A Comparison of 10-Year Average Price Trends in Districts 26, 22, 19 & 18
The chart below compares the 10-year average price per square foot (psf) growth for private condominiums and apartments across key Outside Central Region (OCR) districts.
10-year Average PSF Price Trends for Districts 26, 22, 19 and 18
- District 26 (Upper Thomson / Springleaf): +147.77%
- District 22 (Jurong): +71.64%
- District 19 (Serangoon Garden / Hougang / Punggol): +57.61%
- District 18 (Tampines / Pasir Ris): +70.83%
These figures underscore District 26’s exceptional performance, significantly outpacing other major OCR districts such as Jurong and Tampines - both established regional centres.
This strong growth illustrates District 26's rising appeal and the North Region's investment potential, driven by new transport links (Thomson-East Coast MRT Line and Johor-Singapore RTS), and ongoing developments such as the Woodlands Regional Centre and North Coast Innovation Corridor.
Hence, Lentor Gardens Residences is well-placed to benefit from these emerging developments as they are rolled out over time.
