(There’s also a mosque at Jalan Lapang, so just 1-2 rows behind the Esso.) As we’ve previously seen, when the houses are bigger, the roads tend to be more spacious and uncluttered – no shortage of spaces to park here! As befits the names (Siglap Hill/Siglap View), several of the houses here along this stretch are on elevated land. To the right of the photo, at several minutes walk away, there’s a church and a Decathlon store. Walk 5 minutes to the left of the photo and you’ll find some shophouses, including Naowarat Thai Bistro which I had covered in my Frankel tour. This is where Siglap View intersects with the main road, Changi Road. (East of Siglap Road is Opera Estate, which I had visited a while back as it was (then) one of the 5 cheapest freehold landed enclaves in Singapore- another landed estate I really liked!) Siglap is quite a large stretch, so let’s start by defining the area we’ll be touring, namely: the houses in between Changi Road (to the North), Frankel Avenue (to the West), Siglap Road (to the East) and Cheviot Hill to the South. (The Frankel Area only had one row of terrace houses, so you can imagine how difficult it is to buy a terrace house there!)Īnyway, before I zoom right into the terrace houses, let’s explore the area first. Happily, after exploring I managed to find several streets with terrace houses. If you have the budget, there are several for sale in the area! A good number are in original condition (1-storey) so perfect for those looking to rebuild. I parked at Siglap Hill and my first thought on seeing the area was: “Oh dear, the houses here look even more unaffordable than those Frankel!” (They were bigger.) Example 1 of the houses around Siglap Hill/Siglap View. Several readers asked me to do add-on tours of the neighbouring areas so off East to Siglap I went again last week. Although on the price side, it’s not that affordable, given the size of the houses. A few weeks ago, I toured Frankel Avenue and found the area to be charming and quaint.
