FAQs
Studio entertaining requires creativity due to limited space. Use folding furniture and multi-purpose items to accommodate guests. Consider the noise impact on neighbors in compact buildings. Overnight guests will need to sleep in your main living space, which affects your privacy. Plan gatherings during times when space can be reconfigured for socializing.
HDB 2-bedroom units offer more space and value but fewer amenities. Condo 2-bedrooms cost more but include facilities like pools and gyms. Landed 2-bedroom units (rare) provide maximum privacy and space but highest costs. Consider your priorities: budget and space (HDB), amenities and lifestyle (condo), or privacy and outdoor space (landed).
Landed houses may have multiple entry points, ground-level access, and outdoor areas requiring different security considerations. Check all locks, consider motion sensors or security systems, and understand neighborhood security patterns. Establish routines for securing the property and coordinate with neighbors if appropriate.
1-bedroom units offer better entertaining space than studios with separate living areas. However, overnight guests may need to use a sofa bed in the living room. Consider the bathroom situation - ensure guests don't need to go through your bedroom to access facilities. The kitchen size may limit your ability to cook for larger groups.
HDB regularly upgrades older estates with new lifts, facades, or facilities. While improvements are beneficial long-term, they can cause temporary noise, dust, and access disruptions. Check if any upgrading is planned during your lease period and how it might affect your daily routine and rent.
Use the additional space for a work area, reading nook, or exercise space. Consider whether you need all the space for bedroom functions or can create multiple zones. The extra room allows for larger furniture pieces, more storage, or simply a less cramped living environment.
Many 1-bedroom flats have a bathroom door off the living room. But some layouts only have an en-suite bathroom accessible through the bedroom, meaning guests must enter your bedroom. If you host often, look for a unit where the bathroom is accessible from the living area.
Compare price per square foot with similar units, factor in included utilities and amenities, and consider location convenience. A slightly higher rent might be worth it for better layout, natural light, or building facilities. Consider long-term costs like transportation and whether the space meets your actual needs.
