But if you want to explore your options and see what else Singapore has to offer, check out the handy neighbourhood guide that we\u2019ve compiled for expats below! <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/ang-mo-kio\"><strong>Ang Mo Kio<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>One of the most populous neighbourhoods in the entire Singapore. If you stay here, be prepared to get frustrated by how crowded the MRT gets during peak period. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/bedok\"><b>Bedok<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>One of the oldest estates in Singapore, renowned for its good food. There\u2019s also a reservoir where you can go to kayak.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/bukit-batok\"><b>Bukit Batok<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>A quiet neighbourhood that boasts of a breathtakingly gorgeous town park (it\u2019s nicknamed Little Guilin, which really says it all). Perfect for expats who need to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/bukit-merah\"><b>Bukit Merah<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s IKEA at Alexandra Road, and all the hipster cafes and bars along Tiong Bahru. Not the most obvious choice for expats, but you won\u2019t be bored here. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/bukit-panjang\"><b>Bukit Panjang<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>With its plethora of community gardens, Bukit Panjang is arguably the greenest neighbourhood in Singapore. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/bukit-timah\"><b>Bukit Timah<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>One of the most expensive areas in Singapore, where the majority of the housing options are private properties. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/chinatown\"><b>Chinatown <\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This place has the best of both worlds: cheap hawker food for when you just want a simple meal, and glitzy rooftop bars for fun nights out. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/choa-chu-kang\"><b>Choa Chu Kang<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>A relaxed, chilled-out neighbourhood where you can find fish farms, dairy farms, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/clementi\"><b>Clementi<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Nearby plenty of tertiary institutions such as the National University of Singapore (NUS), but otherwise, just a regular HDB town.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/geylang\"><b>Geylang <\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Despite being known as one of the seedier parts of Singapore, Geylang is actually 100% safe. If you can\u2019t stand the smell of durian, though, we\u2019d recommend that you steer clear.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/holland-village\"><b>Holland Village<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Plenty of expats here, but Holland Village is accessible by MRT, making it a lot more convenient. This place is also brimming with eateries, including hotpot restaurants and watering holes. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/hougang\"><b>Hougang <\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Old-school neighbourhood which never fails to evoke heated conversations whenever Singapore\u2019s General Elections roll around. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/little-india\"><b>Little India<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Aka where all the backpackers on a budget stay. If you want to experience a different (and less structured!) side of Singapore, we say: go for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/jurong-east\"><b>Jurong<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Singapore\u2019s second CBD in the making. You\u2019ll find Science Parks, Business Parks, and plenty of offices here.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/kallang\"><b>Kallang<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Close to town, and there\u2019s plenty of shopping and good food. If you love being close to nature, you\u2019ll also appreciate the proximity to the Kallang River.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Marina Bay<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re working in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/cbd\">CBD<\/a>, living in Marina Bay will probably be the most convenient. Like Orchard and Tanjong Pagar, rents and housing prices here don\u2019t come cheap! <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/orchard\"><b>Orchard<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s pretty pricey to live in the heart of Singapore\u2019s shopping belt &#8211; and even if you can afford it, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/frank-realities-orchard-road\/\">you might want to think twice<\/span><\/a>&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/pasir-ris\"><b>Pasir Ris<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>So close to Changi airport, you\u2019ll be home within an hour of touching down. It\u2019s also nearby East Coast Park, where there\u2019s plenty of cycling, skateboarding, and other fun to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/punggol\"><b>Punggol<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Used to be a quiet neighbourhood, but it\u2019s filling up with plenty of young couples who have just gotten their first BTO flat. However, in latest developments, the introduction of the Punggol Digital District is set to position Punggol as Singapore&#8217;s mini Silicon Valley.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/queenstown\"><b>Queenstown<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Another old-school town, best known for its shopping centres where you can score discounted branded goods and cheap sneakers. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/river-valley\"><b>River Valley<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The playground of a melting pot of expats, River Valley is a hot favourite due to its proximity to CDB and its riverfront lifestyle. With its proximity to Robertson Quay, Clark Quay and Boat Quay, one can work, live and play with minimal traveling time in between. The hottest development in the vicinity is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/new-futura?utm_source=blog%20main%20site%20conversion\">New Futura<\/a> perched atop Leonie Hill!<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/robertson-quay\"><b>Robertson Quay<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s always nice to be located near the waterfront, but of course, you can expect to pay a premium for that luxury. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/serangoon\"><b>Serangoon<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Home to Chomp Chomp, which will make you fat, and NEX, which is great for retail therapy. You can get all you need in Serangoon &#8211; you won\u2019t even need to step foot into town. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/tampines\"><b>Tampines<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Plenty of people, malls, and food. It\u2019s well-connected and served by quite a few major highways, so driving to town will be a breeze. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/sengkang\"><b>Sengkang<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Similar to Punggol, this is where plenty of young couples live. This neighbourhood isn\u2019t as close to Waterway Point and the other amenities in the area, though. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/tanjong-pagar\"><b>Tanjong Pagar<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>A mecca of good food and nightlife. You\u2019ll have to budget more for your dining expenses, though &#8211; those Korean BBQ meals don\u2019t come cheap! <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/toa-payoh\"><b>Toa Payoh<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Heartland, yet posh, at the same time. Why the oxymoron? Toa Payoh is definitely where the locals live, but housing is on the expensive side due to its proximity to town. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/woodlands\"><b>Woodlands<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Closer to Johor Bahru, Malaysia, than it is to downtown Singapore. If you\u2019re on a limited budget, Woodlands could be a good choice. The Singapore American School is located in Woodlands, which explains why the neighbourhood is a popular choice among American expats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/yishun\"><b>Yishun<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably seen this neighbourhood on the news, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/yishun-terrifying-place-live\/\">not in a good way<\/span><\/a>.
