Woodsvale: Condo Guide to Prices, Units, Location and Who It Suits
Woodsvale is a 696-unit former executive condominium on Woodlands Drive 72, completed in 2000. Facts, recent psf, rents, MRT access and who it suits.
Woodsvale is a name many Woodlands and Admiralty families know. The 696-unit estate on Woodlands Drive 72 was built as an executive condominium and completed in 2000, and today it is one of the more affordable ways to get a large private condo unit near an MRT station in the north. This guide covers Woodsvale’s verified facts, recent prices, location and who it suits, then compares it fairly with a new launch.

Woodsvale unit types and sizes
Woodsvale is a family estate. EdgeProp’s unit records show strata sizes from about 1,227 sq ft to about 2,626 sq ft, with most units between roughly 1,230 and 1,500 sq ft. Its floor-plan records list:
- 3-bedroom: about 1,227 to 2,228 sq ft (the large end is typically top-floor units)
- 4-bedroom: about 1,625 to 2,626 sq ft
There are no small one- or two-bedders in the records, which is typical of ECs from that era. Facilities are not listed in the sources we checked, so confirm what is available when you view.
Prices and rents
Based on EdgeProp’s summary of URA caveats (accessed September 2026):
- Sales, last 12 months: about S$864 to S$1,043 psf, averaging about S$941 psf.
- Highest recorded: about S$1,043 psf in May 2026 for a 1,356 sq ft unit.
- Rents, last 12 months: about S$2.7 to S$4.5 psf per month, averaging about S$3.3 psf per month; EdgeProp puts the indicative gross yield at about 4.2%.
At about S$941 psf, a typical 1,300 sq ft unit works out to roughly S$1.2 million, which is why Woodsvale is popular with HDB upgraders: about three in four recorded buyers came from HDB addresses.
Past transactions are not a forecast. Check the latest caveats before you make an offer.
Location and amenities
Woodsvale sits on the Admiralty side of Woodlands. EdgeProp lists Admiralty Place and Kampung Admiralty as the nearby malls, with Sheng Siong and other supermarkets within about 400 m. Several preschools are within a few hundred metres.
Primary schools within 1 km according to EdgeProp include Greenwood, Admiralty, Riverside and Evergreen Primary, with Canberra, Endeavour, Northoaks and Qihua within 2 km. Confirm the exact distance bands on OneMap before P1 registration.
Transport
Admiralty MRT on the North-South Line is roughly 500 to 550 m away, which is a walkable distance for most residents. The North-South Line runs through Woodlands and Yishun towards Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Orchard and the city, and connects with the Thomson-East Coast Line at Woodlands. Drivers can use the SLE and BKE.
What to check when viewing
- Remaining lease vs your age: full CPF usage generally needs the remaining lease to cover the youngest buyer to age 95. With about 70 years left, this matters more for older buyers and for whoever you sell to later.
- Stack and floor: in a nine-block estate, facing, noise from roads and views vary. Compare caveats for similar stacks rather than the project average.
- Renovation budget: a 26-year-old unit may need new wiring, plumbing or windows. Factor that into the price.
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Large units at one of the lower psf levels for a private condo | Lease started 1997; about 70 years left |
| Walkable to Admiralty MRT | Long ride to the city centre |
| Several primary schools within 1 km | No small units for investors seeking compact rentals |
| Established neighbourhood with daily amenities | Older estate: renovation and upkeep costs |
Who Woodsvale suits
Woodsvale suits families who need three or four bedrooms on a budget, HDB upgraders who want to stay in the north, and people who work in Woodlands or across the Causeway. It suits buyers less if they want a long remaining lease for future resale or a short commute to the CBD. If you are comparing it with a new EC, our EC vs private condo guide and EC income ceiling guide explain the eligibility rules; as a former EC that is now fully private, Woodsvale has no EC income ceiling or MOP for resale buyers.
Resale condo or new launch?
A different kind of option is a new launch such as LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences) in the north-east. It is the residential part of the Hougang Central mixed-use site, directly linked to Hougang MRT, with a future Cross Island Line interchange, a mall and a bus interchange.
| Woodsvale | LinkTown Residences | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Completed 2000; resale | New launch; sales expected early 2027 (UOL’s August 2026 results guide a 2H 2027 launch) |
| Lease | 99 years from 1997 | 99 years from 2026 |
| Transport | ~500 m to Admiralty MRT | Directly linked to Hougang MRT (NE14) |
| Price | ~S$941 psf average (last 12 months) | ~S$2,500–2,600 psf (analyst estimate) |
The gap is large: S$1.7 million buys roughly 1,800 sq ft at Woodsvale’s average, versus about 650 to 680 sq ft at LinkTown’s estimated psf. Woodsvale gives space and immediate occupation; the new launch offers a fresh lease, a town-centre location closer to the city and new facilities. For a structured way to weigh this, see our new launch vs resale guide and the LinkTown Residences overview. LinkTown figures are indicative only.
