Serangoon Garden Estate is a residential estate in the Serangoon district of the North-East Region of Singapore.
Serangoon Garden is one of the oldest estates on the island, and was built during the 1950s.
The estate was upgraded in 2001 as part of the Singapore Government's plan to improve the older private housing estates in Singapore. Open roadside drains were covered up. Streetlights and road signs were replaced, and the estate's parks were also upgraded.
Serangoon Garden Circus was used as one of the locations for the country-wide millennium celebrations.
Until 1988, Serangoon Gardens was a single seat constituency. When the Group Representative Constituency was introduced, Serangoon Gardens became part of the GRC. Since then, it has been part of the Aljunied GRC.
