As with East Coast, West Coast’s inception came from reclaimed land in the 1970s. While they were both created from reclaimed land, the East became recreational and the West took the industrial route. The most western of the West Coast is predominantly industrial but the eastern and central locations mostly comprise of private housing and a Housing and Development Board (HDB) estate.

There is a town centre at the heart of the HDB estate, despite the few amentities existing in the vicinity of the private homes and condos among West Coast. This town contains multiple two-storey shophouses, the West Coast Community Centre, the Ang Chee Sia Ong Temple, the Wu Tai Shan Buddhist Temple and the much acclaimed Clementi West Market, which is right across from the West Coast shopping mall.
