    The only good school in D9 is ACS Junior at cairnhill.

    The only good schools in D10 are RGS, NYPS, HCI and Henry Park.

    The only good schools in D11 are RGPS, NJC, NYGH, SCGS, ACS pri, SJI, SJIJ.

    Theoretically speaking, D11 is the one with most good schools.
    alamak....den D10 do not hf any unqiue character liao lor....

    so how can D10 be the best district ? hehe

    Good schools in D10: RGS, nanyang primary, hwa chong institution and henry park primary.

    D11: ACS Primary, RGPS, SCGS, Nanyang Girls, NJC, SJI, SJIJ.

    Takes one who has truly lived in the area to know. All you other guys are just talking cock.

    That actually makes sense because if you are an expat and your child goes to an international school,how does proximity to ACS affect your quality of life?Maybe that's why rental is better in other districts?Because Singaporeans don't like to rent?

    Thank you orange for your very detailed post.Would you know if the Marymount area is reasonably close to SJI?I'm asking for a friend who may eventually put his children at the French school but just in case finances don't allow it,he wants to be near a reasonably good local school.

    Although I have heard that proximity to the school is no longer a guarantee of admission

    The truth is that the moment you drive out of your Crabelle that AYE already sure jammed all the way from the start point, no need to smear other places with worse jams.
    I am beginning to suspect that you can't read. read my my post again before you utter more nonsenses.

    I said the jam started on holland road.

    Simple - just get rid of the bloody bus lane (LTA immediately increased the road width by 33%!) and get rid of all the buses from CBD.

    as for MRT problems....pls hf some patience, more lines r opening up oredi....it takes time to build.....late is better den never

    The uniqueness of D10 is not in its schools, but in its diverse character. Choose from prestige urban living near orchard to genteel lord of the manor living amongst lush lawns in the landed estates along holland road, to the commercialised bohemian character of Holland Village to the more affordably priced landed houses in the bukit timah/coronation west area (not all though, the highly prestigious queen astrid park is located here), to more affordable borderline prestige condos in Mount Sinai.

    The eastern part of district 10 is in the upper orchard area (ardmore, claymore, draycott) and tanglin, very prestigious areas near the shopping district. These are urban in nature, with high rises making most of the residences there.

    Moving northwest and westwards we have part of newton, stevens, cluny, part of bukit timah on the northern side and dempsey/botanic gardens, holland road, leedon, holland village, sixth avenue and mount sinai on the southern side. These areas are more or less dominated by landed properties, of which more than 2/3 of the entire GCB zone on the entire island are situated. Condominiums form a substantial number of residential dwellings here, though.

    The bulk of the western part of D10 is connected longitudinally by balmoral/anderson/stevens road, farrer road, sixth ave and the tony estates that lie within them.

    If you are more curious, you can consult google maps.

    Directly north of D10 lies D11, whose northern cut off is the PIE running across the region.

    D11 is similar in nature to district 10, with the eastern parts of the district dominated by high rises and the bulk of the western part having mostly green landed estates, including GCB areas. D11 is mostly residential, with a small village-y enclave in Greenwood having restaurants. The rest of D11 are elite school compounds. There is potential for many more landed areas in D11 in the Eng Neo Turf Club area and the Bukit Brown area demarcated by Lornie Road and PIE in the northcentral part of D11. They are now undeveloped and are an attractive proposition for developers once the URA decides to release the land.

    When it comes to boasting the priciest real estate in singapore however, D10 takes the cake.

    Both these districts are bounded on their western ends by D21.

    u very funny lah. Most of these schools are on the same stretch of road, but on diff sides. For the sake of schooling children, both sides are equivalent. But for other things, it makes a diff. For ex. NJC, NYGH, RGPS are all on the dunearn rd side, but for traffic purpose, bt timah side is better, because it can get out from holland, farrer etc. Also there are a lot more trees/ greenery in thr coronation side. U can see houses in watten are far cheaper than coronation/duchess side. Same thing goes to those bunch of ACSs. The opposite balmoral side are close enough and better too. I'm not saying D11 side is not good, just that ur "theoretically speaking" term is very funny. For D11, the university rd side is pretty good too.

    It is pretty close, but of course the trevose, whitley, goldhill, malcolm and mount rosie estates in D11 proper would be even better. There are several strata titled cluster developments there for sale and lease, meaning foreigners can buy.

    strata titled cluster housing: PR/foreigner subjected to approval

    however, there is no restriction for strata titled cluster housing within a condo


    http://www.sla.gov.sg/htm/ser/ser0306.htm#a
    What is restricted residential property under the Residential Property Act
    A foreign person cannot acquire or purchase restricted residential property unless he obtains the prior approval of the Minister for Law. Such property includes:

    1. vacant residential land;
    2. landed property [i.e detached house, semi-detached house, terrace house (including linked house or townhouse)]; and
    3. landed property in strata developments which are not approved condominium developments under the Planning Act.

    personally i like the D10 feel, just as Orange had very skillfully described. IF u enjoy places like Holland V, Dempsey Hill, Lush greenery like Botanical Garden and appreciate the wide range of shopping/restaurants on Orchard shopping belt. D10 is a very nice region to stay. Near to the buzzing action, yet one can get a home in one of the quiet corner of area.

    The action is only 10 mins away from your house. All of the Lifestyle with relatively lower population density. Not everyone appreciates these quality though.

    Sorry 2 lanes become 3 lanes is increasing by 50%! LTA sure can make wonders by removing the bus lane!

    I used to own a unit in district 11. Walk 70m and you were at shaw centre Balestier. Maybe parts of West Coast feel classier than that part of town?

    I believe Binjai Park D21 is equally good too if not comparable to D10.

    thumb up for drinking milk from the cow without actually owning the cow, or paying for the cow's upkeep.

    minus point for Districts 9 and 10, too many cows that give out free milk.

    very important points you missed:
    * Few cows would want to give free milk to bulls living outside of D9 & 10? (those cows that do instead, no bulls want them)
