Tampines, Planning area and housing estate in East Region, Singapore
Tampines is a residential neighborhood in the eastern part of Singapore divided into several districts with homes, shops, and services mixed throughout. The area features parks, schools, markets, and public facilities that serve the everyday needs of families living here.
The area was covered in ironwood forest before large-scale development began in 1978 to create a planned residential community. This transformation made it one of Singapore's major housing centers in the eastern region.
The regional library serves as a gathering place where people of all ages meet to learn, read, and spend time together. You'll see families, students, and seniors using its different sections and attending events throughout the week.
The neighborhood is well served by three MRT stations and multiple bus stops that make getting around straightforward. These connections help you reach other parts of Singapore and its main transport hubs easily.
The area includes Changi Business Park, one of Singapore's largest integrated business centers that operates alongside the homes and families. It hosts major international companies and forms a surprising mix of residential life and corporate activity.
