Condo & Preschools for a young family from Sydney AU
Posted: Thu, 19 Jul 2012 1:34 pm
Hi All,
My family and I are moving to Singapore at the end of the August. We have some temporary accom lined up on Orchard near Scotts road and will use this as a base to find some where to live. I would love to hear your opinions/recommendations on where this could be.
We are a young active family, our two boys are nearly 2 & 4 years old. currenlty we live near the beach and do a lot of swimming and bike riding and would like to continue to do this in Singapore. I also love my Yoga and will be looking for a studio to practice with.
An older style apartment is fine, as we prefer space and don't want to feel cramped. Somewhere with/near to lots of trees or parklands and easy access to an MRT would be great. Access to a grocery store is pretty important too as we are not getting a car. Our budget is around $5000 pm. 2 or 3 bedroom plus a maids room.
I also am looking for a preschool for the 4 year old. I'm after something that is nurturing and encourages learning through play and positive interaction. Also somewhere with a low turn over in staff and near where we will be living.
My husbands work is located at Raffles Place and the Green, Red, Yellow & Purple lines should be fine for the MRT
Buses won't work for me as I don't want to have to collapse the pram every time I want to board a bus.
Looking forward to hear what you think!
Many thanks,
Kate.
