Primary schools are one of the most important foundations of a child’s education. With registrations for children starting their primary school education next year just closed and results pending for the latter phases, we thought it would be best to get a head start in planning for future primary school registrations.

With this, we have identified a list of 100 properties within 1km of 14 primary schools regarded by many parents as reputable and have historically seen high applicants to seats ratio. Note that this list is not meant to be exclusive.

14 most popular primary schools in Singapore, by applicants to seats ratio

These are the 100 properties we have identified that are within 1km of these 14 good schools. Of course there are many more properties within the vicinity.

Some schools such as Pei Hwa, Methodist Girls and Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) have many properties surrounding the school, many of which which are smaller developments which may not have many units on sale. Hence, as far as possible we have identified properties with at least 100 units in the development.

Pandan Valley is a freehold condominium that was completed in 1979. It has a total of 623 units on a large land size of 865,000 square feet and is regarded as one of the most unique developments in Singapore due to its design and features. As an older development, each unit type is also sizeable with the 3 bedroom ranging from more than 1300 square feet to 1800 square feet.

Although it is not particularly near any train station, it is near the Holland Village enclave which provides for adequate amenities. Being on Holland Road also provides for an easy and direct drive to Orchard Road.

Closing statement

Clearly there are many good primary schools and many more developments surrounding each primary school. Some are newer developments which costs more while the older ones tend to be more affordable.

It is challenging to identify an ideal property as besides the location, there are many other considerations such as the value of the Condo and the liveability and convenience of the location.
