District 13 offers a serene living atmosphere for Singaporeans with streets like Macpherson and Potong Pasir. Served by the North East Line (NEL) and Circle Line, District 13 offers easy access to other parts of the island and key areas of the city state. The region is predominantly dotted by residential properties in the form of HDB clusters, private non-landed and landed homes. Potong Pasir literally translates to “cut sand” in Malay. Although Potong Pasir was traditionally a poorer neighbourhood filled with sand-quarries, recent developments have turned it into a real estate hot bed. The Macpherson’s industrial area at Circuit Road, is easily accessible to residents of the neighbourhood, thereby attracting a burgeoning population. Easy access to reputed schools like St. Andrew’s Junior School, Cedar Primary School, and Stamford American International School apart from other essential facilities, makes District 13 a popular choice among families. Shopping destinations like City Square Mall, NEX Shopping Mall and Orchard Road add to the convenience of residents. The area has seen a tremendous growth in terms of its real estate market particularly for residential purposes. Several upcoming residential and commercial developments go to indicate increasing demand, and extensive redevelopment is underway to promote the real estate market in the region.
