About Bugis MRT

Bugis is an interchange on the East–West and Downtown lines, giving an easy hop to Raffles Place/Marina Bay and a straight run towards Changi. Daily life clusters around Bugis Junction and Bugis+, the National Library on Victoria Street, and Rochor Canal’s promenade for jogs and cycle links toward Kallang. Kampong Glam’s Haji Lane and Sultan Mosque bring character, food and late-evening buzz. Housing is mainly condos, serviced/co-living apartments and conserved shophouse units; nearby new HDB blocks appear toward Rochor/Jalan Besar. Expect city-core pricing, softened by room rentals above shophouses.

FAQs

Ask about work schedules, sleep schedules, social habits, cleanliness, and how issues are handled. If one of you is very neat and the other more casual, it could cause friction. Observe fridge organization, sink state, and bathroom tidiness during viewing. Look for someone whose daily routine and approach to shared living align well with yours. Trust your instincts – feeling comfortable with their personality is a good sign.

Usually, yes. Many 4-bedroom homes have at least 3 bathrooms (e.g., an en-suite master bath plus one or two other full bathrooms). That gives a big family multiple toilets/showers to use, reducing wait times. It’s good to check the exact count, but typically a 4-bedder is designed with enough bathrooms. You should have far fewer queues than in a smaller unit.

Landed houses can attract more pests (like mosquitoes, ants) since they’re at ground level and have gardens. Check for window screens and ask if regular pest control is done. Also look for water stains or damp spots that could signal roof or drainage leaks.

You get an extra room to use flexibly. For example, parents in one room, kids in another, and the third bedroom becomes a study, home office, or helper’s room. Basically, the third room means you don’t have to sacrifice having an office or guest space—you can have both.

Living alone means you bear all utility costs, so efficiency matters. Use programmable thermostats for air-conditioning, switch to LED lighting, and unplug devices when not in use. Consider your usage patterns - cook in batches, do laundry efficiently, and use appliances during off-peak hours if available. Monitor your monthly bills to identify high-consumption periods and adjust habits accordingly. Some units benefit from smart home devices to optimize energy usage.

HDB regularly upgrades older estates with new lifts, facades, or facilities. While improvements are beneficial long-term, they can cause temporary noise, dust, and access disruptions. Check if any upgrading is planned during your lease period and how it might affect your daily routine and rent.

Ground floor units offer easy access without lift dependency, convenient for moving furniture or groceries, and potential for small gardens or patios. However, they may have less privacy, more noise from foot traffic, and security concerns. High floor units provide better views, more privacy, less noise, and better ventilation, but depend on lift access and may be less convenient for daily errands.

Landed houses may require more frequent maintenance like roof repairs, plumbing work, or garden care that can disrupt daily routines. Understand notification procedures for maintenance work, temporary access restrictions, and how repairs might affect your room's utilities or accessibility. Plan accordingly for potentially longer disruption periods.
