Cherryhill is a freehold Singapore condo along Lorong Lew Lian in District 19, near Serangoon MRT and NEX, with spacious family-sized units and full facilities. For buyers and investors who prioritise long-term value, everyday convenience and a trusted, well-connected neighbourhood, Cherryhill is one of the more under-the-radar gems in Serangoon/Hougang.
In this Homejourney guide, we combine verified data from URA and official sources with on-the-ground experience in D19 to help you decide if Cherryhill fits your buying or investment strategy. You will find detailed information on layouts, prices, amenities, capital growth potential and practical tips for families, landlords and tenants.
Executive Summary: Why Cherryhill Matters in District 19
Cherryhill is a low-density, freehold condominium completed in 1994, located at Lorong Lew Lian in D19 (Serangoon/Hougang). It offers mostly 2- to 4-bedroom units with generous sizes compared to many newer launches, full facilities including pool, tennis and squash courts, and is within walking distance of Serangoon MRT (North-East and Circle Lines) and NEX mega mall.[1][3]
From a Homejourney perspective, Cherryhill stands out for three reasons:
- Freehold tenure in a mature, well-connected D19 enclave – rare long-term land value supported by strong rental and resale demand.[1][3]
- Spacious family layouts – larger than average 2–4 bedders that appeal to owner-occupiers and long-stay tenants.[1][4][5]
- Everyday convenience and liveability – walkable access to NEX, Serangoon MRT, schools, eateries and parks, with strong neighbourhood familiarity for many locals.[3]
At the same time, as an older 1990s development, buyers need to weigh trade-offs such as older façade, higher maintenance for some units, and potential renovation costs. Homejourney’s goal is to help you assess Cherryhill with clear facts and transparent analysis – and to ensure you can buy, sell or rent safely and confidently.

1. Cherryhill Project Overview
1.1 Key Project Facts at a Glance
Data note: Different commercial databases report 104 vs 163 units for Cherryhill.[1][4][5][6] Based on multiple corroborating sources listing 5 blocks and 163 units[4][5][6], Homejourney treats ~163 units as the more accurate estimate, but always recommends verifying the exact figure with URA’s developer records or the latest strata roll.
1.2 District 19 Context: Serangoon & Hougang
Cherryhill sits on the Serangoon side of D19, surrounded by Serangoon Central, Upper Serangoon, and the Bartley/Braddell neighbourhoods.[3] D19 encompasses Hougang, Punggol, Sengkang and Serangoon Gardens – largely residential estates with strong heartland amenities and improving transport connectivity.[3]
Key D19 characteristics relevant to Cherryhill:
- Strong HDB heartland base – Hougang and Serangoon estates generate steady upgrader and tenant demand.
- Transport connectivity – Access to CTE, KPE, PIE as well as NE and CC MRT lines from Serangoon.[3]
- Retail & lifestyle – NEX at Serangoon is one of the largest heartland malls in Singapore, with supermarkets, cinema, F&B and community services.
- Schools cluster – Notable schools such as Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ School, Maris Stella High, St Gabriel’s, Nanyang Junior College are all within a short drive or a few bus stops.[2][3]
From living experience, the Serangoon Central area is very walkable. In the evenings, you will see families walking from Lorong Lew Lian towards NEX and Serangoon MRT for dinner, groceries, or enrichment classes – a good indicator of perceived safety and convenience.
1.3 Developer Profile: Wing Tai Holdings
Cherryhill was developed by Wing Tai Holdings, a well-established regional developer founded in 1955 and incorporated in Singapore in 1963.[1] Wing Tai has developed several well-known residential projects island-wide and has a reputation for generally solid build quality and long-term estate upkeep.
For safety and assurance, buying from a recognised developer matters because estate defects, sinking fund management and long-term maintenance standards are typically more established. That said, Cherryhill’s MCST and current management council ultimately drive present-day upkeep, so buyers should visually inspect common areas and review AGM minutes where possible.
2. Unit Types, Sizes and Layout Insights
2.1 Official Unit Mix & Size Ranges
Unit information compiled from multiple sources indicates that Cherryhill offers predominantly 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom units, with sizeable floor areas typical of 1990s freehold condos.[1][3][4][5][6]
One recent 2025 resale example recorded a 3-bedroom, 1,453 sq ft unit transacting at S$2.45M (~S$1,686 psf), indicating that the most common family-sized units are in the mid-1,200 to mid-1,400 sq ft range.[7]
Disclaimer: Exact sizes vary by stack and level. Buyers should always cross-check floor areas against the strata title and URA records, and request the unit’s floor plan before committing.
2.2 Layout Highlights: How It Feels to Live in Cherryhill
As someone familiar with 1990s D19 condos, Cherryhill’s layouts feel noticeably more generous than many post-2010 launches. Corridors are wider, rooms are generally squarish, and even 2-bedders can comfortably fit a queen bed plus wardrobe and side tables.
Typical layout strengths:
- Enclosed kitchens and yard – practical for Asian cooking, easier to manage grease and smells.
- Good cross-ventilation – many stacks have windows on multiple sides, giving natural airflow, especially on higher floors.
- Service yard and utility/maid’s room – an underrated plus for families with a helper, storage needs, or work-from-home options.
- Separate living and dining zones – instead of compressed combined spaces, which makes gatherings more comfortable.
Things to watch out for:
- Some units have bay windows and planters (a 1990s/2000s design trend), which count towards strata area but may feel less usable.
- The original bathrooms and kitchens in unrenovated units may look dated and require full upgrading.
- Depending on stack and facing, low-floor units can have some road noise from Upper Serangoon Road during peak hours.
2.3 Smart Home Features & Modern Upgrades
As a 1994 development, Cherryhill was not designed with integrated smart home systems. Any smart features (digital locks, app-based lighting or aircon control) would be retrofits by individual owners rather than estate-wide systems.
From on-the-ground observation and typical renovation patterns in similar D19 freehold estates, many Cherryhill owners have in recent years upgraded:
- Wireless-enabled aircon systems and smart thermostats.
- Smart locks at the main door for keyless entry.
- Wi-Fi mesh systems to cover larger unit footprints.
If you plan to invest in a unit and rent it out, smart features can be a plus for younger tenants, but should not replace fundamentals like proper aircon maintenance. Homejourney partners with vetted service providers for regular servicing – you can explore options via Aircon Services .
3. Facilities, Security and Estate Environment
3.1 Full Facilities at Cherryhill
Cherryhill offers a comprehensive set of condo facilities that are competitive with many newer D19 projects.[1][2]
- Swimming pool
- Wading pool (for children)
- Tennis courts
- Squash court
- Putting green
- BBQ area
- Playground
- Covered carpark
- 24-hour security and guarded entrance[1][2]
Compared to some compact new launches, having both tennis and squash courts plus a putting green is a strong plus for active families. Weekend mornings typically see residents using the courts and pool, and the playground is reasonably shaded in parts of the day, making it usable for younger children.
3.2 Security and Safety Considerations
Cherryhill provides 24-hour security within the compound, including guarded entry points and likely CCTV coverage in key common areas.[1][2] As with any condo, the exact deployment of cameras and patrols may evolve with MCST decisions.
From a user-safety standpoint, Homejourney recommends:
- During viewing, observe access control at the side gates and carpark – are visitors entering freely or properly registered?
- Ask the agent or MCST about any recent security incidents or upgrades (e.g., new CCTV, improved lighting).
- Walk the grounds at night to gauge lighting levels in corridors, carparks and paths to the side gates.
Homejourney prioritises user safety by encouraging transparent disclosure. If you engage an agent via Homejourney, you can request them to highlight any known safety-related issues or MCST discussions for Cherryhill.
3.3 Carpark Provisions
Cherryhill has a covered carpark for residents, protecting vehicles from sun and rain, with direct access to lift lobbies.[1][2] Exact lot allocation (1:1 vs shared) and visitor parking policies should be confirmed with the MCST or reviewing the house rules when you shortlist a unit.
