Singapore Expats

Hi!

I've been browsing the forums and I've noticed how helpful most of you guys are to newbies like me. Hope you could also help me.

I would be relocating with my wife and kid (3 months old) in November. My office is located at bukit timah rd (alfa centre). My budget is only S$2,000.

Given this budget, would i be able to get a 2/3 bedroom condo which is centrally located or would i have to look towards the outskirts? If so, is there any unit you'd recommend?

I'll be doing my look-see somewhere in the next two weeks, was hoping to be armed with a little bit of knowledge.

Any adivice/comment is highly welcome!

Live at Upper Bukit timah you are near work, good transport,school etc

6th ave. lots of condo there and near your office.

yep, check out the website given by ciotog. 6th ave is a pretty long stretch of road and there are some old private apartments which might have something that suit your budget.

kaurikid suggested upper bukit timah which is also a good choice.

saw a few ads in the papers eg recently.

a) The Hillside - 3 + 1 rms, partial furn - $2 K 1312 sq ft.
b Hume Park 3 + 1 rms, fully furn - $1.8 k
both at upper bt.

also check out maplewoods which is listed on this website (property pictures) on the main page. 2 rooms about $2000.

not too familar with the condos along 6th ave but check it out with your agent.


cheers

you should get a copy of the Straits Times or Sunday Times when you are here. The Straits Times on Saturday has the most advertisements. look at "district 11 & 21 - bukit timah/newton/clementi pte apts for rent".

For Singapore map, try .
You can search by road names, building names (incl. condo names), postcode, etc.
Also can check distance from one place to another and amenities around a certain address. Quite useful.
