Named after Sir Cecil Clementi Smith, Governor of the Straits Settlements from 1887 to 1893, this town is a bustling hive of activity that draws people from all walks of life. Spend a weekend with your family or friends to unearth these finds in Clementi.

8. One of Singapore’s first condominiums
Clementi is also home to Pandan Valley, one of Singapore’s first condominiums still standing today. Built in 1979, the estate is a microcosmic neighbourhood on its own, housing clinics, education centres, a supermarket and other
retail stores.
According to its website, Pandan Valley is a whopping 80,372 square metres of rare freehold land. The condominium also features a koi fish pond with a wooden bridge and 3km of jogging tracks — testament to just how impressive this piece of property is.
