Blk 22 Bedok South Avenue 1 (Bedok), HDB 3 Rooms - For Rent

Bedok is named after the Malay word ‘bedoh', a type of slit drum used for calling the common people to attend prayers at the mosque. In fact this type of drum was commonly used by the mosques as late as the 1950s. In the recent years many residential areas have grown up in this prominent Singaporean region. Bedok New Town is a recent development to this region covering an area of about 9.4 km2. It is a hilly region with a calm and quiet locale and features landscaped parks and sports complexes.

The Housing Development Board (HDB) has built about 58,000 units in the residential area of Bedok New Town. Although flats of various configurations are included in this project, most of these flats are either 3-room or 4-room. More than 27,000 units of executive and Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDC) flats can be found in the region. These are homes to around 200,000 residents, making Bedok one of the most sought after places for property investments.
