Traditionally a quaint and laidback neighbourhood, District 12 has in recent years started buzzing with activity, thanks to several developments in the region. Comprising areas like Balestier and Toa Payoh, District 12 is growing in value for real estate investors. Toa Payoh New Town HDB is Singapore’s second satellite city after Queenstown and has been comprehensively planned and developed. The town centre acts as a focal point for the entertainment and shopping needs of residents. With several commercial and industrial developments, residents enjoy a good work and life balance here. Balestier draws locals and tourists alike for tongue tickling and lip smacking local delicacies. The neighbourhood is also dotted with several heritage structures that hold historical significance and is well connected by Singapore’s bus network and MRT stations. District 12 is ideally located and is easily accessible from nearby districts including Serangoon, Novena and Bendemeer. Those looking to buy homes close to the city, without burning a hole in their pocket choose this location. Although purchasing prices may be reasonable, rental yields in District 12 are currently on the rise as many expatriates choose to re-locate here. Several newly launched projects and fully loaded condominiums are available to those looking to invest in District 12.
