Between the construction of the Jurong Region Line (JRL), the February 2021 and May 2021 BTO Tengah launches, and plans for Jurong to become the second CBD, living in the new neighbourhood is set to be an exciting prospect.
Though the Parc Clover @ Tengah and Parc Glen @ Tengah November 2021 Tengah BTO flats are perceived as somewhat inaccessible, this is expected to change when the JRL is completed. The apartments are a short walk from the upcoming Tengah Plantation station and a bus interchange.
Those who want to live more sustainably will appreciate how Tengah town employs smart technology and has green spaces making up 20% of the estate. Being away from the city centre means you’ll likely enjoy a slower pace of life and the quiet afforded by the surrounding nature parks.
The flipside to this tranquillity is that residents of the Parc Clover @ Tengah and Parc Glen @ Tengah Nov 2021 Tengah BTO flats are still not within walking distance of major malls. But you will be within walking distance of two proposed health and medical care facilities.

If you’re looking for an affordable option, the November 2021 Tengah BTO flats are your best bet. For example, if you’re a young couple looking to start a family, you will likely go for a 4-room flat. A 4-room at Parc Clover @ Tengah and Parc Glen @ Tengah start at $312,000 and $319,000 respectively.
This is a reasonable sum, considering the Kallang/Whampoa prices, which starts at $511,000 for a 4-room flat.
The low prices can be attributed to how Singapore’s first new town in more than 20 years is far away from the city centre and lacks many amenities that make other more mature estates popular.
However, there is much potential for price appreciation in the long term. After the major developments such as the JRL (set to be fully operational in 2028), Jurong Lake District (set for completion in 2040 and beyond), and Jurong Innovation District are completed, Tengah will be an incredibly attractive place for those who favour living in the west.
There are no resale HDB flats in Tengah to benchmark prices against as none of the flats in the neighbourhood have MOP-ed.
Tengah BTO Amenities (Nov 2021 HDB BTO Launch): Parc Clover @ Tengah and Parc Glen @ Tengah
If you prefer living in a quieter neighbourhood, removed from the hustle and bustle, applying for Parc Clover @ Tengah and Parc Glen @ Tengah could be a good move. You’ll live in a “Forest Town” and be surrounded by nature.
And when the plans to transform Jurong into a second CBD is realised, you’ll be in an ideal location for work and play.
Live in Green Spaces
If you love hiking or want to reap the benefits of living near nature, making your home in the Tengah neighbourhood might be suitable for you. Aside from a large central park, residents of the estate can take strolls through the community gardens, play areas, and farms. Additionally, the entire town will be bordered by trees, creating a forest fringe.
Parc Clover @ Tengah and Parc Glen @ Tengah residents with green fingers are also encouraged to grow plants and other edibles in the communal neighbourhood spaces.
Biking enthusiasts will appreciate how the roads in Tengah are lined with dedicated walking and cycling paths. This gesture is part of Singapore’s efforts to reduce the number of cars on the road and encourage better connectivity.
Access to Surrounding Health and Sports Amenities within Tengah and Nearby Estates
In the future, a polyclinic and health and medical care centre will be constructed within a 10-minute walk away from the Nov 2021 Tengah BTO flats. More will also be built a short car ride away.
To fulfil their sporting and recreational needs, potential residents will have to travel to nearby estates. The nearest sports and recreation facilities include Bukit Batok Swimming Complex, Jurong East Sports Centre, and Civil Service Club @ Bukit Batok. However, there are plans in motion for a sports and recreation centre to be put up nearby the BTO flats.
Minutes’ Walk to Tengah Plantation MRT (JRL)
While residents of Parc Clover @ Tengah and Parc Glen @ Tengah may be inconvenienced in the first few years of moving in, this will change when the full JRL is ready in 2028. Once the JRL is functional, they’ll enjoy improved connectivity to the city centre and other major landmarks and developments.
The best part is Tengah Plantation MRT is likely to be under a 10-minute walk from the property. Furthermore, a bus interchange is currently being proposed to be built within the vicinity.
After the estate reaches its MOP and JRL is functional, the estate will likely be a popular place to rent among Nanyang Technological University (NTU) students. Adults who work at the Jurong Industrial Estate and Jurong Innovation District might also eye the flats.
Proximity to Shopping Centres in Surrounding Estates
There aren’t any shopping malls in the Tengah neighbourhood, only a neighbourhood centre a couple of minutes away from the BTO flats selling basic necessities. Another neighbourhood centre with designs for a polyclinic has also been proposed for construction.
To fulfil your dining and shopping needs, head to West Mall in Bukit Batok, Boon Lay Shopping Centre in Boon Lay, and Keat Hong Shopping Centre in Choa Chu Kang. If you don’t mind travelling slightly further, you can head to Westgate, JCube, IMM or JEM at Jurong East.
Good Selection of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Schools Nearby
Health and sports facilities and schools within Tengah have not been completely developed yet. But if you’re a young couple planning to have kids, don’t worry. You can send them to one of the nearby primary schools:
- St Anthony’s Primary
- Princess Elizabeth Primary
- Concord Primary School
- Choa Chu Kang Primary School
- Shuqun Primary
- Corporation Primary
- Dazhong Primary
- Jurong Primary
- Huiling Primary
Once more residents move in, the Government will likely build more schools.
