Bukit Timah (Chinese: 武吉知马, Tamil: புக்கித் திமா), officially Bukit Timah Estate, is an urban planning area and residential estate located in the Central Region of Singapore. Bukit Timah lies roughly 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the Central Business District, bordering the Central Water Catchment to the north, Bukit Panjang to the north-west, Queenstown to the south, Tanglin to the south-east, Clementi to the south-west, Novena to the east and Bukit Batok to the west.
The estate is named after Singapore's highest elevation point, Bukit Timah Hill, which despite its name, isn't located in the estate of Bukit Timah, but rather within the town of Bukit Panjang.
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.
