Dear Internet Friends,

Thank you for your emails and the subsequent house-hunting trips which many times do put bread on the table to support the families of my realtors, all of whom don't earn a cent if they don't find housing for you.

This page reports on some of the latest developments in modern condos and bungalows in Singapore in response to many queries from surfers. There are numerous educational tips for expats relocating to Singapore, e.g. The Internet Realtors, Singapore to make your house hunting an easy one..

On behalf of my team, I welcome you to the sunshine state of Singapore.

Due to an increase in case load, conflicting house-hunting schedules and last-minute viewing from newly arrived expatriates, I may be unable to attend to you personally.

I assure you that my team of Asia USA Rental Realtors is committed and will get you affordable homes at the best rental package deal tailored to your specifications and expectations.

You are the reason for our existence and you come first. I hope you will enjoy the various aspects of living in Singapore.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS & EMAILS.

The Paterson Edge condos represent the new condos built from 1999. All new condos are now provided marble flooring of light brown colour in the living and dining area. Black granite flooring, white grey or reddish brown colours may be seen.	Sand-coloured wood strips are found in more exclusive condos and are seen in the Paterson Edge. Unit shown above has marble flooring.	The Paterson's Edge kitchen hatch appeals to Caucasians. Some upscale condos like Grange 80 have direct air conditioning into the kitchen and black granite counter tops. Other condos have open concept kitchens so that the kitchen gets the air conditioning too.

The cost of the air conditioner maintenance is usually the Tenant's responsibility and depends on how strong the negotiating position of either the Landlord or Tenant. If you like a choice unit and quibble over this, you may lose the unit to another expatriate. The cost is estimated to be S15/blower/month. The garden and pool maintenance and sometimes the autogate are the responsibility of tenants of houses.	The "jungle" view really attracts most Caucasian tenants and is seen in 2nd-5th floor units in many condos fronting Paterson Road. Floor-to-ceiling or full length glass windows bring in natural light and on higher floors, you will get privacy. White vertical blinds are provided in the Paterson Edge condos.	The entry foyer is on the left. The audio-visual intercom is found in the Paterson Edge but some new condos have only the audio intercom. The programmable control gadget is meant to let you time your switching on of the air conditioners via the phone. It also controls the infra-red sensors (dining area ceiling).

Utility bills (water, gas and electricity) for a small 2- or 3-bedroom apartment are around S$250 per month since you will be out most of the time. For bungalows, it may be $1,000 per month if you switch on the air conditioners 24 hours per day in all rooms. The Paterson Edge is not equipped by city gas. You may need 2 gas cylinders in case one runs out in the middle of cooking!	The ductless air conditioning outlet from the false ceiling do away with the hanging split unit blowers. Some water condensation may stain the areas near the duct. The bedrooms have wall hanging split units. Some upscale condos have all ducted units. Do NOT leave the air conditioners on when you go on holidays as one expat in the Paterson Edge finds the room parquet damaged by the water leaks.	Bright kitchen and dining areas are much favoured by Caucasian tenants. The emergency alarm lever is at the side of the wall of the kitchen, above the counter top. One is in the master bedroom. You rarely need it.

Cable TV points in the living room & in all bedrooms in The Paterson Edge. Some new condos have only one or 2 rooms cabled or none. Check this out before you rent the unit. The Tenant pays the TV and cable licences and fees.	4 squarish spot lights will be sufficient. There is one facing the left wall. Too many will heat up the spaces below the lights. Down lights from false ceilings are practical.


The built-in fridge (left) has a wooden doors. Ice-maker fridges are common in new bigger upscale condos but not in the small Paterson Edge condos. Some developers, such as Nassim Wood's have pre-planned the piping, thereby avoiding the hacking of walls to connect the water supply. Ice-maker fridges are uncommon in Singapore condos.	Caucasians love the greenery outside the 2nd bedroom and the master bedroom. Window cleaning. It will be difficult to clean the exteriors of the high glass window panes as the Landlord here is not responsible for this aspect.	Emergency alarm button (right of light switch) in the master bedroom alerts the security station is present in some upscale condos. Paterson Edge's is the lever not the push button type of false alarms. The security station is manned 24-hourly and is well positioned facing the main entrance and the lift lobbies. Nothing can escape the vigilant guards.

The "stainless steel" foreign branded microwave and the oven are uncommon in ordinary condos and are considered "cool". The cooker hob, hood, dual circular sink basins, counter top are of "stainless steel" too. Some Caucasians consider the kitchen to be hip and cool. The rent per sq. ft is really high compared to the Emerald Garden which is also brand new and a 2-minute walk to Raffles Place subway. Email judy@asiahomes.com if you are keen on any unit.	A couple of domestic workers have had fallen to their deaths cleaning the windows of the apartments, therefore you must be aware of the dangers of asking the domestic worker to do such jobs. External cleaning of the windows may not be regularly done by the Management though. If you are fussy with window cleanliness, select a condo with half-length windows instead.	Other security measures are: Audio-visual intercom at lift level, lift access card to your own unit and side gate, closure of main gate by 12 midnight with access for motorist via remote control. The covered basement car parking lots ensure that your car is protected from the elements and bird droppings!. Only 61 units. Pool and gym but no tennis or squash courts for the hot-blooded young Caucasians.


An electronic safe in the master bedroom is sometimes found in new condos.	White-coloured bath tubs are the fashion in new condos and much appreciated by Caucasians.	The Maid's or Utility room, next to the kitchen of 30 sq. feet, is too small for a live-in maid or "domestic worker". Many new condos have very small maid's room.	The "Terror" of the concrete jungle with looks that could kill, needing veterinary help for its septic right neck bite wounds was brought in by a kind woman.

Note the shower head's highest point as many tall Caucasians suffer from having to shower from lower-sited showers positioned for Asians. Some condos have a higher positioning. Some don't.	A few new suburban 3-bedroom condos have a separate shower cubicle, but not The Paterson Edge's 2-bedroom which is too small. One Tenant wanted a shower curtain in the common bathroom which is really cramped.	A stack-up washing machine and dryer of the European brand will fit into the small area outside the utility room. Do not buy Japanese brands as they don't have stacking frames. Some landlords may just provide a washer-cum-dryer but this may not be satisfactory for you.	BE KIND TO PETS, is a community education project sponsored by AsiaHomes Internet to promote good care of our companion animals. The above picture shows the typical male cat who will battle with others in the Housing & Development Board apartment precinct, going for the jugular blood vessels. Infected bite wounds became septic. The cat recovered after veterinary treatment.

It is not practical to hack into marble walls of the bathrooms. Many new condos have such marble wall and the landlord is reluctant to accede to request to relocate the shower head.	Jacuzzi bath tubs in white are present in the upscale Grange 80 & 70 condos. In addition, the glass blocks on external walls of bathrooms, brings in natural daylight to the master bathroom. Anderson Green condos have this feature.	The housing term, "2+1" 990sf refers to 2 bedroom with one utility or maid's room. Some advertisers will include a study room without doors as "+1" making it 2+1+1. Rents are monthly and payable in advance and are in Singapore Dollars.	Looking after the stray cats, getting them neutered and adopted is deemed by the older generation to be a waste of money. However, the MTV generation is more caring of the strays and neutered ones with one ear tip clipped will not be euthanased. if caught by the government cat catchers.

The developer provided shelvings below the basin of the bathrooms. Many Tenants renting new condos, have been caught without such shelvings, after signing the lease agreement.	Roof terrace jacuzzis, as in the Nassim Woods' penthouse are rarely available in new condos. Maintenance is paid by the Tenant. The cost is around $100 per month.	The Paterson Edge's 2+1 will be of interest to singles or couples without children. It has no private lift lobbies unlike many upmarket condos. The Borders bookstore and the Orchard subway are just a 2-minute walk.	I hope you and your family will enjoy your stay in Singapore and not encounter any two-legged terrors in the concrete jungle.
