About District 27 – Sembawang & Yishun

Yishun has had a rough reputation on the internet — we've all seen the memes. But the reality is that it's a well-functioning residential town with excellent amenities. Northpoint City is one of the largest malls in the north, and the Yishun Safra and swimming complex draw crowds on weekends. Yishun Pond and the surrounding parks offer pleasant green space. Sembawang, further north, is quieter and more laid-back. The old Sembawang naval base area has some of the most affordable landed housing on the island. The hot spring at Sembawang — one of only two natural hot springs in Singapore — is a genuinely unique feature. The main drawback is distance from the CBD, but with the North-South Line running through, you're still looking at about 40 minutes to City Hall. Prices here offer genuine value.
