Chestervale Unit Types and Size Guide for Buyers: Quick Overview
If you are evaluating Chestervale unit types and sizes before you buy, you are mainly looking at spacious family-sized 3-bedroom and large 4–5 bedroom layouts ranging from about 1,259 sqft to 2,583 sqft, with most buyers choosing 3-bedders for their balance of price, space, and future resale demand.[2][3] These generous sizes stand out versus many newer Singapore condo for sale options in D23 and make Chestervale particularly attractive for family living and long-term property investment in Bukit Panjang and Bukit Batok.[2][4]
This unit-size guide is a focused companion to Homejourney’s main Chestervale pillar article – Chestervale Complete Guide: D23 Singapore Condo | Homejourney . Here, we dive deeper into unit mix, sizes, layout considerations and buying strategies so you can confidently shortlist the right Chestervale for sale unit type for your needs.
Project & Unit Mix at Chestervale on Bangkit Road
Chestervale is a 99-year leasehold executive condominium at 31–43 Bangkit Road, District 23 (Bukit Panjang, near Bukit Batok), developed by CapitaLand Residential via ST Chestervale Pte Ltd and completed around 1999 (lease from 1997).[1][2][3] The development comprises 7 residential blocks of 19 storeys, with a total of 396 units on a sizeable 235,569 sqft site.[1][2][3] This translates into a relatively low-density feel compared to some newer ECs and condos.
Official and market data indicate that Chestervale’s unit mix focuses on larger formats rather than compact units:[2][3]
- 3-bedroom units – the majority of the development; generally 3-bed, 3-bath.
- 4 to 5-bedroom / jumbo units – rare, large-format family units that can feel like landed-style living in an apartment stack, often listed as 5-bed, 5-bath around 2,583 sqft.[3]
According to project data, the typical internal sizes are:[3]
- 3-bedroom units: approx. 1,259 – 1,550 sqft.
- 5-bedroom units: approx. 2,583 sqft.
Floor plan references from public project guides confirm that these are full-sized family apartments rather than compact layouts.[3][9] For buyers used to newer launches with many units under 900 sqft, Chestervale’s scale will feel notably more generous.
Chestervale Unit Types and Size Guide (Buyer-Focused)
From the perspective of a buyer who has walked multiple stacks at Chestervale and seen how different facing, floor levels and layouts feel in real life, here is how the main unit types typically stack up in terms of size and suitability.
3-Bedroom Units (Approx. 1,259 – 1,550 sqft)
For most families and first-time buyers looking to buy condo in D23, the 3-bedroom units at Chestervale are the sweet spot.[2][3]
- Size: Around 1,259–1,550 sqft – significantly larger than many newer mass-market 3-bedders.
- Layout: Typically squarish living/dining hall, enclosed kitchen with yard, household shelter, and good-sized bedrooms. Many layouts can comfortably fit a queen bed in all rooms.
- Family feel: On-site observations and resident feedback indicate that the living areas feel particularly wide, with enough space for both a dining table and a study corner – useful for families with school-going children.
- Ideal for: First-time buyers, young families upgrading from a 4-room HDB, or investors targeting family tenants.
Many buyers also value certain stacks that face the internal pool or the park across Bangkit Road – these are perceived as quieter and breezier, especially on mid to high floors. When I’ve visited in the late afternoon, you can feel the difference in wind flow between inner and outer-facing stacks, so do a physical viewing around 4–5 pm if possible.
Large 4–5 Bedroom / Jumbo Units (Approx. 2,583 sqft)
Chestervale’s 5-bedroom units, around 2,583 sqft, are a rarity in the current market.[3] These units can feel almost like a maisonette or landed-home alternative, especially on higher floors.
- Size: Around 2,583 sqft – among the larger apartment formats available in Bukit Panjang.
- Configuration: Typically 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms according to project data.[3] Great for multi-generational families.
- Use cases: Multi-gen living (parents + children + grandparents), home office setup, or combining a home business with residential use (subject to URA regulations).
- Rarity: Very limited supply – these units are not always available, and when they appear on the market, they tend to attract serious interest from upgraders seeking long-term homes.
If you are an upgrader from a landed property in Bukit Batok or Bukit Panjang wanting lower maintenance but no compromise on space, these larger Chestervale units can be a very practical option.
Typical Price Ranges & PSF for Chestervale (2026)
Homejourney’s analysis of URA transaction data shows that Chestervale has historically traded below prime central condos but has seen healthy appreciation as D23 matures.[2][4] Based on 2024–2025 transactions and current 2026 sentiment:
- Recent average PSF for Chestervale is in the ~S$1,000–1,050 psf range from URA data.[4]
- Some transaction analytics and asking ranges suggest that spacious units may aim for higher values as the market strengthens.[2][6]
For buyers, a practical working expectation in 2026 is:
- 3-bedroom (≈1,250–1,550 sqft): around S$1.3M – S$1.6M, depending on floor, condition, facing and renovation (rough guide, not an offer).
- Large 5-bedroom (≈2,583 sqft): around S$2.3M – S$2.8M or more, reflecting rare size and multi-gen appeal.
Important disclaimer: These are indicative estimates based on URA caveats and market observations. Actual prices vary by unit condition, stack, facing and negotiation. Always verify latest transactions on URA and through Homejourney’s project insights before making any commitment.

Which Chestervale Unit Type Fits Your Buyer Profile?
When shortlisting available units at Chestervale, match your profile and goals to the right size and layout rather than just chasing the lowest PSF.
1. First-Time Home Buyers in D23
If you are a first-time buyer looking around Bukit Panjang / Bukit Batok and comparing between HDB upgraders’ options and D23 properties:
- Recommended unit type: 3-bedroom (≈1,259–1,400 sqft).
- Why: More than enough space for a young family, room for WFH setups, and strong resale appeal to the next batch of family buyers.
- Insider tip: Shortlist mid-floor pool-facing or park-facing stacks if you want a quieter ambience; units closer to the LRT can be slightly noisier during peak hours, but more convenient.
2. Upgraders & Multi-Generational Families
For those upgrading from HDB executive flats or terrace houses in the Bukit Panjang / Choa Chu Kang belt, Chestervale’s jumbo-sized units are particularly compelling.
