Tampines East is a new town in Singapore.
It consists of several blocks:
The newest blocks are in Blocks 230A-F and Blocks 3xx, where it is Gabriel Quek's house. The Neighbourhood 3 was being built in 1993 - 1995.
Residents can do their grocery shopping at Tampines N2 Neighbourhood Street and Tampines Mart. Tampines Mart is where Ernest Mok's car - Proton Wira got the car that the tyre punctured in 1998. There is a Giant Tampines Mart nearby.
There is also a park called Festival Park, Tampines Leisure Park, Tampines Community Plaza and Tampines Tree Garden.
Residents can take service 291 from the Neighbourhood 2 and 3 to Tampines East.
The newer Tampines East MRT Station, which is under the junction of Tampines Ave 2, 9 and 7, is convenient for the residents of HDB estates in the Tampines East vicinity and for the students of Tampines Junior College and Ngee Ann Secondary School. It was originally supposed to be positioned at the Ngee Ann Secondary School but however, it will disturb the housing estate density, so it was shifted to Tampines Avenue 7. It will be opened on 21 October 2017.
There are several schools in Tampines East. These include - Chongzheng and Yumin Primary Schools, and Pasir Ris, Ngee Ann and East Spring Secondary Schools.
