Why Serangoon Remains a Top OCR Address
Serangoon sits at the intersection of the North East Line (NEL) and Circle Line (CCL), giving residents seamless access to Dhoby Ghaut, Marina Bay, and Harbourfront. The mature estate feel, established food culture along Upper Serangoon Road, and NEX — one of Singapore’s largest suburban malls — make it a perennial favourite for HDB upgraders and young families.
