FAQs
HDB living means thinner walls, so noise travels easily between units and rooms. Be considerate with music, phone calls, and movement during quiet hours. Cooking smells can also spread quickly - use exhaust fans and keep doors closed when cooking strong-smelling food. The close-knit community feel means neighbors often know each other, which can be comforting but also means less anonymity.
Use the second bedroom as a study (or an office/guest room combo). If both bedrooms are in use, find a nook in the living or dining area for a desk. For instance, a small desk by a window can serve as a cozy work spot. Pick a corner that doesn't disrupt daily living.
Many are, but not all. Confirm air‑con in your room, servicing schedule, usage rules, and who pays for maintenance. Older compressors may be less efficient and noisier.
Multi-story landed houses can have complex privacy dynamics with bedrooms on different levels. Consider noise transmission between floors, whether your room has direct access or requires passing through common areas, and how bathroom sharing works across floors. Upper floor rooms may offer more privacy but require consideration of stairs and emergency access.
Most 4-bedroom units have one master bedroom with ensuite, and three smaller bedrooms sharing 1-2 additional bathrooms. Some premium units offer two master suites. Common areas typically include larger living/dining spaces and bigger kitchens to accommodate family needs. Check if bedrooms are clustered together or spread throughout the unit for privacy considerations.
Check the corridor and lift situation. If it’s a common corridor, people pass right by your door or window, affecting privacy. Corner units are quieter. Also see if the lift stops on your floor (some older blocks don’t), as you might need to take stairs if not.
Run the shower and taps to test water pressure and hot water – make sure it heats up and flows well. Flush the toilet to ensure it works properly. Look around for any signs of leaks or mold (check under the sink and around the edges of the shower). See if there’s a ventilation fan or window, because you’ll want moisture to escape to prevent mildew.
Older HDB flats are usually more spacious but come with age. They might have older fittings and be a bit more worn, and some can get warm if they lack modern ventilation or insulation. Newer flats have updated interiors and designs, but they often trade off some space – rooms and living areas might be smaller. Think about whether you prefer the extra room of an older flat (and don’t mind a bit of old-school charm) or the fresh finish of a newer, albeit cozier, flat.
