13 condos have at least one block within 1km of the school, measured the way MOE does. Tap a number to see it on the map. We list new launches and every condo with a resale in the last 2 years.
Sizes: 2-bed about 600 to 900 sqft, 3-bed about 900 to 1,350 sqft, 4-bed about 1,350 to 1,800 sqft, 5-bed about 1,800 to 2,600 sqft (URA records area, not bedrooms). New launch prices are the cheapest unit left of that type.
No condo within 1km matches. Try a higher budget or another size.
Only OneMap School Query gives the official distance, and it can differ block by block. For new launches it is based on the approved building plan, which OneMap updates every June. Send us the condo and block, and we will check it on OneMap for you.
Numbers match the list (zoom in to see them where there are many condos). The shaded area is drawn from the school's land boundary (OneMap data, June 2026) as a guide. Always confirm your block on OneMap School Query.

Will living nearby help my child get into CHIJ (Kellock)?
In 2025, every child who applied in Phase 2C got a place. No ballot was needed.
From the 2027 exercise (children starting P1 in 2028), MOE will reserve 60 Phase 2C places at schools with at least 180 P1 places, up from 40. CHIJ (Kellock) had 180 places in 2025, so this should apply here.
Latest official MOE data: 2025 P1 Registration Exercise, for children who started P1 in 2026.
How P1 places are given out
- Phases go in order. Children with a brother or sister in the school go first (Phase 1). Next come children with other links to the school, such as alumni or staff (Phase 2A), then parent volunteers and church, clan or grassroots links (Phase 2B).
- Phase 2C is open to everyone else. Most families who buy a home near a school register here, so this is where your home address matters most.
- If there are more children than places, Singapore Citizens living within 1km get priority, then citizens 1km to 2km away, then citizens further away, then Permanent Residents in the same order. The ballot is held in the group where the places run out.

Buying a home for P1: the address rules
Buying resale
You can register with a resale condo you are buying once you have exercised the Option to Purchase and paid stamp duty. You must live there from the start of your child's P1 year.
Buying a new launch
The handover date in your sales contract (the vacant possession date) must be within 2 years of your child starting P1. MOE does not accept an expected completion date. You must move in within those 2 years.
The 30-month stay
If your child gets a place through home-school distance, you must live at that address for at least 30 months. For a new property, the 30 months start when you move in.

Common questions
Which condos are closest to CHIJ (Kellock)?
The nearest are Avenue South Residence, Harbour Suites, Teresa Ville. Distances run from the school's land boundary to the nearest block, the way MOE measures.
Does living within 1km guarantee a place?
No. Living within 1km gives priority within a phase, not a guaranteed place. At CHIJ (Kellock), citizens within 1km all got a place in Phase 2C in 2025, but demand changes every year.
How is the 1km measured?
MOE uses the shortest distance from the school's land boundary to your block's outline, as shown on OneMap School Query. We follow the same method, using school boundaries from OneMap (June 2026 data). Blocks in the same condo can fall on different sides of 1km, so check your exact block on OneMap School Query.
What do "2-bed size", "3-bed size" and so on mean?
URA's records show floor area, not bedrooms. We group recent resales by size: 2-bed size is about 600 to 900 sqft, 3-bed size about 900 to 1,350 sqft, 4-bed size about 1,350 to 1,800 sqft and 5-bed size about 1,800 to 2,600 sqft. Older condos often have bigger rooms, so a unit this size may have fewer bedrooms. Check the floor plan.
Is the new launch information final?
No. A new launch's official distance depends on each block's approved building plan, which can change, and OneMap updates its data every June. Confirm your block on OneMap School Query and get the unit's official address from the developer before you commit.
