District focus

District 20 vs District 26

Ang Mo Kio residential neighbourhood

District 20 — Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Thomson

A mature, family-oriented corridor with a strong mix of HDB flats, condominiums and landed homes. Buyers are drawn to established schools, MRT connectivity and park connectors.

  • Resale activity: Steady HDB and condo resale movement; supply is limited by the built-up nature of the estates.
  • New launch impact: Fewer large new launches; en-bloc and boutique projects tend to support nearby resale sentiment.
  • Rental demand: Consistent interest from families and expats near schools and the MRT.
  • Accessibility / amenities: Ang Mo Kio, Bishan and Thomson MRT lines; major malls, wet markets and parks.
Plan My Next Move
Lentor residential neighbourhood and park

District 26 — Upper Thomson, Lentor, Springleaf, Mandai

A blend of leafy, low-density living and newer condo supply. Lentor’s new launches have added fresh condominium stock, while Upper Thomson and Springleaf retain a quieter, greener character.

  • Resale activity: Resale volume is lower than District 20 but can be tightly held, especially in landed pockets.
  • New launch impact: Lentor’s integrated developments bring new supply, amenities and pricing benchmarks to watch.
  • Rental demand: Niche demand from families who value greenery, nature access and newer finishes.
  • Accessibility / amenities: Thomson-East Coast Line, Springleaf MRT, nature parks and future neighbourhood amenities.
