Bishan is a planning area and matured residential town located in the Central Region of Singapore. Measuring at approximately 7.62 km2, Bishan ranks the 38th, 21st & 15th in terms of size, population & density respectively. Primarily a housing estate, HDB flats here are generally more expensive compared to other estates due to its location in the central region, which commands a higher price over other estates that are further away from the city.

Bishan is located at the centre of Singapore and is made out of 3 subzones, namely, Upper Thomson, Marymount and Bishan East. It is bordered by Central Water Catchment to the west, Ang Mo Kio to the north, Toa Payoh to the south and Serangoon to the east.
