Serangoon is an area located in the North region of Singapore and comprises of seven subzones: Serangoon Central, Lorong Chuan, Upper Paya Lebar, Serangoon Gardens, Serangoon North, Seletar Hills, and Serangoon North Industrial Estate. In the early 19th century, Tamil Muslim traders from India pioneered the settlement of Serangoon, working in the brick kilns and cattle industries located here. Though the kilns stopped in 1860 and cattle sheds were removed in 1936, much of the Indian culture that existed has persisted here, with Serangoon now being home to the vibrant “Little India” enclave, and the majority of residents in the area are Indian.

With its fairly central location and being conveniently serviced by multiple MRT lines and public bus routes, Serangoon is a popular choice for home hunters. Several primary, secondary, and tertiary schools can be found in the area which makes it a great location for families.

For your retail therapy needs, NEX is the biggest mall in the region, boasting 7 levels of retail and dining options conveniently integrated with the Serangoon Bus Interchange and Serangoon Interchange Station. Local hawker centers such as Chomp Chomp Food Centre and Serangoon Garden Market & Food Centre offer a wide variety of local fare to satiate those hunger pangs. Dive deeper into local culture by savouring an authentic Indian meal at one of the many restaurants in Little India, choose your own fabric and get a hand-made Indian sari at the local tailor, or adorn a new outfit with sparkling jewelry from one of the handicraft/jewelry stalls that line Serangoon Road. Several supermarket brands such as Cold Storage, Sheng Siong, and NTUC Fairprice have outlets spread out across the area, making it easy for residents to grab their necessary amenities.

The combination of an integrated transport system, the availability of good amenities, presence of schools and healthcare facilities, as well as a harmonious blend of modern shopping comforts with more local and culturally rich shopping experiences, makes Serangoon an interesting and lively neighbourhood to live in. With choices between local HDB apartments and newer condominiums and terraced house complexes, the area is popular with both locals and expatriates. Housing in this area is relatively affordable, making it attractive for families, couples, professionals, and singles who are looking to flat-share.

Serangoon is bordered on the north by Seletar Hills, on the east by Trafalgar, Hougang, Kovan, and Upper Paya Lebar, on the south by Lorong Chuan, and on the west by Bishan, Chong Boon, and Cheng San.
