Castle Green

The largest estate on our list, with 664 units spread over five 13-storey blocks and one of the fullest facility decks you will find in the north: pool, gym, tennis and squash courts, a sauna, a badminton hall and a jogging track inside the grounds. Two MRT lines are walkable, Yio Chu Kang on the North South Line at about nine minutes and Lentor on the Thomson-East Coast Line at about fourteen, which gives you a direct ride to both Orchard and the city.

There is no mall within walking distance. AMK Hub and the Ang Mo Kio food centres are a short bus ride, and most tenants here keep a bicycle or rely on the buses along Yio Chu Kang Road.
