Sunglade

Sunglade at Serangoon Avenue 2 is a highly practical and strategically located 99-year leasehold condominium in District 19. It sits right at the heart of the bustling Serangoon enclave. Completed in the early 2000s, it is known for providing the ultimate suburban convenience. It acts as a more spacious and affordable alternative to the ultra-premium integrated developments nearby, making it a huge draw for families and working professionals who want immediate access to major transport nodes and mega-malls.

Key project facts

• Type & tenure: Private residential condominium on a 99-year leasehold tenure (starting from 2000).

• Completion & scale: Completed in 2003. It is a medium-sized development with 475 residential units spread across multiple 12- to 13-storey blocks.

• Developer: Developed by CapitaLand Residential (under SV Development Pte Ltd), ensuring a highly reliable build quality and well-planned estate layout.

Location and connectivity

• Address & setting: Located at 1 to 13 Serangoon Avenue 2. The estate is tucked just behind the main commercial action, offering a buffer from the traffic noise while keeping you right next to the amenities.

• MRT access: Incredible connectivity. It is a mere 3- to 5-minute walk (around 300m to 400m) to Serangoon MRT, which is a major interchange for both the North-East Line (NEL) and Circle Line (CCL). You can reach Dhoby Ghaut or the CBD in 15 minutes.

• Road links: Immediate access to Upper Serangoon Road and Boundary Road, linking drivers very quickly to the Central Expressway (CTE) and Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE).

Layouts and design

• Unit mix: Extremely family-focused. The project completely skips 1-bedroom units, offering only 2-bedroom to 4-bedroom layouts. The sizes are incredibly generous for an MRT-adjacent project. 2-bedroom units start at a massive 861 sq ft, while 3-bedders comfortably range from 1,044 up to 1,518 sq ft.

• Design approach: The units feature the classic early-2000s emphasis on functional floor space. You get proper enclosed kitchens, dedicated yard areas for laundry, and wide living rooms that easily fit large family furniture.

• Positioning: Targets practical owner-occupiers, HDB upgraders from the surrounding Serangoon and Hougang estates, and investors who want an easy-to-rent asset next to a major MRT interchange.

Facilities and lifestyle

• Facilities: Features a full suite of classic condo amenities. This includes a large swimming pool, wading pool, clubhouse, gymnasium, sauna, BBQ pits, and tennis courts.

• Living environment: Tropical and laid-back. The developer designed it with a resort theme, incorporating lots of water features, mature palm trees, and shaded walkways to create a relaxing environment to come home to.

• Nearby amenities: As good as it gets. You are a 5-minute walk to NEX, the largest mall in the North-East, packed with a massive NTUC FairPrice Xtra, Cold Storage, cinemas, and endless dining options. Top schools like Yangzheng Primary School, Maris Stella High School, and St. Gabriel’s Primary School are all within a 1km radius.

Market and buyer appeal

• Resale positioning: Sunglade occupies a massive sweet spot. While its overall price quantum is substantial due to the large unit sizes, its Price Per Square Foot (PSF)—typically trading in the $1,500 to $1,700 range recently—makes it a very attractive value buy compared to brand-new launches pushing past $2,100 PSF.

• Rental demand: A total powerhouse. The combination of the dual-line MRT interchange, the NEX megamall, and large layouts makes it a top choice for expatriate families and professionals working in the city or the Paya Lebar commercial hub.

• Key appeal: Unbeatable Convenience and Space. Buyers here are paying for the sheer practicality of having a massive mall and two major train lines at their doorstep, without sacrificing the internal living space needed to raise a family.
