Newton, Novena & Bukit Timah Turf City
The interesting part of District 11 right now is Bukit Timah Turf City — the largest new housing precinct in prime Bukit Timah in a generation, and the answer to a genuine shortage of 99-year leasehold stock in an area otherwise dominated by ageing freehold.
What actually matters here
- Dunearn House launched on 25–26 July 2026 at an average $3,140 psf and sold 56% of 380 units over the weekend — the first project to market in Turf City.
- The land rate was $1,410 psf ppr. In a district where most stock is freehold and decades old, leasehold at an accessible entry price is the actual product being sold.
- Buyer profile was 86% Singaporean, 13% permanent resident and 1% foreign — an owner-occupier precinct, not an investor one.
Transport
- Sixth Avenue MRT on the Downtown Line
- The future Turf City station on the Cross Island Line will serve the redevelopment directly
Schools nearby
- Nanyang Primary School

School proximity affects Primary One registration priority. Confirm distances against the MOE school finder before you buy on this basis — the 1 km boundary is measured door to door, not by district.
