Admiralty keeps abreast of contemporary housing in the town. It residents enjoy the convenience of the Admiralty MRT transit station, similar to that of Woodlands MRT Station, built solely for the SMRT train. Admiralty offers a rather reasonable quiet and organised housing, with well-designed apartments. It houses citizens who opt for government housing through the Housing and Development Board's plans, instead of purchasing apartments via private agencies, which often costs more but requires a shorter waiting time: Opting for government housing often takes months to process and space is limited only to newly built housing flats.
