Quick Definition
An HDB maisonette is a double-storey flat with bedrooms upstairs and living areas downstairs, connected by an internal staircase.
What Does It Mean?
An HDB maisonette is a double-storey flat with bedrooms upstairs and living areas downstairs, connected by an internal staircase. Executive Maisonettes (EMs) were among the largest HDB flats ever built (typically ~150 sqm). HDB stopped building them in the mid-1990s, so their scarcity and size make well-kept maisonettes command a resale premium.
