From swimming pools to sky gardens, condo facilities are a big part of the Singapore lifestyle. But which ones actually add value to your home and resale price? Here’s our 2025 ranking of condo facilities that matter most for both residents and investors. Location is also critical. For example, CCRs condos have always been a favourite in Singapore.

1) Top value-adding facilities
Based on buyer demand and URA transaction trends, these facilities consistently add the most value:
- Swimming pool – almost expected in Singapore condos. Developments without one face weaker resale demand.
- Gym / fitness centre – health-conscious buyers see this as essential. Saves money on external memberships.
- 24-hour security – access control, guard patrols, and CCTV. Especially important for families and expats (SPF security advisory).
- Carpark (with EV charging lots) – crucial with Singapore’s EV adoption targets (LTA EV roadmap).
- Playground & family spaces – demand from parents with young children boosts long-term value.

2) “Nice-to-have” lifestyle extras
These facilities create prestige but don’t always translate into higher resale value:
- Sky gardens & rooftop decks – beautiful but expensive to maintain.
- Tennis courts – prized in larger projects, but space-intensive; less common in new launches.
- BBQ pits & dining pavilions – popular for community bonding, though not a key resale driver.
- Jacuzzi / spa pools – luxury touch, but seldom a deciding factor for buyers.
- Function rooms & karaoke lounges – lifestyle perks, but underused in many condos.
Remember: these still contribute to monthly condo maintenance fees. While facilities boost lifestyle, location matters too — particularly if you live near an MRT. Learn more in our MRT condo value guide.
3) Emerging facilities for 2025 and beyond
Condo developers are adding future-ready facilities in line with government sustainability and smart nation goals:
- EV charging stations – aligned with LTA’s EV charging infrastructure plans.
- Co-working spaces – increasingly common post-COVID, catering to hybrid work lifestyles.
- Parcel lockers & delivery rooms – demand rising with e-commerce growth.
- Smart home integration – IoT-enabled condo apps for booking facilities and visitor access (IMDA smart nation initiatives).
4) How facilities impact maintenance fees
The more facilities your condo has, the higher the upkeep. Pools, gyms, sky gardens, and concierge services all raise maintenance fees. Smaller boutique condos with fewer facilities often charge higher per-unit fees due to fewer owners sharing the costs (BCA condo management guide).
Well-managed developments can balance this better — see our guide to condo management companies.
5) FAQ
Which condo facilities add the most resale value?
Pools, gyms, 24/7 security, and family-friendly spaces like playgrounds. EV-ready carparks are now a key factor too. That’s why people do consider upgrading from a HDB to a condo.
Do luxury facilities mean higher maintenance fees?
Yes. Sky gardens, concierge services, and tennis courts require more upkeep, leading to higher MCST fees.
Are condo facilities open to tenants as well as owners?
Yes. Tenants enjoy the same facility access as owners, subject to MCST house rules.
Are new launches offering fewer facilities now?
Many newer boutique projects focus on essentials (pool, gym) due to land scarcity and cost control.
