Published: 16 Jan 2025
Located in the central western part of Singapore, Queenstown – our nation’s first satellite town – is a highly sought-after residential location. Here, there are several Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) projects with early minimum occupation period (MOP). One of them is the award-winning Forfar Heights.
Completed in 2020, the MOP for Forfar Heights (SERS block) should be in 2025 but some units are already available for sale due to the old regulation for SERS replacement units. There is no doubt about the location and convenience of Forfar Heights but is it worth the price?
Let’s take an in-depth home fengshui review on this early MOP-ed housing development to assess its fengshui qualities beyond its ideal location. Read on!
*Note: The SERS block at Forfar Heights is an add-on to the existing estate, which has 5 housing blocks with lease starting from year 2006. This fengshui review is for the SERS block.
Forfar Heights: Landform Fengshui
Bounded by Strathmore Avenue, Forfar Heights is located in the mature Queenstown precinct. From a fengshui viewpoint, it sits on the Western Dragon and falls under the fengshui formation of the “Land of White Horse”, characterised by enthusiasm and loyalty.
Long-time residents of the horse land shall benefit from its positive energies and attain success on their career front. However, one should not overlook the horse’s shortcomings such as being over-ambitious and lacking determination. The latter could result in failures and cause one to lose fighting spirit.
The energetic nature of the horse makes Queenstown an ideal place for business start-ups while those who wish to hold on to existing businesses may find it challenging.
Exterior fengshui considerations
As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a resale flat.
At first glance, one would not miss the lush greenery at Forfar Heights (SERS block), which is part of HDB’s ongoing efforts to integrate foliage and greenery in our living spaces. Unlike newer estates, residents get to enjoy cooler shades with mature trees in this precinct. Hence, despite the high urban density, the green spaces create a tranquil environment.
On the other hand, potential resale unit buyers of Forfar Heights (SERS block) may want to refrain from selecting a lower-floor unit that is close to trees and plants. Plants may be a symbol of vitality and growth, but it can introduce unwanted pests into our homes if they are too close to entrances. Besides that, trees can also deflect incoming auspicious energies. If you have any doubts, don’t hesitate to seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
Beyond its convenient location, the most common gripes from Forfar Heights residents are probably ‘noises’. Potential resale home buyers should expect higher traffic noises at the SERS block that faces the main roads; namely Alexandra Road and Commonwealth Avenue, where the main MRT line lies. Also, do expect higher human traffic and noises from the 2-storey commercial block (53B). To reduce noise disturbances from the external environment, sound insulation is a must.
Some netizens believed Forfar Heights to have bad fengshui for homeowners because of its proximity to the main roads. Well, the SERS block overlooks a cross junction between Commonwealth Avenue and Alexandra Road. Cross-junction roads are indeed potential landform obstructions that could bring Sha Qi, BUT one will not be affected if your home is located on a higher floor. Potential resale buyers choosing stack 161, 163, 171, and 173 should take note of this.

Did you know that the main orientation of your house will directly influence the overall luck of your household member(s)? The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

Forfar Heights comprises 6 residential blocks in total, with earlier units completed in 2006. We will be reviewing the relatively new SERS block that has 247 units across 2-room, 3-room, and 4-room at 43-storey high. Some of these units are already available for resale while the rest will meet the MOP in 2025.
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063), followed by Northwest and Southeast. We have identified the Period 9 Auspicious Homes below. Do you live in any of these units?
Warning Sign: These are on the boundary between 2 sectors of directions. Therefore, it is suggested to seek advice from a professional fengshui consultation for guidance.
Several units at Forfar Heights (SERS block) face North/South, which is ideal in terms of home fengshui in the current Period 9 and Period 1. To further enhance one’s luck cycle during these periods, residents can display emblems with the Water element, such as a water feature to “cool” your home. Take note to avoid Fire-related designs.
Also, if your main door faces your neighbour’s main door, do display a round light in between the two doors, or hang a Super 5 Shield at the top of your door frame. Those staying at or considering stack 171 and 173 should take note. From a home fengshui viewpoint, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony if two main entrances face each other directly.

Did you know?
Events and happenings within a space create energy vibrations that can either be positive or negative. These are not limited to indoor spaces, but could also be infused into the estate that you plan to live in. Hence, it makes sense to understand the history of your to-be neighbourhood, especially recent happenings that could leave traces of remnant energies.
Prior to selecting a resale flat, take a walk in the estate and take note of the features of surrounding buildings that may harbour threats of negative influences or hinder ventilation within your home. The main idea is to garner and ensure the smooth flow of positive Qi (energy) within your new home while avoiding Sha Qi (negative energies).
Sha Qi in the environment surrounding your home can manifest into loss of wealth, accidents, and sickness. If there are sharp edges pointed towards your potential home, then it is best to consider another unit or seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
Also, established residential estates contain stronger ground energies than newer ones. Mixing old and new house developments together will allow newer estates to “absorb” the land’s energies at a faster rate.
ForFar Heights (SERS block) is nestled within a well-established estate, which spells great potential for this relatively new residential development to flourish together with its neighbours.
Thrive in Period 9 with good home fengshui
The central location of Forfar Heights has its pros and cons. We can’t say if the SERS block (soon-to-MOP) is worth its hefty price tag but where fengshui is concerned, this relatively new development definitely has potential. After all, Forfar Heights sits at an auspicious land with all units facing the most auspicious directions of Period 9.
To optimise the fengshui influences so that you and your household members can thrive consistently in Period 9, don’t hesitate to contact Way Fengshui Consultancy for your home fengshui needs.
