Buying a home near a popular primary school in Singapore
Singapore's Primary 1 registration gives admission priority by home-school distance whenever a school is oversubscribed and goes to ballot. Families living within 1km of the school rank highest, followed by those within 1–2km, then beyond. Because the most sought-after schools ballot year after year, a home inside the 1km radius is often closer to a requirement than a tiebreaker. CheckHowMuch maps every HDB block inside the 1km (and 1–2km) radius of 50 of the most popular primary schools, with real resale prices from data.gov.sg so you can see what living near each school actually costs.
Frequently asked questions
How does living within 1km of a primary school help P1 registration?
If a school is oversubscribed and goes to ballot, MOE gives admission priority by home-school distance: Singapore Citizens within 1km first, then 1–2km, then beyond 2km. A home within 1km gives the best ballot odds.
How is the 1km distance measured?
MOE measures home-school distance as a straight line ("as the crow flies"), not by walking or driving route. The distances on CheckHowMuch use the same straight-line method, school point to HDB block.
