Bedok / Upper East Coast / Siglap

The eastern lifestyle belt -- HDB heartland meeting the coast.

District 16 covers Bedok, Upper East Coast, Siglap, Bayshore and Kew Drive. Bedok is one of Singapore's largest HDB towns; the coastal strip from Siglap to Bayshore adds landed enclaves, sea-facing condos and East Coast Park access.

Tends to suit

  • Families who want the east's cafe culture, beach access and food
  • Buyers wanting a landed enclave near the coast at more than D15 supply
  • The new Bayshore estate and Thomson-East Coast Line stations

Trade-offs to weigh

  • Historically far from the CBD -- though the TEL now shortens the trip
  • Upper East Coast Road can be congested at peak hours
  • Coastal condos vary a lot in age; check the remaining lease

MRT / transit

  • Thomson-East Coast Line (Bedok South, Bayshore, Siglap, Marine Terrace)
  • East-West Line (Bedok, Tanah Merah)
  • Downtown Line (Bedok Reservoir, Bedok North)

Notable schools nearby

  • Opera Estate Primary School
  • St Stephen's School
  • Temasek Primary School

Common property types

  • HDB (Bedok)
  • Coastal condos (Bayshore, Siglap)
  • Landed (Frankel, Opera Estate)
