Circuit Road, Macpherson. A small public housing estate in the eastern part of Singapore, lying within the Geylang Planning Area, between Aljunied and Paya Lebar.
It is a sleepy estate and parts of it are inaccessible by public transportation. The industrial parts of Macpherson, however, are a little busier. The district is set to become more lively and vibrant, with a new MRT station under construction at its edge.
