SELL & RENT HDBS IN CHOA CHU KANG ESTATE
Choa Chu Kang (蔡厝港), located in the northwestern part of Singapore, is a vibrant and family-friendly HDB estate. Part of the North-West CDC, it is well-connected by the Choa Chu Kang MRT station, LRT system, and major expressways like the Kranji Expressway (KJE) and Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE).
Originally known for its agricultural roots, the area was home to rubber plantations and pineapple farms before undergoing rapid urbanization in the 1980s.
Choa Chu Kang features a wide range of HDB flats catering to various family sizes and needs. These are some of the HDB subzones in the Choa Chu Kang estate:
- Choa Chu Kang Central
- Choa Chu Kang North
- Keat Hong

My personal connection to Choa Chu Kang dates back to my National Service days. Based at Lim Chu Kang camp, my campmates & I would often frequent Lot One Shopping Mall or local eateries at the Keat Hong on our nights out.
I remember us walking through the farm fields togther, hand in hand. I have many cherished moments of us bonding amidst beautiful nature.
These memories hold a special place in our hearts and remind us of the precious time we shared as a family in our beloved town.

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.
Jack was very helpful & responsive with the Singapore real estate questions that I had. It was a pleasure talking to him.
Let me start by saying Jack isn't a typical Singapore property agent. I didn't feel any pressure from him, which isn't typical of property agents. He's been very proactive & professional in assisting me with the sale & rental of my property. Always helpful with suggestions & advice that are backed up by sound analysis of the situation and the real estate market. I have full confidence recommending him to anyone in need of a property agent in Singapore.
I had the pleasure to work with Jack for rental of our home and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Jack demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication and market knowledge. Jack took the time to understand our requirements ensuring that the tenant who viewed were good fit. He is always available to answer my doubts and questions, provide insights and offer invaluable advice. What truly set Jack apart was his commitment to making the process as smooth and stress free as possible. He handled all details in great care from arranging for viewings, negotiating term and finalizing the paper work. He also went the extra mile to help us tie up loose ends after we have left SG. I highly recommend Jack to anyone in need for a top notch real estate consultant/agent.
