3 Things to Consider Before Buying
Springleaf Residence
Imagine living in a home where you can stroll through a leafy park at sunrise and still make it to the city in minutes – that’s the everyday reality Springleaf Residences promises. Springleaf Residences is a new condominium development in Singapore’s District 26 that has been generating buzz among homebuyers and investors. As the first high-rise condo in the tranquil Springleaf enclave, this project offers a unique blend of serene nature and urban convenience. Before you commit to your purchase, we want to highlight three consideration on Springleaf Residences.
Seamless Connectivity: Go Anywhere, Effortlessly
1. Mixed-use Precinct
Since the 2019 Master Plan (formalized in June 2022), URA has earmarked the 33-hectare Springleaf area—bounded by Seletar Expressway, Mandai Road, and Upper Thomson Road—as a mixed-use precinct including both residential and commercial uses. This includes approximately 2,000 new private dwellings to be developed in phases around the MRT station area 1. Quiet, But Too Quiet?
Springleaf sits in a serene enclave near landed homes and nature parks. It's peaceful — which is great for some buyers, but may feel a little too quiet for others who are used to a buzzier, urban environment. The biggest concern of many buyers looking into this area will be. Will there even be any demand for this area? Will this be too be of a risk for me?
The truth is, we wouldn’t exactly know as this is a very new enclave. On top of that, with plot A still unbidded, the burning question will be.
Many agents will point out on how this area will be driven by transfromation from the north corridor, RTS which are true, BUT beyond that, lets study on certain projects where they are developed in new township.
You enjoy nature and slower-paced living
You’re okay with fewer immediate shops/eateries at your doorstep (nearest malls are 5–10 min away)
You prioritize restfulness over round-the-clock convenience
✅ If you're craving a peaceful lifestyle, it’s a gem.
❗ But if you want city-style energy or café culture downstairs, it may feel remote.
2. Future Growth vs. Current Amenities
Springleaf is still maturing — while the area has MRT access and greenery, large-scale amenities (shopping, F&B clusters, schools, etc.) are a little further off. The potential is strong, but you'll need to buy into the future.
Ask yourself:
Are you buying for own stay or investment?
Can you wait 3–5 years for the neighborhood to develop fully?
Are you prepared to commute slightly more for daily conveniences in the meantime?
✅ It’s a first-mover advantage in an emerging enclave.
❗ But it requires patience, and confidence in URA’s long-term plans.
3. Entry Price vs. Nearby Alternatives
Springleaf Residences is attractively priced for a new launch with MRT access. Comparing to those newer launches in Lentor and Norwood Grand, we may find some price advantage especially for those priced out.
Key considerations:
Do you value new build, design, and facilities — or space and tenure?
How long do you plan to hold the unit?
Is a 99-year leasehold in this area aligned with your goals?
✅ The entry price is palatable for a modern lifestyle condo near nature.
❗ But if you're purely after space or tenure, you may want to compare.
Final Thoughts: Buy with Clarity, Not Just Emotion
Springleaf Residences is a unique product — MRT convenience meets nature and exclusivity. But like any property, it's not one-size-fits-all. Weigh the pros, assess your lifestyle needs, and consider both present comfort and future potential.
If you're unsure, don't rush. Sometimes the best next step is to sit down, map out your needs, and make sense of the options with a clear framework.
