FAQs
Use room dividers, curtains, or tall furniture to create visual separation between sleeping, working, and living areas. Strategic lighting can create intimate spaces within the open plan. Consider a murphy bed or loft bed to maximize floor space during the day. Establish routines that give you psychological separation between work and rest time.
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.
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.
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.
Condos regularly conduct fogging for mosquito control, especially during dengue seasons. You'll receive advance notice to close windows and stay indoors during fogging. Remove or cover food, drinks, and personal items that might be affected. Understand the schedule and duration of these activities, and plan your day accordingly. Some buildings also do regular pest control that may require temporary room access.
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.
Look for sun exposure, corridor traffic, and window seals. Older blocks may show wear, so check for water stains, spalling, and musty smells. Test airflow with windows open and closed to understand heat buildup and ventilation effectiveness.
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.
