Living near Braddell MRT: prices, Braddell Hill and what is next
Updated 2026-09-28
Braddell station (NS18) on the North South Line sits between Toa Payoh's mature HDB estate and the private enclave of Braddell Hill. This guide covers what homes cost here today, what the Braddell View blocks at 10 Braddell Hill actually are, and the major facilities arriving in Toa Payoh by 2030.
Living near Braddell MRT
Braddell MRT (NS18) is an underground station on the North South Line, sited at the junction of Lorong 1 and Lorong 2 Toa Payoh. It is one of two stations serving Toa Payoh New Town, and it puts residents two stops from Bishan's interchange in one direction and the city core in the other.
The area around the station mixes older HDB blocks with a small cluster of private condominiums, including Trevista, Gem Residences and the newly launched The Orie. West of the station, across Braddell Road, the ground rises into Braddell Hill, a quieter private pocket bordering the greenery of the MacRitchie area.
What is at 10 Braddell Hill?
The blocks at 10 Braddell Hill, lettered 10A through 10J, make up Braddell View, a 918-unit former HUDC estate completed in 1981. So a search for 10C, 10D, 10G or 10J Braddell Hill is a search for a specific block within this single large development, not for separate properties.
Braddell View is the largest of Singapore's 18 former HUDC estates, spread across 18 blocks of three-bedroom apartments and maisonettes with full condominium facilities such as tennis courts, a swimming pool and a clubhouse. It sits on a 99-year lease dating from 1981, and is about a five-minute walk from Caldecott MRT on the Circle and Thomson-East Coast lines, with Braddell station roughly ten minutes away on foot.
The estate has an unusual recent history. It was privatised in 2019 after a process that ran 18 years, complicated by the need to harmonise the leases of the two land plots it sits on. Within months of privatisation, residents moved to form a collective sale committee, with the management corporation chairman hoping for a price above S$2 billion. No sale has completed, so the blocks remain available on the resale market.
What do homes near Braddell cost?
There are currently 253 live listings around Braddell station on Hombble, with an average asking price of S$1,160,254 and an average size of 1,028 sqft, which works out to S$1,143 per square foot. The mix is dominated by public housing, with 181 HDB flats against 71 condominium units and a single landed listing.
That average conceals a wide spread. Resale flats in the surrounding Toa Payoh blocks anchor the lower end, while newer private stock commands far more. The Orie, a 777-unit project a five-minute walk from the station, sold 86 per cent of its units on its January 2025 launch weekend at an average of S$2,704 per square foot, the first new private launch in Toa Payoh since 2016. Older leasehold stock such as Braddell View trades well below that, reflecting its 1981 lease start.
Amenities and schools around the station
Daily needs are well covered. There is a convenience store at the station itself, FairPrice outlets nearby, and the HDB Hub and Toa Payoh Central shops one stop away. Junction 8 in Bishan is two stops up the line.
For families, the nearest primary schools include Kheng Cheng School, Guangyang Primary School and Marymount Convent School, while Pei Chun Public School, a Special Assistance Plan school, sits at Toa Payoh Lorong 7. First Toa Payoh Secondary and Raffles Institution's Bishan campus are also within a short bus or train ride.
What is coming to the area by 2030?
The biggest change ahead is the Toa Payoh Integrated Development, a 12-hectare project between Lorong 6 Toa Payoh and the PIE. Construction began in January 2025 and completion is expected by 2030.
It will bring a regional sports centre with a 10,000-seat stadium, indoor and outdoor pools and a 22-court indoor sports hall, alongside a new polyclinic, a replacement public library and a rejuvenated Toa Payoh Town Park. For owners near Braddell, that is a substantial upgrade to the town's facilities within a decade, and one reason buyer interest in this mature estate has stayed firm.
