Where are the landed houses in Singapore? Identifying designated landed housing areas in Singapore

Short answer: URA SPACE!

Apparently there are 58 designated areas, but I could not find an "official list" from the URA website. Appeal to all readers, please let me know where to find an "official listing".

Based on the island-wide map, the pink areas are the designated landed areas. You can see these areas are quite scattered throughout the island, though concentrated in the Central and North-East region. Which area do you prefer ?

To check a property's locality, use the URA Space: Control Plans and Click on Filter to show Landed Housing area that it is in. See the illustration below on the Filter.

Landed Housing Area

The Master Plan is supported by Special and Detailed Control Plans (SDCP). SDCP are development control plans, which include Parks and Waterbodies, Public Spaces, Landed Housing Areas, Street Block, Envelop Control, Building Height and Urban Design, Conservation Areas, Conserved Buildings and Monuments, Connectivity, and Underground Plans, published by the competent authority.

Unlike the Master Plan, SDCP are non-statutory plans. They provide guidelines and controls for specific areas of development. URA uses these guidelines and controls in processing development applications. These plans are subject to revision from time to time as the competent authority deems expedient or necessary.

The Landed Housing Area Plan is drawn up to help retain the character of landed housing estates. From the Landed Housing Area Plan, you can find out the locations of these safeguarded estates and the type and storey height of housing that can be built in the estate.
