District 10 guide

District 10 condos: freehold and luxury homes in Tanglin, Holland and Bukit Timah

District 10 is Singapore's best-known address for good-class bungalows, embassies and quiet freehold condominiums within reach of Orchard Road. This guide covers the main pockets of the district, the projects buyers are comparing now, and what to check before you commit.

The four pockets of District 10

Tanglin, Nassim and Ardmore

The streets just off the top of Orchard Road, including Nassim, Ardmore, Anderson, Cuscaden and Orchard Boulevard, hold most of Singapore's ultra-luxury condos. Many are freehold and small, and buyers pay for the address and the walk to Orchard. 21 Anderson sits here.

Holland Village and Holland Road

Holland is more of a neighbourhood than a prestige address, with its own food and nightlife and the Holland Village MRT station on the Circle Line. Recent government land sales have brought larger 99-year projects here, such as Skye at Holland and Amberwood at Holland.

Bukit Timah and Farrer

The Bukit Timah side of the district is about schools and greenery. Families target the 1 km rings around popular primary schools and the Bukit Timah secondary school belt, and the Downtown Line now runs through the area.

Stevens, Balmoral and Robin

Between Bukit Timah Road and Stevens Road is a pocket of low-rise freehold condos and landed homes, now served by Stevens MRT, an interchange for the Downtown and Thomson-East Coast lines.

21 Anderson

Eighteen freehold homes by Kheng Leong at 21 Anderson Road, completed in July 2025. Designed by Ernesto Bedmar with Studio Liaigre interiors and a Shunmyo Masuno garden. As at 23 September 2026, two homes are left: a 3,197 sq ft ground-floor 2-bedroom (guide S$10M) and a 4,489 sq ft 4-bedroom (guide S$25M).

What to compare between District 10 condos

  • Tenure. Freehold land in the district is scarce and usually comes from collective sales. Newer government land sale sites are 99-year leasehold, so compare price per square foot with tenure in mind.
  • Density and privacy. A building with two homes per floor, like 21 Anderson, lives very differently from a 600-unit project. Look at units per floor, lift arrangements and how many neighbours share the facilities.
  • Completed or under construction. Completed homes can be inspected and occupied now. Uncompleted ones spread payments over the build but carry a wait.
  • Schools and MRT. Check the 1 km and 2 km school rings for your exact address on SLA OneMap, and the walk to the nearest station on the Downtown, Thomson-East Coast or Circle line.
  • Stamp duty. Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty depends on your residency and how many homes you already own. Check the current rates on the IRAS ABSD page before you budget.

District 10 FAQ

Which areas are in District 10?

District 10 covers Tanglin, Holland, Bukit Timah and Ardmore, including roads such as Nassim, Anderson, Orchard Boulevard, Cuscaden, Balmoral, Robin, Holland Road and Farrer Road. It is part of the Core Central Region (CCR).

Are there still freehold condos for sale in District 10?

Yes, but few. Most new freehold supply comes from collective sales of older buildings. Completed freehold options with units left include 21 Anderson (two units as at 23 September 2026) and The Giverny Residences at Robin Drive. Recent government land sale sites in Holland, such as Skye at Holland and Amberwood at Holland, are 99-year leasehold.

Should I buy a completed or an uncompleted District 10 condo?

A completed home lets you inspect the actual unit, view and finishes, and move in or rent it out straight away. An uncompleted project is paid for in stages under the progressive payment scheme, and gives you a choice of stacks while there is still stock. Which is better depends on when you need the home and how you plan to finance it.

Which primary schools are popular with District 10 buyers?

Families often look at the 1 km zones around Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), Singapore Chinese Girls' Primary, Methodist Girls' School, Henry Park Primary and Nanyang Primary. Always check the distance for a specific address on SLA OneMap.
