Changi Airport, Changi Village (District 17)

One could easily identify district 17 by its very flooding of tourists which is unsurprising since Singapore’s renowned and world-class Changi Airport is located here. It is definitely eye-opening to see the transitions that have occurred within the area as we consider its past as a plantation and a military base during the Second World War. What had been previously characterized by its few buildings and narrow streets lined by angsana and palm trees has developed into an idyllic place for picnics and other recreational activities like the Changi Exhibition Centre where the Singapore Airshow is held annually.

Moreover, district 17 provides visitors with a wide array of places for leisure like the Aloha Loyang and NTUC Changi Village which offers a relaxing ambiance ideal for a pleasant staycation with family and friends. One can try out Changi Village’s famous delectable nasi lemak within the Changi Village Hawker Centre; or partake in a relaxing game of golf or watersports offered at the Changi Sailing Club and the Changi Beach Club. For the adventurists, Pulau Ubin is a great island spot for hiking and connecting with nature and can be easily accessed through the Changi Point terminal.

Due to the wide array of recreational activities offered within the area, several residential properties that seek to provide residents with the beautiful scenic ocean views and breezy settings have sprung up over the years. Such residences include the Aston Residence, JLB Residences and the Coastal Breeze Residences.
