One Chuan Grove Location Guide

The site in context

Chuan Grove branches off Lorong Chuan, close to where Lorong Chuan meets Serangoon Avenue 3 and the MRT station. Established condominiums such as Chuan Park and Springbloom sit around the station, and the wider neighbourhood is predominantly residential.

With 1,056 homes on two combined plots totalling about 30,345 sqm, One Chuan Grove will be one of the larger developments in its immediate surroundings. That scale is worth bearing in mind when visualising the finished estate: its 5 blocks, four of 27 storeys and one of 24 storeys, are likely to be visible landmarks in a mainly residential area, which may give upper floors open views, depending on orientation and the stack you choose. The Australian International School sits directly opposite the site.

MRT: Lorong Chuan station on the Circle Line

The nearest station is Lorong Chuan (CC14), an underground Circle Line station at 150 Serangoon Avenue 3. It opened on 28 May 2009 with the other Circle Line Stage 3 stations. According to the ERA project highlights, the station is about 250 m from the site, or roughly 3 minutes' walk.

Being one stop from two different interchanges is the key advantage. In practice, that means a resident can switch to the North East Line at Serangoon or the North-South Line at Bishan after a single stop, giving two separate radial routes into the city as well as routes to the north and north-east of the island, in addition to the Circle Line's own orbital route. The ERA project highlights count Orchard at 6 stops and Great World at 8 stops from Lorong Chuan, in each case with a change of line along the way.

Future rail: Cross Island Line

The Land Transport Authority states that Cross Island Line Phase 1 is expected to be completed in 2030. Its Phase 1 stations include Serangoon North, Tavistock, Ang Mo Kio, Teck Ghee and Bright Hill, with interchanges at Ang Mo Kio (North-South Line) and Bright Hill (Thomson-East Coast Line).

None of these stations is at Lorong Chuan, and the walking or bus time from One Chuan Grove to them will depend on the final address. The Cross Island Line does, however, add an east-west rail corridor across the wider district, which may shorten some journeys towards the east coast and the north-east once it opens.

Roads and driving

For drivers, the Central Expressway (CTE) and Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) are within reach. Together, these two expressways provide road links towards the city centre and to most other parts of Singapore.

Lorong Chuan and the surrounding roads carry mainly local traffic. Actual drive times vary with time of day, so buyers who commute by car should test their routes at peak hours before deciding.

Shopping, food and daily needs

The ERA project highlights place several shopping options within a few MRT stops:

• NTP+ (New Tech Park), next door to the site, for everyday errands within walking distance.
• NEX, the large mall at Serangoon, is integrated with Serangoon MRT and the Serangoon bus interchange as part of the Serangoon Integrated Transport Hub. It is one Circle Line stop from Lorong Chuan.
• Junction 8 at Bishan, one stop in the other direction.
• AMK Hub, Woodleigh Mall and Kovan 209 Market, each about 2 MRT stops away.
• Serangoon Gardens, a well-known neighbourhood of eateries, cafés and bakeries. Serangoon Garden Circus, myVillage and Chomp Chomp Food Centre are about 5 minutes' drive from the site, according to the ERA project highlights, and are popular for evening and weekend meals.

Bishan itself is an established town with its own shops and services around Junction 8. Within the estate itself, One Chuan Grove will include 7 shops and a childcare centre, so some everyday errands and pre-school drop-offs can happen without leaving the development. The private dining rooms, banquet hall and BBQ pavilions planned at One Chuan Grove will provide space for hosting at home.

Schools

Schools are often a major factor for families looking at District 19. The ERA project highlights of 3 November 2026 list 4 primary schools within 1 km of One Chuan Grove:

• CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel
• Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary School
• St. Gabriel's Primary School
• Yangzheng Primary School

The same highlights count 10 primary schools within 2 km. Treat both figures as indicative. Primary school distance bands are measured from the home address, and the final address has not been released, so check each school on OneMap once it is, before relying on it for Primary 1 registration.

The Australian International School is directly across the road. The highlights also point to the Early Learning Village at Chuan Lane, Stamford American International School at Woodleigh, Lycée Français de Singapour and SJI International in the wider area. Being opposite a school is convenient for families who use it, but it is also worth checking how school-run traffic affects the road at peak times. For younger children, the childcare centre within the development adds an option close to home. If schools are a priority for you, register and mention the schools you are considering.

Who the location suits

The location is likely to appeal to households who want a quiet residential street with rail access close by, and to existing residents of Serangoon, Bishan, Ang Mo Kio and Hougang who want to upgrade without leaving familiar surroundings. Families with young children may value the on-site childcare centre and the primary schools within 1 km. Commuters working along the Circle, North East or North-South Lines will find the interchange access practical.
