Apartment building

This co-living shophouse for rent just off MacPherson Road brings together heritage architecture and one of Singapore's most underrated hawker scenes. Here, you get a living space that captures natural light throughout the day, with enough sofa space that hosting guests or just hanging with housemates feels natural rather than cramped. MacPherson's real draw is its hawker food culture—the neighbourhood's hawker centres are frequently featured by local and international food bloggers, with Circuit Road Food Centre at Circuit Road anchoring the area's reputation. Stalls there stay open as late as 3 am, so late-night cravings are never a problem. The area also claims a Bib Gourmand-rated prawn restaurant and House of Samosa, both within walking distance, giving you a range beyond just hawker fare. The neighbourhood includes Masjid Sallim Mattar, Church of St Stephen, and Canossa Convent, reflecting the area's mix of communities and religious sites. Aljunied Park sits nearby when you need outdoor space, though honestly, MacPherson's older generation of residents and wheelchair-friendly facilities mean the neighbourhood moves at a pace that's slower and more residential than most of central Singapore. Supermarkets are within walking distance for daily supplies. This shophouse works for those who want a proper kitchen, communal living space, and access to Singapore's hawker culture without living in the thick of urban density. MacPherson offers residential calm with enough food options that you'll never run out of places to try.
