Singapore Expats

Silly question I suppose, but I am trying to see where Tanglin is so I can househunt nearby?

Are you refering to Tanglin Trust School?
There are lots places here with "Tanglin" in the name.
If you are refering to the school it is a little ways off of North Buona Vista Rd which would put it in district 5 in terms of real estate districts. The same district as Holland Village and generally quite a popular area for expats.

Thanks Peteyboy. It is Tanglin Trust I was referring to.

District 5? Better start saving the pennies then

Tanglin Trust is in District 5 but not all of district 5 is expensive, especially if you stay a little further out. Districts 10 and 21 are still within reasonable reach of Tanglin and are a notch cheaper than district 5.

I work very close to Tanglin and live on the very edge of district 5 but have lots of colleagues who live further out in Districts 10 and 21.

There is next to no accomodation within easy walking distance of Tanglin so you or your kids will likely go to Tanglin by bus or taxi or.... so you don't need to live in district 5 if the rents seem high to you.

By the way, this website tends to show the more expensive condos. Quite a few cheaper, older and still very nice ones (the old ones are often bigger units)are not listed on this site.
