Orchard and Somerset (North-South Line) plus the newer Orchard Boulevard and Great World stations (Thomson-East Coast Line) give seamless access to town, the CBD and Marina Bay.
River Valley Primary and international schools such as ISS and Chatsworth are within reach, and the district is close to top schools in neighbouring District 10.
