Reading Time: 3 minutes

For families planning their next move in Singapore, few considerations weigh as heavily as primary school proximity. The upcoming Hudson Place Residences, set to launch in 2026, has quickly emerged as a standout option for parents who want the security of being within the coveted 1km priority radius for multiple well-regarded primary schools. Located in the mature One-North precinct, this development offers more than just modern living — it provides a strategic foothold for Phase 2C balloting. In this guide, we break down every school within the 1km catchment, the balloting strategy you need to know, and how Hudson Place compares to neighbouring launches. Whether you are a first-time parent or upgrading to a school-friendly home, this article covers all the essential details.

1km Primary Schools (Priority Radius)

Hudson Place Residences sits in a sweet spot for school catchment. Within a comfortable walking distance, three primary schools fall inside the Ministry of Education’s 1km priority radius for Phase 2C registration. This gives families a strong advantage when vying for a place without alumni or grassroots connections.

• Henry Park Primary School – SAP school with a mature track record, approximately 600m walk
• Fairfield Methodist Primary School – Established Methodist school, approximately 700m walk
• New Town Primary School – Solid neighbourhood school, approximately 900m walk

All three schools are within a 10-minute stroll from the development, making morning drop-offs convenient and stress-free. Among these, Henry Park Primary is particularly sought after for its strong academic reputation and Special Assistance Plan (SAP) status, which emphasises bilingualism and Chinese language proficiency. Fairfield Methodist Primary offers a well-rounded education with a Christian ethos, while New Town Primary provides a reliable neighbourhood option with a warm community feel.

1–2km Secondary Schools (Priority Radius for Siblings)

For families with older children or those planning ahead for secondary education, the wider 2km radius includes some of Singapore’s most prestigious secondary schools. While Phase 2C priority for secondary schools is less common, the proximity can still benefit sibling admission under certain phases.

• NUS High School of Mathematics & Science – Elite specialised secondary, walking distance
• Hwa Chong Institution – Within 2km, established premium catchment
• Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) – Within 2km

NUS High School, in particular, is a draw for families with mathematically or scientifically inclined children. Its location just a short walk from Hudson Place means students can enjoy a short commute while benefiting from a rigorous curriculum. Hwa Chong Institution and Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) are both well-known for their strong academic and co-curricular programmes, adding further value to the catchment area.

Tertiary Institutions Nearby

Beyond primary and secondary education, Hudson Place Residences is also well-positioned for families with older children or parents pursuing further studies. The development’s location in One-North places it within easy reach of several tertiary institutions via public transport.

• National University of Singapore (NUS) – Direct access via Buona Vista MRT (Circle/EWL interchange)
• Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) – Direct rail access
• Singapore Management University (SMU) – 12 minutes via direct EWL

Buona Vista MRT station, just a short walk or bus ride away, serves as a major transport hub connecting to both the Circle Line and East-West Line. This makes commuting to NUS, SUTD, and SMU straightforward and time-efficient. For families with children who may eventually attend university, living at Hudson Place means they can stay at home while enjoying a short journey to campus.

Phase 2C Balloting Strategy

For families who do not have alumni connections or older siblings in the school, Phase 2C is the primary route to secure a place at a popular primary school. The key requirement is that the child must be living at the address within the 1km priority radius at the time of registration. Here is a practical strategy to maximise your chances:

• Confirm your child’s age and the Phase 2C eligibility window for the relevant year
• Move into Hudson Place Residences with at least 30 months of residency before Phase 2C registration
• Maintain continuous residency throughout Phase 2C — do not rent out the unit or temporarily relocate
• Verify the catchment boundaries annually, as MOE may refresh the school zones

This 30-month buffer is a commonly recommended timeframe to ensure that your residence is well-established and that any potential issues with address verification are avoided. It also gives you ample time to settle into the neighbourhood and prepare your child for primary school life. Keep in mind that MOE’s School Information Service is updated periodically, so it is wise to check the latest map before making any commitments.
