Located in the Northeast region of Singapore, Seletar was originally a rubber plantation estate. Today it's best known for its use as a military air base by the British Royal Air Force in the 1920s and still continues to be used as an air base as well as for other aerospace services and industries.

The Seletar Mall services residents’ daily needs with retail and dining outlets, as well as amenities such as supermarkets, money changers, and ATMs. Old colonial bungalows that have been restored as restaurants and other food and beverage concepts reward customers who venture out with a unique dining experience set amongst vast and spacious landscapes. A number of flying clubs and flight schools can be found in the area for aspiring pilots and flying enthusiasts.

Seletar is fairly out of the way of main town centrer, with the closest LRT station being Fernvale, which then links to Sengkang where you’ll have access to the main MRT transport network. Many residents tend to drive, or use other alternatives such as taxis.

Much of the area in Seletar is taken up by aerospace industries and other businesses, however there are still pockets of residential areas in this neighborhood. Colonial bungalows dotted around the area that once housed military personnel of the RAF have since been repurposed into residential properties, offering choice residences to home hunters. Being in close vicinity to an air base, you’ll find less condominiums and high-rise apartments in the area due to building height restrictions, however there are a few condominiums located in the neighboring planning areas on the cusp of Seletar. With fairly affordable housing and a few primary schools located near the area, Seletar can be a convenient option for families to consider. Being in quite a secluded area, Seletar also offers nature lovers and retirees a peaceful retreat.

Seletar is bordered on the north by the Johor Strait, on the east by Sengkang, on the south by Yio Chu Kang, and on the west by the Lower Seletar Reservoir.
