About 85% of the population in Singapore live in flats constructed through Housing and Development Board Programs. About 92% of all flats are now owner occupied. The flats are located in housing estates, which are self-contained satellite towns with schools, supermarkets, clinics, hawker centres, as well as sports and recreational facilities. There are a large variety of flat types and layouts, generally classified into three-room, four-room, five-room and executive flats. A three-room flat has two bedrooms in about 70 m² or 800 sq ft. A four-room flat has three bedrooms with about 90 m² or about 1,000 sq ft of space. A five-room is about 110 m² or about 1,200 sq ft. An executive apartment has three bedrooms and separate dining and living rooms. They are the largest apartments built by the Housing Board, with 150 m² or about 1,600 sq ft of space. |
