District 15 Landed Property Types

The district contains several landed housing enclaves, each with its own street character, tenure profile and price level. Understanding the categories helps buyers and owners compare options on a like-for-like basis.

Terrace Houses

The most common landed type in Joo Chiat and Katong. The stock ranges from authentic conservation terrace houses to fully rebuilt modern homes.

  • Typical plot: long and narrow, sharing party walls
  • Buyer profile: first-time landed buyers, small families, investors
  • Verify actual prices and volumes with latest URA caveat data

Semi-Detached Houses

Larger footprint than terraces, with a required side setback. Often found on quieter estate roads with more breathing room.

  • Typical plot: wider frontage, shared wall on one side
  • Buyer profile: upgrading families seeking space and privacy
  • Actual prices vary by street, land size and condition

Detached Houses & Bungalows

The largest landed category, typically set on bigger plots with no shared walls. Includes both Good Class Bungalow areas and smaller detached enclaves.

  • Typical plot: substantial land area, full setbacks
  • Buyer profile: multi-generational families, high-net-worth buyers
  • Verify land size, plot ratio and use with SLA / URA records

Cluster / Strata Landed

A smaller sub-category where landed-style homes sit within a strata-titled development with shared facilities. Less common than pure landed in District 15.

  • Typical plot: strata subdivided, shared common areas
  • Buyer profile: those wanting landed living with estate facilities
  • Check strata bylaws and maintenance charges
