    IN DENSELY populated Singapore, living in a detached home in a Good Class Bungalow (GCB) Area can offer one a haven – a luxurious abode sitting on land of over 15,000 square feet, ensconced in leafy enclaves in prime locations.

    Living in a GCB also confers social status. These homes can be great for entertainment, personal wellness, family gatherings and business meetings.

    By affording privacy, these houses might also be useful for those engaging in shady activities who want to avoid nosy neighbours – or law enforcement.
