or an estimate of a current asking price.

All six registrations were Standard flats measuring either 75 or 88 square metres, with lease commencement recorded as 1973 or 1974. Those lease years are separate from the property inventory’s 1949 building label. Compare the individual area, lease, floor and condition rather than treating similarly named flats as interchangeable. No four-room registration appears in this window, so it supplies no four-room street median.

Tiong Bahru MRT on the East–West Line and Havelock MRT on the Thomson–East Coast Line are the guide’s rail reference points. Property.co calculates straight-line minima of about 338 metres and 352 metres respectively from the nearest residential block to each station. These minima may start from different blocks and are not walking distances; investigate the chosen entrance, crossings and route from the actual address.

Zhangde Primary School confirms its current campus address as 51 Jalan Membina. Families can use that verified location to investigate school-day travel from the particular home and consult the school’s current information. A school appearing in the surrounding-area guide does not establish admission eligibility, an available place or a flat’s official registration-distance category.

For a wider neighbourhood outing, NParks places Tiong Bahru Park along Tiong Bahru Road and Lower Delta Road. The 3.3-hectare park includes a tilting-train playground. Consult the park’s current map and notices when planning a visit; its published location does not show that every Lim Liak Street home has the same route, entrance choice or access arrangements.

Explore homes on Lim Liak Street in the listings section, or browse Property.co’s Bukit Merah homes for sale and rent. Compare each listing’s asking price, floor area, layout and address-specific lease details with the dated registrations and the limits of the housing inventory described in this guide.
