District 8 Singapore

All you need to know about the District 8 Singapore

District 8 Singapore comprises Farrer Park, Little India, and the Serangoon Road neighbourhood. Little India and Farrer Park are well-known examples of commercial/residential shophouses featuring retail on the ground floor and flats or apartments above. The Little India MRT will link to the Downtown Line in 2016, and properties in District 8 Singapore should expect to gain considerably from improved transportation connectivity. Serangoon MRT is an interchange between the Circle Line and the North-East Line, and it’s also connected to Serangoon Bus Interchange. 

Features:

• There are various public housing options in District 8, including HDB flats at Farrer Park View near the Farrer Park MRT and other HDB buildings near Serangoon MRT apartments in the renowned Zhujiao Centre and Tekka Market near the Little India MRT.
• Buyers looking for Serangoon Road condominiums with a bit more money have options, ranging from City Square Residences to the impending Eight Riversuites.
• The high number of shophouses in District 8 provides discriminating consumers searching for a break from the generic, enormous malls with a pleasant and distinctive boutique experience. Shophouses are a popular investment option in District 8 Singapore due to their closeness to the Downtown Core, qualities as a more “boutique” retail experience, and historical importance.
• One of the most noticeable sights in District 8 is Connexion, integrated healthcare and hospitality complex that contains the Farrer Park Hospital. It is conveniently positioned next to the Farrer Park MRT station and complements the existing infrastructure, facilities, and services in District 8.

Little India Singapore:

Little India is one of Singapore’s most frequented areas, located east of the Singapore River. The area is known for its religious structures, including Hindu and Buddhist temples and a Mosque from the nineteenth century. Because of the enormous number of migrant laborers from India who settled in, the area began to undergo an Indian makeover as the cattle trading sector took control.

Farrer Park:

Serangoon Road, Rangoon Road, Race Course Road, Northumberland Road, Tekka Lane, and Bukit Timah Road are part of the Rochor planning area in Singapore’s Central Region. The Farrer Park subzone, as designated by the Urban Redevelopment Authority, is part of the Rochor planning area (URA). The term “Farrer Park” originally referred to an open field to the west of this subzone. This open space presently called “Farrer Park Field” is located in the Kallang planning area.

Serangoon Road:

The architecture of the terrace shophouses with ornamental façades is one of Serangoon Road’s most distinctive features. They feature characteristics that reflect the times in which they get built, which span the early 1800s through the 1960s. The smooth surfaces of some of these structures are another distinguishing characteristic. These get made with the Madras chunam, a traditional exterior plastering technique composed of egg white, shells, lime, and sugar. Serangoon Road is currently part of the Little India conservation area, which gets gazetted by the Urban Redevelopment Authority on July 7, 1989.
