Which Marine Parade primary school has the most affordable HDB nearby?

Which primary school in Marine Parade is the hardest to get into?
Of the Marine Parade schools with published Phase 2C figures, Tao Nan was the most contested, balloting at 1.88× for Singapore Citizens within 1km in 2025. Ballot ratios are only published for the most sought-after schools, so a dash in the table means no published Phase 2C figure, not necessarily an easy school.
Do I need to live within 1km of the school to get my child in?
Not always, but it helps. Singapore's P1 registration gives admission priority by home-to-school distance: within 1km first, then 1-2km, then beyond 2km. For oversubscribed schools that ballot, living within 1km gives you the best position in the distance tie-breaks. For schools that take everyone, distance rarely matters.
Where does this data come from?
School locations and 2027 P1 places are from the Ministry of Education. Phase 2C 2025 ballot ratios (Singapore Citizens within 1km) are compiled by p1registration.sg from MOE P1 registration data, and are only published for the most sought-after schools. HDB resale prices are from data.gov.sg, refreshed monthly; each block's 4-room median is computed from its own transactions, then we take the catchment median across blocks within 1km.
