Serangoon Gardens: Experience the Ultimate Luxurious Urban Retreat at $3M

Discovering Haus@Serangoon Gardens: Your Next Landed Luxe

Picture this: a 99‑year leasehold boasting 97 homes set on a generous 28,402 square‑metre plot. Welcome to Haus@Serangoon Gardens, the newest darling in Singapore’s landed scene. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a fresh, modern terrace house for roughly $3 million, this spot might just be the perfect fit.

What the Markets Say

The latest SRX data reveals that last year, 12 homes went past the $2 million mark—each on a roughly 1,600 sq ft plot.
Even bigger—three units near 2,000 sq ft—saw prices climb to just over $3 million.
Interestingly, 2022 recorded no sales, though two properties were leased out for $6,200–$6,500 per month.

Listing Highlights

On the digital front, a freehold terrace house in the same area costs between $3.85 million and $5.28 million. The lower end, a house at $3.85 million, is still in its original state, meaning you’ll face a good deal of major A+A work.

Why Haus@Serangoon Might Be a Smart Move

If the thought of tackling a massive construction project feels like a gamble amid unpredictable COVID‑times—when building costs shoot up and timelines stretch—Haus@Serangoon offers a less stressful path. With fewer renovations needed and a solid leasehold, it’s a sweet spot for those wanting luxury without the headache.

Final Takeaway

Wrap up: if you’re chasing land‑based luxury in a prime part of Singapore and prefer a turn‑key style over a DIY renovation, Haus@Serangoon Gardens could be your next neighborhood. It’s not just a house—it’s a lifestyle upgrade waiting to unfold. Happy house hunting!

House layout

An Online Glimpse of a “Tranquil” Singapore Terrace

At first glance the development looks like one of those Pinterest‑ready green oases—lush trees, tidy lawns, and a “charming” vibe. But pictures can be tricksy: they’ll never show how noisy the streets get or how many saccades you’ll have to fit your notification pings past the tranquil ambience.

The Layout—Three Stories Plus Something Special

It’s officially a two‑storey landed plot, so two stories plus an attic is the norm.
Each maisonette, however, also throws in a basement—that’s where the bunker sits, and yes, it’s a tad pricier to build.
All that gives you roughly 3,500–3,600 sq ft of interior, a real win in a space‑tight city like Singapore.

No Lift? No Problem—At Least for the Ground‑Floor Decider

With no lift to ride the stairs to the upper levels, the design cleverly leaves room for a bedroom and a spa‑like bathroom on the ground floor. Still, forget about giving your granny or a wheelchair‑friendly room a slice of the living room: the space is pretty tight—just enough for a single bed, a wardrobe, and nope on the accessibility front. If you’re up for a bit of re‑arranging, you could open up a somewhat bigger sofa‑ready retreat.

The Backyard and Safety Nuances

There’s a modest backyard with glass panels that can be opened to bring cool air down to the basement. On paper, they’re translucent enough to let some light permeate. In reality, picture a toddler or a curious pet opening them—there might be danger they could slip through! It’s a trade‑off between ventilation and safety that’s worth serious thought.

The Master Stays Up, and a Floating Junior

The primary bedroom and its bathroom on the first floor keep the promised 4‑meter high ceilings. A quirky window cuts into the bedroom wall, giving that bonus natural light—even in a terrace setup.

The senior “master” room sits on the top level, and the junior master is tucked in that same floor, sharing a small family zone and a roof terrace.

Roof Terrace Entree—No Apartment Hurdles Needed

Ready to throw a rooftop bash? Great! You can hit the roof terrace without flipping through the junior master bedroom. The downside? Only one bathroom exists on that floor—an ensuite for the junior master, no jack‑and‑jill. Your guests would have to either use the junior master’s loo (if you’re not shy about showing family photos) or head straight back down.

Green Mark Platinum—Sustainability with a Kicker

The whole unit received that shiny BCA Green Mark Platinum badge. So you get solar panels and a rainwater harvesting system—nice, right? The caveat: Not every landed terrace can host solar panels; the roofs need a decent surface area for the tech to offset electricity costs. Add to that the rigs of air‑con compressors and pumps, and the solar juice may be more theoretical than practical. I’ve browsed two potential homes, and the solar panels guys gave both out a quick “no‑go.”

Ready? Gorgeous but Green Slick!

So, if you’re chasing a space‑rich, green‑friendly terrace that scoops a little extra in terms of ambiance and environmental credentials—this might intrigue you. Just keep in mind the humour of the uneven space distribution, the safety of those glass panels, and that rooftop “free‑for‑all” water‑supply lack.

Neighbourhood

Picture This: The Main Road’s Parking Party

It’s the kind of street where a line of cars almost looks like a friendly gutter full of parking space, and yet—miraculously—you can still cruise through without a traffic jam. On an ordinary weekday it’s a breeze; the only real question is whether the holiday rush will turn the lane into a parking frenzy.

Haus@Serangoon Gardens – Five Silent Chic Coursers

Short cul‑de‑sacs galore: Five cozy, almost‑dead-end streets arranged in a neat parallel fashion.
All‑house housing: Buildings line up on both sides, wide enough for cars to park on each flank.
Room for Roams: Even with a double‑row of parked cars, another vehicle can glide through comfortably.

Parking: A Love‑Hate Relationship

People seem drawn to leave their cars right along the curb, but it’s nothing that stops you from driving along—just a subtle hustle.
On hot weekends, you’ll find fewer cars trying to cross the street, thanks to the distance from the heart of the shops.

Close Enough, Too Close?

Proximity perks: The houses sit far enough away from the bustling shops that most folks won’t drive all the way out to cram their vehicle into the main lane—especially on a scorching Saturday. Yet they’re still in arm’s reach of every shopping indulgence you could dream about.

Quick Tips for the Festive Season

Expect a handful more cars trying to straddle the road—plan ahead accordingly.
Keep an eye on the temperature; a hot day might reduce the urge to park right beside the curb.
Enjoy the sweet spot: walking distance to everything, plus an unexpected sense of “everyone’s got their parking spot, but we’re still in the spotlight!”

Local Linear Park: The Tiny Path That Feels Like a Judgment‑Free Gym

Ever stumble across a place that’s only a few feet wide, yet somehow looks like a “linear park”? That’s exactly what you’ll find right across from the houses—just a razor‑thin path that people call a park. If I hadn’t Googled it first, I’d have thought it’d be a slick sidewalk instead of a place where folks can do a quick workout.

What’s Heavily A Park?

Picture this: a narrow strip, barely enough room for two or three people to mingle, but it’s surprisingly packed with:

Just enough space for three to four outdoor fitness machines
People who get their cardio in right under their streetlights
A vibe that feels at least half as fun as the MacPherson Gardens linear park—if MacPherson were a bit more… compact.

Why It’s Surprising

Honestly, the first time I walked by it, I was convinced that this was a fancy “pavement” design project. The whole thing looked like a tiny strip dedicated to the pedestrian fashion, with no actual sense of being a “park.” But nope—you can genuinely – and blindly – set up a few workout stations right there.

Final Verdict

It’s the kind of place that feels like a hidden gem: a little too small to be a park but big enough to get your heart pumping. If you love doing quick laser-like workouts, this in-between path might just surprise you. Who wouldn’t want a tiny park that doubles as a personal fitness playground without the hassle of a full‑size park?

Trouble in Paradise

Remember the Lockdown Property Craze?

There was a time in the thick of the Covid lockdown when folks were buying houses—yes, even the fancy landed ones—without ever setting foot inside. It sparked a whole wave of “First‑Time Buyer FOMO” that left everyone scratching their heads.

My Car‑Ride to Haus@Serangoon Gardens

Picture me cruising in my car, eyes glued to the idyllic green enclave that is Haus@Serangoon Gardens. It looks like a slice of tranquillity: lush trees, fresh air, that quiet, almost-magical vibe. Yet, in a blink, you’re in the middle of a bustling neighbourhood with cafés, grocery shops, and that ramen joint everyone swears you have to try.

Finding Peace at the T‑Junction

That big T‑junction that drops you straight onto the outskirts of Serangoon Gardens (the photo shows it on the left side) feels like a breath of fresh air you can almost taste, yet it’s only a quick hop to all the city buzz. The drive feels like stepping into a serene lagoon before the traffic hums back into life.

Serene landscapes – perfect for a sunset stroll.
Convenience factor – shopping, dining, and nightlife within a few steps.
Easy access – a neat T‑junction that gives you calm vibes plus connectivity.

When Your Morning Pick‑Up Turns Into a Noise Buildup

Picture this: you’re all set to trot out of your apartment, shoes on, coffee in hand, ready to roll it out the door. Then the moment that silver screen can’t help but try to explain – the noise hits you like a wall of sunshine. I was just about to start my day when a pit‑fall of traffic raids the serenity of my usual quiet corner.

What’s happening?

It’s a weekend – the Monday‑to‑Friday lull is long gone, but 7:30 am traffic keeps the streets buzzing like a caffeinated bee.
The “green oasis” of my building’s vicinity isn’t so green after all – the soothing shrubs and fresh leaves are just a pretty cover for the roar of the Central Expressway (CTE) that runs fine‑tuned like a bass line.
Verified by the map I checked after the initial stir: Haus@Serangoon Gardens is right next to the expressway. The map is pointing out exactly where you’ll be getting a front‑row seat to the traffic jam.

From the quietest lane to the loudest corner

I decided to investigate: a quick stroll to the house most distant from the CTE should just reveal a difference in noise levels. And guess what? The traffic buzz was just as loud there – so the “noise of the morning” doesn’t hop when you shift a few bricks forward.

Conclusion: The CTE is a one‑size‑fits‑all sound machine

Bottom line – if you appreciate that quiet and are looking for a place that keeps your ears free from the symphonic traffic, perhaps you’ll want to consider a more remote location. But if you love the convenience of a central spot and can live with the soundtrack of the city, this is what you’ll get – a bustling morning with the added benefit of that extreme soundtrack.

The Road rattle: Brighter day, louder noise

Picture yourself strolling around the quiet, end‑of‑road home you love, but the traffic outside the cul‑de‑sac isn’t playing its own lullaby—it’s a full‑blown concert in the ears. Even though you’re tucked in that cozy corner of the neighbourhood, the road noise stays as loud as ever, shouting like a persistent neighbor who just can’t keep quiet.

Living on the Edge of Noise

Picture this: you’re standing in your living room, the sun is shining, and you’re wondering if you can hear your neighbor’s cat meowing somewhere beyond the front door. That’s one way to describe living next to a busy road—if you can’t hear it from the inside, the chatter outside will still whisper into your ears. Breathing a relaxed sigh might feel more like an elevator ride than a leisurely afternoon.

Why It Matters for Your Future

Many people say they’re fine with noise, but that can hide a big secret when it comes to selling. A quiet neighborhood tends to fetch more eyes and pull higher prices. If you’re one of those who think “I don’t mind the rustle of traffic,” don’t be fooled— it could stifle future interest.

Common Concerns Split Into a Quick List

Outside Spaces: Larger yards often mean more noise, which can keep your patio from becoming the weekend hideaway it should be.
Home Comfort: Even subtle traffic hums can disturb those peaceful Sunday mornings.
Sell‑ability: Future buyers might skip over properties that ring with constant traffic.
Noise‑Sensitive Buyers: People who crave crisp silence might pass your house over for a quieter one.

Reality Check

Completely honest advice: if you’re considering snagging a landed home next to a major road, weigh the pros against the cons of that constant soundtrack. Even if the noise isn’t a deal‑breaker for you, it could be a hidden hurdle down the road when it’s time to move on.

TL;DR

Busy road = constant noise. Good for you if you don’t mind, but tough for future sellers. Think about the trade‑off before you sign that deed!

Shops & restaurants

Underpass Adventure Near the CTE

Curious where the hidden tunnel beneath the CTE leads? Let me take you on a quick tour.

What’s Inside the Underground Passage

Glides straight under the CTE onto the other side of the road.
Next stop? A bustling wet market or supermarket – I’ve seen plenty of shoppers returning with bags full.
It connects to the Ang Mo Kio HDB estate, Teck Ghee neighborhood park, and a handy bus stop.

Short Walk to a Mini Banking District

Just a ten‑minute stroll away lies a cluster of shophouses at the Serangoon Gardens roundabout. I counted at least three banks there, and let’s just say the commercial vibe is electric.

Feeling Like a Country Gremlin

When I first visited, I felt like a flat‑bumped country bumpkin – never before had I seen such a flurry of shops sprouting up in a landed housing enclave!

Local Retail Gems

There’s a cozy little mall called My Village featuring a Fair Price Finest, perfect for a quick buying spree. For a full retail adventure, Nex Mall is just a short drive away.

Living in This Neighborhood: A Flavorful (and Fit) Consideration

That’s the short version: the famed Chomp Chomp Market is just a quick 13‑minute walk away. It kicks open at 4 pm and stays bright all the way till the sun goes shade‑wide, making it the perfect spot for a late‑night supper.

Short stroll—helps you sneak in a little walk without breaking the ice‑cream routine.
Midnight cravings? Covered. The market’s late hours mean you can grab a bite anytime.
If you’re worried about staying in shape, remember that a brisk walk to the market counts toward your daily steps.

The Trade‑off: Convenience vs. Calm

Living in a little landed house usually feels like a quiet retreat, but Serangoon Gardens is a different story. Even at 8 a.m. on a weekday, the streets are packed with commuters, cafés opening their doors, and the ubiquitous traffic hum that makes the area feel alive.

Morning Madness

Bus stops become tiny traffic circles.
Street vendors start selling instant noodles before anyone has had a chance to pee.
Every person running for a meeting seems to be shouting “I’m early!” in unison.

So, if you’re after serenity and peace, a landed house outside the city likely feels more like a tranquil sanctuary. But if you’re a comfort‑seeker who prefers the buzz of an urban locale, Serangoon Gardens can still make sense.

Spiritual Shelters & Caregivers

The neighborhood hosts at least three churches within a ten‑minute radius, along with a handful of senior homes. One of those churches even organizes a food rescue event several times a month. That’s a nifty way to give back while staying close to a community that’s not just about condos and offices.

Ready to Find Your Perfect Home?

Looking for a place where kids can learn, families can stroll around, and you can hit the train in no time? You’ve just stumbled upon an area that’s got it all.

Schools That Won’t Let You Lose Sleep at Night

Chij Our Lady Of Good Counsel – an excellent option for those wanting Catholic education right on their doorstep.
Townsville Primary School – a friendly community hub, perfect for local children.
Teck Ghee Primary School – the chosen spot for families craving a blend of tradition and modernity.

All three are tucked within a gentle 1‑kilometre radius, so breakfast and lunch stop‑overs are a walk‑and‑talk away. Almost everyone gets something silver‑plated into this neighborhood.

Getting Around – The MRT & Buses

You’ve got a 25‑minute walk if you prefer the rhythm of your own pace and a nice stretch before you hit Ang Mo Kio MRT. If you’re more of a quick‑tick, Buses are cheering your way into the Serangoon Garden enclave — just be mindful there’s no bus stop that close; a quick hop off is required.

Why this spot matters?

Convenience meets convenience. Schools close by, transport vibes loud and clear — and the street name itself sounds like a plot twist waiting to happen. It’s exactly the kind of place you’ve been searching for.

Quick Takeaway

Grab a cup, pull up the map, and see the sweet spot where students train, buses buzz, and you walk to the MRT like a commuter emoji. All this, plus the best land‑lapped property options angling for that fairy‑tale close‑by vibe.
