Comparison | Lorong Chuan | District 19
If you are moving so your child can walk to St Gabriel's, CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel, Kuo Chuan Presbyterian or Yangzheng, Lorong Chuan now gives you two new condos in the same school belt, on the same street, near the same Circle Line station. The Chuan Park is already selling and completes first. One Chuan Grove launches in February 2027. The schools are the same. What you are really choosing is when you get your keys, and how much you pay for waiting.
Direct answer
The Chuan Park is a 916-home, 99-year condo by Kingsford and MCC Land that launched in November 2024 at an average of $2,579 psf and has averaged about $2,638 psf across sales since (EdgeProp). Completion is listed for 2028. One Chuan Grove is about 1,056 homes by Sing Holdings and Sunway, targeting a preview on 13 February 2027. Its prices are not out; analysts quoted by EdgeProp expect about $2,600 to $2,800 psf. For most school-belt families, I would buy whichever is cheaper per square foot once One Chuan Grove's prices are known, and lean to The Chuan Park if the gap is small.
Where they sit
Distances are straight-line from the One Chuan Grove site to LTA station and school locations, October 2026.
Why buy on Lorong Chuan at all
Buy here if you are a family planning to stay ten years or more and the four-school belt on the Circle Line is the reason you are moving. If the schools do not matter to you, you are paying for something you will not use.
Four primary schools within about 1km
From the One Chuan Grove site, St Gabriel's Primary is about 290m away, Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary about 600m, CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel about 870m and Yangzheng Primary about 970m on my map. The Chuan Park sits in the same belt. Few streets in Singapore have this many sought-after schools this close together.
The Circle Line, one stop from Serangoon
Lorong Chuan station on the Circle Line is about 440m from the One Chuan Grove site in a straight line. Serangoon interchange, with the North East Line and NEX, is one stop away.
The Chuan Park or One Chuan Grove?
Choose The Chuan Park if you want keys sooner and a price you can see today. Choose One Chuan Grove if you want first pick of stacks in a newer project and can wait, and only if it launches close to The Chuan Park's level.

What the market isn't telling you
1. A correction on floor areas
An earlier version of this page said The Chuan Park's floor areas include air-con ledges, and put a dollar figure on it. I have not been able to confirm that from the developer or another reliable source, so I have removed it. The Chuan Park's en bloc sale was approved in May 2023 and it launched in November 2024 (EdgeProp), close to the 1 June 2023 cut-off for the GFA harmonisation rules. Whether its quoted areas follow the old or new rules depends on when its plans were submitted. Ask both developers for their floor-area statements before you compare psf. My GFA harmonisation guide explains what to look for.
2. The Chuan Park sets the ceiling
The Chuan Park offers the same schools, the same station and earlier keys. If One Chuan Grove launches well above The Chuan Park's average of about $2,638 psf, you would be paying more for a home you get later. I would want a clear reason, such as a better stack, facing or layout, before paying that premium.
3. About 1,970 new homes on one street
The Chuan Park's 916 homes and One Chuan Grove's 1,056 will complete a couple of years apart. When owners start selling, similar units will be listed at the same time. If you might sell within six years of completion, choose a stack and facing that stands out, or consider whether you should buy here at all.
Strengths and watch points
- Four primary schools within about 1km
- Lorong Chuan MRT on the Circle Line
- Two new projects to compare on one street
- The Chuan Park gives earlier keys at a known price
- One Chuan Grove gives first pick of stacks
- About 1,970 new homes completing close together
- One Chuan Grove prices not out yet
- Floor-area basis needs checking for both
- Thin rental yields at these prices
- No new MRT line planned here
Would you rather
A. A three-bedroom at The Chuan Park at around its $2,638 psf average, with completion listed for 2028.
B. A similar three-bedroom at One Chuan Grove at an illustrative $2,700 psf, with first pick of stacks after the February 2027 launch and keys later.
James picks A, unless One Chuan Grove launches at or below about $2,650 psf. The schools and station are the same, and A gets your family in sooner. If One Chuan Grove prices close to The Chuan Park, B's newer project and wider choice of stacks make it worth the wait. Confirm both floor-area statements first.
What I think you should do
Work back from your child's Primary 1 registration year. If you need to be living here within two years, The Chuan Park is the realistic choice; check your block's distance to your target school with MOE before you pay. If you have more time, register for the One Chuan Grove preview, set a ceiling of about $2,650 psf, and compare it unit for unit with The Chuan Park's remaining stock.

Your next move, before One Chuan Grove prices are out
Do these three things now, in this order:
- Pick your school. Decide which primary schools you are targeting, and check each block's distance with MOE.
- Set your ceiling. Work out your budget with a funds gap check, and set a psf ceiling. The Chuan Park has averaged about $2,638 psf since launch.
- Decide your timing. One Chuan Grove previews on 13 February 2027 and prices are not out. Decide whether you buy The Chuan Park now or wait to compare.
Send me your target school, your budget and your move-in date on WhatsApp. I will compare a Chuan Park unit with One Chuan Grove on the same basis, in writing. No pitch, and no pressure to buy anything. If the numbers say wait, I will tell you.
