District 11 with areas like Newton and Novena is truly every home owner’s dream come true. The landscape is dotted with several renowned schools, religious houses and elite residential estates, making it ideal for families. Named after Novena Church, dedicated to St Alphonsus, Novena is bereft of HDB estates and boasts of only elite condominiums and private residences which come with amenities that are a class apart, thereby making them pricy. Novena also offers the convenience of Novena Square Shopping Mall, Velocity that caters to sports enthusiasts and United Square that is especially targeted at young kids and toddlers. Newton is the preferred haunt of foodies who enjoy the local cuisine. Newton Food Centre draws crowds for its delicious local foods like oyster omelet, popiah, barbequed chicken wings and seafood. Real Estate in District 11 continues to be priced at a premium as it is strategically located between Orchard Road and Bukit Timah. The recent development of the area into a prosperous business area have further appealed to a large pool of potential property buyers and ensured a significant rise in the population. To accommodate the growing population within the region, several HDB residential areas, condominiums and landed properties have been conceptualised and executed.
