Project Overview: Gerald Residence at Gerald Terrace
Gerald Residence (also commonly referred to as Gerald Residences in older documents) is a landed housing development located along Gerald Terrace, within the Seletar–Yio Chu Kang enclave of District 28.[1] It sits in a tranquil, low-rise mixed-landed neighbourhood, just off Yio Chu Kang Road and a short drive from The Seletar Mall and Greenwich V.[1] As someone who frequently views houses in this estate, the immediate impression is a very residential, family-centric pocket with minimal through-traffic.
Key project facts (2025):
- Development type: Landed terrace houses (no high-rise blocks)[1]
- Tenure: 999-year leasehold from 1879 (effectively close to freehold for most buyers)[1][6]
- District: D28 – Seletar / Yio Chu Kang[1]
- Estimated TOP / completion: Around 2001[1]
- Total units: About 30 landed units within the estate[1]
- Primary address cluster: Gerald Crescent / Gerald Terrace area in Seletar[1][6]
Homejourney’s Projects Directory and the dedicated Gerald Residence project page Projects Directory draw on URA Realis and official records to keep key data points (e.g. completion, tenure, sizes and transactions) verified and updated.
Gerald Residence Unit Types & Floor Plan Basics
Unlike large condominiums with dozens of layouts, Gerald Residence focuses mainly on terrace-house configurations with relatively consistent land sizes but varied built-up areas. URA caveats and project data indicate typical land sizes around 1,615–2,164 sq ft with larger corner or special units going beyond 3,400 sq ft built-up area.[1][6]
Typical Unit Sizes and Storeys
From on-the-ground viewing experience in this estate and corroborated size ranges:[1][3][6]
- Standard inter-terrace
Approx. land: 1,615–1,636 sq ft (about 150–152 sqm)[1]
Built-up: typically ~2,700–3,000 sq ft spread over 3 storeys (estimate based on marketing materials and actual listings in the area)[3] - Larger inter- or corner units
Approx. land: 2,099–2,164 sq ft (195–201 sqm)[1]
Built-up: commonly >3,000 sq ft, sometimes up to ~3,700 sq ft for the largest units[1][3] - Largest layouts
Built-up: around 3,412–3,714 sq ft as reflected in project size bands[1]
These homes are typically configured as 3-storey terraces with 4 to 5 bedrooms, including a granny or guest room on the ground floor, plus family/study space on the upper levels. Having walked several similar landed homes in Gerald and nearby lanes, families often convert one upper-level common room into a study or playroom, depending on life stage.
Typical Gerald Residence Floor Plan Layout
While exact floor plans vary slightly between units, a common layout pattern looks like this (note: floor plan specifics should always be verified against the actual unit or official documents):
- Ground floor
• Covered car porch for 1–2 cars (depending on driveway depth)
• Terrace / small garden setback
• Living and dining spaces, often in a long rectangular configuration
• Enclosed or semi-open kitchen at the rear
• Utility room / yard and WC
• Guest/granny room with attached or adjacent bathroom - Second floor
• Master bedroom with attached bathroom and wardrobe space
• 1–2 common bedrooms sharing a common bathroom
• Some layouts include a family area at the stair landing - Third floor / attic level
• 1–2 additional rooms (often used as bedrooms, study or entertainment room)
• Roof terrace or balcony (varies by unit)
• Possibility of additional bathroom
Insider tip: In older landed estates like Gerald Residence, many owners have carried out renovations such as adding built-in storage, reconfiguring kitchens, or enclosing open terraces. Always check approved floor plans from URA or your lawyer and compare them with the current as-built condition before committing to a purchase.
Bedroom Mix and Functional Use
For family profiles typically seen in Seletar landed estates:
- 4-bedroom layouts work well for families with 2–3 children plus a helper, where the ground-floor room is used by parents or elderly grandparents who prefer to avoid stairs.
- 5-bedroom layouts give more flexibility for multigenerational families or owners who work from home and need a dedicated study or home office.
- Larger units (>3,200 sq ft built-up) are often reconfigured into 4 bedrooms + 2 study/entertainment rooms, which can command a rental premium if positioned as a multi-generational or co-living-friendly layout (subject to URA and URA-Residential guidelines).

Facilities and On-Site Amenities at Gerald Residence
Because Gerald Residence is a landed terrace estate and not a full condominium, facilities are more limited and focused on privacy and space rather than resort-style common areas.[1] From on-site observations and public project information, you should expect the following:
What Facilities to Expect
- Private car porch for each unit, typically accommodating 1–2 cars depending on how far back you park.
- Gated estate entrances and low-traffic internal roads, contributing to a quieter, safer environment for children to cycle or play under supervision.
- Basic landscaping along the street and around houses, rather than manicured condo gardens.
Unlike larger condominiums, Gerald Residence does not typically provide:
- Central swimming pool with clubhouse
- On-site gym or tennis court
- Concierge services
This configuration is typical for older landed clusters in D28: residents trade shared facilities for larger private interiors and land. For buyers who value privacy and bigger built-up spaces more than condo-style pools and gyms, this is often a worthwhile trade-off.
Security Features and Estate Safety
Security in landed estates like Gerald Residence is usually community-driven rather than managed by 24-hour condo guards. You can expect:
- Natural surveillance from residents due to low traffic and neighbourhood familiarity.
- Many owners install CCTV, alarm systems and digital locks at individual unit level for enhanced safety (personal observation from multiple D28 viewings).
- Street lighting and regular patrols under the broader public estate infrastructure.
Homejourney emphasises verified listings and clear disclosure of unit conditions so buyers can prioritise safety and security. During viewings, ask directly about installed security systems and any prior upgrades.
Parking and Vehicle Access
Each terrace typically has its own car porch, which is a key advantage compared to many strata-landed or cluster homes that share basement parking. Access is via Gerald Terrace, linking out to Yio Chu Kang Road and then to CTE/ TPE and SLE. For larger households with multiple drivers, check if kerbside parking norms along the lane are acceptable and in line with LTA regulations.
