Buyers and tenants are attracted to District 10, which is comprised of Tanglin, Farrer Park, Bukit Timah, Holland Village and Ardmore Park. The Tanglin area is largely residential and is home to the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Tanglin is also at the heart of Singapore’s major embassies, ministries and consulates, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and United States Embassy. Holland Village is a favourite expat hang-out, where a hawker centre and numerous trendsetting cafes and bars cater to the expat population's needs. Bukit Timah has one of the biggest clusters of landed properties and high-end condominiums in Singapore, with very few HDBs. There are also many international schools in the neighbourhood, owing to its high expat population. The town is also home to Bukit Timah Hill, Singapore's tallest hill. The Ardmore area is close to many six-star hotels, shopping malls, clubhouses, top international and local schools, attracting many foreign buyers to invest in luxury properties in the neighbourhood.

As a major financial and business hub, the Central Region stands as the dynamic city centre of Singapore. Spanning 13,150ha in land area, the region hosts Singapore's only UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to many of the country's national monuments, such as the Merlion Park and Statue of Raffles. Although the region is designated mainly for commercial activities, it houses residential developments ranging from HDBs to bungalows. There is also plenty of greenery in the region, linked by 19km of park connectors. According to the Master Plan 2019, Orchard and Downtown will be rejuvenated as a lifestyle hub to include more mixed developments which offer live, work and play opportunities. New housing will be constructed in the Marina South Area with community facilities and amenities. Stage-6 of the Circle Line opening by 2025 will also enhance the Central Region's connectivity.
