Parquet in Toa Payoh homes

Toa Payoh has older HDB estates, small freehold condos along Boon Teck and Kim Keat, and newer condos at Woodleigh, Potong Pasir and Bidadari. Older Toa Payoh flats and the 1980s and 1990s condos near Boon Teck often still have solid parquet or teak strip floors, usually sanded once or twice. The newer Woodleigh and Bidadari condos mostly have engineered timber that needs a gentle recoat, not heavy sanding.

Local tip: In older flats, check the room by the kitchen or bathroom first. That's where water damage and lifting pieces usually start.

About Toa Payoh

Toa Payoh means 'big swamp' in Hokkien. The swampland was cleared in the 1960s to build Singapore's second satellite town, after Queenstown.

Its first flats were ready in the late 1960s. Queen Elizabeth II toured the town in 1972, and Toa Payoh MRT opened in 1987 on the first stretch of the MRT network.

Newer private homes have gone up around Woodleigh, Potong Pasir and the Bidadari estate, while the Balestier and Boon Teck side has many small freehold condos from the 1980s and 1990s.
