Guide To Know More About The Clementi Neighbourhood

Clementi Neighbourhood is one of Singapore’s oldest districts that has transformed from swampland to a thriving new town in the last 50 years. This Western residential district is admired by locals and foreigners alike for its conventional way of life while lacking the sparkle and glamour of its trendier neighbours. Early-morning wet markets offer fresh fruits, vegetables, meat hawker centres and a small vintage tram that circles the MRT station and the popular Clementi Park Condominium. The West Coast Recreation Centre, the 12-hectare Clementi Woods Park, the beachfront West Coast Park, and the posh West Coast Plaza gets located in the Clementi Neighbourhood southern section.

Stay:

While there are several HDB housing complexes in Clementi, the otherwise heartland-like region also has several condos. Clementi has a plethora of condominiums, ranging from ancient iconic complexes like Clementiwoods, Parc Clematis, and The Trilinq to modern developments like The Clement Canopy at Clementi Avenue 1. The presence of hotels in the Clementi Neighbourhood is unusual for most heartland estates. Ibis Budget and Fragrance hotels, located on the outskirts of Clementi, offer travellers affordable lodging.

Play:

Clementi has everything you need to stay in shape or have fun. Clementi’s recreational potential is broad, with various gyms and multiple parks on the outskirts. Most gym-goers can access Clementi’s workout options because two of the most well-known gyms, Fitness First and Anytime Fitness, are already located there. Clementi’s residential and neighbouring parks are not only a healthy dose of nature but also gorgeous if you’re seeking something less monotonous and more for pleasure.
