The most affordable district in this dataset at $1,261 psf across 287 transactions. You are buying space and quiet, and paying for it in commute time.
What the numbers say
Condominium transactions, 12 months to July 2026 (URA caveats). Rental medians, Q2 2026 (URA contracts). HDB figures are 4-room resale registrations for PASIR RIS, 12 months to July 2026 (data.gov.sg) — HDB publishes by town, not by postal district.

What moves price here
- Lowest private psf of any district measured. That is a genuine value proposition, not a data artefact — 287 deals support it.
- Changi Business Park and the airport are the employment anchors, which makes rental demand quite specific to those sectors.
- Commute is the trade. Everything else here follows from how you price your travel time.
Who it suits
Buyers who work in the east, want maximum floor area per dollar, and genuinely don’t mind the distance.
What to check before you commit
- Aircraft noise on the specific stack
- Realistic door-to-door commute at peak hour
- Resale liquidity — the buyer pool here is narrower
