BUKIT TIMAH · MRT CORRIDOR GUIDE

Every Condo Within 5 Minutes of Sixth Avenue MRT (DT7) — 2026 Guide

A buyer’s walking-distance guide to every condominium near Sixth Avenue station on the Downtown Line. Updated May 2026.

Why this corridor matters: Sixth Avenue MRT (DT7) is the central station for the Bukit Timah greenbelt residential corridor — directly serving the Swiss Club Subzone, Holland Road, and the Coronation Road area. The Downtown Line runs to Bugis (city core) in ~20 mins, with one-stop interchanges at Stevens (TE), Botanic Gardens (CC), and Newton (NS). For a CCR address, this is one of the best MRT-served pockets in Singapore.

What “5 minutes” actually means

A 5-minute walk at average pace covers ~400 metres. For URA’s 1km school catchment rules, that’s well inside any primary school radius. For commute purposes, sub-5-min walks to MRT typically command a 5-10% psf premium versus comparable stock further out.

Below we group by walk distance. Times are approximate and depend on entry/exit point and pedestrian routes.

Why the corridor will appreciate further

Three structural tailwinds:

Turf City masterplan execution. Sixth Avenue is the closest active MRT station to the Turf City Racecourse Neighbourhood. Until the dedicated Turf City MRT station opens (2030s), Sixth Avenue carries most of the early Turf City foot traffic. Read the Turf City explainer →
School cluster strength. Top primary and secondary schools, plus the international school anchor, keep tenant and resale demand consistent through cycles.
Limited new supply. Most of the corridor is GCB or landed-zoned. New condo launches are exceptionally rare — Dunearn House is the first significant new-build in the Swiss Club Subzone in 33 years.

Frequently asked questions

Which is the only new launch within 5-min walk of Sixth Avenue MRT?

Dunearn House (preview July 2026) is the only new non-landed launch within 5-min walk. 4-min walk to Sixth Avenue MRT, 380 units, 99-year leasehold.

How long does it take to reach Marina Bay from Sixth Avenue?

Approximately 30 minutes including transfer at Newton (NS) or Stevens (TE). For direct Downtown Line ride to Bugis (city core), about 20 minutes.
