Connectivity & transport

The Thomson-East Coast Line's Marine Parade, Tanjong Katong, Marine Terrace and Tanjong Rhu stations are a game-changer for a district long reliant on buses and the ECP; the CBD is a short drive or ride away.

Schools nearby

A strong school belt including Tao Nan, CHIJ (Katong) Primary, Tanjong Katong Primary and Secondary, and Haig Girls' makes D15 a perennial family favourite.

Lifestyle & amenities

Katong-Joo Chiat's Peranakan shophouses and food, East Coast Park's beaches and cycling, and the Parkway and i12 malls give an unmatched lifestyle blend of heritage and seaside.

Growth & URA Master Plan outlook

The new TEL stations sharply improve accessibility, while the Long Island reclamation proposal off East Coast could, over the very long term, add new waterfront land and coastal protection — a potential future catalyst.
