Sims Drive

Sims Drive: three housing cohorts and a resale market spanning different leases

Sims Drive’s HDB inventory records 1,168 homes in ten residential blocks, checked on 20 October 2026, Singapore time. Blocks 41 and 44 have 1974 completion labels; Blocks 45, 50 and 51 have 1976 labels; and Blocks 40, 42, 42A, 43 and 43A have 1989 labels. Recorded heights range from four storeys at Blocks 42A and 43A to twenty-five at Blocks 50 and 51, so the street name covers markedly different buildings.

The stock comprises 418 three-room, 467 four-room and 283 five-room flats, all recorded in sold categories. The inventory records no rental-category homes for these ten blocks. Blocks 41 and 44 together account for 478 homes, illustrating why the older blocks are a substantial part of the address group. Inventory totals describe existing stock rather than current sale or rental advertisements.

Twenty-one sales were registered in the complete October 2025–September 2026 window. Seven three-room registrations had a median of S$380,000 and a S$346,000–S$386,000 range; nine four-room registrations had a median of S$655,000 and ranged from S$451,888 to S$680,000. Five five-room registrations had a median of S$778,888 and ranged from S$760,888 to S$833,000. These are dated transaction samples, not current asking prices or valuations.

The three-room sample comprised Improved flats of 65–66 sq m with 1977 or 1981 lease starts. Four-room registrations combined three Improved flats and six Model A flats, spanning 88–109 sq m and lease starts in 1975, 1989 and 1990. The five-room sample combined three Standard and two Improved flats of 117–124 sq m with 1977 or 1990 lease starts. These differences make flat type alone an incomplete comparison; completion labels and lease commencement are separate source fields.

Property.co records Aljunied MRT, EW9, at a minimum straight-line separation of 446 m from Sims Drive’s residential blocks and Geylang Bahru, DT24, at 660 m. LTA places those stations on the East West and Downtown lines respectively. The two minima can start at different blocks and do not describe walking distance, sheltered routes or travel time. Check the entrance and road crossings from the particular block under consideration.

Geylang Methodist School (Primary) publishes its address as 4 Geylang East Central. Property.co’s minimum straight-line measurement from Sims Drive’s residential blocks is 569 m, providing a map reference for checking the school-day journey. It does not establish an individual home’s official registration distance, admission eligibility, priority or available places.

Pelton Canal Park Connector provides recreation context for the wider Sims Drive area. NParks describes a shared track linking Kallang and Balam park connectors through areas including Geylang Bahru, Kallang Way and Upper Boon Keng. Property.co records a minimum straight-line separation of 288 m from the street’s residential blocks to the mapped connector. That measurement is not an entrance or walking route; check the intended access point, crossings and current notices.
