Present

Siglap is a residential area on the east of Singapore where a majority live in landed homes such as freehold semi-detached houses and bungalows. The area near Siglap Centre has been redeveloped into serviced apartments and luxury condominiums housing expatriates. The few Housing and Development Board flats in Siglap were demolished in 2015 under the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme. East Coast Park is also located nearby, across the East Coast Parkway.

Siglap has two community centres: Siglap Community Centre and Siglap South Community Centre. East Coast Road and Upper East Coast Road are lined with several restaurants, food courts and shops.

The ancestral home of the former Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, was located in Siglap, along with the home of the former President Wee Kim Wee.
