1. Property overview: 539 Jurong West Avenue 1 at a glance
Block 539 Jurong West Avenue 1 sits in the heart of Jurong West, Singapore’s largest HDB town in the west, a short bus ride from Jurong Point and close to the Jurong Lake Gardens (including the Chinese and Japanese Gardens). For buyers who know the area, it’s along Jurong West Avenue 1 between Boon Lay and Lakeside, with a very lived-in, family-friendly atmosphere.
According to public block data, this is a mixed-use residential block completed in 1984, with a 99-year lease commencing in 1984 and a maximum height of 12 storeys.[1] At the time of writing, the remaining lease is around 57–58 years, so CPF usage is still generally possible, though buyers should always check HDB’s latest CPF and lease rules for older flats.
The block comprises mainly 4-room and 5-room Model A flats, with recorded floor areas of 104 sqm, 134 sqm and 136 sqm.[1] The older HDB layouts here tend to be squarish and spacious, with larger living rooms and bedrooms compared to many newer estates. Based on ground experience, these flats are popular with larger families and multi-generational households who value space over newer finishes.
Upgrading-wise, most Jurong West 1980s blocks, including this one, would have gone through Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP) and common area improvements. Always verify specific HIP or LUP status with HDB or the Town Council and check for any upgrading bills that may still be payable.

Jurong West town-level HDB price trends
Jurong West as a town has seen steady resale price growth over the past 3–5 years, supported by improved connectivity, rejuvenation plans in the Jurong Lake District and rising demand for larger flats. Data from recent HDB market reports and media coverage in sources like Straits Times Housing News and Business Times Property show that west-side mature estates have benefited from overall HDB resale price rises since 2020.
When you compare this block to similar-age 4-room and 5-room HDB flats in Jurong West, 539 Jurong West Avenue 1 generally sits in the mid to upper tier of town pricing, largely due to school proximity and convenient transport. Still, it tends to be more affordable than newer, smaller flats in some central locations.
Key factors affecting valuation here
- Remaining lease (~57–58 years): Affects bank financing tenure and CPF usage; buyers should check HDB’s lease and CPF calculators.
- Floor level: The 2024 transaction shows high demand for mid-floor 5-room units, which command a premium over low-floor units in 2022.
- Flat condition: Older renovations may need updating; fully renovated units can command significantly higher prices.
- Facing & noise: Units set back from main road and not facing busy junctions tend to be more sought-after.
Disclaimer: All price figures are based on past transactions and town-level estimates and are not a guarantee of future prices. Always cross-check latest numbers via HDB’s official resale portal and Homejourney’s Projects data tools before making an offer.
