Queenstown is the first satellite town in Singapore. The entire concept of having a “self-contained” township, with its own council, amenities away from the city, etc. It all started here, as far back as the 1950s. In fact, Queenstown is the iconic “mature estate”, and Buona Vista and Holland V both imitated Queenstown as a template when they got started (this was way back in the 1970s). Also, the first estate ever rebuilt under the Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) is also in Queenstown, since it has some of the oldest flats built by HDB. Today, Queenstown is famous for its pricey, but much desired HDB flats. Haw Par Villa and Alexandra Hospital are both here by the way, as are the head offices of Grab and Razer.
