District 10 is home to high end properties. This area has residences for the well-heeled expatriate, as well as the occasional celebrity. It\u2019s especially noted for the Bukit Timah reserve, which preserves much of Singapore\u2019s colourful flora and fauna. So, use this our Singapore districts guide to help yourself find a new home you love.<\/p>\n<p>The reserve means this area can have a surprisingly rural feel, despite being in the heart of Singapore. Holland Villange and Tanglin are also famous for their accumulation of pricey cafes, and you will find contemporary European cuisine next to local favourites. Note: all the prices are probably jacked up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Living like an aristocrat<\/li>\n<li>Foodies who are into Western cuisines<\/li>\n<li>Nature lovers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Featured Listing<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/rent\/listings\/spanish-village-condo-6WEeW5PtugiwJ7BiN3GU5C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spanish Village<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3636\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3636\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-08-at-17.14.28-e1449566180866.png\" class=\"img-link media-img img-link media-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3636 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-08-at-17.14.28-1024x681.png\" alt=\"Singapore districts guide-District 10 \" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3636\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Sharon Tan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>District 11, Central Region (Newton)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4>Novena, Newton, Dunearn Road, Thomson Road<\/h4>\n<p>This is a residential area, replete with its own neighbourhood malls.
