1. Project Overview of Goodwood Residence
1.1 Key Facts at a Glance
Goodwood Residence sits at 261 Bukit Timah Road, next to the Goodwood Hill conservation enclave and close to Newton and Orchard.[4][7] Designed by award-winning architecture firm WOHA, it translates resort-style design into a city residence with strong greenery integration, deep balconies and generous communal lawns.[5][7]
In day-to-day terms, living here means being in a very central location—on the “city” end of Bukit Timah Road—yet enjoying a surprisingly quiet, green environment thanks to the Goodwood Hill bungalows behind the development.[1][5][7] As someone who often walks this stretch, you really notice how the traffic noise drops as you turn into the Goodwood Hill area, compared with the busier Newton and Balmoral junctions.
1.2 District 10 (Tanglin / Holland / Bukit Timah) Context
District 10 is one of Singapore’s most established prime residential districts, covering Tanglin, Holland, Bukit Timah and Ardmore precincts.[4] Tanglin is known for embassies and the Singapore Botanic Gardens, while Bukit Timah is synonymous with top schools and landed addresses. Holland offers F&B and lifestyle clusters around Holland Village. URA’s Master Plan positions the central region (including Orchard, Newton and Tanglin) for continued rejuvenation as a mixed-use lifestyle hub, with more live–work–play options and improved connectivity.[4][7]Business Times Property
For buyers, this district profile underpins the long-term desirability of condos like Goodwood Residence, especially as freehold land here is limited and new launches tend to be smaller boutique projects.
2. Unit Types, Sizes and Floor Plan Highlights
2.1 Unit Mix and Size Ranges
Goodwood Residence is skewed towards larger family units, aligning with its luxury positioning and prime address. According to developer data, the unit mix is approximately as follows:[6]
There are no standard studio or compact 1-bedroom units, which naturally limits the tenant pool to higher-income professionals and families but helps maintain an exclusive, owner-occupier profile.
2.2 Layout Characteristics by Unit Type
2.2.1 2-Bedroom Units
The 2-bedroom layouts here are sizable by current market standards, often larger than newer 3-bedders in mass-market projects. Typical features (based on publicly available floorplans and on-site observations) include:
- Enclosed kitchen with proper yard area instead of a compact kitchenette
- Good-width living and dining area that can fit a full-sized sofa and 6-seater dining
- Generous balconies facing either the internal lawn/pool or Goodwood Hill greenery
- Common bathroom often doubles as a powder room for guests
2.2.2 3-Bedroom Units
3-bedroom units are typically designed as family homes rather than investment shoeboxes. Key highlights:
- Private lift access in many stacks (check specific stack before buying)
- Separate wet and dry kitchen configurations in larger layouts
- Utility/maid’s room plus yard, suitable for live-in help
- Wide-frontage living space opening to deep balconies (good for alfresco dining)
2.2.3 4-Bedroom Units
The majority of Goodwood Residence units are 4-bedders, reinforcing its positioning as a multi-generational and family-centric development.[6] Expect:
- Hotel-style master suites with walk-in wardrobes and large bathrooms
- Junior master or ensuite bedrooms suitable for older parents or teenagers
- Large kitchens with island counters in some layouts
- Some ground-floor units with direct access to lawns or pool decks, offering landed-like living with condo security[5]
2.2.4 Penthouses and Treehouse-style Units
Select penthouses and unique “treehouse cabana” units offer features like private roof terraces, double-volume living areas, and direct walkways to elevated cabanas among the trees—an unusual feature for a city condo and a strong lifestyle selling point.[5]
2.3 Smart Home and Sustainability Features
Goodwood Residence was designed with environmental sensitivity in mind—WOHA and the developer have highlighted features like extensive greenery, naturally ventilated common areas, and water-sensitive landscapes that reduce urban heat and support biodiversity.[7][8] While it predates the latest generation of built-in smart home systems, many owners have retrofitted smart locks, Wi-Fi-enabled lighting and AC controls.
If you intend to upgrade units with smart systems, Homejourney recommends checking electrical loading limits and engaging licensed installers. After purchase, you can also tap vetted maintenance partners such as air-conditioning specialists via Aircon Services to ensure safe, energy-efficient operation.
3. Facilities, Services and Security Features
3.1 Core Facilities
Goodwood Residence offers a resort-like suite of facilities that are exceptional even among high-end D10 condos. Commonly cited facilities include:[1][2][3][5][8]
- Large swimming pool (often described as Olympic-size or 50m lap pool)
- Pool deck with sun loungers and landscaped surrounds
- Jacuzzi and spa pool corners
- Well-equipped gym with pool and lawn views
- Clubhouse with lounge, dining/function spaces and "Chef's Table"/"Dining Room" concepts[6][8]
- Barbecue areas with sheltered seating[2][3][5]
- Tennis courts[2][3][5]
- Children’s playground and open lawn for informal play[5][8]
- Steam/sauna rooms and changing rooms[1][2][8]
Some facilities go beyond the typical condo standard—such as the expansive central lawn and poolside attendants described in site reviews—creating a genuine resort atmosphere rather than just a token facilities deck.[5][7]
3.2 Concierge and Services
Residents reportedly enjoy 24-hour concierge services along with 24-hour security, supporting the development’s positioning as a high-end, service-oriented residence.[1][2][3] For families who travel frequently or owners who use units as a pied-à-terre, this adds reassurance for deliveries, visitor management, and day-to-day coordination.
3.3 Security and Parking
Security provisions include:[2][3][5]
- 24-hour manned security with guard posts
- CCTV coverage in common areas
- Access-controlled lobbies and facility areas
Car park provisions are generous relative to unit count, consistent with the project’s low-density profile. While exact lots-per-unit ratios may vary by block, most families should have no issue securing at least one lot per unit, with additional lots subject to MCST rules and availability.
4. Location & Accessibility: Bukit Timah Road in D10
