District 9 & 10 Property Guide: Orchard, River Valley, Tanglin, Holland & Bukit Timah

District 9 and 10 guide: Orchard, River Valley, Tanglin, Holland, Bukit Timah. 2025-26 launches averaged S$2,953-3,360 psf; Skye at Holland sold 99%.

Districts 9 and 10 are postal sectors 22 and 23 (Orchard, Cairnhill, River Valley) and 24 to 27 (Tanglin, Holland, Bukit Timah, Ardmore). Both lie wholly in URA's Core Central Region, where non-landed prices rose 1.8% in Q2 2026. The large launches of 2025 and 2026 sold at averages of about S$2,950 to S$3,360 psf.

Updated 28 September 2026. Market data is URA's 2nd Quarter 2026 release (24 July 2026). Project facts come from developers and reputable press, and each figure is dated. We do not quote district-wide psf ranges or rental yields, because we could not source them.

Which areas do Districts 9 and 10 cover?

The official list of postal districts (compiled from SingPost data) gives:

DistrictPostal sectorsOfficial labelExamples (OneMap)
D0922, 23Orchard, Cairnhill, River ValleyION Orchard, 2 Orchard Turn (238801); Ngee Ann City, 391 Orchard Road (238872); River Valley Primary School (237993)
D1024, 25, 26, 27Ardmore, Bukit Timah, Holland Road, TanglinSingapore Botanic Gardens, 1 Cluny Road (259569); Holland Village MRT (278995); Hwa Chong Institution (269734)

A postal code's first two digits are its sector. Some boundaries surprise people:

  • Most of Orchard Boulevard is District 10, not 9. Orchard Boulevard MRT is 248654, Boulevard 88 is 248655 and UpperHouse at Orchard Boulevard is 249628. The eastern end is District 9: Orchard MRT's Thomson-East Coast Line station at 301 Orchard Boulevard is 237974, and its North-South Line station on Orchard Road is 238878.
  • Newton MRT has District 9 postal codes (228234 and 229901), even though Newton is often grouped with District 11.
  • Havelock (168604) and Buona Vista (139350) stations are outside both districts, in sectors 16 and 13.
  • The Interlace is not in District 10. Its address, 180 Depot Road (109684), is District 4.
  • Upper Bukit Timah and Beauty World are District 21; see our District 21 guide.

Are Districts 9 and 10 in the CCR?

Yes. URA defines the Core Central Region (CCR) as postal districts 9, 10 and 11, plus the Downtown Core planning area and Sentosa. In URA's 2nd Quarter 2026 release (24 July 2026):

Measure, Q2 2026Change
CCR non-landed prices+1.8%
RCR non-landed prices−1.2%
OCR non-landed prices−0.1%
Landed prices (all regions)+2.5%
CCR non-landed rents+1.2%

URA does not publish price indices by postal district, so these CCR figures also include District 11, the Downtown Core and Sentosa. For more on the segments, see our guide to all 28 districts.

What about landed homes and Good Class Bungalows?

URA lists 39 Good Class Bungalow Areas (GCBAs). They include White House Park/Nassim Road, Chatsworth Park and Holland Park/Ridout Park, which URA also covers by conservation guidelines, and Leedon Park. Sample addresses in these estates, such as 10 Nassim Road (258377), 10 Chatsworth Park (249817) and 10 Leedon Park (267887), are in District 10.

  • Plot size. A new bungalow plot inside a GCBA must be at least 1,400 sqm and 18.5 m wide; outside a GCBA the minimum is 400 sqm (URA).
  • Foreign buyers. A foreign person needs SLA approval under the Residential Property Act to buy a landed house. A condominium unit does not need approval (SLA).

Which schools are in Districts 9 and 10?

These schools have District 9 or 10 addresses on OneMap:

SchoolLevelAddressDistrict
Anglo-Chinese School (Junior)Primary16 Winstedt Road (227988)9
River Valley Primary SchoolPrimary2 River Valley Green (237993)9
St. Margaret's School (Primary)Primary136 Sophia Road (228197)9
Nanyang Primary SchoolPrimary52 King's Road (268097)10
Henry Park Primary SchoolPrimary1 Holland Grove Road (278790)10
Hwa Chong InstitutionSecondary and junior college661 Bukit Timah Road (269734)10

Several schools often linked with Bukit Timah are in District 11, not 10: Raffles Girls' Primary School (289072) and National Junior College (288913) on Hillcrest Road, and St. Joseph's Institution Junior on Essex Road (309331).

For Primary 1 registration, MOE gives priority, when a phase is oversubscribed, to Singapore Citizens living within 1 km of the school, then 1 to 2 km, then beyond 2 km. Families admitted through distance priority must live at the registered address for at least 30 months.

This changes from the 2027 P1 Registration Exercise (children starting P1 in 2028). MOE announced on 10 September 2026 that reserved Phase 2C places will rise from 40 to 60 in most schools. Twelve schools in areas with little public housing will also split Phase 2C places equally between children living within 2 km and those living beyond 2 km, with no distance priority within each track. Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), Nanyang Primary School and St. Margaret's School (Primary) in the table above are among the 12, as is Raffles Girls' Primary School. Check a specific address with OneMap's school query rather than assuming from the district.

What do foreign buyers need to know?

  • ABSD. Foreigners pay 60% Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty on any residential purchase (IRAS, rates from 27 April 2023), on top of Buyer's Stamp Duty. Under free trade agreements, US nationals and nationals and permanent residents of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland can get ABSD remission so they pay the same rates as Singapore Citizens (IRAS). See our ABSD guide.
  • What they can buy. Condominium units need no SLA approval; landed houses, including GCBs, do.

More detail is in our guide to buying property in Singapore as a foreigner.
