With little government-funded public housing developments in the area, Bukit Timah has one of the highest densities of private housing out of any other planning area in the country. Compared to other places located in the outskirts of the city, residential properties in Bukit Timah are far more expensive. Bukit Timah currently has an HDB estate at Toh Yi Drive.
