D26 · Outside Central Region
Upper Thomson / Springleaf / Mandai
Quiet central-north pockets by the reservoirs and the wildlife parks.
District 26 covers Upper Thomson, Springleaf, Mandai, Sembawang Hills and Tagore. It sits between the Central Catchment reserve and the reservoirs -- low-density landed and condo living, the Thomson food street, and Mandai's wildlife parks.
Tends to suit
- Buyers who want a green, low-density setting close to the Central Catchment
- Landed and low-rise condo buyers wanting quiet without going far north
- Households who value the Thomson-East Coast Line and the Springleaf nature scene
Trade-offs to weigh
- Away from the main MRT lines, the area was long car-dependent -- the TEL only recently improved this
- Amenities cluster along Upper Thomson Road; side estates are a drive
- Some plots back onto expressways or the catchment forest with limited access roads
MRT / transit
- Thomson-East Coast Line (Upper Thomson, Springleaf, Lentor, Mayflower)
