Housing types & architecture

A mix of low-rise apartments, mid-rise buildings, and standalone villas or townhouses. No two streets look exactly the same - architecture varies from traditional to ultra-modern. Newer developments often come with rooftop pools, gyms, and concierge services. Compared to other areas, you’ll get more space for your budget and a wide range of options to suit different needs.

Insider tip from KR

Check out the parks behind Mulberry Mansions and Seasons Community - less traffic, more green, and great for dog owners. If you’re investing, look for buildings with high finish specs and active property management for stronger long-term value.
