A colourful, central district around Little India, Farrer Park and Jalan Besar — rich in heritage and food, and increasingly popular with younger buyers as it gentrifies.
Farrer Park and Little India sit on the North-East and Downtown lines, placing Orchard, the CBD and Serangoon within a few stops; the area is compact and walkable.
Central schools such as Stamford Primary and Farrer Park Primary are nearby; the district appeals more to young professionals and investors than to large families.
Little India's markets and temples, Jalan Besar's hip cafés and craft-beer bars, and the City Square and Mustafa retail draws make daily life vibrant and affordable.
Steady gentrification of Jalan Besar and the wider central fringe, plus excellent connectivity, support gradual value growth in this characterful, well-located district.
