The Calrose is the freehold, two-station estate in the Lentor pocket, trading at a median $1,996 psf while holding a title none of the leasehold towers rising around it can match. Completed in 2007, the low-rise estate holds 421 units across 6 blocks of 5 storeys on Yio Chu Kang Road.
Connectivity here is unusually strong for an OCR freehold estate. Lentor MRT (TE5) sits within 500m of the estate, and Yio Chu Kang MRT (NS15) sits within 1km too, giving the estate both the Thomson-East Coast Line and the North South Line inside a single kilometre.
The school radius is deep. Anderson Primary School, CHIJ Saint Nicholas Girls’ School and Mayflower Primary School all fall within the 1km ballot band. Under MOE’s P1 registration framework, that distance decides ballot priority in the later phases, and our P1 registration guide walks through the phases.
The mix runs 64 two-bedders, 241 three-bedders and 87 four-bedders, so the 3-bedroom band carries well over half the estate. There are no 1-bedders here at all, a family-first building from the ground up.
On tenure: The Calrose is freehold, so there is no lease clock to run against your exit year, the argument that carries the entire pricing case below against its 99-year leasehold neighbours.
| UNIT TYPE | TOTAL | SIZES | UNIT MIX | FLOORPLANS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Bedroom | 69 | 926 - 1,884 | 16.39% | |
| 3 Bedroom | 260 | 1,141 - 2,282 | 61.76% | |
| 4 Bedroom | 92 | 1,399 - 2,928 | 21.85% | |
| Overall | 421 | 926 - 2,928 | 100.00% |
Lentor is a leasehold construction site right now, and The Calrose is the freehold estate sitting inside that same 1km MRT ring. The 4 sections below put numbers on what that combination is actually worth.
Most The Calrose resale transactions fall between $1,553 and $2,184 psf, with a median of $1,996 psf. That covers 20 transactions recorded with URA across 2025 and 2026, what units actually sold for, not asking prices.
The Calrose is the newest, priciest project of its own Yio Chu Kang West subzone peer set: Castle Green (TOP 1997) trades at a median $1,348 psf, Nuovo (2004) at $1,334 psf, Seasons Park (1997) at $1,303 psf, and Far Horizon Gardens (1986) at $1,110 psf. None of these four have a live page on our site, so we name them in plain text. The Calrose sits 48% above its nearest-priced peer, Castle Green, and up to 80% above Far Horizon Gardens, the oldest of the group, the premium of a newer, MRT-fronted freehold estate.
Recent prints, as of July 2026: a 1,442.4 sqft unit at $3.08M (2,137 psf), a 1,474.7 sqft unit at $3.4M (2,306 psf), a 1,248.6 sqft unit at $2.8M (2,243 psf), and a 2,217.4 sqft unit at $3.15M (1,421 psf) on a lower floor. The 2026 prints skew toward the top of the range, ahead of the trailing 12-month median.

The confirmed size ladder, priced at the $1,996 psf median, covers the 2-bedroom band: 926 to 1,098 sqft, some with a study, running about $1.85M to $2.19M.
The unit count confirms the estate also holds 241 three-bedders and 87 four-bedders, but our floor plan records do not yet carry a verified size range for either band. Rather than reuse the old copy’s unverified 1,141 to 2,928 sqft figures for those bands, we are flagging the gap here for the fuller plan set to be confirmed before publish. What the confirmed 2-bedroom data does show is 2007-era proportions, some units carrying a study alongside 2 baths.
Supply: the Yio Chu Kang West subzone holds 5 projects totalling about 2,042 units, all completed between 1986 and 2007. Nothing new has launched in this specific subzone since The Calrose itself in 2007, and the pipeline pressure sits one pocket over in Tagore, where Hillock Green, Lentor Mansion and several other leasehold towers are completing through 2030 at new-launch pricing.
Demand: Ang Mo Kio town holds about 21,359 four-room and larger HDB flats already past their Minimum Occupation Period, a deep and proven upgrader pool. The upgrade math: over the last 12 months the median Ang Mo Kio 4-room resale sold for $619,000 and the median 5-room for $994,000, so a paid-up 5-room flat covers roughly half the quantum of a 2-bedder here.
Rental: tenancy is well proven, with 80 leases signed since January 2025. Median rents run 2-bedders at $4,000, 3-bedders at $4,714 and 4-bedders at $5,375. Against the 2-bedroom ladder price of $1.85M to $2.19M, gross yields run about 2.2% to 2.6%.
The honest take: at roughly 19 years since TOP, most units need genuine renovation budgets, and the low-rise blocks mean no view premium anywhere in the estate. The confirmed floor plan data only extends to the 2-bedroom band for now. Our rental yield guide covers how we read the letting numbers, and the URA Master Plan shows what is still landing in the Lentor corridor next door.
School-focused families balloting for Anderson, CHIJ Saint Nicholas Girls’ or Mayflower, freehold long-term holders who want the Lentor MRT ring without a leasehold clock, and buyers who want 2 rail lines within 1km without paying new-launch pricing for it. The large 3-bedroom band suits growing families over singles.
Buyers who want the newest finishes in the Lentor pocket should look at Lentor Modern or Lentoria instead, and buyers who want a forest-facing freehold alternative in the same district should ask us about Meadows @ Peirce. For a smaller quantum station-served option nearby, ask us about Roots @ Transit.
