The take
Pick one HDB town, say Toa Payoh, Ang Mo Kio or Tampines, and wander from a void deck (the open ground floor under each block) to the market, the town park and a kopitiam, the neighbourhood coffee shop. It's where most of Singapore lives.
Good to know
Toa Payoh, Of Public Housing & Shared Spaces: 1.5 hours on foot, 4.5km
Ang Mo Kio, Iconic Landmarks: 1.5 hours with public transport, 5.5km
Both are self-guided, with map brochures to download from NHB's Roots site
Finding it: Self-guided: NHB's Toa Payoh trail starts at Block 53, the VIP Block on Lorong 5, and its Ang Mo Kio trail at the Town Centre.
