For Singaporeans of a certain age, the phrase “One Tree Hill” will bring to mind the OC in the US (thanks to a teen drama, back in the day) instead of the so-named, exclusive landed estate within walking distance of Orchard Road.
Unsurprisingly, that’s one of its top-selling points. We’ve covered a few landed enclaves whose claims to fame are that they are within easy distance of central parts of Singapore, such as Fernhill (another part of Orchard) and Jalan Mutiara (Great World City.) However, even though One Tree Hill is just as conveniently centrally located, you might say even more so, it remains (relatively) obscure and peaceful. Unlike the landed estate Kimsia Park (found behind Lucky Plaza), for example, you don’t have to go through the Hoi Polloi visiting Orchard Road on your way home. Neither do you get many strangers wandering outside your door.
