Upper Bukit Timah / Clementi Park

Leafy private housing along the Bukit Timah ridge.

District 21 covers Upper Bukit Timah, Clementi Park, Hillview, Ulu Pandan and Toh Tuck. It is almost entirely private -- landed enclaves and condos along a green corridor next to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the rail corridor.

Tends to suit

  • Families who want nature-reserve greenery and the Bukit Timah school belt
  • Buyers wanting landed or low-rise condo living outside Core Central prices
  • Hillview buyers who value the Downtown Line and the Rail Corridor

Trade-offs to weigh

  • Upper Bukit Timah Road is a congested arterial at peak hours
  • Parts of Clementi Park and Toh Tuck are a walk from the nearest MRT
  • Older condos here range widely in age and lease

MRT / transit

  • Downtown Line (Beauty World, King Albert Park, Hillview, Cashew)

Notable schools nearby

  • Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School
  • Methodist Girls' School (Primary)
  • Bukit Timah Primary School
  • Ngee Ann Primary School

Common property types

  • Landed housing
  • Low- and mid-rise condos
  • A few older walk-ups
