Teresa Terrace
Overview & Key Facts
TERESA TERRACE is a 99-year leasehold residential development along BUKIT TERESA CLOSE in District 4 (Telok Blangah / Sentosa). The project comprises a compact development and sits in the established secondary market, placing it in the CCR segment of Singapore's private residential market.
Transaction volume is sparse (0 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
TERESA TERRACE is roughly 0.52km from Keppel — within the conventional 800m walking threshold. Capital values capture meaningful MRT premium; rental tenants typically rate this as 'walkable'.
Within District 4 (Telok Blangah / Sentosa), 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 Cantonment Primary School (0.94km), Radin Mas Primary School (1.01km), Bukit Merah Secondary School (1.15km). 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
- MRT within walking distance (<800m) supports CBD-bound commuters and rental demand
- Multiple nearby schools support family-tenant demand and resale to upgrader households
- Boutique-scale development with lower facility-related management overhead
- Established neighbourhood character with mature streetscape and amenity profile
- Thin transaction history (0 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
