About Kovan MRT

On the North East Line, Kovan offers a straight hop to city spots like Dhoby Ghaut and Outram, with easy Circle Line transfers at Serangoon. Daily life is simple: Heartland Mall for groceries and quick bites, Kovan Market & Food Centre for hawker staples, and futsal at Kovan Sports Centre. Park connectors lead towards Punggol Park for runs and cycling. Housing is a practical mix—mature HDB blocks around Hougang Street 21 and condos like Kovan Melody and Kovan Residences. The vibe is lively but neighbourly, popular with couples, young families and professionals.

Practical etiquette for shared kitchens, bathrooms, and bills

FAQs

With 4 bedrooms, you likely have multiple occupants requiring good communication systems. Consider shared calendars for bathroom schedules, cleaning rotations, and common area usage. Establish house rules early about guests, noise levels, and shared resource usage. Regular house meetings help address issues before they become conflicts. Clear labeling of personal items in shared spaces prevents confusion.

HDB has ethnic integration policies that may affect room rentals. Some HDB flat owners can only rent to tenants of certain ethnic groups to maintain racial balance in the block. This is a government policy, not discrimination. Ask landlords upfront about any restrictions and understand it's about maintaining community diversity, not personal preference.

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.

In a landed house, residents handle all the cleaning. Large spaces (living rooms, kitchen, stairs) mean more work, so housemates should set a chore routine or hire a cleaner together. Agreeing on who cleans what (and when) keeps the big home comfortable for everyone.

Popular facilities like BBQ pits, function rooms, and tennis courts often require advance booking and may have peak time restrictions. Weekend slots fill up quickly, especially for BBQ areas. Some facilities have time limits or cleaning deposits. Download the condo's app or check with management about booking procedures, cancellation policies, and any additional charges for facility usage.

Yards need care. Ask if the landlord handles gardening or if tenants must do it. You might be expected to do basics like watering plants or mowing the lawn. If you share the house, agree on a plan so the outdoor space is maintained without overburdening anyone.

Consider your family's growth plans and changing needs over the lease period. Evaluate room sizes for current and future occupants, proximity to schools and family-friendly amenities, and whether the layout supports aging in place. Factor in the total cost of ownership including utilities, maintenance, and potential rent increases. Choose a location that balances space needs with commute convenience and community resources.

HDB rooms often have simpler finishes and fewer shared facilities but practical layouts and solid walls. You’ll trade pools or gyms for straightforward convenience. Prioritize block condition, elevator access, and nearby amenities over lifestyle facilities you won’t use.
