Telok Blangah: Mature Estate on the Edge of Singapore's Biggest Waterfront Plan
Updated 2026-09-29
Telok Blangah sits between the Southern Ridges and the harbour, with 346 homes currently listed at an average asking price of S$2,876,881. The Circle Line loop completion in July 2026 and the 10,000-home Berlayar estate next door are reshaping its prospects.
What is it like living near Telok Blangah MRT?
Telok Blangah MRT (CC28) is an underground Circle Line station on Telok Blangah Road, near the junction with Henderson Road. It sits in a mature residential neighbourhood in District 4, roughly midway between HarbourFront and Tiong Bahru, with the green spine of the Southern Ridges rising directly behind it.
Day to day, the area is quieter than the CBD districts it borders. Telok Blangah Hill Park and Mount Faber Park are both within walking distance, connected by the Henderson Waves pedestrian bridge, and the full Southern Ridges trail runs from Kent Ridge to Labrador Nature Reserve. VivoCity and HarbourFront Centre, a five-minute MRT ride or short drive away, handle most retail and grocery needs. Dining runs from hawker centres along Telok Blangah Drive to seafood restaurants on Telok Blangah Road, including well-known names such as FuLee Seafood.
What is at 612 Telok Blangah Road?
612 Telok Blangah Road is the address of Skyline Residences, a freehold condominium developed by Bukit Sembawang View and completed in 2015. The development has 283 units across 24 floors and sits roughly 330 metres from Telok Blangah MRT.
Skyline Residences is one of several private condominiums that make up the bulk of Telok Blangah's housing stock. Of the 346 listings currently on Hombble, 222 are condos, reflecting the concentration of freehold and leasehold private developments along Telok Blangah Road and the surrounding streets.
HDB flats on Telok Blangah Crescent and the area's housing mix
Telok Blangah Crescent is a cluster of about 30 HDB blocks in the Bukit Merah estate, built between 1975 and 2002, housing roughly 3,980 units. These blocks offer three-room to five-room flats, and resale prices on the Crescent currently range from around S$280,000 to S$720,000, with an average of about S$567 per square foot. That is well below the area's overall average of S$1,637 per square foot, which is pulled up by the larger share of private condominiums in the listings.
Across the full Telok Blangah market on Hombble, 123 of 346 listings are HDB flats and just one is landed. The average listed home is 1,570 square feet with an asking price of S$2,876,881. For buyers, the practical split is clear: affordable older HDB stock on the Crescent and surrounding streets, or private condos at a significant premium along Telok Blangah Road.
How well connected is Telok Blangah by MRT?
Since the Circle Line Stage 6 opened on 12 July 2026, Telok Blangah MRT now sits on a complete loop. Residents can reach Marina Bay, Dhoby Ghaut, Botanic Gardens, and one-north without changing lines. HarbourFront, the interchange with the North-East Line, is one stop away.
By road, the Ayer Rajah Expressway and West Coast Highway are both accessible within minutes, and the CBD is under a 10-minute drive via Keppel Road. Bus services along Telok Blangah Road and Henderson Road add further coverage for areas the Circle Line does not reach directly.
Schools and daily amenities
Three primary schools serve the immediate area: Radin Mas Primary School, Blangah Rise Primary School, and CHIJ Kellock. For secondary education, CHIJ St Theresa's Convent is within the neighbourhood. Shelton College International provides a private option.
Everyday needs are covered by a wet market and food centre on Telok Blangah Drive, a FairPrice outlet at Telok Blangah Mall, and the broader retail offering at VivoCity. The area also has community facilities including a branch library and sports centre, and Masjid Al-Amin serves the local Muslim community.
What is changing: the Greater Southern Waterfront and Berlayar estate
The biggest shift for Telok Blangah is happening next door. The former Keppel Club golf course site, directly south, is being transformed into Berlayar estate as part of Singapore's Greater Southern Waterfront plan. When complete, Berlayar will add roughly 10,000 new homes across 48 hectares, split between about 7,000 HDB flats and 3,000 private units. The first BTO project, Berlayar Residences with 870 units, launched in October 2025.
On the private side, a Government Land Sale site on Telok Blangah Road was awarded to Kingsford Group at S$1,326 per square foot per plot ratio. The resulting development, Telok Blangah Residences, is expected to preview in early 2027.
For existing owners, the Greater Southern Waterfront pipeline is a double-edged prospect. New supply will compete for buyers, but the infrastructure, parks, and waterfront amenities planned for the corridor should lift the neighbourhood's profile and long-term connectivity. Telok Blangah's position, already well served by the completed Circle Line loop and bordered by protected green space, gives it a head start over estates being built from scratch.
