This “Affordable Central” Neighbourhood Has Outperformed Singapore’s Condo Market Over The Past Decade

As neighbourhoods, Paya Lebar and Eunos share the perception that they are “more central but still east”, while Aljunied has an especially diverse property mix. Each of these locations are known for their unusual overlap of old shophouses, walk-up apartments, 1980s industrial buildings, condos, and new Grade A offices in Paya Lebar Quarter.
This results in a wide-ranging resident population comprising students, migrant workers, retirees, affluent condo owners, and office workers, who can be found within the wider Geylang area.
From the perspective of a property analyst, this makes Geylang a challenging area to examine.
