Dover MRT Living Guide: HDB Flats, Houses and Prices Near EW22
Updated 2026-09-28
Dover MRT (EW22) on the East West Line sits between Clementi and Buona Vista, serving Singapore Polytechnic and a quiet pocket of HDB blocks, condominiums and landed homes. There are currently 446 live listings around the station, from resale flats at Dover Crescent to large landed houses averaging well above S$8 million. This guide covers what is for sale, what it costs, and what the Ulu Pandan development means for the area.
Living near Dover MRT
Dover is a small, established estate in Queenstown, on the western edge of the city fringe. The MRT station on Commonwealth Avenue West is directly linked to Singapore Polytechnic and was the network's first infill station, opened in 2001 specifically to serve the polytechnic and the Dover housing estate.
The appeal of the area is its position rather than its size. Buona Vista, one stop east, adds the Circle Line and the one-north business park, while Clementi town centre is one stop west. Holland Village, Ghim Moh market and the Star Vista and Rochester malls are all a short trip away, so residents borrow amenities from every direction.
Are there HDB flats for sale in Dover?
Yes. There are currently 45 HDB listings around Dover station on Hombble, most of them in the Dover Crescent and Dover Road blocks a short walk from the platform. Dover Crescent alone has 18 blocks and around 2,249 units, built between 1976 and 2012, in three-room to executive layouts.
Recent asking prices there illustrate the spread: two-room flats have been listed from about S$315,000, three-room flats around S$400,000, and larger five-room units such as a 1,431 sqft flat at 22 Dover Crescent at S$670,000. Searchers looking up specific blocks such as 20 Dover Crescent will find them within this same cluster, with resale activity of roughly 139 transactions across Dover Crescent in the past three years.
What is Dover Heights?
Dover Heights is a 99-year leasehold HDB development at Dover Close East in District 5, not a landed estate. It comprises 288 units across three blocks of up to 25 storeys, and the project reached its minimum occupation period back in 1983, making these some of the older flats in the area.
Its location is a quiet cul-de-sac about 530 metres from Buona Vista MRT, which puts residents within reach of both the East West and Circle Lines. Buyers weighing Dover Heights against the Dover Crescent blocks are essentially choosing between proximity to Buona Vista and proximity to Dover station itself.
Houses, condos and what homes cost near Dover
The 446 live listings around Dover MRT split into 217 landed homes, 184 condominium units and 45 HDB flats. Landed housing in the private enclaves surrounding the station dominates the top of the market, which is why the average asking price across all listings is S$8,519,016 for an average size of 4,176 sqft.
The average asking rate works out to S$3,635 per square foot, but that blended figure hides a wide range. HDB resale flats trade at a small fraction of it, while condominiums such as Dover Parkview, with its pool, four tennis courts and large grounds, sit between the public housing blocks and the landed homes on price. Buyers searching for houses for sale in Dover should read the headline average as a landed-market signal rather than the cost of entry.
Transport, schools and amenities
Dover station (EW22) runs direct to Jurong East in one direction and Raffles Place and the city in the other, with the Circle Line interchange one stop away at Buona Vista. The station itself is distinctive, with an arched roof and full-height glass, and its direct link into Singapore Polytechnic keeps the area busy on weekdays.
The education cluster is the area's strongest card. Beyond Singapore Polytechnic, nearby schools include Fairfield Methodist School, Henry Park Primary and Raffles Girls' Primary, with Anglo-Chinese Junior College close to Dover Close East. International options in the vicinity include United World College, Tanglin Trust School and Dover Court International School, which supports steady rental demand from expatriate families.
What is coming next for Dover
The biggest change is the Ulu Pandan development in the eastern half of Dover Forest, where HDB is building around 3,000 new flats across three projects. The first project of 1,330 three-room and four-room flats launched in the November 2022 sales exercise, planned as a car-lite precinct with low-rise blocks facing the canal and high-rise blocks along Commonwealth Avenue West, alongside about five hectares of greenery. The western half of the forest is being kept for now.
Private supply is also arriving nearby, including Dover Road Residences, a mixed-use project with 625 homes and 3,000 square metres of commercial space close to one-north MRT. New flats and new private stock will give the estate its first meaningful injection of younger housing in years, while the existing Dover Crescent and Dover Heights blocks remain the affordable route into a well-connected, school-rich pocket of Queenstown.
