Project Snapshot: What Kind of Homes Are at Charlton Residences?
Charlton Residences is a freehold strata-landed development of just 21 terrace units in District 19, tucked off Upper Serangoon Road along the quiet landed stretch of Charlton Road.[5] Each home is configured as a multi-storey terrace with private parking, internal lift in most units (based on the original brochure), and shared facilities including a pool and steam room.[1][5]
According to the original marketing brochure and URA-compliant strata landed guidelines, the development offers generously sized 5–6 bedroom layouts, targeted at multi-generational families who want landed-style living with condo-like shared facilities.[5] In practice, URA caveats and resale listings show typical built-up areas around 5,300–7,200 sq ft for terrace and corner-terrace configurations.[6][8]
From staying in Serangoon–Hougang for years, I can say this Charlton enclave has a distinctly low-density, family feel. On weekends you will often see kids cycling along the cul-de-sacs and residents walking to Upper Serangoon Road for supper at the late-opening kopitiams near Kovan MRT.
Charlton Residences Unit Types & Size Guide
Charlton Residences does not have compact units like studio or 1-bedroom condos. Instead, every unit is a large strata terrace, broadly falling into two main categories based on URA transaction records and historic brochures:[5][6][8]
- Inter-terrace units: Typically around 5,300–5,400 sq ft built-up, 5–6 bedrooms, 5–6 bathrooms.
- Corner-terrace / larger units: Around 7,200–7,300 sq ft built-up, wider frontage, 5–6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms.[6][8]
While exact floor areas for each stack vary, a practical way for buyers to evaluate Charlton Residences is to look at how each family type will use the space.
Inter-Terrace Layouts (~5,300–5,400 sq ft)
Based on past resale caveats (for example, a 5,350 sq ft terrace transacted in July 2022) and rental listings, a typical inter-terrace unit offers:[6][7]
- Basement with 2-car parking, helper’s room and store.
- First floor living/dining, dry and wet kitchen opening to a small patio.
- 2nd–3rd floors with 3–4 ensuited bedrooms.
- Attic level with 1–2 bedrooms or multi-purpose family area, plus roof terrace (varies by stack).[5]
This size works well if you are upgrading from a 4-room or 5-room flat and want a significant jump in living space without taking on the absolute highest price quantum in the project.
Corner-Terrace & Larger Layouts (~7,200+ sq ft)
Corner units, based on marketing materials and third-party data, can reach around 7,200–7,260 sq ft built-up and are noticeably wider with more side windows and light.[5][8] These typically feature:
- Wider car porch (2–3 cars, depending on placement).
- Larger living / dining area, suitable for hosting.
- More sizeable master suite (sometimes spanning nearly half a floor).
- Bigger outdoor area or side garden strip (where site layout allows).
For multi-generational families—grandparents on one level, parents and kids on others—this is usually the sweet spot, especially if you want everyone on separate floors for privacy.
Who Should Choose Which Unit Type?
Here is a quick decision guide based on real buyer profiles we often see at Homejourney for D19 properties:
- Young families with 1–2 children: Inter-terrace is usually sufficient. Use one room as a study, keep one guest room for grandparents.
- Multi-generational households: Corner-terrace or larger units provide enough separation between generations, plus wider living and dining spaces.
- Investors planning to rent to large families or groups: Either unit type works, but larger units may command higher absolute rent while inter-terraces could offer a better gross yield due to lower entry price.
- Buyers upgrading from HDB with budget sensitivities: Start with inter-terrace; focus on orientation and internal layout efficiency instead of maximum built-up size.
Space Planning Tips (From a Local’s Perspective)
Having viewed multiple Charlton and nearby landed units over the years, a few space-planning tips stand out for this cluster:
- Noise aspect: Units closer to Upper Serangoon can pick up more traffic noise, especially at night when motorcycles accelerate. If you have young kids or light sleepers, prioritise inner-facing units and budget for double-glazed windows in bedrooms.
- Afternoon sun: West-facing façades along Charlton Road can get quite warm from 3–6 pm. Check the sun orientation during viewing and consider ziptrack blinds or external shading for balconies and roof terrace.
- Internal lift maintenance: Many units have private lifts. Factor in annual servicing costs; Homejourney’s partner network for home services (including air-conditioning) can help keep monthly maintenance predictable.Aircon Services
- Carpark manoeuvring: The access driveway is relatively compact. If you have multiple cars, pay attention to how easy it is to reverse and exit during peak hours (school/work mornings).
Current Price Expectations & PSF Guide (2026)
Based on URA caveats and recent landed transactions in the Charlton / Kovan area, buyers in 2025–2026 can broadly expect:
- Inter-terrace strata units (around 5,300–5,400 sq ft) to be in the ballpark of S$3.3–3.8 million, translating to roughly S$600–S$720 psf on built-up, depending on condition and facing.[6][8]
- Larger or corner units (~7,200+ sq ft) to reach S$4.5–S$5.6 million, with PSF figures often slightly lower than smaller units due to size, perhaps in the S$620–S$760 psf region.[8]
These numbers are estimates derived from URA transactions in 2022–2024 and may not reflect the exact asking prices of current listings.
