  • Naval Base Primary School
  • Northbrooks Secondary School

Lower Seletar Reservoir Park is close by as well, offering residents the chance to engage in leisure activities or admire scenes of lush greenery.

Transaction reflects demand for resale flats

99.co went on to describe Yishun as a popular residential area, partly due to its wide variety of amenities, community facilities, well-connected transport links, and overall convenience.

 

Yishun has also seen careful urban planning and development projects which increase its appeal.

According to 99.co, the selling price of the flat reflects the growing appeal of Singapore’s HDB resale market.

Moreover, with Yishun changing and bringing together the traditional and modern, residents are becoming increasingly drawn to the area.

The last time a unit in Yishun crossed the million-dollar mark was in 2022 when a jumbo flat at Block 652 Yishun Ave 4 changed hands for S$1.038 million.
