Emerald Hill

Formerly plantation land, the Emerald Hill comprised of terrace houses of a variety of architectural styles (ranging from Transitional, Late to Art-Deco). Many feature ornate pintu-pagars and have ground floor facades decorated with attractive ceramic tilework, elaborate plaster work and wood carvings.
The area today is an picturesque and quiet residential area, with several commercial units in the main shopping zone near Orchard Road.

I visited a friend for sunday brunch at Emerald Hill, she lives there. Beautiful place. Something caught my eye, a bright yellow paint wall at the back alley near the carpark (The Centrepoint) with funny signages on the wall, belonging to one of the resident. My friend told me, the unit belongs to a extremely racist local singaporean family. They always shout at her for small amount of things she does, at her own garden area. Sigh, i feel sad for her and family. Hope she move out from there soon.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Emerald Hill. A unique and peaceful enclave so close to bustling Orchard Road. For many of us SCGS students who studied at the Emerald Hill Road site it is a place that is nostalgic. The school moved to Dunearn Road in 1994 with a campus 5 times larger and facilities the envy of many. But for those of us who spent our formative years in Emerald Hill we grew up in the sisterly bonding of warmth and close ties , nurtured by caring teachers.

as a proud SCGS Kim Gek, I have many happy memories of the years going to school at Emerald Hill. My father's clinic was just across the road at Specialists' Centre. Loved it!

Need more significant event not international things but for relevant locals, tbh its bored in singapore the bored causing people depressed and feels like it just a place for work. Remotely living, the ambition end for nothing

Thank you for conserving and preserving the SCGS building, it would have been a great shame if it was torn down like the old Raffles Institution that was once located at City Hall. That was probably one of the biggest heritage "crime" that should have never happened.
