North-East Singapore

North-East Singapore — Serangoon, Lorong Chuan, Kovan, Hougang, Ang Mo Kio, Sengkang and Punggol — has become one of the island's busiest international school districts. Serangoon Gardens and the streets around Lorong Chuan have long been popular with expatriate families for their landed housing, village-style shops and easy access to the Circle and North-East MRT lines. The area brings together national-system schools for French, Australian and British families with large IB and Indian-curriculum campuses further out towards Punggol, where newer developments have added modern, technology-focused school buildings. For families relocating to Singapore, the north-east offers a mix of condominium and landed living at prices generally below the central districts, with a short drive or train ride into the city.
