FAQs
Teenagers require more privacy and independence than younger children. Consider bedroom assignments that provide adequate separation from parents and siblings, ensure good soundproofing for music and phone calls, and discuss household rules about friends visiting. Plan for increased utility usage and potential need for additional internet bandwidth or separate study spaces.
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.
Prepare a list of questions about utilities, maintenance, lease terms, and neighborhood amenities. Bring a measuring tape for furniture planning and take photos/videos for later comparison. Check water pressure, electrical outlets, mobile reception, and natural light. View properties at different times if possible to assess noise levels and traffic patterns.
Choose multi-functional furniture like a loft bed with desk underneath or storage ottomans. Use mirrors to create illusion of space and maximize natural light with light-colored curtains. Vertical storage solutions like wall-mounted shelves save floor space. Keep the room clutter-free and consider a small fan for better air circulation if the room feels stuffy.
Take advantage of amenities to justify higher rent costs. Use the gym instead of paying for external memberships, utilize the pool for exercise and relaxation, and book function rooms for gatherings. Many condos offer additional services like concierge, dry cleaning pickup, or maintenance services. Factor these conveniences into your rental value assessment.
HDB units offer excellent value for families with practical layouts and nearby amenities like schools, clinics, and childcare. The strong community environment provides social support networks. Playgrounds and void decks offer safe spaces for children. However, consider space constraints in newer flats and noise from neighbors due to closer proximity than landed houses.
Renting a condo unit gives you on-site amenities and added security. You’ll typically have access to facilities like a swimming pool, gym, and BBQ areas. Condos also provide a gated, secure environment (often with guards or access cards), which means more privacy and peace of mind.
Sharing reduces rental costs and can provide companionship, but requires compatibility and clear agreements about shared spaces, expenses, and lifestyle habits. Consider whether both bedrooms are equally desirable, how to split utility costs fairly, and what happens if one person wants to move out early.
