Hougang is a very popular estate with a fairly strong demand for HDB flats and private properties. This has perhaps explained why rentals and resale values have remained fairly robust. The Cross Island Line passing through Hougang via the Hougang and Defu MRT stations as well as the upcoming Defu Industrial Park and Lorong Halus Industrial Park will act as property boosters for existing and new homes. This, plus the availability of many good schools will make Hougang even more attractive and may result in further capital appreciation for properties here.
