D06 · Core Central Region

City Hall / Clarke Quay

The civic and riverside core, with almost no homes.

District 6 is the smallest, tightest district -- City Hall, the Padang, the Supreme Court and the Singapore River from Clarke Quay to Boat Quay. It is civic buildings, hotels and nightlife, with only a handful of residential addresses.

Tends to suit

  • Buyers who want to be at the geographic centre of the city, on the river
  • Investors chasing a rare address in a supply-starved micro-market
  • Anyone who wants a walkable base for the Civic District's museums and theatres

Trade-offs to weigh

  • Extremely limited residential stock -- often only one or two projects trading at a time
  • Clarke Quay nightlife brings noise on weekend evenings
  • No schools or family amenities within the district itself

MRT / transit

  • North-South Line
  • East-West Line (City Hall)
  • North-East Line
  • Circle Line (Clarke Quay)

Notable schools nearby

  • Stamford Primary School (D08 fringe)

Common property types

  • A few boutique riverside condos
  • Serviced residences
