Beau Vista is a rare, boutique freehold landed development along Jalan Kembangan in Singapore District 14, offering just six terrace homes in a low-density residential enclave near Kembangan MRT and the Geylang–Paya Lebar fringe.[4][3][7] For buyers who value privacy, freehold tenure, and convenient access to both the city and East Coast lifestyle, Beau Vista presents a niche but compelling option.
As someone who has walked this stretch of Jalan Kembangan many times—both during weekday mornings when residents stroll to the MRT and on quieter Sunday afternoons—the feel here is distinctly residential, with a mix of older landed houses, small boutique projects, and neighbourhood eateries that long-time residents know by name. This guide brings together on-the-ground observations, verified data, and Homejourney’s market analysis to help you decide if Beau Vista fits your buying or investment goals.

1. Beau Vista Project Overview
1.1 Key facts at a glance
Beau Vista is a very small-scale landed housing project, not a typical high-rise Singapore condo. It is made up of terrace houses in a strata-style/landed configuration along Jalan Kembangan in District 14.[1][3] Homejourney’s project database summarises the core attributes as follows:[4]
With only six houses and a maximum building height of about one storey (with possible attic/roof features depending on the specific house), Beau Vista is considerably more private and low-rise than even many other landed clusters nearby.[7]
1.2 District 14: Geylang, Paya Lebar & Kembangan context
District 14 stretches from city-fringe Geylang and Paya Lebar to more residential pockets like Kembangan and Kaki Bukit.[8] Parts of D14 near Paya Lebar and Geylang are classified under the Rest of Central Region (RCR), while Kembangan tends to sit in the Outside Central Region (OCR) band.[8] This split matters because pricing and buyer profiles differ:
- Geylang / Paya Lebar: denser, more mixed-use, higher rental activity, and benefitting from URA’s Paya Lebar Central transformation.
- Kembangan: quieter, more landed and low-rise, with a more pronounced family and owner-occupier profile, yet still within a short MRT ride of Paya Lebar and the CBD.
Beau Vista sits firmly in the Kembangan landed belt, a few minutes’ walk from Kembangan MRT, making it attractive to buyers who want a freehold landed feel without giving up MRT connectivity.
1.3 Homejourney-verified project information
Homejourney cross-checks Beau Vista’s core data against URA, developer submissions, and internal project records to minimise errors. For unit counts, tenure and completion period, we rely on URA’s project records and our own Projects database, which align on Beau Vista’s freehold status, small scale (6 units) and late-2000s completion.[4][3] Buyers should still verify exact built-up areas and any renovations with a professional valuer or through the latest URA caveats.
2. Unit Types, Sizes & Layout Insights
2.1 Unit mix and estimated sizes
Unlike a typical Singapore condo, Beau Vista does not offer a spread of 1- to 4-bedroom apartment types. Instead, it comprises landed terrace-style homes. Public records and landed listings in this enclave suggest most units are configured as multi-storey family homes, likely 3–5 bedrooms, with built-up areas in the approximate 2,000–3,000 sq ft range.[1][3] Exact internal layouts and sizes vary by unit and any later renovations.
Because there are only six houses, each home is more akin to an individual landed property purchase than a choice among dozens of stack layouts. From a practical perspective, buyers typically evaluate:
- Land size (for future rebuilding or extension, subject to URA and BCA rules)
- Built-up area and current interior configuration (number of bedrooms, study rooms, helper’s room)
- Parking capability (usually car porch space)
- Orientation (afternoon sun, road noise from Jalan Kembangan, privacy from neighbours)
2.2 Typical layout characteristics
From first-hand visits to similar late-2000s terrace houses in this Kembangan–Telok Kurau belt, you can generally expect:
- Ground floor: car porch, living/dining area, common bathroom, kitchen, and sometimes a guest/ granny room.
- Upper floors: 3–4 bedrooms, usually with at least one en-suite bathroom, and a family/TV area.
- Roof/attic: in some units, an attic or roof terrace that can be used as a home office, entertainment room, or additional bedroom (subject to approved plans).
If you are used to condo living, note that internal staircases and vertical circulation become more important day-to-day. Multi-generational families should consider if elderly members are comfortable with stairs or whether a bedroom on the ground level is needed.
2.3 Smart home features & renovation potential
Beau Vista predates the current wave of integrated smart-home packages, so there is no standardised smart-home system built-in. Any smart features (digital locks, CCTV, Wi‑Fi-enabled lighting, solar panels) depend on individual owners’ renovations.
The upside is flexibility: freehold landed homes like these can often be retrofitted extensively—subject to URA planning parameters, building setback rules and structural constraints—allowing you to customise:
- Open-plan kitchen and living areas
- Dedicated home office spaces
- Multi-generational layouts with ensuite rooms on lower floors
- Improved natural light through skylights or glass panels (where feasible)
Before major works, always consult a Qualified Person (architect or engineer) and check URA and BCA regulations to ensure compliance.
3. Facilities, Security & Estate Features
3.1 Estate scale and communal facilities
Because Beau Vista is a tiny enclave of six landed houses, it does not offer the full condo-style facilities such as swimming pool, gym, tennis court or clubhouse that you might see in larger District 14 projects.[1][3] Instead, it behaves more like an individual landed street, where each house is largely self-contained.
In practical terms:
- No common pool or gym – residents typically rely on nearby public pools (e.g., Bedok or Tampines) or private gyms in malls.
- No central clubhouse or function room – larger gatherings are usually hosted within the home itself or at nearby cafes/restaurants.
- No shared playground – families often use nearby neighbourhood playgrounds or East Coast Park for outdoor play.
This trade-off is common in boutique landed clusters: you gain more privacy and control over your property but trade away shared lifestyle facilities and economies of scale in maintenance.
3.2 Security considerations
Beau Vista is along a relatively quiet stretch of Jalan Kembangan where traffic is mostly local access, with residents, delivery vehicles and occasional through-traffic. There is no large guarded entrance like a big condo development, so typical security features include:
- Individual gate and door locks, sometimes upgraded to digital systems by owners.
- Optional home CCTV and alarm systems, often retrofitted.
- Neighbourhood watch: in small landed clusters, residents often know one another by sight, which adds an informal layer of security.
Singapore remains a generally safe city by global standards, but Homejourney encourages buyers to treat home security seriously, especially for ground-floor landed homes—investing in reliable locks, lighting and, where desired, CCTV.
3.3 Car park and vehicle access
Each Beau Vista unit typically comes with its own car porch space, accommodating at least one car (sometimes two, depending on frontage and configuration). Street parking along smaller roads branching off Jalan Kembangan may be possible where allowed by LTA and URA, but you should not assume guaranteed extra street parking for visitors—always check local parking signs and HDB season parking options if needed.
4. Location, Connectivity & District 14 Context
4.1 Exact location and surroundings
Beau Vista is located at 115B Jalan Kembangan, in the Kembangan sub-zone of District 14.[4][3] The immediate surroundings are mainly landed and low-rise residential with pockets of eateries and small shops. From personal experience walking the area, the ambience is:
- Quiet on weekday mornings, with light traffic mainly during school and work commute periods.
- More activity around prayer times and weekends near nearby places of worship, eateries and coffee shops.
- Leafy side streets with a mix of older terraces and newer boutique landed projects.
4.2 MRT access and walking distance
One of Beau Vista’s strongest functional advantages is its proximity to Kembangan MRT Station on the East–West Line. Public mapping and building data indicate that the nearest Beau Vista block (e.g., 115E Jalan Kembangan) is roughly 480–500 metres from Kembangan MRT, which translates to about a 6–8 minute walk at a normal pace.[7] Typical walking route:
- Exit Kembangan MRT (usually Exit A).
- Walk along Sims Avenue East / Jalan Kembangan, following the main road.
- Turn into the Beau Vista stretch along Jalan Kembangan where the landed homes are located.
From Kembangan MRT:
- To Paya Lebar: 3–4 stops away, depending on route (via Eunos and Paya Lebar).
- To City Hall / Raffles Place: roughly 15–20 minutes of train travel.
- To Changi Airport: change at Tanah Merah, with total travel time around 25–30 minutes.
4.3 Bus routes and public transport connectivity
The Jalan Kembangan corridor is served by several bus routes running along Sims Avenue East and Changi Road, linking to Eunos, Bedok, Marine Parade and the city. Exact bus services may change over time; always check LTA’s MyTransport app or official bus operator websites for the latest routes and timetables.
4.4 Major expressways and driving times
Kembangan enjoys relatively easy access to key expressways:
- PIE (Pan-Island Expressway): reachable via Jalan Eunos or Changi Road, connecting westwards towards Paya Lebar, Toa Payoh and Jurong.
- ECP (East Coast Parkway): accessible via Still Road or Bedok South, useful for reaching the CBD, Suntec and Changi Airport.
- KPE (Kallang–Paya Lebar Expressway): accessible near Paya Lebar / Kallang, offering a route towards the north-east (e.g., Sengkang, Punggol).
In off-peak traffic, approximate driving times from Beau Vista are:
- To Raffles Place / CBD: around 15–20 minutes via ECP.
- To Changi Airport: about 15–20 minutes via ECP.
- To Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ): about 8–10 minutes.
4.5 District 14 advantages
District 14, especially around Paya Lebar and the Geylang–Kembangan corridor, offers a blend of city-fringe convenience and relatively more affordable pricing compared with core central districts.[8] Key advantages for Beau Vista’s location include:
- Freehold landed in a city-fringe district – a combination that is increasingly scarce, especially near an MRT station.
- Proximity to Paya Lebar Business Hub – PLQ and nearby offices provide a tenant base and amenities.
- Access to East Coast lifestyle – a short drive or a few bus stops to East Coast Park, Katong eateries and coastal recreation.
5. Nearby Amenities: Schools, Food, Shopping & Healthcare
5.1 Everyday shopping and supermarkets
Beau Vista residents typically rely on a combination of neighbourhood shops and nearby malls:
- Neighbourhood conveniences: minimarts, bakeries, clinics and eateries clustered around Kembangan MRT and along Changi Road.
- Eunos / Bedok: short train or bus ride to larger supermarkets and heartland malls.
- Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ), Paya Lebar Square, SingPost Centre: one major node away, offering full-scale supermarkets, F&B chains, retail and services.
From personal visits, many residents also frequent Katong and Joo Chiat for cafes, specialty grocers and lifestyle shops, reachable in about 10 minutes by car.
5.2 Hawker centres & local dining
District 14 is well-known for its food options. Around Kembangan and the wider D14 belt, you will find:
- Kembangan / Changi Road eateries: local coffee shops, prata shops and mixed rice stalls within walking distance.
- Eunos Crescent Market and Food Centre: a quick train/bus ride away, with hawker favourites.
- Geylang & Paya Lebar: plentiful zi char, late-night eateries, and specialty cuisines.
- Joo Chiat / Katong: Peranakan food, cafes, bars and dessert shops, popular for weekend brunch.
Insider tip: Residents often mention that the eateries along Changi Road and the side streets near Kembangan MRT give you the convenience of “downstairs food” without the intensity of Geylang’s late-night crowd.
5.3 Schools within reach
The exact 1 km and 2 km primary school priority admission distances should always be checked against MOE’s official SchoolFinder and the latest school distance data, as boundaries may change. However, in the broader Kembangan–Eunos–Bedok area, families commonly look at:
- Primary schools in the Eunos / Bedok / Kembangan belt (check official MOE site for up-to-date distance and eligibility).
- Secondary schools reachable via a few MRT stops in the East–West corridor.
- International schools closer to East Coast / Katong and along the East Coast Parkway corridor.
Because Beau Vista is freehold landed rather than an HDB address, there is no difference to MOE’s distance calculations; they are based strictly on distance, not property type.
5.4 Healthcare facilities
For everyday healthcare, residents use nearby:
- GP clinics and dental clinics along Changi Road and around Kembangan MRT.
- Polyclinics in Bedok or Eunos (short bus or MRT rides).
- Larger hospitals such as Parkway East Hospital (Joo Chiat Place area) or Changi General Hospital (Bedok / Simei corridor), which are accessible by car or public transport.
5.5 Parks and recreation
One of the big draws of living in the East is recreational access:
- Park connectors: Kembangan is near park connectors that lead towards East Coast Park and Bedok Reservoir, popular with cyclists and joggers.
- East Coast Park: a short drive away, for cycling, barbecues, walks and seaside dining.
- Neighbourhood parks and playgrounds: peppered through the landed and HDB estates within a few minutes’ walk or cycle.
6. Price & Rental Analysis (2026)
Important disclaimer: All price ranges and yield estimates in this section are indicative, based on URA caveat data, Homejourney’s Projects Directory analysis and typical District 14 landed market behaviour as of 2026. They are not valuation advice. Always refer to the latest URA caveats, engage a professional valuer, and consult your banker or financial advisor before committing.
6.1 Current price range (PSF and quantum)
Beau Vista transaction volumes are very low due to its small scale (only six units), so price discovery depends on sparse URA caveats and comparison with similarly aged freehold terraces along Jalan Kembangan and nearby streets.[1][4] As of early 2026, Homejourney’s analysis suggests that:
- Freehold terraces in the Kembangan landed belt generally transact at a PSF-on-land in the low-to-mid range of broader District 14 landed prices, reflecting OCR classification yet city-fringe location.
- Typical absolute quantum for a freehold terrace in this corridor is in the several-million-dollar range, depending heavily on land size, condition and renovations.
To understand the latest numbers for Beau Vista specifically, you can view comprehensive analysis of Beau Vista via Projects or directly through Homejourney’s Beau Vista project page Projects Directory , where we aggregate recent transactions and price trends.[4]
6.2 Historical price trends
Given the small number of units, Beau Vista’s individual transactions may appear sporadic, with years between sales. However, the broader District 14 landed market (particularly in Kembangan and nearby areas) has historically:
- Benefitted from general freehold landed scarcity across Singapore.
- Risen in tandem with East Coast and Paya Lebar’s transformation, particularly after URA’s Paya Lebar Central development plans.[8]
- Shown resilience during market slowdowns because of limited supply and owner-occupier demand.
Homejourney’s internal analysis of URA data shows that freehold landed properties in the East have seen steady long-term appreciation, though year-to-year fluctuations can be significant for any single project due to low transaction volumes.
6.3 Comparison with nearby developments
When evaluating Beau Vista’s pricing, it is useful to compare against:
- Other landed terraces along Jalan Kembangan: similar land sizes and ages offer the closest benchmark.
- Newer freehold landed in neighbouring pockets: may command a premium due to newer build, but with higher absolute quantum.
- Condo alternatives near Kembangan MRT: offer facilities and lower maintenance but with strata living and usually smaller internal space for the same budget.
Think of Beau Vista not as a mass-market condo but as an entry point to freehold landed living near MRT in D14. For some buyers, that trade-off justifies a higher quantum than a typical condo but lower than larger or newer landed houses in more central districts.
6.4 Rental yield estimates
Because Beau Vista is primarily an owner-occupier style landed estate, rental listings are infrequent. That said, landed houses in the Kembangan–Jalan Kembangan vicinity generally attract:
- Families who value space and proximity to East Coast.
- Expat tenants who prefer landed houses but want to be near Paya Lebar, the CBD or Changi Business Park.
Indicative gross rental yields for freehold landed in the East often sit below those of smaller, mass-market condos—reflecting higher purchase prices versus rent—but can still be attractive for long-term investors focusing on capital preservation and appreciation rather than pure yield.
To estimate your own affordability and potential monthly mortgage outlay for a Beau Vista purchase, you can use Homejourney’s mortgage calculator at Bank Rates and compare bank packages safely in one place.
7. Pros & Cons of Beau Vista
7.1 Quick overview table
7.2 Strengths in more detail
- Freehold in D14, near MRT – This combination is increasingly rare as new supply trends towards leasehold strata projects.
- Landed space with urban connectivity – Multi-level terraces give substantial internal space, yet you are under 10 minutes’ walk from Kembangan MRT.
- Quiet residential environment – Jalan Kembangan is noticeably calmer than inner Geylang roads, with a more family-focused feel.
- Customisation potential – As a landed property, Beau Vista homes allow for more extensive renovations than typical condos, within URA/BCA rules.
7.3 Considerations and trade-offs
- No condo facilities – If you prioritise pools, gyms and tennis courts, Beau Vista will not meet that lifestyle need.
- Maintenance responsibilities – Landed owners are more hands-on: from facade upkeep to internal systems (aircon, roofing, plumbing). Homejourney can connect you to reliable service providers, including Aircon Services for regular servicing.
- Older build age – Completed around 2008–2010, some units may require updating to modern interior standards, which adds renovation cost.
- Staircases – Multi-storey living may be inconvenient for seniors or those with mobility issues.
8. Investment Potential & Future Upside
8.1 Capital appreciation outlook
From an investment lens, Beau Vista is best viewed as a long-term, capital-preservation and growth asset rather than a short-term trading play. Key factors supporting appreciation potential include:
- Freehold landed scarcity – URA’s land supply for new landed homes is limited; existing freehold terraces in established neighbourhoods tend to hold value over time.
- East-side transformation – Ongoing development in Paya Lebar, Geylang rejuvenation plans, and East Coast improvements provide a positive macro backdrop.[8]Straits Times Housing News
- Desirability of Kembangan corridor – Many local families deliberately choose this belt for its residential feel, MRT access and East Coast lifestyle connectivity.
However, individual unit performance will depend on purchase price, specific land size, facing, and quality of renovations.
8.2 Rental demand profile
Landed rentals in Kembangan tend to attract a smaller pool of tenants than mass-market condos, but those who rent landed units often stay longer and value privacy and space. Potential tenant segments include:
- Expatriate families who prefer landed living but want to remain within reasonable commuting distance of the CBD or Changi Business Park.
- Local families renovating their own homes in the East and needing interim accommodation.
Given the higher purchase price of landed homes, rental yields are typically lower than for small RCR/OCR condos, but this is balanced by freehold tenure and capital upside.
8.3 Future developments and planning considerations
URA’s Master Plan regularly updates zoning and plot ratios for various sub-zones across District 14. Kembangan’s landed areas are generally safeguarded as low-rise residential, which helps maintain the neighbourhood character but also limits major redevelopment potential.Business Times Property
For investors, this suggests:
- Lower risk of a high-rise tower suddenly appearing directly adjacent to Beau Vista, preserving privacy.
- Less likelihood of en bloc scenarios compared with older walk-up apartments or large strata developments.
Always refer to the latest URA Master Plan maps and speak with a planning consultant if you need a precise understanding of surrounding plots.
9. Who Is Beau Vista Best Suited For?
9.1 Ideal buyer profiles
Based on location, product type and pricing, Beau Vista tends to suit:
- Upgraders from HDB or condos who want to move into freehold landed but still need MRT access.
- Multi-generational families who appreciate multi-level layouts and the ability to configure separate yet connected living zones.
