District 15 covers Katong, Joo Chiat, East Coast and Marine Parade and offers terrace houses, semi-detached houses, detached houses and bungalows, many within walking distance of popular schools and East Coast Park. Buyers are typically drawn by the freehold and 999-year tenure mix, the low-rise neighbourhood character, and the relative scarcity of landed stock compared to condominiums.

District 15 Landed Property Types
The district contains several landed housing enclaves, each with its own street character, tenure profile and price level. Understanding the categories helps buyers and owners compare options on a like-for-like basis.
Terrace Houses
The most common landed type in Joo Chiat and Katong. The stock ranges from authentic conservation terrace houses to fully rebuilt modern homes.
Semi-Detached Houses
Larger footprint than terraces, with a required side setback. Often found on quieter estate roads with more breathing room.
Detached Houses & Bungalows
The largest landed category, typically set on bigger plots with no shared walls. Includes both Good Class Bungalow areas and smaller detached enclaves.
Cluster / Strata Landed
A smaller sub-category where landed-style homes sit within a strata-titled development with shared facilities. Less common than pure landed in District 15.
Neighbourhoods Within District 15
Each enclave has a distinct feel, tenure mix and landed-stock style. Match the neighbourhood to your lifestyle, budget and long-term plans.
Katong / East Coast
Heritage shophouse ambience close to Parkway Parade, East Coast Park and a wide range of eateries. Landed stock includes conservation terraces and rebuilt homes.
Joo Chiat
Conservation charm and Peranakan architecture mixed with modern rebuilds. A popular pocket for buyers who value character homes and walkable dining options.
Marine Parade
A mature estate near amenities, schools and the coastal park. Landed homes here tend to be older but well-located for family convenience.
Siglap / Upper East Coast
Quieter residential streets with larger plots in some pockets. Offers a more suburban feel while remaining within reach of East Coast amenities.
