all About the Location in Singapore
May 20th, 2009 by admin
With Singapore’s real estate market being on the upswing, when looking for a nice piece of property in a nice location, it is achievable. Everyone has their preferences as far as location goes, whether it is for business or personal reasons. That is why it is important to take a look at the Singapore district map so that you can scope out what areas appeal to your specific wants and needs.
There is one thing that you can take into consideration when buying property in Singapore and that is the fact that it is situated in the southern section of west Malaysia and it has Indonesia directly to its south. This means that geographically, the country is well protected and is a great location for doing business. However, when viewing the district map, you will notice that the Housing Development Board has divided Singapore up into 28 districts (the old district numbers) for those looking for private properties and 27 districts (the new district numbers) for those looking for public housing.
It is a great idea to study the map if you are new to the Singapore real estate market. That way you can get an idea of what streets are covered, what properties are residential and commercial, and if that particular location is for you. Below is a breakdown of what the district numbers on the district map cover:
- Districts 1-8 (City and South-West): Bukit Merah, Central, Clementi, Queenstown
- Districts 9-11: Tanglin, Orchard, Bukit Timah, Newton, Holland
- Districts 12-14: Macpherson, Balestier, Geylang, Kallang, Toa Payoh, Whampoa
- Districts 15-16 (East Coast): Bedok, Marine Parade
- Districts 17-18: Pasir Ris, Changi, Tampines
- Districts 19-20: Thompson, Serangoon, Sengkang, Hougang, Ang Mo Kio, Serangoon, Bishan
- Districts 21-24 (West): Clementi, Jurong East/West, Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang, Bukit Timah, Bukit Panjang
- District 25-28 (North): Woodlands, Yishun, Ponggol, Sembawang
This breakdown of the district numbers may give you an idea of what district you want to locate in, and it definitely helps to look at the district map to see exactly what the areas consist of in the way of property. The district map is also giving you a type of visual of the property. Just keep in mind that new properties or properties under construction may not be visible on the district map, but don’t let that discourage you since you know you are getting in on a piece of the real estate pie.
