Yishun estate has welcomed four new housing projects in the last three months.
Yishun Greenwalk, one of two Build-to-Order HDB projects, has attracted more than 1,000 applicants in two days.
It offers more than 1,100 flats for first-time households.
The HDB is also rolling out the Adora Green under the Design, Build and Sell Scheme.
Executive condominium, The Canopy, is also adding to the buzz in Yishun.
Nicholas Mak, executive director (Research & Consultancy) at SLP International, said: “Yishun itself actually has its charm. It is located right next to the Seletar Reservoir, which is a more mature reservoir, and it looks like a natural lake.
“It is also the nearest HDB town to the Seletar Aerodrome, which in future will be redeveloped into Singapore’s aerospace hub. So there will be more opportunities for engineers, for high-end professionals.”
