1. Overview of Queenstown HDB Market

Queenstown, in Singapore's Rest of Central Region (RCR), remains one of the most sought-after HDB towns due to its strategic location and mature amenities. In early 2025, resale prices hit record highs — especially for smaller flats — driven by limited supply and strong central demand en.wikipedia.org+8uchify.com+8reddit.com+8.

5. Affordable Options & Lease Watch

Not all flats are in the million-dollar range:

A S$400k 3-room at Queen’s Close (1973 build, ~47-year lease remaining) still offers a more affordable entry point stackedhomes.com+1stackproperty.sg+1.
Older Improved models from the 1970s (e.g., Stirling Rd, Holland Dr) trade between S$360k–415k en.wikipedia.org+11propertyforsale.com.sg+11hdb.gov.sg+11.

However, these come with shorter remaining leases (≈45–50 years), which is a key consideration for buyers focused on lease biotech and resale value.

6. Why Are Prices So High?

Several key factors drive Queenstown’s premium resale market:

Central Location — direct MRT access (EW & CC lines) and easy commute to CBD hdb.gov.sg+2stackedhomes.com+2uchify.com+2uchify.com+1services2.hdb.gov.sg+1stackedhomes.com+2en.wikipedia.org+2uchify.com+2.
Mature Estate — abundance of amenities: IKEA Alexandra, Anchorpoint, Margaret Dr hawker centre, library, sports complexes en.wikipedia.org+3ohmyhome.com+3stackedhomes.com+3.
Limited Supply — no large-scale new HDB infills other than redevelopment, leading to tight resale inventory stackedhomes.com+8en.wikipedia.org+8propertyguru.com.sg+8.
Gentrification — new BTO “Plus/Prime” in Queenstown attracts affluent buyers who prefer resale to avoid long wait or MOP en.wikipedia.org+3ohmyhome.com+3uchify.com+3.

7. Upcoming Redevelopment

The Tanglin Halt estate (one of Queenstown’s oldest pockets) is undergoing phased SERS redevelopment, planning ~5,500 new HDB units and an integrated precinct with hawker centre, polyclinic and park over the next 10–15 years stackproperty.sg+2en.wikipedia.org+2en.wikipedia.org+2. This will add fresh supply and potentially stabilise prices eventually.

8. What It Means for Buyers & Sellers

Sellers

If you’ve a newer, premium loft/Executive/5-room flat, current pricing in the S$1.2M–1.65M range makes it a seller’s market.

Buyers

Consider your priorities:

Budget-conscious? Opt for older 3-room flats at ~S$360k–528k, while mindful of lease decay.
Seeking premium/later residence? Expect to pay >S$1M.
Keep lease tenure in mind—70+ years remaining is ideal; <60 yrs may be trickier for buyers requiring long loan tenure.
