Parkwood Residences is a boutique development of 18 apartments in a single five-storey block with an attic, at 208 Yio Chu Kang Road. The site covers about 14,133 sqft, and the scheme includes a swimming pool — a level of private provision that only makes economic sense when a plot is shared among 18 owners rather than several hundred. Ronny Chin Architects designed the building, with unit types spanning two to five bedrooms.

The site has a history worth knowing: it was formerly Toho Green, acquired through a collective sale. That is how a plot large enough for a low-rise block with a pool became available on this stretch of Yio Chu Kang Road, where sites of that size rarely come to market otherwise. The building is deliberately low-rise, so it sits within the surrounding landed and low-density fabric rather than towering over it.

For a small development, the school catchment is unusually strong. Rosyth School — one of Singapore's better-known primary schools — is about 709m away and inside the one-kilometre priority radius, with XinMin Primary roughly 943m and Zhonghua Primary around 980m. For secondary education, Bowen Secondary is about 464m away, Serangoon Garden Secondary roughly 788m and Peicai Secondary around 1,015m.

Daily needs are covered locally rather than requiring a car. FairPrice is about 469m away, with a further supermarket roughly 728m and Prime Supermarket around 923m, and the Serangoon Gardens and Chomp Chomp eating districts are within easy reach. There is no MRT station within a kilometre — Serangoon on the North East and Circle lines is the practical rail option, reached by bus or a short drive. The development completed in 2023 and all 18 units have been sold, so the active market is resale.
