About Hougang

Hougang is a large north-eastern town known for its strong community identity, established amenities and connectivity via the North East Line. With a bustling town centre, heritage food and a mix of older and newer estates, it remains a well-loved heartland home in the north-east.

History and development

Developed from a rural district of villages and plantations, Hougang — whose name refers to its position at the "end of the river" — was built up as an HDB town through the 1980s and 1990s. The arrival of the North East Line in 2003 strengthened its links to the city, cementing its role as a major north-eastern hub.
