Prices per square foot are climbing, but the overall quantum isn’t increasing much. What does that mean for the Singapore private property market? It’s simple: homes are getting smaller.

Many of us long for the homes of the previous decades, where a three-bedroom condo meant a living room you could almost play tennis in. While the age of huge condos may be past, there are still some generously sized properties out there. Here are the developments with the biggest three-bedders, which are still under $1.5 million:

1. Golden Mile Complex (2,200–2,300 sq. ft.)

Location: Beach Road (District 7)

Developer: Woh Hup Pte. Ltd.

Lease: 99-years from 1969

Last transacted 3-bedder(s):

Golden Mile Complex elicits a strong love-it-or-hate-it reaction.
