When you talk about landed living around Beauty World in District 21, everyone thinks about Toh Tuck Estate, but did you know that there is another landed enclave nearby called Hoover Park?
In my opinion, Hoover Park is a much more comfortable estate to live in than Toh Tuck. To find out why and to decide for yourself (since everyone likes different things in a landed estate) join me on my walkabout below! (No landed estate is perfect, and there are some things I don’t like about the area too, which I’ll say more about below.)

If you’re not familiar with the area, here’s where it is on the map: it’s basically in between Bukit Timah Community Centre, Bukit Timah Market & Food Centre, Beauty World MRT, and Beauty World Shopping Centre. As such, it has all the amenities one would need within walking distance (one of the reasons why I like this estate so much.) Since a huge part of the appeal is the amenities, we’ll spend more time looking at them today (instead of just looking at the houses.)
Another aspect I like about the area is the sizeable park/playground in the middle. However, not all parks remain as such in Singapore, so let’s check the Master Plan to check the zoning. (It is, so it should still be around for the next few years.)

As you can see, whilst the estate is fairly large, it’s much smaller than the area around Toh Tuck, which is so big, that I can’t cover all the roads in a single walkabout. (This also means that there are fewer cars driving into Hoover Estate.
Let’s start by looking at the area around the park.































This brings me to one thing I do NOT like about the estate: monkeys! According to a resident of the neighbourhood, it can get so bad that “residents feel like prisoners in their own homes” according to the Stomp article I linked to, since 2022, there have been 50 feedback cases about monkeys near the MRT. (The article was written in April 2023.)
Now I didn’t see any monkeys during my walkabout, but I wasn’t surprised, given the proximity to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the number of potential food sources in the area. Having said that, I’m not sure if the monkeys are an issue for the houses deeper within the estate, or if the area is just concentrated around this part.

It is the year 2024.














Via the staircase, we can climb up to Chun Tin Road from Lorong Kilat, so let’s head that way.



















Actually, you can even walk down to the HDB blocks, where you’ll find Bukit Timah CC, and MORE restaurants, so let’s go take a look!















Let’s continue down Jalan Jurong Kechil, so you can see one of the other exits/entrances to Hoover estate.






We’ve now seen almost everything around this estate, with the exception of the famous Ameen Makan House along Cheong Chin Nam Road, there is a whole stretch of Zi-chars and other restaurants there, some of which are quite famous.



Now that we’ve toured the entire estate, how did you find it? Do you agree with me that it has a very comprehensive range of amenities? If you can think of a better-equipped landed estate (except maybe Serangoon Gardens), do let me know in the comments as I would love to go for a tour of it!
See you again next week!
