Sembawang Property: 356 Listings Near NS11 From S$770/sqft
Updated 2026-09-29
Sembawang is a mature HDB heartland in Singapore's north with 356 live listings averaging S$1,073,881. An 86-hectare shipyard redevelopment, new BTO launches, and the Bukit Canberra sports hub are reshaping the area around NS11.
What is it like living near Sembawang MRT?
Sembawang MRT (NS11) sits on the North South Line, roughly 35 minutes by train to Orchard and under 50 minutes to Raffles Place. The station opens directly onto Sembawang Bus Interchange and Sun Plaza, a neighbourhood mall with an NTUC FairPrice supermarket, food outlets, and the Sembawang Public Library.
Daily life here is quieter than most parts of Singapore. The town was developed from the mid-1990s and retains a low-rise, spacious feel. Sembawang Hot Spring Park, the only natural hot spring on mainland Singapore, is a short walk north of the station. The spring water surfaces at around 70 degrees Celsius and cascades through cooled pools open to the public daily from 7am to 7pm, free of charge.
Bukit Canberra, the integrated sports and community hub next to the MRT station, houses the largest ActiveSG gym in Singapore, a six-lane sheltered swimming pool, a polyclinic, a senior care centre, and a hawker centre. For a north-region town, the amenity base is unusually complete.
What is Sun Sails Sembawang?
Sun Sails is a 726-unit HDB development at Sembawang Avenue, launched in the November 2020 BTO exercise and completed in 2025. It comprises eight blocks of two-room flexi, three-room, four-room, and five-room flats, located between Canberra MRT and Sembawang MRT.
The project sits at the junction of Sembawang Avenue and Sembawang Road, within walking distance of Sembawang Primary School and MOE Kindergarten @ Sembawang. As a recently completed BTO, Sun Sails units are now entering the resale market, contributing to the supply of newer flats in the area.
Housing stock and prices around Sembawang
Hombble currently lists 356 properties near Sembawang MRT. The mix is overwhelmingly HDB: 298 HDB flats, 45 executive condominiums, 12 landed homes, and one private condominium. The average asking price is S$1,073,881, the average unit size is 1,251 square feet, and the average price per square foot is S$770.
Addresses along Sembawang Close and Sembawang Walk make up a significant share of the older HDB stock in the estate. Blocks on Sembawang Close, for instance, include four-room, five-room, and executive flats spread across 26 blocks. These older flats tend to be larger and carry lower per-square-foot prices than the newer BTO completions nearby.
HDB has continued to build in Sembawang. Sembawang Beacon, a 775-unit project, was launched in July 2025. Sembawang Deck, offering 777 units in blocks of 20 to 25 storeys, followed in February 2026. Both projects add to the town's housing capacity and signal continued government investment in the area.
Schools in the Sembawang catchment
Sembawang Primary School is the closest primary school to the MRT station, roughly a six to eight-minute walk away. Canberra Primary School and Endeavour Primary School also serve the town. For secondary education, Sembawang Secondary School is on Sembawang Crescent, while Ahmad Ibrahim Secondary and Marsiling Secondary are in the neighbouring Marsiling corridor.
Families choosing Sembawang for school proximity should note that the town's primary schools sit comfortably within the one-kilometre and two-kilometre priority admission bands for most of the HDB blocks around the station.
What the shipyard redevelopment means for Sembawang
The single largest change ahead for Sembawang is the redevelopment of the 86-hectare Sembawang Shipyard site, announced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong at the 2025 National Day Rally. The shipyard's operations will wind down and relocate to Tuas from 2028, freeing the waterfront land for a mixed-use precinct with homes, dining, and recreation.
The URA's Draft Master Plan 2025 earmarks the site for phased transformation over 10 to 15 years, preserving elements of its maritime heritage. The scale is comparable to Jurong Lake Gardens. For existing residents and buyers, this is a long-horizon play: the precinct will take years to materialise, but the commitment of public planning resources signals that Sembawang's northern waterfront will look very different by the mid-2030s.
Combined with the ongoing BTO pipeline and the completed Bukit Canberra hub, Sembawang is a town still being built out rather than one that has peaked. Buyers looking at current listings are pricing in a neighbourhood that has meaningful infrastructure yet to come.
