FAQs
Place your desk in the living area and keep the bedroom for sleep. Close the bedroom door for mental separation. Good habits around screen time help the space feel restful after hours.
For two roommates, equal-sized bedrooms (and ideally two bathrooms) are preferable. For a small family, a larger master and a smaller second bedroom (for a child or study) works fine. So it depends: roommates usually want a balanced layout, while families can manage with one bigger and one smaller room.
Look for layouts where bedrooms don't directly face each other for better privacy. Check if both bedrooms have windows for natural light and ventilation. Consider whether the kitchen is open or closed to the living area - open kitchens feel spacious but cooking smells spread. Ensure there's adequate storage throughout the unit, not just in bedrooms.
Many require a booked timeslot for lift padding and may collect a refundable deposit. Confirm required forms, booking windows, and whether your landlord handles them. Plan deliveries to match the approved window so movers aren’t turned away unexpectedly.
A lot of 1-bedroom units have small bedrooms. A queen-size bed usually fits, but a king-size might be a tight squeeze. With a king, you might have little room left for bedside tables or a dresser. Always check the room dimensions beforehand to ensure you can still move around comfortably.
Lower floors offer easier access during elevator outages and lower utility costs, but may have noise from foot traffic, security concerns, and limited views. Higher floors provide better views, less noise, and more privacy, but depend on elevators and may have higher cooling costs. Mid-level floors (3rd-8th) often balance these factors well. Consider your mobility needs, noise tolerance, and whether views matter to your daily comfort.
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.
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.
