Two adjacent Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) stations — Lentor and Springleaf — anchor a run of 99-year leasehold launches on the city's north. The pull is simple: a direct, no-transfer rail line into Orchard, the CBD, Marina Bay and eventually the East Coast, plus new retail at Lentor Modern, priced well below the prime districts. Here's the current slate.
The live options
| Project | Nearest MRT | From | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springleaf Residence | Springleaf | S$0.86M | Lowest entry in the corridor; ~940 units |
| Lentoria | Lentor | S$1.20M | Smaller, boutique scale (~267 units) |
| Hillock Green | Lentor | S$1.11M | Nearly sold out — only a handful left |

How to think about the three
Springleaf Residence — the low-quantum entry
If your priority is getting onto the TEL line with the smallest cheque, Springleaf Residence is the one to look at first. The sub-S$0.9M entry makes it one of the more accessible new launches in the north, and Springleaf itself keeps a green, low-rise character next to Springleaf Nature Park.
Lentoria — boutique scale at Lentor
Smaller developments trade some facilities for exclusivity and lower density. Lentoria sits right in the Lentor cluster with direct access to Lentor MRT and Lentor Modern's retail, and suits buyers who prefer a quieter, less crowded project.
Hillock Green — move fast or miss it
Hillock Green is in its final units. When a project sells down this far, the remaining stacks are usually specific — a few facings or sizes — so this is one where the live availability chart matters more than the brochure. Check it before you plan a viewing.
The corridor case in one line
Direct rail to town, new retail at your MRT, nature parks on your doorstep, and entry prices a tier below the central districts. For first-time buyers and investors who want connectivity without a prime-district cheque, the Lentor–Springleaf stretch is one of the clearest value stories on the TEL. If you're weighing north versus east, the District 15 comparison is a useful counterpoint.
