Queenstown is a residential town located in the central-western part of Singapore, known for being the first satellite town in the country. It has a rich history that dates back to the early 1950s when it was developed to solve the housing shortage in the post-war period. Today, Queenstown is a blend of old and new, with a mix of high-rise public housing apartments and private condominiums. The town is named after Queen Elizabeth II to mark her coronation in 1953. It is well-equipped with a range of amenities including shopping centers, schools, libraries, sports facilities, and parks. Queenstown is also known for its green spaces like the HortPark, a part of the Southern Ridges, which offers a scenic escape with lush greenery and outdoor activities. The town has a diverse population and is reflective of Singapore's multicultural society. It is well-connected to the rest of Singapore through an efficient public transport network, including the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system, making it convenient for residents to commute.
