The Tengah BTO Nov 2022 launch is located along Tengah Garden Avenue, with two upcoming MRT stations nearby.

The Garden Waterfront I & II @ Tengah flats will be located by the proposed Tengah Pond and a proposed park, so some residents will enjoy scenic waterfront views. It will also be very near the PIE, making it easy for those travelling by car to get to other parts of Singapore.
Tengah is currently undergoing development into a residential estate, so there are currently no amenities to speak of, and residents will have to put up with construction for quite a number of years after they move in. As with other new residential estates like Punggol, a large fraction of its first residents will be young families, thus it is likely that many child-related amenities will be established.

As Tengah is a brand new non-mature estate, there are no resale flat statistics. However, due to the affordable price of BTO flats in the area, it is likely that resale flats will eventually be able to turn a decent profit after their Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) expires and the estate grows and develops.
