SELL & RENT HDBS IN BUKIT MERAH ESTATE
Bukit Merah (红山) is one of Singapore’s oldest and most diverse HDB estates. Located in the Central Region, it is part of the Central Singapore CDC and is well-connected by multiple MRT stations, as well as Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE).
Bukit Merah offers a wide range of housing options, including many HDB flats of various ages and styles. These are some of the other HDB subzones in the Bukit Merah HDB estate:
– Depot Road
– Henderson
– Redhill
– Telok Blangah
– Tiong Bahru
My personal connection to Bukit Merah stems from my time spent running Bukit Merah Kumon Learning Centre with my wife from 2006 to 2014. Many of our students resided in Bukit Merah and we are still in touch with some of them till this day.
I have made countless memories in Bukit Merah over the last 30 years or so, and am really looking forward to how this town will further transform under ROH (Remaking Our Heartland). I’m very excited, because this is likely where I’ll forever call home!

7 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT BUKIT MERAH HDB ESTATE
(a) Historical Significance:
Bukit Merah, meaning “Red Hill” in Malay, derives its name from the reddish lateritic soil found in the area. This unique soil has shaped both the landscape and the history of the estate, influencing its development over time.
(b) Singapore’s First Public Housing Estate:
Tiong Bahru, a subzone of Bukit Merah, is home to Singapore’s first public housing estate, developed by the Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT). Construction began in 1936.
Today, the pre-war Tiong Bahru flats, with their iconic Streamline Moderne architectural style, are highly sought-after and protected under conservation laws.
HDB’s headquarters used to be at Bukit Merah before they shifted to Toa Payoh in 2002. With the move, the new HDB headquarters was renamed as HDB Hub.
(c) The Henderson Waves:
Bukit Merah boasts Singapore’s highest pedestrian bridge, the Henderson Waves. Connecting Mount Faber Park and Telok Blangah Hill Park, this undulating architectural wonder offers scenic views and serves as a popular destination for both residents and visitors.
(d) Culinary Haven:
Famed for its food scene, Bukit Merah is home to the iconic Tiong Bahru Market, one of Singapore’s most beloved hawker centers. Many stalls here are Michelin Bib Gourmand recipients, attracting both locals and tourists with their culinary delights.
(e) The Former KTM Railway:
A portion of the former Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) railway runs through Bukit Merah. This historic route has since been transformed into the Rail Corridor, offering residents a tranquil space for recreational activities while preserving a piece of Singapore’s transportation history.
(f) Important Institutions:
Bukit Merah hosts several key institutions, such as the Duke-NUS Medical School and the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA), making the estate not only a residential hub but also a center for education and innovation.
(g) Mount Faber:
Originally named Telok Blangah Hill, Mount Faber was renamed in 1845 after Captain Charles Edward Faber, who contributed significantly to the area’s development. Today, Mount Faber remains a prominent landmark, offering panoramic views of Singapore and serving as the gateway to the cable car system to Sentosa.

Customers consistently rate their experiences highly, indicating satisfaction and positive outcomes overall.
I have recently relocated to Singapore and have been very fortunate to employ Jack’s help in securing a rental property. He has been an absolute star and is ever so helpful. His replies are prompt and attention to detail is excellent. I have only managed to come to Singapore for a couple of days and we managed to view more than 10 properties with his help. He still kept me up to date after the contract was signed. Til to date, Jack still keeps in touch about issues regarding the property. I cannot recommend him enough and would urge anyone looking for a property in Singapore to get in touch with Jack
I’m writing this review to express my gratitude to Jack, who helped me enjoy a stable life in Singapore for the past year and a half. When I first arrived in Singapore and felt overwhelmed, Jack introduced me to a great place to live. From the contract signing to the time I spent there, and even after the lease ended, he provided consistent care and support. Thanks to him, I was able to stay in a nice home and live comfortably in Singapore for a year and a half. I truly appreciate his kind help throughout my journey in Singapore, and I highly recommend Jack to everyone.
We first met Jack Sheo of PropNex Realty when we came across a private property listing in which we were very interested. From our first meeting, we were impressed by his professionalism, market knowledge, and genuine approach. At the time, we were considering selling my current HDB home and purchasing a private property and after that initial conversation, I felt confident engaging him to guide me through the entire process. Working with Jack was a smooth and reassuring experience from start to finish. He took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and timeline, and tailored his strategy accordingly. On the selling side, he helped stage and market my home effectively, generating strong interest and securing a great offer within a super short period. On the buying side, he was equally diligent, patiently offering valuable insights, and ultimately helping me secure that property that matched what I was looking for—both in value and lifestyle. What really stood out about Jack was his responsiveness, honesty, and ability to anticipate and solve problems before they became issues. He handled the paperwork, coordinated with all the relevant parties, and kept me informed every step of the way. This made a potentially stressful process feel much more manageable and even enjoyable. We highly recommend Jack to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. His experience, dedication, and client-first attitude truly make a difference.
I know Jack from Google sites. i decided to work with Jack because of his review on Google as he has amazing reputation. He is very informative, fast response, and high knowledge in Singapore property industry. In conclusion, i am very satisfied and appreciate his help. Thank you Jack!
I have known Jack for closed to two decades. He is meticulous in his analysis, dependable and distinctly professional. Indebted to his unwavering support throughout these years; be it for the sale of properties and lease management. With his in-depth knowledge, transactions were done at the most opportune time and seamlessly concluded.
My hubby n I found Mr Jack Sheo on line which is Buddha Sent. What catch my eyes was his favor line “above n beyond”. In reality he just like he mentioned he really went above n beyond to help us. Although we were in US n he in Singapore he treat our home like his and cleaned for 3 hrs till midnight before he put it in the market for us. He also solved a lot of individual hardship for us. He is very kind n knowledgeable. Whenever he gives you the instruction which is very clear n right to the point without wasting any of your time. He also tried to get the best price for you. He is the BEST agent we ever had👍👍👍
Jack is a straightforward guy who can lets me know if things can or cannot be done. He tries to do his best for both tenant and landlord so that we all meet middle ground. Thanks Jack!
I'm truly grateful for my experience working with Jack Sheo. I found his website while searching for a Singapore property agent to help sell my property, and I couldn't have made a better choice. From our first meeting, Jack's knowledge and professionalism stood out. He has a wonderful way of making you feel at ease. Talking with him felt like discussing my property with a knowledgeable friend who genuinely cared about my needs. His insights were valuable, and I appreciated that he never pressured me. Throughout the entire selling process, Jack was an invaluable guide. He patiently walked me through each step, turning what could have been a stressful experience into a manageable journey. When he learned I was overwhelmed with work, he even arranged for my furniture disposal. A gesture that genuinely touched me. Reading other reviews, I see that my positive experience isn't unique. Jack consistently delivers excellent service to his clients. I'm so thankful for my smooth and positive property sale experience. Jack, you're truly exceptional at what you do. Thank you for making this process so much easier and more pleasant than I ever expected. If you're in need of a property agent in Singapore, I wholeheartedly recommend Jack Sheo. His dedication and expertise made all the difference in my experience, and I'm confident he'll do the same for you.
