Hougang is known as a peaceful area of Singapore, with quiet residential streets, schools and unique eateries. Perfect for the more adventurous traveller or for extended stays, Hougang will leave you feeling like a local in no time.
An up-and-coming neighbourhood, Hougang has seen an increase in hip cafés and restaurants over the past couple of years. When you’re done sampling the cuisine, you can immerse yourself in the Gothic architecture at the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Alternatively, visit the six-story Hougang Mall, containing 130 retail stores and immensely popular Korean fried chicken outlets. Finally, it offers some beautiful green spaces to explore, which is no surprise since Hougang means ‘end of the river’.
Although situated in a peaceful area of Singapore, it’s easy to connect to the rest of the city. The nearest MRT is only 4 minutes drive away and the international aiprort is 19 minutes drive away.
