Your room in a coliving apartment in Newton-Novena
23 Sept 2021
The area of Newton-Novena is a great location if you are looking for a more calm and peaceful area to live in. Its central yet quiet location is perfectly connected to various transportation means; Newton MRT is located one stop from Orchard (via the red line) and one stop from Little India (via the blue line). Of course it is also walking distance from Orchard, but that may be an activity to keep for the mornings or evenings (Singapore mid-day heat takes some getting used to). There are also a number of bus stops around. Additionally, if you have watched the movie Crazy Rich Asians, the famous ‘Newton Food Centre’ is located nearby as well as other food centres.
1. Close to the action, far from the noise
One of the benefits of living in the Newton-Novena area is the proximity to popular areas such as Orchard, Little India or Kampong Glam. Even though you are close to the hustle and bustle, the atmosphere here is a lot more calm. For those who enjoy a little more peace over the weekends, this is the perfect residential area to live in a more relaxed style
2. Good number of shopping malls
Novena has an amazing number of malls around Thompson Road. In the four main malls you can find everything ranging from bagel shops to bookstores and rock climbing. We are 100% certain that you will find whatever you are looking for in one of the many malls around.
3. Lower rental price tag compared to CBD and Orchard
Because Newton-Novena is a little further away (only a short distance) from the city center you can expect lower rental prices compared to the CBD or Orchard. Although the area is not completely suburbs, the city fringe will be roughly $300/month cheaper than apartments in the CBD.
4. Close to the popular ‘Newton Food Centre’ (featured in Crazy Rich Asians)
If you are going to Singapore and haven't watched Crazy Rich Asians... you should. Not for the plot, but the movie will show you what you can expect from (some parts of) Singapore itself. It will also show you the famous Newton Food Centre. In one of the first scenes filmed in Singapore, Newton Food Centre is one of the locations shown. In the scene loads of different dishes are devoured, have a look here at what was ordered! We have also included Newton Food Centre in one of our blog posts; you can read more about ‘Our Favorites in Newton-Novena’ here. There are also various other food stalls that can be found, such as those along Balestier Road or in Whampoa.
5. Close to Botanic Gardens and MacRitchie Trail
