Located between Serangoon and Kallang, Bidadari is a relatively new estate in Singapore. Over 70 per cent of its Build-To-Order (BTO) flats have been completed in the past five years, with the remaining units expected to be ready by the end of this year.

HDB data in Sept 2024 showed that the first flats in Bidadari - the four-room types - were resold for between $937,500 and $1.17 million, and one home owner made a $500,000 profit after selling his five-roomer for $1.2 million.
