FAQs
Condo living often attracts young professionals and expatriates, creating diverse, international housemate communities. Expect higher living standards and potentially more transient housemates who may move frequently for work. The facilities create natural social opportunities - you might meet neighbors at the pool or gym. However, this can also mean more temporary relationships compared to HDB community living.
No private pools or gyms, but you’ll find community clubs, sports centres, and public pools nearby. Many tenants prefer the neighbourhood feel and everyday convenience.
If you rent a common room, you’ll likely share a bathroom with one or more housemates. Agree on morning and evening peak times, cleaning duties, and storage space for toiletries. A shower caddy and labeled shelves reduce friction. Expect to compromise a little on timing and cleanliness habits, but overall, as long as everyone is considerate (cleaning hair from the drain, not hogging the bathroom for an hour), sharing a bathroom is manageable.
A studio apartment is basically one open room (with a separate bathroom). It's best for a single person or a couple who don't mind a compact space. If you prefer minimal upkeep and everything in one area, a studio could suit you.
HDB estates often have nearby markets, food courts, clinics, schools, and community centers. Many have playgrounds, fitness corners, and resident committee activities. Check proximity to essential services, public transport, and whether the estate has active community programs that might interest you.
Condos usually have special move-in procedures. Expect lift bookings with protective padding and refundable deposits. Paperwork may include forms and ID copies. Schedule deliveries within approved windows and keep receipts. Planning this early avoids movers waiting downstairs while approvals are sorted last minute.
Singapore's diverse rental market means you'll likely live with people from different cultures. Be open-minded about different cooking styles, religious practices, and lifestyle habits. Establish ground rules early about shared spaces, food storage, and cultural celebrations. Respect dietary restrictions and prayer times. This diversity can be enriching if approached with understanding and clear communication.
Landed houses often have helper's quarters or space for live-in domestic help. Clarify with your landlord whether you can employ helpers, if there are designated helper areas, and what additional costs or responsibilities this entails. Understand helper accommodation standards, work permit requirements, and whether helper facilities like separate bathrooms or kitchens are included in your rental.
