Buyers and tenants are attracted to District 8, which includes Farrer Park, Little India and the area around Serangoon Road. A large proportion of Little India and Farrer Park’s properties are shophouses zoned as commercial/residential, with commercial on the ground floor and homes or apartments above. The area around Serangoon MRT is particularly well served by public transport as Serangoon MRT is an interchange between the Circle Line and North-East Line, and it is also connected to the Serangoon Bus Interchange. Additionally, Little India MRT has links to both the North-East Line and Downtown Line. The large numbers of shophouses in District 8 offers a quaint and unique boutique experience to discerning shoppers looking for a break from the generic, sprawling malls. The district's shophouses are becoming increasingly popular as investment properties, too, especially to investors looking to benefit from their relative scarcity in Singapore and their proximity to the Downtown Core.

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.
