Yahoo Finance 14 affordable properties within 1km of top primary schools in Singapore
Are you really a Singaporean parent if you don’t get caught in the ‘kiasu‘ trap when it comes to enrolling your child into a top primary school? While it’s natural for every parent to want what’s best for their children, uprooting their entire lives for their child to attend a good primary school is definitely taking parenting to the next level.
There are many reasons why parents gun for a particular school. Some want their kids to study in their alma mater as a way to preserve the family tradition of having generations graduate from the same school. Others might be eyeing a branded school as they see it as a major key in giving their child a strong head start in life by building important connections early and having access to better co-curricular activities.
If you think pre-school jitters only affect the students, you’d be wrong – parents facing the impending decision of picking a primary school are definitely feeling the heat, perhaps even more than the children themselves.
Primary school registration criteria
The admission criteria for getting into a primary school give priority admission to children living closer to their preferred school. They have a higher chance of being admitted due to their close proximity, versus those living outside the specified radius.
According to MOE, this Home-School Distance (HSD) rule prioritises the educational interest of the child so that they can spend less time on daily commuting and more time pursuing other interests, as well as for the convenience of the family.
Since 2022, MOE has changed the HSD rule. Previously, the rule was calculated based on a specific reference point from within the school compound. However, MOE has expanded this reference point, calculating the shortest distance from the School Land Boundary (SLB) to the applicant’s home instead.
This has resulted in an increase of the number of homes that fall within the 1km radius of schools by an average of 10 per cent, which means more children might qualify to attend schools near their homes.
Parents can use the Singapore Land Authority’s SchoolQuery tool to find out if their home lies within the 1km or 2km radius of their chosen school.
Facing stiffer competition
Another change is the combining of Phases 2A1 and 2A2 in tandem with doubling the current 20 places reserved in Phase 2C of the primary school intake. Phase 2C is the open category for those without prior links with the school. This is usually the most competitive phase, compared to the other phases, where places are reserved for children with siblings in the school or alumni associations.
Those with prior links to schools now have less advantage in MOE’s bid to make the admission process fairer.
When schools are oversubscribed, the school will run a ballot, which is essentially a lottery where the likely advantage you have is the proximity of your residence to the school.
In the face of such fierce competition, many parents have (and will) move to within 1km of a chosen primary school years ahead of time.
If you’re one such parent looking to purchase a property to be closer to your child’s preferred school, we’ve got you.
Here are the most affordable properties that are closest in proximity to 14 popular primary schools. (Disclaimer: At the time of writing this article, the properties listed below were the most affordable in their respective areas.

Conclusion
Parents should keep in mind that while having a residential address within the proximity radius of their preferred primary school could increase the chances of admission, it is not an automatic guarantee.
Instead, the focus should be on finding a school that will provide support and exposure in the areas of their child’s interests.
This is in line with former Education Minister Heng Swee Keat’s belief of “every school a good school”, as mentioned in his speech during Budget 2014.
Former Education Minister Ong Ye Kung echoed his sentiments with the statement, “We must define a good school from the perspective of the child. If a school meets the needs of the child, it is a good school – never mind if it is not popular or branded.”
