Introduction
Narra Residences is a 540-unit new launch condo at Dairy Farm Walk that places residents at the doorstep of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Dairy Farm Nature Park – and this Narra Residences review examines whether the nature living promise, Hillview MRT walk, and record-setting PSF pricing justify the asking price for families and investors in 2026.
This is an in-depth, data-backed review aimed at owner-occupiers, upgraders, and investors weighing Narra Residences against comparable options like Dairy Farm Residences, The Botany at Dairy Farm, and broader Bukit Timah alternatives. We focus on what matters most when committing seven figures to a nature-fringe address in District 23: daily liveability, realistic transport access, unit layouts, pricing benchmarks, and long-term exit strategy.
The short version: Narra Residences targets families seeking nature-oriented living and best suits nature-focused owner occupiers willing to trade bustling city life proximity for forest-edge tranquillity. Walking distance to Hillview MRT station is approximately 10–13 minutes on foot (shorter by bicycle), and the average price per square foot for Narra Residences is around S$2,166 to S$2,353 depending on stack, floor, and bedroom type. The development appeals to expatriate families due to nearby international schools such as German European School Singapore.

Understanding Narra Residences and the Dairy Farm Walk Micro-Market
The Dairy Farm area has transformed significantly in recent years. What was once the site of the former Cold Storage dairy farm – which operated until the 1970s, with no active farms existing today – has evolved into a nature-fringe condo cluster anchored by three major launches and an integrated mall. Singapore’s Dairy Farm area reflects its agricultural history rather than current farming operations, and the enclave now offers a harmonious blend of modern living and protected nature reserves that is difficult to replicate elsewhere on the island.
Narra Residences is a 99-year leasehold condo located at 50–64 Dairy Farm Walk, District 23 (Outside Central Region). Launched in Q1 2026 with vacant possession expected around early 2030, the project delivers 540 residential units plus 4 strata retail shops across seven blocks, positioned within a serene enclave that borders some of Singapore’s most significant nature parks.
Narra Residences at a Glance
The development is a consortium led by Santarli Realty, Apex Asia Development, Soon Li Heng, and Kay Lim Realty – a group that won the Government Land Sales (GLS) site with a land bid of S$504.52 million (approximately S$1,020 psf ppr).
Key facts at a glance:
-
Site area: The development site spans approximately 235,448 square feet, with a plot ratio of 2.25
-
How many units: 540 residential units across 7 blocks (mix of 6-storey, 13-storey, and 16-storey towers), plus 4 strata retail units forming “Cari Walk”
-
Tenure: 99-year lease from 1 July 2025
-
Expected TOP: Early 2030
-
Unit types: Narra Residences offers eleven different unit types for diverse buyer profiles – from 1-bedroom + study through to 5-bedroom private lift units
-
Launch response: The preview weekend in January 2026 drew approximately 3,500 visitors, with roughly 25–27% of units sold during launch weekend. By August–September 2026, about 41–42% of units had sold (approximately 223–225 units)
-
Average launch price: S$2,180 psf – a record for Dairy Farm
The Dairy Farm Walk & Bukit Timah Nature Fringe Context
Dairy Farm Walk occupies a distinctive pocket between Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Dairy Farm Nature Park, and the Rail Corridor. Unlike the more urbanised centres of Bukit Panjang or Beauty World – which offer denser commercial activity and HDB town-centre amenities – this neighbourhood is defined by its low-density residential feel and direct access to protected green corridors. Residents near Dairy Farm enjoy a tranquil environment with a low-density residential feel that is increasingly rare in Singapore.
The surrounding residential stock provides useful context. Dairy Farm Residences – an integrated development with a mall at its base – achieved TOP around 2024 and established the enclave’s first integrated retail-condo offering. The Botany at Dairy Farm launched in 2021 and now trades on the resale market. Older Hillview condos like Midwood round out the neighbourhood comparison set.
Planning intent for this corridor is firmly nature-protective: low-rise landed edges line one side of Dairy Farm Road, while the mid-rise condo spine sits between the road network and the reserve. Zoning includes mandatory greenery buffers, and there are limited future high-rise plots available – meaning the lush surroundings visible from Narra today are unlikely to be obstructed by future development.
This nature-fringe context is precisely what shapes Narra’s core value proposition – and the daily lifestyle experience that comes with it.
Nature-Edge Living: How “Green” Is Life at Narra Residences?
Living in the Dairy Farm enclave allows for a unique blend of nature and suburban convenience. But the critical question for prospective buyers is whether the “green” marketing translates into genuine daily lifestyle value. Having examined the site’s positioning relative to nearby parks, trails, and urban amenities, the answer is substantively yes – with important caveats about practical trade-offs.
Proximity to Parks, Trails and the Rail Corridor
Dairy Farm Nature Park spans 75 hectares and features numerous hiking and biking trails, and it sits virtually at Narra’s eastern boundary. From certain edges of the development, the Dairy Farm Park Connector is approximately a 1-minute walk, while the park itself is roughly a 3-minute cycle. The Rail Corridor – Singapore’s 24-kilometre green spine – is about a 5-minute cycle, providing residents with ample opportunities for commuting by bicycle, leisure runs, or weekend rides connecting Hillview to Bukit Timah and beyond.
The location of Narra Residences provides seamless access to the Central Catchment nature network. From the site, residents can reach the quarry lookout, Bukit Timah summit trails, and Zhenghua Park connectors on foot or by bicycle. The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve summit – Singapore’s highest natural point – is accessible via established trail networks that begin just minutes from the development.
Stack selection matters significantly for the nature experience. Forest-facing stacks along the eastern edge enjoy unblocked green views with minimal traffic noise and strong privacy. Internal or pool-facing stacks are more sheltered but offer less dramatic greenery frontage. Block separation distances of approximately 63 metres in many parts of the site ensure that even internal-facing units benefit from generous light, airflow, and visual breathing room.
Everyday Wellness and Family-Friendly Outdoors
The nature-fringe location offers families concrete opportunities to build outdoor activities into weekly routines:
-
Morning wellness: Jogs or walks into Bukit Timah Nature Reserve or Dairy Farm Nature Park before work or school – realistic given the 1–3 minute access times from the site boundary
-
Weekend cycling: Routes from Narra to Hillview, Bukit Panjang, and Beauty World via park connectors and the Rail Corridor provide varied terrain and distances suitable for families with children
-
Children’s outdoor exposure: Dairy Farm Nature Park offers various outdoor recreational activities including hiking and cycling. Schools with forest-school-style programmes exist in the vicinity – notably German European School Singapore (GESS) – appealing to families who value nature-integrated education
The trade-offs are real but manageable. A location this close to primary forest means higher humidity during monsoon seasons, more insect activity, and occasional wildlife encounters (monkeys are common along certain trails near the reserve). Maintenance of landscaped areas adjacent to forest edges also requires more attention. That said, ambient noise is predominantly natural – birdsong, rain, and the occasional weekend trail user – rather than traffic or commercial activity.
Balancing Tranquillity with Urban Convenience
Compared with inner-city condos or even Bukit Panjang town centre, Narra’s ambient noise and density levels are notably lower. This peaceful retreat quality is precisely what draws nature-focused buyers – but it does come at the cost of immediate urban convenience.
On-site, the Cari Walk strata retail component is expected to house daily essentials – likely a minimart, café, and possibly childcare or services – providing residents with walk-out convenience for basics. However, it is not a full-service mall. Dairy Farm Mall and nearby retail options provide basic shopping but do not offer extensive nightlife or the kind of dining variety found in mature town centres.
The key practical test for buyers considering this address is whether the walkability to Hillview MRT station and nearby malls is sufficient for daily life – a question that deserves detailed examination.
Walkability, Transport & Daily Convenience
Now that Narra’s greenery appeal is clear, the critical question becomes: how easy is it to reach the MRT, malls, and schools without a car? For a nature-anchored address, transport connectivity determines whether day-to-day life feels like a peaceful retreat or an isolated one.
Walking to Hillview MRT: Is It Realistic Daily?
Hillview MRT station on the Downtown Line is approximately 1.0–1.2 km from Narra Residences, depending on your specific block. In practice, this translates to around 10–13 minutes of walking for an average adult at normal pace, which may feel like a short walk for some residents, though comfort will depend on the weather, slope, and personal tolerance.
The route involves typical suburban streets with slight slopes, a mix of sheltered and unsheltered stretches, and at least one significant road crossing at Upper Bukit Timah Road or Dairy Farm Road. For school-going children or elderly residents, the walk is doable but not entirely comfortable – particularly during hot afternoons or heavy rain.
From Hillview station, the Downtown Line provides direct access to several key employment and lifestyle nodes:
-
Beauty World: ~5 minutes
-
Botanic Gardens: ~15 minutes
-
Bugis: ~25–30 minutes
-
Downtown / CBD: ~30 minutes
This represents decent but not doorstep MRT connectivity. Buyers who commute daily via MRT should physically walk the route before committing – the experience differs meaningfully from reading a distance figure.
Driving, Buses and Connectivity to the Rest of Singapore
For car owners, the strategic location provides access to major expressways via Dairy Farm Road, connecting to the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) and Pan Island Expressway (PIE). Off-peak driving times are approximately:
-
Orchard / CBD: 15–25 minutes
-
Jurong Gateway / Jurong East: ~15 minutes
-
Woodlands: ~15–20 minutes
Bus stops along Dairy Farm Road and Upper Bukit Timah serve routes toward Bukit Panjang Interchange, Hillion Mall, and the Bukit Timah corridor, though frequency may thin during off-peak hours.
Car-park provision is expected at approximately a 1:1 ratio with EV charging lots included – standard for new launches in 2026. One consideration: potential congestion along Dairy Farm Walk during peak hours, particularly once the upcoming primary school in the vicinity begins operations. Morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up traffic could affect the access roads.
Groceries, Malls and Day-to-Day Amenities
Day-to-day convenience at Narra follows a clear hierarchy:
-
On-site (Cari Walk): Strata retail likely housing a minimart, café, and basic services – sufficient for immediate daily needs but not a substitute for a full shopping trip
-
Within 5 minutes (drive or cycle): Dairy Farm Mall with FairPrice Finest, clinics, and casual eateries. The Rail Mall offers additional F&B variety
-
Within a short drive or MRT ride: Hillion Mall, Bukit Panjang Plaza, and the Beauty World food belt and market for wider shopping, dining, and services
Living in the Dairy Farm enclave allows for a unique blend of nature and suburban convenience, but food and shopping variety is genuinely less than what mature town centres offer. Narra Residences is positioned as an entry point for suburban living compared to city-fringe developments – expect a “quiet suburb” rhythm rather than 24/7 bustle.
Family profiles and school needs will strongly influence whether this location works. The close proximity of primary schools (including Bukit Panjang Primary and CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace) and GESS is a significant pull factor, but families reliant on extensive after-school enrichment infrastructure may find the neighbourhood less self-contained than Bukit Timah proper.
Unit Mix, Layouts & Nature-Focused Facilities
Narra’s site planning and product design are clearly tailored to serve the nature-anchored family lifestyle that the location promises. The architecture draws inspiration from nearby natural elements, and the developer has allocated significant site area to landscape and communal green space rather than maximising built footprint.
Site Planning, Architecture & Facilities
The seven residential blocks are arranged around a central pool and landscape spine that visually extends the forest edge into the development. The site dedicates about 66% to landscaping and open space – a generous proportion that reinforces the lush greenery experience from within the compound, not just from units facing the reserve.
Vehicular access and pedestrian/nature zones are separated where possible, with landscape buffers along edges bordering the reserve to suppress noise and create a gradual transition from built environment to forest. The arrival court is designed to set a nature-integrated tone from the moment residents enter.
Key family- and wellness-oriented facilities include:
-
50-metre lap pool positioned with views toward the green boundary
-
Fully equipped gym overlooking greenery
-
Children’s pool and playgrounds in dedicated family zones
-
Three function rooms available for residents’ private events
-
Golf simulator – a distinctive amenity for the district
-
BBQ pavilions, tennis court, and sensory wellness spaces
The development includes a fully equipped gym and leisure pool deck that feel more resort-adjacent than typical suburban condo offerings – largely because the forest backdrop is genuine rather than landscaped.
Unit Mix Overview: Who Narra Is Designed For
The unit mix reveals clearly who the developer expects to buy:
|
Bedroom Type |
Approximate Share |
Target Buyer |
|---|---|---|
|
2-Bedroom (with/without study) |
~49.1% of units |
Young couples, small families, investors |
|
3-Bedroom (compact, flexi, premium) |
Core share |
Upgraders, long-term owner-occupiers |
|
4-Bedroom |
Smaller share |
Larger families |
|
5-Bedroom (private lift) |
Limited units |
Multi-generational, high-income families |
Two-bedroom units make up 49.1% of the unit mix – the largest share – reflecting demand from young couples and the project’s suitability for price-sensitive buyers looking for affordable homes. The project is suitable for price-sensitive buyers looking for affordable homes given that Narra Residences’ indicative prices start from $998,000 (1-bedroom + study, now fully sold), with two-bedroom units starting from $1.339 million.
GFA harmonisation rules mean units avoid AC ledges in strata area, improving the ratio of usable interior space to total strata area. Units have ceiling heights of 2.8 metres throughout, providing residents with a sense of spaciousness. General orientation favours north–south facing to minimise western sun exposure, with stacks categorised as nature-facing, pool-facing, or internal courtyard.
Layout Highlights: Practicality for Nature-Loving Families
2-Bedroom + Study (~560–650 sq ft): Efficient corridor design with enclosed or semi-enclosed kitchen, a small balcony, and a flexible study space that works for WFH setups or a nursery. The household shelter provides additional storage flexibility. Best suited for young couples planning for a first child or smaller households who want nature-fringe living at the lowest quantum entry point.
3-Bedroom Premium (~900–1,050 sq ft): Enclosed kitchen with window, household shelter, two bathrooms, and bedrooms sized to comfortably fit queen or king beds. Three-bedroom units are priced from $2.059 million. The layout supports daily routines – school morning staging areas, dedicated WFH corners, and enough living/dining space for weekend hosting. This is the core upgrader product and likely where the strongest owner-occupier demand concentrates.
5-Bedroom with Private Lift (~1,400+ sq ft): Private lift lobby, dry and wet kitchen separation, large balcony facing lush greenery, and multiple ensuites designed for multi-generational families. This product is rare in a nature-fronting fringe location – comparable private lift units in inner Bukit Timah command significantly higher quantum but may lack the same direct access to protected green spaces. Forest-facing 5-bedroom stacks are likely to command the strongest long-term desirability.
Each layout tier occupies a different PSF band, and understanding how these bands compare to the broader market is essential before committing.
PSF, Quantum & Value: How Narra Compares in 2026
Average launch price is $2,180 psf, a record for Dairy Farm – which naturally raises the question of whether Narra is fairly priced, stretched, or offering genuine value. A nuanced comparison requires considering the nature frontage, Downtown Line access, newer GFA rules (which improve efficiency), and the project’s positioning within the District 23 micro-market.
Launch Pricing Snapshot & Current Indicative PSF
The GLS winning bid in January 2025 at S$504.52 million (~S$1,020 psf ppr) established the cost base. For historical comparison, united engineers secured the Dairy Farm Residences site in a 2018 government land tender at S$368.8 million, or about S$830 psf ppr, highlighting the lower land-cost base of the earlier project versus Narra. From there, the developer priced the average price at launch around S$2,180 psf, with the average price per square foot for Narra Residences ranging from around S$2,166 to S$2,353 depending on stack, floor level, and unit type.
|
Bedroom Type |
Indicative Starting Quantum |
Typical PSF Range |
|---|---|---|
|
1-Bed + Study |
From S$998,000 (fully sold) |
~S$2,080–2,150 |
|
2-Bedroom Compact |
From ~S$1.339 million |
~S$2,080–2,200 |
|
3-Bedroom |
From ~S$2.059 million |
~S$2,100–2,250 |
|
4-Bedroom |
From ~S$2.448 million |
~S$2,150–2,300 |
|
5-Bed Private Lift |
From ~S$3.888 million |
~S$2,200–2,350+ |
The latest recorded transaction (October 2026) showed a 1,001 sq ft unit selling at approximately S$2,411 psf – costing around S$2.414 million – suggesting that pricing has held firm or edged upward since launch for desirable stacks.
Comparing Narra with Dairy Farm Residences, The Botany & Nearby Bukit Timah
|
Project |
Tenure / TOP / Units |
PSF (Launch → Recent) |
Key Differences vs Narra |
|---|---|---|---|
|
The Botany at Dairy Farm |
99-yr, TOP 2024, ~386 units |
Launch S$1,890–2,050 → Resales S$2,180–2,320 psf |
Earlier entry price; now established with resale track record; fewer large unit types |
|
Midwood (Hillview Rise) |
99-yr, TOP ~2023 |
Generally ~4–7% below Narra for comparable stacks |
Lower quantum; closer to some amenities; less park frontage; some road noise |
|
District 23 Resale Average |
Mixed stock |
Median ~S$1,460 psf |
~49% below Narra; older stock, less efficient layouts, fewer nature-belt features |
Narra sits at a premium to earlier Dairy Farm launches – justified by higher land cost, newer GFA rules, and arguably the strongest park-front narrative in the enclave. That comparison also looks firmer when you consider Sim Lian Group‘s 386-unit Botany drew strong launch demand, which underlines proven buyer appetite for new homes in this pocket. However, it trades at a meaningful discount to freehold or centrally located new launches in inner Bukit Timah despite sharing access to the same Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
For nature-loving owner occupiers, Narra’s PSF feels fair relative to what the lifestyle delivers. For yield-focused investors expecting rapid capital appreciation, the record entry PSF leaves limited margin – particularly when The Botany’s resale transactions demonstrate where the secondary market currently prices similar product.
Monthly Affordability & Mortgage Considerations
Buyers should stress-test affordability carefully:
-
2-bedroom at ~S$1.34M: Assuming ~75% LTV loan at ~3% interest over 25 years, monthly repayment is approximately S$4,800–S$5,500 (principal + interest)
-
3-bedroom at ~S$2.05M: Monthly repayment approximately S$7,500–S$8,500 on similar assumptions
Progressive payment schedules during the 2026–2030 construction period provide some cashflow relief, as buyers pay in stages rather than full quantum upfront. However, buyers must account for stamp duty, property tax, maintenance and conservancy charges, and the possibility of interest rate increases before TOP.

Investment Case, Future Demand & Exit Strategy
Synthesising location, lifestyle, and PSF data, Narra Residences is fundamentally a lifestyle buy that carries moderate investment upside – rather than a high-yield investment play. The distinction matters for how buyers should evaluate their commitment.
Demand Drivers: What Supports Narra Over the Next 10–15 Years
Several structural factors support long-term demand:
-
Permanent green frontage: Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Dairy Farm Nature Park are protected under master planning and cannot be developed. This creates an enduring “moat” around the nature premium that Narra commands – the lush greenery visible today will remain in 2040
-
Downtown Line connectivity: Hillview MRT station provides excellent connectivity to the city centre, with ongoing Beauty World and Upper Bukit Timah rejuvenation adding commercial and F&B amenities that lift neighbourhood desirability over time
-
School-driven demand: Close proximity to German European School Singapore, Bukit Panjang Primary, and CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace anchors consistent family demand – particularly from expatriate households
-
Limited future supply: Few land parcels remain in the immediate Dairy Farm Walk micro-pocket that can deliver comparable nature-fringe, MRT-connected condos at this scale. This supply constraint supports pricing resilience
The vicinity also benefits from the historical character of the former Ford Factory (now a heritage gallery) and the broader cultural significance of the Bukit Timah corridor, adding neighbourhood depth beyond pure residential utility.
Risks, Competition & Leasehold Considerations
A candid assessment must address real risks:
-
Record entry PSF: The highest launch PSF in Dairy Farm history may cap upside during the first 5–7 years of resale, especially if interest rates remain elevated and dampen buyer sentiment
-
Competition from multiple sources: Remaining unsold developer units within Narra itself (~320+ units as of late 2026), plus resale supply from Dairy Farm Residences, The Botany, and Hillview/Bukit Panjang condos, create alternatives for buyers
-
99-year lease depreciation: The lease begins ticking from July 2025. Over long holding periods (20+ years), the declining tenure will increasingly factor into resale pricing – a disadvantage compared with freehold or higher-tenure projects in the broader Bukit Timah belt
-
Rental market limitations: While school- and nature-driven expatriate demand supports rentals, this is not a major employment hub. Larger units (4- and 5-bedroom) may attract a narrower tenant pool and take longer to lease
Exit Strategy Scenarios for Different Buyer Profiles
Family buying a 3-bedroom to stay 8–12 years: The strongest case for Narra. Lifestyle value – daily nature access, school convenience, space, and quiet – is immediately realised. Resale after 8–12 years targets the next generation of nature-loving upgraders. Modest capital appreciation is likely, though buyers should not expect outsized gains above the premium already paid.
Investor buying a 2-bedroom compact: Hold through TOP, enter the rental market targeting young professionals or expatriate couples drawn to the nature lifestyle. Yield will likely be moderate (estimated 2.5–3.5% gross). Resale in 5–7 years targets mid-income upgraders. Prefer lower-floor, efficient-layout stacks with practical walking distance to Hillview MRT for stronger tenant appeal.
Multi-generational buyer taking a 4- or 5-bedroom with private lift: Long-horizon hold where resale PSF is secondary to intergenerational living quality. Forest-facing stacks with unblocked reserve views, quiet positions away from Dairy Farm Road, and higher floors are likely to command the strongest resale premiums when the time eventually comes.
Not all buyer types will benefit equally from Narra – clarity on whether this development fits your specific profile is essential.
Who Should Consider Narra Residences (And Who Shouldn’t)
Rather than generic marketing appeal, here is a candid fit–no fit assessment based on the data and lifestyle realities examined throughout this review.
Best-Fit Buyer Profiles
Nature-anchored families: Parents who genuinely prioritise daily access to trails, forests, and lower-density surroundings over malls and F&B at their doorstep. Children engaged in outdoor activities benefit enormously from the nature parks network. This is not a lifestyle you can replicate at most Singapore condos.
School-driven households: Families seeking close proximity to the Bukit Timah education belt – particularly German European School Singapore and nearby primary schools. The combination of international school access and nature-fringe living is a strong expatriate draw.
HDB/Bukit Panjang upgraders: Those who value a step-up in lifestyle, new facilities, and lush greenery, and who are comfortable with a 99-year lease and fringe location. Narra represents a meaningful quality-of-life improvement over older HDB stock in the district without requiring freehold Bukit Timah pricing.
Large-format buyers: Multi-generational families attracted to 4- and 5-bedroom layouts with private lift, willing to pay a premium for a forest-fringe home with the space and privacy that such configurations provide. These unit types are rare in nature-fronting locations.
Who May Want to Look Elsewhere
Yield-maximising investors: Those seeking top-end rental yields or proximity to major employment hubs (CBD, one-north, Changi) will likely find better risk-adjusted returns elsewhere. Narra’s nature premium is primarily a lifestyle premium, not a rental premium.
Doorstep-MRT and full-amenity buyers: People who expect integrated transport hubs, large malls, and vibrant F&B scenes immediately downstairs will find Dairy Farm Walk too quiet and potentially car-reliant. The 10–13 minute walk to Hillview station is manageable but not convenient in the way that integrated developments deliver.
Leasehold-averse buyers: Purchasers who insist on freehold or very central 99-year plots for generational holding or legacy planning should note that the lease begins from 2025 – and that nature-fringe appeal, while enduring, does not eliminate leasehold depreciation dynamics.
If you are unsure of fit, the most productive step is to shortlist 2–3 alternatives – one inner Bukit Timah option, one Hillview/Bukit Panjang option – and benchmark Narra against them systematically on lifestyle, PSF, and exit outlook.
Conclusion and Next Steps
Narra Residences offers something genuinely rare in Singapore’s new launch landscape: a sizeable, well-designed condo with direct access to protected nature reserves, served by Downtown Line connectivity, in a low-density district where future supply is constrained. The pricing – averaging S$2,180 psf at launch – sets a record for Dairy Farm and demands that buyers be confident in the nature-living value proposition rather than speculative upside. For families and owner occupiers who prioritise green spaces, outdoor activities, and quiet suburban living over urban convenience, Narra delivers substantive lifestyle value that few competing projects can match.
