FAQs
Condo deliveries usually go through security. If you're not home, couriers often leave parcels at the guardhouse or management office for you to collect later. Some condos will call you or have lockers for packages. Find out your condo's parcel procedure so you don't miss any packages.
Having a private attached bathroom is convenient – no sharing with others. You can use it anytime without waiting. However, you’ll be responsible for keeping it clean (there’s no one else using it). Check that the ensuite has good ventilation or a fan, since moisture can build up. Ensure the drainage slope, water pressure and hot water in the shower are good when you inspect. Overall, an ensuite adds comfort and privacy, but comes with the task of sole upkeep.
Check for window safety features, electrical outlet covers, sharp corners on built-in furniture, and secure balcony railings. Look for adequate lighting, non-slip flooring in bathrooms, and whether the layout allows parents to supervise children easily. Consider proximity to playgrounds and family amenities.
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.
Students and young professionals often prefer HDB rooms for affordability and convenience. Expat families typically choose condos for amenities and international community. Established families might opt for landed houses for space and privacy. Consider your lifestyle priorities: budget-conscious renters suit HDB, amenity-seekers prefer condos, and space-needing families benefit from landed properties.
Rental demand typically peaks during university intake periods (July-August and January) and expat relocation seasons (June-August and December-January). Prices may be higher during these periods. Consider timing your search during off-peak months for better deals and more negotiating power. Chinese New Year period often sees reduced activity.
Sharing with 3+ roommates requires clear agreements about shared spaces, cleaning schedules, utility splits, and house rules. Consider personality compatibility, lifestyle habits, and how to handle conflicts. Establish guidelines for common areas, guest policies, and what happens if someone moves out mid-lease.
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.
