There are 2 coffee shops there, from my house, past the 2 coffeeshops and across the junction is Hougang central. its about 10mins walk. I still find the road in hougang very luan...for eg from ave 5 to ave 6, although only an ave apart but u need to cross overupper serangoon road then pass by hougang central or ave 10 b4 u can get to ave 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MsChocobanana 1 Report post Posted August 24, 2012 Hougang is a nice place! with more childcare coming up, lift upgrading, some facelift here n there! Even the old ppl look so happy. Besides, the flats here, even for a 4room is quite big as compared to the new 4 rooms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
