Character
The town in one paragraph.
Small HDB count (~6k flats), mature East Coast lifestyle. TEL extension changed the game in 2024.
The upgrade angle
If you're an upgrader in Marine Parade.
Marine Parade upgraders rarely leave the east — target D15 condos (Amber, Mountbatten, Katong) for continuity.
The sequencing that matters
- MOP timing — have you cleared the 5-year minimum occupation period? If not, when will you?
- Sell-first vs buy-first — the single most expensive sequencing decision for HDB upgraders. Varies by ABSD exposure and financing.
- Cash proceeds vs CPF refund — running the CPF accrued interest math (see article) before you list.
- ABSD remission window — 6-month rule after completion of your new property, strictly enforced.
