Aston Lodge at a Glance: Key Project Facts

Aston Lodge is a freehold private apartment located at 56 Lorong 8 Geylang in District 14, within the Geylang–Paya Lebar city-fringe corridor.[2][3] It is a small development with only 13 residential units, completed around 1996.[2][3][7]

The project sits on a compact land area of about 405 sqm with a gross floor area of roughly 1,134 sqm, which explains why facilities are more limited compared to larger condominiums.[2] According to Homejourney's project data, recent transacted sizes are around 91 sqm (980 sqft) for typical units, with a June 2025 transaction at about $1.1m (~$1,123 psf).[5] Do note that prices and availability change; always verify latest data on the Aston Lodge project page at Homejourney Projects Directory and the dedicated project profile Projects Directory .

Because of its boutique scale and freehold tenure, Aston Lodge appeals mainly to owner-occupiers who prefer privacy and investors looking for a low-quantum city-fringe property in D14 Geylang.

Unit Mix & Floor Plan Overview

Aston Lodge’s floor plans are straightforward, with mainly compact apartment layouts suitable for small families, couples, and tenants. Based on project specifications and market data, unit sizes range from about 807 sqft to 980 sqft.[3][7]

While the original developer materials are no longer widely circulated, floor plan information from project databases and on-site marketing suggests the following typical configurations (sizes are approximate):

2-bedroom units: ~807–850 sqft
3-bedroom units: ~900–980 sqft

There is no evidence of micro studios or very large penthouses here; the emphasis is on compact, efficient apartments that maximise usable space for a small site.[3][7] For the latest floor plan PDFs, you can refer to developer-spec references or authorised documentation via professional agents, or review what is available through Homejourney’s Aston Lodge project profile Projects Directory .

Inside the Typical Aston Lodge Layout

From walking units along Lorong 8 Geylang and studying available plans, Aston Lodge layouts follow a classic mid-1990s Singapore apartment style:

Rectangular living/dining area fronting small balconies or bay windows
Enclosed kitchen with rear service yard in some larger units
Common corridor leading to bedrooms and bathrooms
Master bedroom with attached bathroom, plus one or two common bedrooms

Ceiling heights are generally standard for projects of this era (around 2.8–3.0m), which still feels comfortable once you refresh interiors with lighter colours and modern lighting. As with many older freehold apartments, you may find slightly larger room sizes compared to newer shoebox developments, which is attractive for families planning long-term occupation.

What to Look For When Reviewing Aston Lodge Floor Plans

When you review individual floor plans of Aston Lodge (via your agent or Homejourney listings), pay special attention to:

Column and beam positions: Older blocks sometimes have structural beams intruding into bedrooms; check wardrobe placement.
Window orientations: Units facing away from the main Lorong 8 Geylang frontage may enjoy quieter conditions, especially at night.
Kitchen size and ventilation: If you cook heavily, prioritise units with a proper external-facing kitchen window and yard.
Bathroom layout: Look for bathrooms with windows rather than full mechanical ventilation, to reduce long-term humidity issues.

Smart Home Potential and Renovation Considerations

Aston Lodge predates the smart home era, so there are no built-in smart systems by default.[2][3] However, the regular column grid and simple layout make it relatively easy to retrofit:

Smart locks on the main door for keyless entry
Wi-Fi–enabled aircon units and lighting controls
CCTV or video doorbells inside individual units to complement common-area security

Because of the age of the development (around 30 years), budget for upgrading works, especially for air-conditioning and electricals. After purchase, you can coordinate trusted servicing providers via Homejourney’s curated post-move directory such as Aircon Services to keep your systems safe and efficient.

Facilities at Aston Lodge: What You Actually Get

Given its very small site and 13-unit scale, Aston Lodge does not offer the full range of condo-style facilities like large swimming pools, tennis courts or extensive clubhouses.[2][3] Instead, you can expect a simpler apartment-style facilities profile:

Ground-level car park or covered parking for residents
Basic security features such as gated entrance; exact arrangements may vary by MCST over time
Lift access to upper floors

There are no published official references to a swimming pool or gym within the compound on major project databases, and the constrained land area supports this conclusion.[2][3][7] If a full suite of lifestyle facilities is non-negotiable for you, you may want to compare Aston Lodge with larger nearby D14 projects via Homejourney’s project directory Projects Directory .

Security & Safety Considerations

Many buyers ask about safety when they hear "Geylang". From living and working around D14, the reality is that:

Geylang has been progressively cleaned up with zoning and enforcement by URA and SPF over the past decade.
Residential stretches such as Lorong 8 are more mixed-use and are generally busy but manageable, especially closer to main roads.
As with any city-fringe location, personal awareness and basic precautions (e.g. secure main doors, use of CCTV inside units) are advisable.

Aston Lodge’s small scale can be an advantage: residents tend to recognise one another, and unusual visitors or behaviour are easier to spot. Always review the latest police and URA planning updates if safety is a key concern.

Location & Everyday Connectivity

Aston Lodge sits in Lorong 8 Geylang, off Geylang Road and close to the Paya Lebar and Kallang areas in District 14.[2][3] This is part of the Rest of Central Region (RCR), placing you on the fringe of the CBD rather than in outlying suburbs.

Nearest MRT and Bus Connectivity

From the Lorong 8 stretch, the nearest MRT choices are usually:

Aljunied MRT (EWL) – roughly 8–10 minutes’ walk depending on your pace
Kallang MRT (EWL) – within a short bus ride along Geylang Road
Paya Lebar MRT (EWL/CCL) – a few bus stops away, giving dual-line connectivity

Bus routes along Geylang Road and Sims Avenue provide quick access to the CBD, Bugis, City Hall and Marina Bay within 15–25 minutes in off-peak conditions. LTA’s bus and train maps can be consulted for the latest route and timing information.
