\nA total of 881 families from the Alkaff Vista and Alkaff Lakeview projects have been steadily collecting their keys since July 2019.
\nBidadari, Singapore\u2019s latest large real estate measuring 93ha (10,010,437 sq ft), is slowly coming to life as its first batch of residents are now occupying their Build-To-Order (BTO) Housing Board flats.
\nA total of 881 families from the Alkaff Vista and Alkaff Lakeview projects have been steadily collecting their keys since July 2019, reported The Straits Times.
\nAlkaff Lakeview houses 531 units and will overlook the new Alkaff Lake. It will soon have a childcare centre, coffee shop, supermarket and other shops.
\nAlkaff Vista, meanwhile, houses 350 units across four blocks and will be linked to a pedestrian and cycling network named Bidadari Greenway, which runs beside Bidadari Park Drive.
\nUpon its completion in 2022, the estate will contain a total of 10,000 flats.
\nIt also features a large playground beside My World Preschool as well as a multi-purpose sheltered pavilion. A hardware shop, coffee shop and salon have also opened up in the area.
\nOnce housing the country\u2019s largest cemetery, Bidadari now boasts greenery as its distinctive feature. The developments have landscaped roof gardens sitting on top of a three-storey carpark, with the blocks connected to the garden per district.
\nBoth gardens feature fitness stations, children\u2019s playgrounds and shaded sitting areas. They also have ramps granting wheelchair access to promote ageing in the area.
\nThe estate will also have a 10ha (1,076,391 sq ft) park that will contain open lawns, a lake, a heritage walk, experiential trails and a children\u2019s playground.
\nBidadari will be served by the Potong Pasir, Bartley and Woodleigh MRT stations, while also having the first underground bus interchange next to the Woodleigh station.
\nOne family that has just completed home renovations and is wanting to move in before 25 January 2020, is Neo Swan Hoi and her son Kevin Neo.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s so near to Chinatown, there\u2019s going to be a supermarket downstairs and everything is new. I\u2019m excited to move in,\u201d said Madam Neo, owner of a drinks stall in Chinatown.
\nShe also seems fine with Bidadari\u2019s past function as a grave site.
\n\u201cSingapore is so small; there are cemeteries everywhere but people still live near them. I\u2019m not superstitious, so it\u2019s not a problem.\u201d
\nShe also hopes to stay in her new home for a very long time.
\n\u201cI like being close to nature and I have a good view of the garden from my window, so I think my son and I will enjoy living here.\u201d
