Finding a home that truly fits your family’s needs can feel like a challenge especially in land-scarce Singapore, where larger units are increasingly rare. That’s why this 5-bedroom condominium at Gem Residences, located in the heart of Toa Payoh, is such a standout. Not only does it offer space, comfort, and convenience, but it also happens to be the most affordable 5-bedroom unit in the area, at S$2.75 million for a generous 1,313 sqft of living space.
Let’s take a closer look at why this property is more than just another listing it’s a home that checks all the right boxes for growing families, multi-generational households, and even savvy investors.
Space to Breathe, Room to Grow
The unit spans 1,313 sqft and retains the original 5-bedroom layout designed by the developer, making it one of the rare few in the project that has not been reconfigured. Every inch of the space has been carefully planned to support a modern family’s lifestyle from open common areas for shared time, to private rooms where everyone can retreat and recharge.
What’s even better? This is a corner unit, located on a mid-floor, offering excellent natural light, cross-ventilation, and a quiet environment. From the windows and private balcony, you’ll enjoy peaceful views of the swimming pool, adding a calming touch to your everyday life.
