Statutory Overview & Urban Master Plan Framework

Serangoon is a mature residential planning area in Singapore's North-East Region, covering about 10.1 square kilometres and comprising seven subzones: Serangoon Central, Lorong Chuan, Upper Paya Lebar, Serangoon Garden, Serangoon North, Seletar Hills and Serangoon North Industrial Estate. The latest 2025 planning-area population is about 116,630 residents. Serangoon MRT is an interchange between the North East Line and Circle Line and is directly integrated with NEX and Serangoon Bus Interchange. The wider area is also known for Serangoon Gardens and Chomp Chomp Food Centre, while Lorong Chuan provides another Circle Line station serving the planning area. Serangoon combines HDB estates, landed housing, schools, neighbourhood shopping and mature community amenities rather than functioning as one single compact town centre.
