Hudson Place Residences 1km Primary Schools 2026 – Family Catchment Guide

Reading Time: 3 minutes

For families planning their next property purchase in Singapore, few factors carry as much weight as proximity to top primary schools. Hudson Place Residences, launching in 2026, has emerged as a standout contender in the One-North precinct, thanks to its exceptional school catchment. With three highly sought-after primary schools falling within the 1km priority radius, this development offers a rare combination of modern living and educational convenience. In this guide, we break down exactly which schools are within reach, how the Phase 2C balloting strategy works, and what families need to know before making a move. Whether you are a first-time parent or upgrading to secure a spot for your child, Hudson Place Residences deserves a close look.

1km Primary Schools (Priority Radius)

The Ministry of Education (MOE) grants priority admission for Phase 2C to children whose parents have lived within 1km of the school for at least 30 months. Hudson Place Residences sits in a sweet spot where three established primary schools are all within walking distance. Here are the details:

• Henry Park Primary School – SAP school, mature track record, ~600m walk
• Fairfield Methodist Primary School – established Methodist school, ~700m walk
• New Town Primary School – solid neighbourhood school, ~900m walk

Each of these schools has a strong reputation, but Henry Park Primary is particularly well-regarded for its bilingual programme and consistent academic performance. Fairfield Methodist offers a nurturing environment with a focus on values-based education, while New Town Primary provides a reliable neighbourhood option with a warm community feel. The proximity of all three within a 1km radius means families have multiple strong choices without needing to travel far.

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

While primary school catchment is the main draw, families with older children or those planning ahead will appreciate the secondary schools within 1-2km. These institutions are especially relevant for Phase 2A and Phase 2B priority, where siblings of current students get an advantage. Notable schools include:

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

NUS High is a specialised school for students with a strong aptitude in math and science, offering a unique curriculum that leads to a NUS High School Diploma. Hwa Chong Institution is one of the top Integrated Programme schools in Singapore, known for its rigorous academics and vibrant co-curricular activities. Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) is another prestigious institution with a long history of excellence. Having these options within a short distance adds significant long-term value for families.

Tertiary Institutions Nearby

Beyond primary and secondary education, Hudson Place Residences is also well-positioned for university-bound students and academics. The development benefits from its location near the Buona Vista MRT interchange, which provides direct access to several tertiary institutions:

• 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

This connectivity makes Hudson Place an attractive option not just for families with young children, but also for those who work or study at these institutions. The presence of a major university hub also supports rental demand, which is a bonus for investors.

Phase 2C Balloting Strategy

For families banking on Phase 2C balloting priority for Henry Park Primary or Fairfield Methodist Primary, a clear strategy is essential. Phase 2C is the stage where children without prior connections to the school (such as alumni or older siblings) compete for places based on residency proximity. Here are the key steps:

1. Confirm your child’s age and the Phase 2C eligibility window – typically when your child turns 5 to 6 years old for Primary 1 registration.
2. Move into Hudson Place Residences with at least 30 months of residency before Phase 2C registration. This is the typical practical buffer to ensure you meet MOE’s residency requirement.
3. Maintain continuous residency throughout Phase 2C – do not rent out the property or temporarily relocate, as this may affect your eligibility.
4. Verify the catchment annually, as MOE may refresh school boundaries. Use the MOE School Information Service to confirm that your specific unit is still within the 1km radius.

It is also wise to have a backup plan. If you miss out on Phase 2C balloting, you can consider Phase 2A (if an older sibling is enrolled) or Phase 2B (if parents or grandparents are alumni). However, for most families without prior school connections, Phase 2C is the primary route. By planning ahead and securing a home at Hudson Place Residences, you maximise your chances of getting into your preferred school.
