FAQs
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.
Establish clear common area rules and assign personal storage spaces in each bedroom. Use the third bedroom strategically - as a study, guest room, or helper's quarters. Create a household schedule for shared spaces like bathrooms and kitchen. Consider installing additional hooks and organizers in common areas to prevent clutter.
Check that the kitchen has adequate ventilation to prevent cooking smells from overwhelming the living space. Ensure sufficient counter space for meal prep and storage for kitchen essentials. Look for a proper range hood and consider the proximity to your sleeping area. Some studios have kitchenettes with limited cooking capabilities - confirm this meets your culinary needs.
Factor in daily transport costs to work, not just rent. A cheaper rental far from MRT might cost more overall with daily taxi/grab rides. Consider monthly transport passes, peak hour surcharges, and travel time value. Properties near MRT stations command higher rent but offer convenience and cost savings. Calculate your total monthly housing + transport budget realistically.
For kids, safety is key. Look for window grilles or child locks if you’re in a high-rise. If there’s a balcony, ensure it’s safe (you might add netting or grilles). Choose rounded furniture edges and secure bookshelves. A simple toy storage system keeps clutter controlled and reduces tripping hazards during busy mornings.
Singapore's vibrant food delivery scene means lots of packages arriving. Establish rules about receiving deliveries for absent housemates, sharing delivery fees for group orders, and storing food in shared fridges. Label your items clearly and respect others' food. Consider setting up group orders for popular restaurants to save on delivery fees.
While you're renting, understanding condo market trends can help predict rent stability and landlord behavior. Properties in high-demand areas with good resale prospects typically have more stable rents and better maintenance. However, rapidly appreciating properties may face higher rent increases at renewal. Consider the development's age, location, and market reputation when evaluating long-term rental viability.
Landed properties may require different maintenance approaches for multiple levels, outdoor areas, and potentially more complex systems. Understand your responsibilities versus the landlord's, know how to access different areas safely, and establish procedures for reporting issues. Consider whether you're comfortable with the maintenance demands of a larger property.
