FAQs
Confirm whether you’ll park on a driveway or street and how visitors should park. Test gate mechanisms and night lighting. If you own bicycles or scooters, ensure secure storage and a practical route without lifting heavy equipment up stairs.
Landed houses have different safety profiles with multiple entry points, windows at various levels, and potential outdoor access. Ensure proper locks on your room and understand emergency evacuation routes from upper floors. Consider personal security measures and understand neighborhood safety patterns, especially if your room has ground-level access.
Ventilation is key. Always use the range hood when cooking and open windows if you can. In a studio, smells travel fast, so clean up right after cooking. You can also light a scented candle or simmer lemon water to help clear the air.
In a landed house, residents handle all the cleaning. Large spaces (living rooms, kitchen, stairs) mean more work, so housemates should set a chore routine or hire a cleaner together. Agreeing on who cleans what (and when) keeps the big home comfortable for everyone.
Studios are energy-efficient to cool with one air-con unit covering the entire space. However, cooking heat and humidity affect the whole living area immediately. Good ventilation becomes crucial - ensure windows open for cross-ventilation and the kitchen has effective exhaust. Consider the orientation and whether the unit gets direct sunlight, which can make small spaces uncomfortably warm.
Create zones with rugs, shelving, and lighting changes. Use furniture placement to carve out separate areas. For example, a shelf or screen can divide your bed from the rest of the space. Try to group your bed, sofa, and desk separately, so sleeping, relaxing, and working each have their own corner in the room.
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.
Void decks host community events, celebrations, and sometimes funeral wakes that can create noise and activity. Lower floor rooms may be more affected by these activities. While these are part of HDB community life, understand the typical schedule and duration of events, and plan accordingly for noise-sensitive activities like sleep or work calls.
