A tranquil, greenery-fronted district along Upper Thomson from Springleaf to Lentor and Mandai — reservoir and nature living now transformed by the Thomson-East Coast Line and the new Lentor housing estate.
The Thomson-East Coast Line's Springleaf, Lentor, Mayflower and Upper Thomson stations give the district direct rail access for the first time, with the CTE and SLE serving drivers.
Reputable schools such as CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' and Ai Tong are within reach, adding family appeal to a nature-led district.
The Upper Thomson food belt, MacRitchie and Lower Peirce reservoirs, Thomson Nature Park and the Mandai wildlife and eco-tourism cluster give an outdoorsy, food-rich lifestyle.
The Lentor estate is a major new private-housing precinct built around the Lentor MRT, while the Mandai eco-tourism hub (with new wildlife parks and a nature resort) adds a distinctive long-term draw.
