What does The Tapestry rent for?

Stacked Homes counts 180 leases from September 2025 to August 2026, at a median of S$3,100 a month, and estimates the gross yield at about 2.7%. EdgeProp puts rents at an average of S$5.8 psf a month and the yield at 4.0%. The two estimates differ widely, so treat both as rough guides; they are the sources' own figures, not ours.

How far is The Tapestry from the MRT and schools?

The Tapestry is not within walking distance of a train station by most measures. Stacked Homes gives the walk to Tampines West (DT31) as 1.8 km, about 22 minutes, and to Tampines interchange (East-West and Downtown lines) as 2.1 km, about 25 minutes. From OneMap coordinates, Tampines West station is about 1.4 km in a straight line from the blocks.

Stacked Homes lists two primary schools within 1 km: Poi Ching School (about 770 m) and St. Hilda's Primary (about 990 m). On OneMap coordinates, St. Hilda's is about 1.0 to 1.06 km in a straight line from the blocks, so it sits at the edge of that band.

Who might The Tapestry suit?

This is a summary of trade-offs, not a recommendation. What is distinctive: a lease that started only in 2017, a large site with a 100 m pool and a long facilities list, and a range from compact one-bedroom units to five-bedroom dual-key layouts. The trade-offs: it is a 99-year leasehold; no MRT station is within an easy walk, so many residents will rely on buses or a car; with 861 homes, many similar units can be on the market at once; and the two main rental sources disagree on yield, so anyone relying on rent should check recent leases themselves.

Correction

1 October 2026: An earlier version of this page gave the address as 2A Tampines Avenue 10, named Far East Organization as developer, described the project as freehold and completed in 2011, and said Tampines MRT was about 750 m away. The Tapestry is at Tampines Street 86; it was developed by a City Developments Limited subsidiary; it is a 99-year leasehold from 31 July 2017, completed in 2021; and the nearest station, Tampines West, is about 1.8 km away, with Tampines interchange about 2.1 km. Unit sizes run beyond the 1,776 sq ft previously stated. Unsupported claims about 11 themed gardens, five pools, nearby parks and Temasek Polytechnic were removed, as were investment recommendations and an offer of a paid "full report".
