Here’s why you should look into Clementi’s landed homes

Landed homes in Clementi had historically traded below the island-wide average over the past decade.

Clementi’s landed homes offer a unique mix of affordability and future potential due to its proximity to top schools and Singapore's westward developments.

Landed homes in Clementi had historically traded below the island-wide average over the past decade, according to an analysis by Knight Frank Research based on URA Realis data.

“[Landed] homes in Clementi remain a largely quiet niche housing type that can prove to be the more than suitable homes for professional leaders of industries in the west and academics working in the education hub in the area,” Knight Frank said in a report of the area.

Long-term capital appreciation was also seen: in 2024, amongst 40 owners who purchased Clementi landed homes since 1997, 24 who resold their properties saw profits ranging from 23.3% to 410.9%.  This is for an average holding period of 17.6 years, it said.

Between January and July 2025, five sellers of their Clementi landed homes who had bought in 2007 achieved gains of between 35.2% to 340.9%. Their average holding period is 11 years.

Meanwhile, the stock just grew by 1% between Q2 2020 to Q2 2025, from 1,717 units to 1,735 units.

For landed housing in particular, Clementi reportedly offers a rare and distinctive opportunity, as new supply in this mature estate is virtually non-existent, making existing plots especially sought-after, the real estate consultancy wrote.

“These figures illustrate not only the resilience of Clementi’s landed market but also its potential as a long-term wealth-building asset for retirement and legacy planning,” Knight Frank Research said.

One of Clementi’s draws is its proximity to tertiary institutions such as the National University of Singapore (NUS), the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP), Singapore Polytechnic (SP), and international schools.

It is also just a train station away from Jurong.

“The Jurong Innovation District (JID) is taking shape as a hub for advanced manufacturing and cutting-edge research, drawing in innovators and creators. Further west at Tuas, one of the world’s largest automated container ports has been and continues to steadily expand,” Knight Frank Research wrote.
