LinkTown Residences 1 Bedroom + Study Floor Plan
An indicative 1 bedroom + study of about 506 sq ft, referencing Parktown Residence. Who it suits, what to check in the final plan, and estimated costs.
The 1 bedroom + study is the entry point at LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences). Based on the indicative layout, which references the developers’ Parktown Residence, it is about 506 sq ft. It is the smallest quantum in the project, and it sits above Hougang MRT on a future North-East Line and Cross Island Line interchange, which is why it tends to draw a mix of own-stay and rental-minded buyers.
Who the 1 bedroom + study suits
- Singles buying their first home. Singapore Citizen singles can buy a private condo from age 21, and first-property ABSD for Singapore Citizens is 0%. The age-35 rule applies to HDB flats, not private condos.
- Couples without children, or not yet. One bedroom plus a working corner covers daily life, with Hougang Mall a short walk away and a new mall of about 300,000 sq ft planned within the development.
- Buyers who work from home. The study is the difference between working at the dining table and having a desk you can leave set up.
- Rental-minded buyers. A direct MRT link and a bus interchange downstairs are features tenants usually ask about. No rents for this project exist yet, so treat any rental figure you see with caution.
What to look for in the final plan
The indicative plan shows the typical format: an open living and dining area, a compact kitchen, one bedroom, one bathroom and a study nook. When the final LinkTown Residences layout is released, check these points closely because small units leave little room for compromise.
The study
Is it an open alcove or an enclosed room? Does it have a window? An enclosed study with a window can double as a guest space; an open nook is really a desk area. Neither is a second bedroom.
Usable area
At around 500 sq ft, every AC ledge, planter or void counted in the strata area takes a bigger share. Compare the internal living space, not just the headline sq ft. Our floor plans overview explains strata area in more detail.
Kitchen and storage
Open kitchens are common in this size. If you cook often, look for ventilation near the hob and at least one full-height cabinet. Check whether there is space for a washer and dryer.
Stack and view
Small units are often stacked facing the busier sides of a site. With a mall, bus interchange and town plaza on this site, look at the site plan to see what each stack faces before you shortlist.
Coming from an HDB 2-room Flexi flat?
An HDB 2-room Flexi flat has one bedroom, so on room count its closest match at LinkTown Residences is the 1 bedroom + study. Newer 2-room Flexi flats have an estimated internal floor area of about 36–46 sqm (roughly 390–495 sq ft), and resale ones are commonly around 47 sqm (about 505 sq ft). The indicative 506 sq ft here looks similar or slightly larger on paper, but a condo’s strata area can include the balcony, AC ledge and household shelter, so the space you actually live in may feel about the same or even smaller.
If you searched for a “1 room condo”, note that no studio type has been shown for Hougang Central Residences. The smallest indicative type is this 1 bedroom + study, and the actual unit mix is still to be announced.
- Laundry and storage: many HDB flats have a service yard and a household shelter used as a storeroom. Check where the washer, drying space and storage go in the final plan.
- Balcony share: work out how much of the 506 sq ft is balcony and AC ledge before comparing it with your flat.
HDB sizes are approximate and vary by block and year; verify with HDB. LinkTown Residences sizes are indicative, referencing Parktown Residence.
Illustrative price maths (estimate)
There is no price list for Hougang Central Residences yet. Analysts expect an average of about S$2,500–2,600 psf. Applied to the indicative 506 sq ft:
| At S$2,500 psf | At S$2,600 psf | |
|---|---|---|
| Illustrative quantum | S$1,265,000 | S$1,315,600 |
| Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD) | S$35,200 | S$37,224 |
| 5% at option to purchase | S$63,250 | S$65,780 |
| Max. loan at 75% LTV | S$948,750 | S$986,700 |
BSD uses the published tiers: 1% on the first S$180,000, 2% on the next S$180,000, 3% on the next S$640,000 and 4% on the next S$500,000. A 75% loan assumes a first housing loan with a tenure of up to 30 years, and at least 5% of the price must be paid in cash. Your loan also depends on TDSR (55%, tested at a 4% interest rate for private property). Verify with IRAS, MAS and your bank.
These are estimates only. Actual prices will vary by stack, floor and facing, and nothing here is a forecast of returns.
If you are buying to rent out
Private homes can only be rented for a minimum of three consecutive months, and rental income is taxable. If you may sell within four years, factor in Seller’s Stamp Duty (as announced in July 2025, verify with IRAS). Compare the 2 bedroom too: some investors prefer it because it can house two tenants or a small family.
