D10 · Core Central Region

Tanglin / Bukit Timah / Holland

Singapore's Good Class Bungalow belt and top-school corridor.

District 10 spans Tanglin, Bukit Timah, Holland Village and Dunearn -- home to most of Singapore's Good Class Bungalow (GCB) areas, a dense cluster of top primary schools, and established low-rise condo enclaves.

Tends to suit

  • Families prioritising 1km proximity to sought-after primary schools
  • Buyers of landed housing, including GCBs (Singapore Citizens only)
  • Anyone who wants greenery and lower density over city-centre convenience

Trade-offs to weigh

  • GCB purchases are restricted to Singapore Citizens and carry strict plot-size/zoning rules
  • Public transport coverage is thinner than Orchard or the East Coast corridor
  • Older condo stock here may need to be weighed against newer launches elsewhere for facilities
