District 14 (D14) covers Eunos, Geylang, Kembangan, Paya Lebar, and Ubi — a patchwork of heritage streets, thriving food culture, and a steadily modernising urban core. For potential landed home buyers, it offers something rare: established freehold enclaves, everyday convenience, and the promise of long-term transformation.

Connectivity That Supports Everyday Living

Landed homeowners here have relatively accessible transport links without sacrificing neighbourhood quiet.

For landed residents, this means family members and even future buyers will value the easy, car-light accessibility — without needing to live in a high-density condo hub.

Paya Lebar’s Evolving Core

The commercial heart of D14, Paya Lebar Central, has shifted the district’s lifestyle balance.

For a landed homeowner, this proximity is a lifestyle bonus — whether for weekday convenience or weekend dining.

Food Culture as a Lifestyle Asset

One of D14’s biggest draws is its food landscape — a factor that adds intangible but powerful value to living here.

For buyers, this mix of heritage hawker culture and emerging cafe scene creates a strong “liveable” appeal that can be hard to replicate elsewhere.

Character and Conservation Appeal

D14’s conservation streets — especially in Geylang — are part of URA’s Secondary Settlement areas, with pre-war shophouses and Art Deco facades. While these aren’t typically landed plots for redevelopment, they shape the area’s identity and attract boutique businesses. That vibrancy benefits nearby landed enclaves by keeping the district culturally distinct, which can be a plus for long-term value retention.

Green Connectors and Waterfront Access

For families who value outdoor space, D14 offers more than just your own garden:

These park connectors add to the lifestyle proposition for active homeowners and can be an attractive selling point for future buyers.

Landed Enclaves with Strong Fundamentals

The main landed zones in D14 are clustered around Kembangan and Eunos, with pockets like Jalan Senang and the Lengkong Dua to Lengkok Enam areas. These offer:

For potential buyers, these fundamentals tick both the lifestyle and investment boxes.

Community Amenities That Matter

Lifestyle for landed homeowners here benefits from well-established amenities:

Such everyday conveniences are part of what sustains property desirability over the long term.

The Future: PLAB Redevelopment

The upcoming relocation of Paya Lebar Air Base from the 2030s will open about 800 ha for redevelopment, while lifting height restrictions in surrounding areas. This is set to:

For landed buyers, this represents a medium-to-long-term growth catalyst that could further underpin both lifestyle quality and property value.

Why D14 Works for Landed Buyers

Rare Freehold Supply

The freehold landed enclaves here are a limited asset class, especially given Singapore’s broader land scarcity.

Everyday Convenience Without Inner-City Crowds

Residents can enjoy quick access to major transport and commercial hubs while returning to a quiet residential street.

Cultural Depth and Lifestyle Diversity

A blend of old and new — from heritage markets to modern malls — makes it appealing to a broad demographic, supporting resale and rental prospects.

Future Growth Potential

With the PLAB transformation ahead, buying into D14 now could mean securing a landed home before the next wave of urban renewal.

In Summary

For potential landed home buyers, District 14 is not just about location — it’s about securing a lifestyle that blends heritage charm, modern convenience, and future growth. The landed enclaves in Kembangan and Eunos, in particular, offer a rare combination of freehold tenure, transport accessibility, and proximity to both cultural and commercial hubs. Add in the long-term upside from the Paya Lebar Air Base redevelopment, and D14 stands out as a district where lifestyle and investment potential work hand-in-hand.
