If Tampines Nova is the high-energy “city” pick, Tampines Bliss is its tranquil, community-focused counterpart. Located along Tampines Avenue 2 and Street 22, this “Standard” model project consists of three 10-storey blocks with 284 units.
Its standout feature is a record-breaking waiting time of just 1 year and 11 months—making it the fastest BTO to hit the market in years.
Tampines Bliss was launched in the February 2026 BTO sales exercise.
Tampines Bliss is a Standard project offering 284 units across three 10-storey blocks, featuring 3-room and 4-room flats with the fastest completion time in the February 2026 launch at just 1 year and 11 months.
Its location along Tampines Avenue 2 and Street 22 provides a tranquil, “kampung-inspired” lifestyle with a 5-year MOP and no subsidy clawback, making it highly attractive for buyers seeking quick move-in dates and future financial flexibility.
Transport
While not directly beside the interchange like TampinesNova, Tampines Bliss offers excellent “dual-station” access. It is roughly a 3-stop bus ride to both Tampines MRT (East-West Line) and Tampines East MRT (Downtown Line). For drivers, the site provides immediate access to the PIE and TPE, though the junction at Avenue 2 can get busy during school drop-off hours.
Site Layout
All three residential blocks (148A, 148B, and 149A) are arranged around this central spine, which houses the children’s playgrounds and fitness areas. The layout prioritises community “nodes” where paths intersect, encouraging the spontaneous neighbourly interactions typical of old Kampung life.
Despite its compact size, the layout uses “functional shielding” to protect residential privacy:
The 4-storey Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) is placed strategically along the corner of the site. It acts as a primary noise and visual buffer for units facing the busier junction.
A peaceful corner is carved out near the adjacent nursing home. This section includes a therapeutic garden and elderly fitness facilities, creating a quiet “low-activity” zone that separates the residential blocks from the medical facility.
Unit Selection
When selecting a unit at Tampines Bliss, you are looking at a compact development with only three residential blocks (148A, 148B, and 149A). Because the blocks are only 10 storeys high and the site is relatively intimate, small differences in stack placement can significantly impact your daily comfort.
Best Views Stacks
According to Feng Shui, from 2024 to 2043, North-facing units are considered highly auspicious for stability and health. Pick high-floor units (8th to 10th storey) in Block 148A and 148B facing the internal green corridor.
These stacks look into the “heart” of the precinct. Because they are North-facing, they capture the prevailing winds and are shielded from the harsh afternoon West sun. Stacks that face the Tampines Round Market side offer a more “open” feel, as they don’t look directly into another high-rise block.
Quiet Inner Stacks
Noise is the primary concern for this site due to its proximity to Tampines Avenue 2 and a nearby nursing home. Look for stacks in Block 149A that face the Therapeutic Garden. These are the furthest away from the main road traffic and the potential noise of the on-site eating house.
Lower-floor units in Block 148B that are shielded by the 4-storey Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) will be surprisingly quiet, as the car park acts as a physical sound barrier against road noise. However, aim for the 5th floor and above to avoid “headlight glare” from cars entering the MSCP at night.
Stacks to Approach with Caution
“Sha Qi” or negative energy can come from environmental factors like road noise or “poison arrows” from building corners. Stacks directly facing Tampines Avenue 2 (likely the outer stacks of Block 148A) will bear the brunt of traffic noise. If you are a light sleeper, these should be your last choice.
Some buyers may have a personal or feng shui preference against facing the nursing home. Stacks in Block 149A facing the North-East will have the most direct view of the facility. While modern nursing homes are designed like gardens, high-floor units looking over the facility are usually preferred over lower floors.
Prioritise Corner Units
With only 10 storeys, the common corridors can feel “busy” if there are many units per floor. Always prioritise corner units (the ones at the very end of the corridor). This prevents the “rushing Qi” of people constantly walking past your front door and windows.
Avoid units directly adjacent to the lift lobby or the centralised refuse chute. While convenient, these are high-traffic areas that can be noisy and, in the case of the chute, may have minor odour issues over time.
Schools
For families looking at Tampines Bliss, the educational landscape is one of its strongest selling points. While it doesn’t have the “Plus” model status of its neighbor, it arguably sits in a more convenient spot for primary school runs, being nestled in a very high-density school cluster. Here are some primary schools which may fall within the 1km radius from Tampines Bliss BTO:
- Chongzheng Primary School (< 200m)
- Yumin Primary School (< 200m)
- Angsana Primary School (~300m)
- East Spring Primary School (~600m - 800m)
- Tampines Primary School (~900m)
While St. Hilda’s is a “big name” in Tampines, the Tampines Bliss BTO site is generally considered to be on the fringe or just outside the 1km radius for most blocks. You should use the official OneMap SchoolQuery tool to check your specific block number once it is assigned, as the 1km boundary is precise.
There are 3 secondary schools in the area, namely Ngee Ann Secondary School, Pasir Ris Secondary School, and East Spring Secondary School. For tertiary institutions, you are only a few bus stops away from Temasek Polytechnic and ITE College East, making it a stable long-term home for families.
Tampines Bliss Price
- 3-room: $363,000 - $444,000
- 4-room: $481,000 - $600,000
When comparing Tampines Bliss to the surrounding resale market, you are looking at one of the most compelling “value” plays in the February 2026 launch. Unlike its “Plus” neighbor Tampines Nova, Bliss is a Standard project, meaning it offers a fresh 99-year lease and a standard 5-year MOP without the 6% subsidy clawback.
The resale HDB market in the immediate vicinity (Tampines Street 22 and Street 23) is dominated by flats built in the mid-1980s. While these older units are larger, they face significant lease decay compared to the brand-new BTO.
| HDB Project | Price Range | Lease |
|---|---|---|
| Tampines Bliss BTO (Standard) | $481,000 – $600,000 | 99 Years |
| Tampines St 22 / 23 (Old Resale) | $550,000 – $665,000 | ~57–58 Years |
| Tampines East (Newly MOP) | $750,000 – $850,000 | ~90–95 Years |
| Tampines Central (Prime Resale) | $850,000 – $950,000 | ~88–92 Years |
Older resale HDB units on Street 22 are often larger (approx. 103–105 sqm) compared to the BTO’s 94 sqm. However, you are trading that 10 sqm for a 40-year difference in lease. For young couples, the BTO offers much better long-term financing and “value retention” for future upgrading.
Most resale HDB units in this cluster are over 40 years old. You should budget at least $70,000 – $90,000 for a full overhaul (hacking, re-wiring, and plumbing). A BTO unit, even after adding floor finishes and doors, often costs less to renovate initially.
Because Tampines Bliss BTO has no subsidy clawback, any appreciation in the Tampines East region (driven by the CRL and upcoming neighborhood renewals) stays entirely in your pocket after the 5-year MOP.
