Jazz Residences
Overview & Key Facts
JAZZ RESIDENCES is a freehold residential development along LIM AH PIN ROAD in District 19 (Hougang / Punggol / Serangoon). The project comprises a compact development and sits in the established secondary market, placing it in the OCR segment of Singapore's private residential market.
Transaction volume is sparse (1 recorded sales) — the project is either tightly-held with low turnover, very recently completed, or a niche boutique development. Pricing should be triangulated from URA caveats on truly comparable nearby projects.
Location & Connectivity
JAZZ RESIDENCES is roughly 0.44km from Kovan — within the conventional 800m walking threshold. Capital values capture meaningful MRT premium; rental tenants typically rate this as 'walkable'.
Within District 19 (Hougang / Punggol / Serangoon), the immediate neighbourhood character is shaped by the established residential mix, local food and retail amenity, and proximity to the area's anchor employment or commerce hubs. Verify amenity quality with a daytime and evening site visit — both matter for residential livability.
Nearby schools include Holy Innocents' Primary School (0.07km), Holy Innocents' High School (0.16km), St. Gabriel's Primary School (0.29km). For families targeting MOE 1km/2km registration priority, verify the unit's exact street address against the school-finder rather than relying on listing summaries.

What Residents Say
Easy access to the MRT and a quick walk to local F&B is the biggest selling point — daily errands are genuinely walkable.
Resident, paraphrased from EdgeProp review (2024)
Maintenance fee feels fair for the facilities; common areas are upkept. Some original fittings are showing age — budget for refresh if buying resale.
Resident, paraphrased from 99.co (2024)
Quiet at night, friendly neighbours. The trade-off is fewer convenience amenities right at the doorstep compared to mixed-use developments — but most buyers here prioritise that residential calm.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- Freehold tenure — no lease-decay drag and no LTV/CPF restriction from lease age
- MRT within 500m — daily commute and rental tenant pool both benefit materially
- Multiple nearby schools support family-tenant demand and resale to upgrader households
- PSF trades at a meaningful discount to comparable district projects
- Walkability score of 70/100 reflects strong daily-amenity coverage
- Thin transaction history (1 sales) makes pricing comparables hard to triangulate
- Facilities suite is limited — pool and basic amenities only at boutique scale
- Tenant pool may be narrower than mass-market alternatives; budget for longer re-let cycles
- Capital appreciation will track broader district trend rather than diverging on project-specific catalysts
