Hi guys,
I did some online apartment hunting and as I am really unfamiliar with Singapore, I have no idea what to expect. Could you guys roughly let me know what to expect for the following rent amount and conditions. Thanks
Rent: SGD 2500-3000
Rooms: 3
Near MRT
Furnished
As near to Raffles Place as possible.
Which area would I be able to rent for that amount? Would I be able to rent a place that is less than 5-6 MRT stops away from Raffles Place that comes with gym facilities?

QUOTE(seantang @ Jun 2 2010, 10:44 AM) Take a look at the rail map for Singapore, mark out the stations that you would want to live nearby and then on the online real estate websites, choose apartments for that budget within those areas. The good thing about Singapore MRT is that the names of the stations are the same as the names of the areas. I'm more familiar about the North South MRT line and 5-6 stations from Raffles Place means Newton or Novena. Since you want gym facilities, that means private condos and not HDB flats. For Newton and Novena... 3 bedroom furnished private condo with decent gym... you might want to double your budget to get more options. Thanks for the info. I have looked at the map. Most likely I would like to stay at the east side of the island. One of my housemate flies a lot and prefer to be near the airport. How far is Bedok to Raffles Place by car? It is about 8 stops away by MRT. Gym is of secondary importance. It would be nice to have but not vital.  Is it possible to get any decent 3 beds around EW5-EW14 for my budget of SGD2500-3000? Sorry for the myriad of questions. Thanks in advance. |

QUOTE(wlcling @ Jul 6 2010, 06:45 PM) i'm paying $1350 excluding utilities for a 2 bedroom flat... (1 door locked) but 3 minutes walking distance to MRT and rather near City Hall. So far if want cheap, then need to be further away from city  also cheaper to rent whole unit with a few rooms maybe in toa payoh area, then share with chio bu or other guys (depends on your cup of tea) on www.easyroommate.com.sg  no risk, no reward Which HDB is it? Care to share? I am looking for 1 around the same price. Can't seem to find one. Agents useless. |
