How much does a landed property in District 15 cost in 2026?
District 15 — covering Katong, Joo Chiat, and the East Coast corridor — is one of the most sought-after landed districts in Singapore. It sits close to the CBD, has strong school catchments, and carries the cultural weight of the Peranakan heritage belt. All of that shows up in the prices.
This article breaks down what buyers are actually paying in D15 in 2026, based on listings currently available on SingaporeLanded.Homes. Prices are asking prices, not transacted — but they reflect what sellers and their agents believe the market will bear today.
Price ranges by house type
The widest range is in terraces, simply because they make up the majority of D15 landed stock. A compact 1,200–1,500 sqft freehold terrace typically starts around $2.8M–$3.2M. A larger 2,000–2,500 sqft unit on a corner plot can reach $5M–$7M. Semi-Ds and bungalows span an even wider range depending on land size and facing.
| House Type | Typical Price Range | Typical Land Size |
|---|---|---|
| Terrace | $2.8M – $6.5M | 1,200 – 2,200 sqft |
| Corner Terrace | $3.5M – $8M | 1,500 – 2,800 sqft |
| Semi-Detached | $4.5M – $10M | 2,000 – 4,000 sqft |
| Bungalow | $8M – $18M+ | 4,000 – 10,000 sqft |
The figures above are indicative ranges based on current asking prices. Individual listings vary significantly based on condition, facing, storey count, and whether a pool or lift is present. Full addresses and exact prices are available on the listings page.
Freehold vs leasehold — does it matter in D15?
The majority of D15 landed stock is freehold, which is one reason the district commands a premium over newer estates. Buyers pay roughly a 10–15% premium for freehold over comparable 999-year leasehold, and the gap widens as properties age. 99-year leasehold landed in D15 is uncommon and typically part of specific housing estates near Siglap.
For owner-occupiers with a long time horizon, freehold matters more than it does for investors who plan to sell within 10–15 years, since the depreciation curve only starts biting noticeably beyond that window.
Land PSF — the real price signal
In landed property, price per square foot of land (land PSF) is more useful than built-up PSF for like-for-like comparisons, since built-up area varies enormously based on how many storeys the house has. In D15, freehold terrace land PSF currently ranges from approximately $1,800 to $3,200+ depending on location, size, and condition of the existing structure.
As a general rule: land PSF is higher for smaller plots (buyers pay a premium for affordability), and lower for larger plots (fewer buyers can afford them). A 1,400 sqft terrace at $2,800 PSF is not necessarily more expensive than a 2,200 sqft terrace at $2,200 PSF — you're just buying a different product.
What drives the price within D15?
Within D15, there is meaningful variation between sub-areas. Properties closer to East Coast Park, good primary schools (CHIJ Katong, Tao Nan, RGPS), and the marine parade MRT corridor attract stronger demand. Streets like Joo Chiat Road, Onan Road, and the side streets off Tanjong Katong Road consistently see higher per-sqft values than comparable plots further inland toward Geylang or the PIE.
Condition also moves the needle considerably in D15 because much of the stock is 30–50 years old. A house priced at $4M asking that needs a full rebuild is effectively land value minus demolition cost. A fully rebuilt or renovated unit at $5M may offer better value on a cost-per- liveable-sqft basis.
