Tiong Bahru Road: HDB homes, registered resale prices and neighbourhood connections

The HDB property dataset’s Tiong Bahru Road entry covers eight residential blocks and 157 homes, as checked on 19 October 2026. Seven blocks have a recorded completion year of 1949 and Block 55 has 1937. These are the dates carried by the property inventory, not a claim that HDB constructed buildings before the board existed or a substitute for an individual building’s history.
The recorded stock consists of 121 three-room, 34 four-room and two five-room sold flats. Most residential blocks are recorded at four storeys, while Block 55 is recorded at three. The guide describes these specific HDB inventory entries; it does not count every condominium, shophouse or other property along the wider road as part of that stock.
Only four resale transactions were registered on Tiong Bahru Road in the complete October 2025–September 2026 window. Three three-room sales ranged from S$700,000 to S$800,000, with a median of S$750,000. Their small number makes the midpoint sensitive to the particular homes sold, so it should not be treated as a street-wide valuation.
The remaining registration was a single four-room Standard flat in Block 17: 110 square metres, in the 04–06 storey band, registered in November 2025 at S$1,010,000. It is one observed sale rather than a representative four-room benchmark. The three-room records were Standard flats of 75 or 88 square metres. All four sales carry a 1973 lease commencement year, separate from the much earlier completion labels in the property inventory.
Property.co’s current guide lists Havelock on the Thomson–East Coast Line and Tiong Bahru on the East–West Line. Its minimum straight-line distances from residential blocks are 326 and 331 metres respectively. Those minima can refer to different blocks and do not establish walking distances or entrance access, so compare the actual route and onward connection from the address being viewed.
Zhangde Primary School’s current official contact page lists 51 Jalan Membina as its campus address. That confirmed location can help organise a school-day travel check from a chosen Tiong Bahru Road block. The real route, entrances and current registration rules must be assessed separately; a nearby-school listing does not establish admission eligibility or an available place.
NParks locates Tiong Bahru Park along Tiong Bahru Road and Lower Delta Road and records its size as 3.3 hectares. The tilting-train playground is a distinctive family recreation feature. The park belongs to the wider neighbourhood setting; consult its current map and notices and assess the journey from the exact block rather than assuming that the shared road name places every home beside it.
