Site Attributions and Amenities

Hillhaven is in District 23, amidst private residential developments and nature parks/reserves, creating a peaceful environment. With numerous new buildings emerging across Singapore, this rare serene living style is expected to endure. Especially with the presence of Bukit Gombak camp, nature parks, and reserves around.

It is essential to prevent direct visibility into the campsite for security reasons.

HillV2, a two-story lifestyle retail mall, offers easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, and enrichment classes. Additionally, the Hillview Community Club located beside the new development provides a range of lifestyle activities for all age groups.

Hillhaven – Location Map

Hillview Transformation around Natures

Hillview is a distinctive area that once accommodated light industrials and warehouse buildings alongside residential sites. Some of which still stand today. As part of the government’s plan to revitalize the Hillview area, the existing light industrial buildings may become potential redevelopment sites. The redevelopment of these sites has the potential to boost property prices in the vicinity once again.

Nature enthusiasts will love residing in this area, surrounded by numerous parks and nature reserves. Outdoor activities like hiking, outdoor cycling, jogging, and nature hunting are easily available at Bukit Timah Hill, Bukit Timah Reserve, and Dairy Farm Nature Park.

Improved Road Infrastructure in Hillview

The Hillview area has experienced enhanced transportation connectivity in the past decade. The new Downtown MRT Line featuring at least two stations serving Hillview residents, has significantly expanded public transport options. The Hillview Station is in operation since the end of 2015 and the Hume Station is expected to be ready in 2025. It is the longest underground MRT Line in Singapore The rail line connects Sungei Kadut in the northwest to Sungei Bedok in the east.

To improve the traffic flow, a new Hillview flyover and underpass are being built to connect roads from Hillview Rise to Dairy Farm Road. These additions aim to redistribute traffic along Upper Bukit Timah, especially on Dairy Farm Road and Hillview Road. The ongoing road extension at Hillview Avenue to Upper Bukit Timah Road and Dairy Farm Road is projected to be completed by the end of 2024. With these government-led infrastructure improvements, residents around the vicinity can anticipate a seamless and enhanced connection in the future.

Nearby Educational Institutions and Growth

Right next to this new development, there’s an undeveloped land plot designated for educational purposes. Alternatively, numerous educational institutions are located within a 1-2 km radius of Hillhaven. The nearest, within 1 km, includes CHIJ Our Lady of Peace, while Bukit Panjang Primary and Keming Primary fall within the 2 km radius. Tertiary institutions like Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Singapore Institute of Management are approximately a 10-15 minute drive away.

Hillhaven is conveniently close to the new campus of the German European School Singapore at Dairy Farm Lane. Investors planning to rent out their properties in the future will have a good tenant source from expatriate families with children enrolled in GESS. This International School is just a short 3-minute distance drive away.

In 2023, several new launches in the Upper Bukit Timah and Dairy Farm areas saw varying responses during their Preview Sales. The Reserve Residences stood out, achieving exceptional sales with more than 70% of its units sold. Priced at an average of $2,460 per square foot, the majority of buyers were Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PRs).

This success is attributed to the growing anticipation around the upcoming Beauty World Integrated Transport Hub and the potential it holds. The hub is a new mixed-use development featuring a bus interchange, the 3-storey Bukit V mall (inclusive of retail, F&B, and office spaces), and a new community plaza, making it an attractive prospect for many purchasers.
