Where to stay in Serangoon New Town
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Beds here are neighbourhood beds. Serangoon New Town is set down as a planning area and residential town, so what a stay buys is house streets, the Church of Saint Francis Xavier and Masjid Alkaff Upper Serangoon within reach, and a run out to the rest of the island for anything else. Housing dominates the map.
Bethany Independent-Presbyterian Church Singapore stands on the same ground, and if you want quiet residential nights rather than a room above a shopping street, this corner of the North-East Region supplies them.
