D03 · Rest of Central Region

Queenstown / Tiong Bahru / Alexandra

Singapore's oldest satellite town, now a CCR-adjacent redevelopment corridor.

District 3 covers Queenstown, Tiong Bahru, Redhill and Alexandra -- one of Singapore's earliest planned HDB estates, now seeing a wave of new condo launches and mixed-use redevelopment while keeping its low-rise, heritage Tiong Bahru core.

Tends to suit

  • Buyers who want CCR-adjacent convenience without full Orchard/River Valley pricing
  • Fans of the Tiong Bahru heritage/cafe precinct
  • Buyers tracking Queenstown's ongoing HDB and private redevelopment pipeline

Trade-offs to weigh

  • Heritage conservation areas (Tiong Bahru) restrict what can be built or altered
  • New launches in this district have drawn strong demand, so entry pricing reflects that interest
  • Older HDB blocks vary widely in lease remaining -- check this individually

MRT / transit

  • East-West Line
  • Circle Line

Notable schools nearby

  • Queenstown Primary School
  • New Town Primary School

Common property types

  • HDB flats (mixed lease age)
