District 9Orchard, Cairnhill, River Valley

Orchard Road, Cairnhill and River Valley — the address most people mean when they say prime. Freehold is common, sites are small, and redevelopment happens one plot at a time through collective sale rather than through master planning.

Primary schools in District 9

Every MOE primary school whose postal code falls inside sectors 22, 233 of them. Being in the district is not the same as being inside a registration band: MOE measures 1 km and 2 km as a straight line from the school to the home, so the school across the district boundary is often the closer one. Where a school has developments inside 2 km, its own page lists them with the distance.

Stations serving District 9

A station is listed here when it is within 1000 m of a school or a development inside the district — a walking-radius claim, measured, rather than a boundary drawn to make the list longer. Stations carry no postal code, so no exact in-district assignment exists; this is the honest substitute. The distance shown is to the nearest of those points.

What actually decides a purchase in District 9

Headline psf tells you the least here of anywhere in Singapore. Within one project, floor level, stack orientation and whether the unit faces the Somerset flank or the Cairnhill ridge can move psf by a fifth. Compare specific stacks, never project averages.

A district page is a description of a place, and no description knows your quantum ceiling, whether ABSD is in play, or how long you intend to hold. Those three answers usually eliminate most of the list above before a single viewing is booked. Run the numbers first — the stress test and stamp duty calculators are on this site and nothing is sent anywhere — then send the constraints.
