Located between Balestier and Braddell, Toa Payoh is a centrally located housing estate that was the first town to be planned by the Housing Development Board. The name translates to 'big swamp' in Hokkien, reffering to the swampy land the area used to be, which residents can still get a glimpse of at Toa Payoh Town Park.
The HDB Hub serves as a convenient town centre for residents, filled with neighbourhood shops and recreational facilities used by both youngster and elderly residents.
With plenty of public housing available, Toa Payoh stands as a well-connected bustling residential town with plenty of amenities within reach.
