Why MRT proximity matters
Across Singapore, HDB blocks within 400m of an MRT station typically transact at a 5–10% premium versus comparable blocks 800m+ away. Beyond ~600m, the proximity premium is statistically indistinguishable from the wider town average — so the gap between "1km from MRT" and "in the town" is usually smaller than buyers fear.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is 'within 1km' calculated?
We use straight-line (Haversine) distance from the MRT station's gazetted coordinates to each block's coordinates. Real walking time may be 20–30% longer because of road network geometry — treat the table as a shortlist, not a final walking-time map.
Why aren't all my expected blocks listed?
We only include blocks with verified coordinates in our hdb_blocks dataset. New or recently-renumbered blocks may not yet have a coordinate fix and will be added as data is updated. The list is capped at the 20 nearest blocks to keep the page readable.
Does proximity to Tan Kah Kee MRT translate into a price premium?
Generally yes for the inner 400m, smaller for 400–600m, and not meaningfully for 600m+. The premium is also stronger for blocks with direct sheltered access (e.g. covered linkways) than for blocks where walkers cross a major road. Always price against comparable blocks in the same town, then layer in the MRT discount or premium last.
