Buyers and tenants are attracted to District 19, which is comprised of Hougang, Punggol, Sengkang and Serangoon Gardens. These four areas are mostly residential with recreational and commercial amenities. Hougang is the largest HDB town in Singapore based on land area. Private houses can be found in the Lorong Ah Soo and Rosyth areas. Originally comprised of forests and pig-rearing farms, Hougang has evolved into a vibrant residential area with a wide array of amenities. These include a number of shopping malls, Hougang Sports Hall, and a bus interchange with a range of bus services to other parts of Singapore. Punggol is a relatively new residential estate in Singapore's North-East Region. Historically a fishing village resided by Malay settlers, Punggol is now a vibrant mix of residential developments and nature. Residents can leisurely cycle along the 4.2km-long Punggol Waterway or head to Coney Island, a 133ha island popular for jet skiing and camping. Sengkang has experienced rapid development since its early days as a fishing village. It is now a satellite residential town with a well-developed LRT system offering access to different parts of Sengkang. Sengkang also offers a wide array of work and play amenities, with the main shopping mall Compass One being Singapore's first thematic shopping centre based on the theme of learning.

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.
