Property overview: 133 Potong Pasir Avenue 1 in Toa Payoh
Block 133 Potong Pasir Avenue 1 sits in the Potong Pasir precinct of Toa Payoh, a mature, centrally located estate in District 13, popular with families who want city-fringe convenience without giving up neighbourhood charm.[1] Walking through the area, you’ll notice low-rise HDB maisonette blocks, leafy walkways and older coffee shops that long-time residents still frequent for breakfast.
According to publicly available estate data, Block 133 is a small development of about 12 Executive maisonette units (executive flat type only), with the highest floor around 4 storeys and an original 99-year lease that has roughly 57 years remaining as of 2025.[2] The low-rise profile gives many units a more landed, walk-up feel compared to high-rise BTOs.
Based on nearby block research along Potong Pasir Avenue 1, the surrounding estate has benefitted from past lift upgrading and estate renewal programmes, with well-maintained common areas and covered linkways to bus stops and amenities.[1] When you walk from 133 towards Potong Pasir MRT, you pass upgraded playgrounds, fitness corners, and sheltered walkways that are especially useful during rainy evenings.
Available flat types & typical resale prices at 133 Potong Pasir Avenue 1
Unlike many Toa Payoh blocks with mixed 3-room and 4-room units, 133 Potong Pasir Avenue 1 is made up entirely of Executive maisonettes — large two-storey HDB units typically around 149–161 sqm (1,600–1,730 sq ft).[2][6] These are highly sought after by multi-generation families who want more space in a mature estate.
Recent HDB resale data (via data.gov.sg, compiled in Homejourney’s research) and corroborated block-level statistics show these key transactions for Executive units at Block 133:[1][2][3][6]
- 2016: Executive, ~151 sqm – around S$900,000 (~S$554 psf)
- Mar 2022: Executive, ~149 sqm – around S$900,000 (~S$561 psf)
- Aug 2024: Executive, 161 sqm – S$1,240,000 (~S$716 psf), remaining lease ~58 years
This shows a clear uplift from sub-S$600 psf in 2016–2022 to above S$700 psf by 2024, in line with premium Toa Payoh and city-fringe maisonette pricing.[1][2][3][6] In 2026, buyers can generally expect asking prices for Executive units in this stack to be in the S$1.1M–S$1.3M range, depending on floor, renovation, and facing (estimate based on trend growth; always verify latest numbers through HDB and Homejourney’s live data).
While Block 133 itself is Executive-only, nearby Potong Pasir Avenue 1 blocks offer 3-room, 4-room, and 5-room flats. Based on recent Toa Payoh resale trends for comparable mature-city-fringe blocks around Potong Pasir and Woodleigh (HDB data and Straits Times coverage of rising central HDB prices), typical 2025–2026 resale ranges are broadly:
- 3-room Toa Payoh flat (older blocks, 60+ years lease): about S$450,000–S$650,000
- 4-room Toa Payoh HDB for sale (upgraded, near MRT): about S$700,000–S$950,000
- 5-room Toa Payoh HDB resale (good location, modern layout): about S$900,000–S$1.15M
These are town-level guide ranges for buyers comparing 133 Potong Pasir Avenue 1 for sale against alternative units. Executive maisonettes here naturally sit above these due to their much larger size and two-storey layout.

Why buy an HDB resale at 133 Potong Pasir Avenue 1?
Having walked this stretch of Potong Pasir Avenue 1 regularly, one of the biggest draws is how quickly you can get from quiet residential pockets to daily conveniences. From Block 133, it’s roughly a 5–7 minute walk to Potong Pasir MRT (NE10) via Exit A, cutting through the inner estate paths rather than circling the main road.[1] This is a genuine everyday benefit for commuters heading to Dhoby Ghaut, HarbourFront or Punggol.
Key location and lifestyle advantages include:
- Transport connectivity: Besides Potong Pasir MRT, multiple bus services run along Potong Pasir Ave 1 and Upper Serangoon Road, linking to Toa Payoh Central, Serangoon and the CBD. Drivers also enjoy quick access to the CTE and PIE via nearby entrances.
- Amenities: Potong Pasir Community Club is just a few minutes’ walk away, offering classes, enrichment for kids, and sports facilities.[1] Nearby, you’ll find neighbourhood coffeeshops, a supermarket, and a wet market that many long-time residents still prefer over larger malls for fresh produce.
- Malls & dining: The Poiz Centre at Potong Pasir MRT offers F&B, clinics and retail, while larger malls at NEX (Serangoon) and Woodleigh Mall are one MRT stop away.
- Parks & recreation: The Kallang Park Connector is within cycling distance, letting residents jog or cycle towards Kallang Riverside or Bishan.
For families, school proximity can be a key reason to shortlist this block. Several popular primary schools are within a short drive or public-transport ride; buyers should always confirm the latest 1km/2km school distance using MOE’s official school distance checker before relying on this for balloting, as boundaries and eligibility may change.
Community-wise, older Potong Pasir residents often know their neighbours by name, and there’s a noticeable kampung feel — ground-floor units with plants outside, residents chatting at void decks in the evening, and regulars at the same hawker stalls. If you’re upgrading from a smaller BTO and want both space and this kind of community, Block 133 is a strong candidate.

For serious buyers, understanding 133 Potong Pasir Avenue 1 HDB price trends and resale analysis is key before making an offer.
Recent transactions & PSF benchmarks
Using HDB’s official resale records (via data.gov.sg), complemented by Homejourney’s research, we can observe:
- 2016 Executive sale at Block 133: about S$900,000 for ~151 sqm (~S$554 psf)
- Mar 2022 Executive sale: about S$900,000 for ~149 sqm (~S$561 psf)[2][3]
- Aug 2024 Executive sale: S$1,240,000 for 161 sqm (~S$716 psf), remaining lease ~58 years[1][2][3][6]
In neighbouring Potong Pasir Avenue 1 blocks, Executive units have transacted at around S$1.16M (Block 129, Feb 2024, ~S$669 psf) and S$950,000 at Block 132 in Feb 2022 (~S$584 psf).[1] This indicates a rising PSF trajectory for large units in this micro-market.
Within Toa Payoh as a whole, Executive flats in good locations are generally trading around the S$650–750 psf band as of 2025–2026, putting Block 133 at the upper end due to its city-fringe location and MRT proximity.[1] Buyers should therefore budget assuming a price premium over older, less central Toa Payoh blocks.
Key valuation drivers at this block
When evaluating an asking price at Block 133, Homejourney recommends paying attention to:
- Remaining lease: With around 57–58 years left as of mid-2020s, these units remain financeable but are moving into the age range where CPF usage and loan tenures may be constrained if leases run significantly past age 95 for younger buyers (refer to CPF Board’s rules for older flats). Always cross-check lease start date and CPF usage limits on HDB/CPF calculators.
- Floor level & noise: As a low-rise block with four storeys, high-floor premiums are more modest than in 30+ storey blocks, but units away from road noise or with better ventilation still command higher prices.
- Facing & view: Some units enjoy greener, more open internal views, while others may face traffic or neighbouring blocks more directly. Unblocked or partial-park-connector views tend to fetch stronger prices.
- Renovation & layout: Well-maintained, tastefully renovated maisonettes with efficient staircase placement and open-plan living on the lower level can significantly reduce your renovation budget, justifying a higher purchase price.
Because this block has limited transaction volume, working with verified Homejourney data and trusted agents is important to avoid overpaying based on isolated record prices.
Who can buy an HDB resale flat at 133 Potong Pasir Avenue 1?
For HDB resale purchases, eligibility is governed by HDB’s standard schemes. As of 2026, key rules include (always cross-check with HDB.gov.sg for updates):
- Citizenship:
- Singapore Citizen (SC) households and SC+PR households can buy HDB resale flats under family schemes.
- Two Singapore PRs can buy a resale flat together only after both have held PR status for at least 3 years.
- Family nucleus: Most buyers must form an eligible family nucleus (e.g. spouse and children, with parents, or under non-citizen spouse scheme). Singles can buy a resale flat under the Single Singapore Citizen Scheme from age 35.
- Income ceiling: There is no income ceiling for buying a resale HDB (income ceilings apply to BTOs and some grants, not the purchase itself).
- Singles & 2-room Flexi: Singles aged 35+ can buy certain 2-room Flexi units on the resale market, subject to flat type and HDB rules. Since Block 133 is Executive-only, it is generally more suitable for families or multi-generation households.
- Ethnic Integration Policy (EIP) & SPR quota: Every block has monthly EIP and non-Malaysian PR quotas. You must check whether your ethnic group and citizenship combination is allowed for Block 133 at your month of purchase via HDB’s EIP/SPR quota checker.
Because EIP and SPR quotas update monthly and can impact whether you can legally buy a particular flat, Homejourney always recommends checking this early in your search, not only at the OTP stage.
HDB grants available for buyers at 133 Potong Pasir Avenue 1
One of the biggest advantages of buying an HDB resale instead of a private property is access to CPF housing grants. As of 2026, eligible first-timer households buying a resale flat can receive up to S$190,000 in total grants, depending on income and proximity conditions (figures from HDB’s grant schemes; always verify latest amounts on HDB.gov.sg).
Key grants include:
- CPF Housing Grant (Family Grant): Up to S$80,000 for eligible first-timer families buying a resale flat. Grant size depends on citizenship and flat type.
- Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG): Up to S$80,000, income-tested based on average household income. Lower-income households receive higher grant amounts, tapering down as income rises.
- Proximity Housing Grant (PHG): Up to S$30,000 if you buy a resale HDB within 4 km of your parents’ or children’s home (or to live together). For many Toa Payoh families whose parents already live in central estates, 133 Potong Pasir Avenue 1 can qualify.
In an ideal scenario, a first-timer family could stack these to reach as much as S$190,000 in total grants, significantly reducing the effective cost of an Executive maisonette here. Do note that grants are credited into your CPF OA, not given as cash, and will be counted as part of your CPF housing refund if you sell in future.
Financing your HDB purchase: loans, CPF & cash
For a large-ticket purchase like an Executive unit at 133 Potong Pasir Avenue 1, choosing the right loan is crucial. In 2026, the broad framework is:
- HDB concessionary loan:
- Loan-to-Value (LTV) limit typically up to 80%, subject to HDB’s credit assessment and Mortgage Servicing Ratio (MSR).
- Interest rate currently pegged at 2.6% p.a. (0.1% above CPF OA rate).
- Household income ceiling of S$14,000 for families (higher for extended families) to be eligible.
