Previously a village close to the coast, Bedok is one of the largest residential areas in Singapore, known for being a food paradise with plenty of amenities. If you are looking for a resale public housing flat that has reached its 5-year minimum occupation period (MOP) in this precinct, you may want to consider Bedok North Woods that reaches MOP this year.
Conveniently located near to Bedok town centre, Bedok North Woods boasts lush greenery for more conducive living in the bustling town at District 16. Let’s take an in-depth home fengshui review on this 2024 MOP-ed housing estate to assess its fengshui qualities beyond its convenient location. Read on!
Bedok North Woods: Landform Fengshui

Located along Bedok North Road, Bedok North Woods sits on the Eastern Dragon, and belongs to the favourable fengshui land formation known as “Golden Coins Falling to the Ground”, shaped by Bedok Reservoir – the symbolic source of wealth. This means that residents in Bedok are blessed with opportunities of windfall.
However, this formation is also accompanied with two tricky stars – namely the Tao Hua Romance and White Tiger stars – which underlie potential wealth loss. As such, one is advised to go by the book and stay down-to-earth.

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.
Reflecting its namesake, Bedok North Woods boasts 3 linear garden spaces connected by a green circulation spine, shelters and trellises, which is great for the flats of varying heights to attract and garner qi effectively. This is definitely a plus in fengshui.
Residents can also enjoy the lush green backdrop filled with amenities such as gardens, playgrounds and fitness areas. However, potential resale unit buyers are reminded to refrain from selecting a unit that is close to trees and plants. Plants may be a symbol of vitality and growth, but it can also 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.
In terms of convenience, residents of Bedok North Woods will enjoy accessibility to many amenities in this well-established town. In fact, it is located just next to Fengshan Primary School, which makes it great for families with school-age children. While this spells convenience for the residents, it also means a more crowded housing environment, heavier traffic and potential Sha (conflicts).
For those who are more sensitive to noise, you may want to consider sound insulation solutions. Due to the flats’ proximity to the primary school, potential buyers should also be mindful of higher traffic during peak hours.
Last but not least, there is a 6/7-storey Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) within Bedok North Woods. Some units (stack 415, 443, 445) face the MSCP directly, and are likely to encounter fengshui conflicting forces (煞气) such as noise pollution (噪音) and headlight flashes from moving cars if your unit is on the lower storey (below 7 floor). Such disturbances to daily life might induce insomnia. To counter this, homeowners can consider installing a window blind or curtains.

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.

Bedok North Woods comprises 3 residential blocks of 357 units of 3-, and 4-room flats. 303 rental flats are also located in one other residential block. These blocks range from 7- to 17-storey in height. 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.
Most units at Bedok North Woods 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.
As for units that face the less favourable and marginal direction, West/Southwest, potential buyers of resale units may want to consult a professional fengshui practitioner for further analysis.
For existing homeowners, it’s never too late to review your Bazi compatibility with your home or get a 2nd opinion to improve your home fengshui.

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.
Bedok North Woods is nestled within an established residential estate, which spells great potential for this relatively new 5-year old residential development to flourish together with its neighbours.
Thrive in Period 9 with good home fengshui
Besides its easy access to amenities and vibrant environment, Bedok North Woods sits at an auspicious land with most units facing the most auspicious directions of Period 9.
