These terms refer to different types of HDB 3-room flats available in Singapore. Here's a breakdown to help you understand what each means:

* **Flat Types:**

* **3A, 3STD (Standard):** These are basic 3-room flats with a standard layout. 3A might be slightly newer than 3STD.
* **3NG (New Generation):** These flats offer an improved layout compared to standard 3-room flats, often with a squarer living area and better use of space.
* **3A (Modified), 3NG (Modified), 3I (Improved), 3I (Modified):** These are variations of the standard and new generation layouts, potentially incorporating additional features like extra bathrooms or improved balcony designs. The specific modifications can vary depending on the flat.
* **3S (Simplified):** These flats are designed with a more basic and functional layout, with a focus on affordability.

* **General Sequence:**

These terms are not strictly ordered by age, but generally, newer developments might have a higher proportion of NG, Modified or Improved variations. However, there can be exceptions.
