Toa Payoh is in Singapore postal District 12 (postal sectors 31 to 33, with Balestier and Serangoon). Toa Payoh and Braddell stations on the North-South Line serve the town. Its newest private launch, The Orie, sold 86% of 777 units at an average S$2,704 psf in January 2025.
Updated 29 September 2026. Every figure below is dated and sourced. An earlier version of this page quoted district psf medians, rental yields and transaction counts that we could not trace to any source; they have been removed.
Which postal district is Toa Payoh in?
The official list of postal districts (source: SingPost) gives District 12 as postal sectors 31, 32 and 33, labelled "Balestier, Toa Payoh, Serangoon". A postal code's first two digits are its sector.
| Place | Postal code (OneMap) | District |
|---|---|---|
| Toa Payoh MRT (NS19), 510 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh | 319398 | 12 |
| Braddell MRT (NS18), 377 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh | 319756 | 12 |
| HDB Hub, 480 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh | 310480 | 12 |
| The Orie, 10 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh | 319974 | 12 |
| Caldecott MRT (CC17), 38 Toa Payoh Rise | 298113 | 11 |
| Potong Pasir MRT (NE10), 55 Upper Serangoon Road | 347694 | 13 |
So "Toa Payoh" in a listing does not always mean District 12. Caldecott station, on Toa Payoh Rise, has a District 11 postal code, and Potong Pasir and Woodleigh are District 13. Check the postal code, not the estate name.
Which MRT stations serve Toa Payoh?
| Station | Line | Stops to Orchard | Stops to Raffles Place |
|---|---|---|---|
| Braddell (NS18) | North-South Line | 4 | 8 |
| Toa Payoh (NS19) | North-South Line | 3 | 7 |
| Caldecott (CC17/TE9), District 11 | Circle Line and Thomson-East Coast Line | n/a (change lines) | n/a (change lines) |
Stop counts are our count along the North-South Line (Orchard is NS22, Raffles Place NS26). Caldecott, on the town's western edge, is an interchange between the Circle Line and the Thomson-East Coast Line; it is not on the North-South Line. An earlier version of this page said the TEL meets the North-South Line at Caldecott, and that Raffles Place is six stops from Toa Payoh. Both were wrong.

Families who gain a place through distance priority must live at the registered address for at least 30 months. Check a specific address on OneMap; living in Toa Payoh does not by itself put a home within 1 km of any particular school.
What is being built in Toa Payoh?
Sport Singapore announced on 5 January 2025 that the Toa Payoh Integrated Development is expected to be completed in 2030. It will bring together:
- a 10,000-seat stadium, a 2,000-seat aquatic centre and a 5,000-seat indoor sports hall with 22 badminton courts;
- a redeveloped polyclinic and public library;
- a rejuvenated Toa Payoh Town Park.
EdgeProp's launch report notes that The Orie's completion in 2030 lines up with it; CDL's launch release cites the development as a nearby amenity.
What should buyers weigh in Toa Payoh?
These are trade-offs, not recommendations:
- Walking distance varies. Lorong 1 and Lorong 4 sit near Braddell station; the town centre sits on top of Toa Payoh station. Other pockets are further away: Kim Keat Avenue is about 1.2 km in a straight line from Toa Payoh station (our measurement from OneMap coordinates).
- Old and new stock side by side. Many flats and older condos have much shorter remaining leases than The Orie. That affects CPF usage and loans; see our lease decay explainer.
- District label versus reality. Nearby Novena and Thomson are District 11. See our Novena district guide and the guide to all 28 districts.
