Dear
Surfers,
BIG DOWNTOWN APARTMENTS FOR LESS THAN S$5,000
Thank
you for your emails. In response to numerous email queries about the
cost of housing in Singapore, I have this research report written to give
all expatriates intending to relocate in Singapore an idea of the cost of
condo rentals.
I hope this report will help in your negotiations
for a reasonable housing allowance as Singapore is an expensive but clean
and beautiful city to live in.
On behalf of my colleagues and
associate realtors, I welcome you to sunny Singapore and if you come
during the monsoon periods, it may be rainy.
In summary, in 2003,
the 2500 - 3000 sq. ft condos in downtown or near Orchard Road are in very
high demand. Rentals for new condos with the appealing new bathrooms
and kitchen cabinets are from $7,000 - $8,000 while those for older ones
are around $5,000 - $6,000. New penthouses of 3000 - 6000 sq. ft
rent from $10,000 - $20,000. For example, the new Avalon penthouse
of around 4000 sq. ft rents around $15,000 while the Nassim Woods
penthouse of 6000 sq. ft rents around $20,000.
I appreciate
your emails and thank you for entrusting to my company the task of finding
a good home for you. At times, I will be out house-hunting with
other expatriates and cannot attend to you personally. My team of
experienced Asia USA
Realtors will find you the most ideal Singapore home.

In response to surfers' request
for photos of
BIG & AFFORDABLE downtown condos,
some photos of
The Cairnhill and The Beaumont
are shown below.
The Sam Kiang
Mansion, The Bayron
& the luxury apartments of The Grange 80 and 70
built around 1999 are more attractive but smaller. They are
introduced here to provide expats who need some
info to negotiate
appropriate housing allowances.
SOME UNITS MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR
RENT.

Sam Kiang Mansion
New
white bath tub &
separate shower stall in the master
bathroom are usually found in the
new condos. After seeing
them, many expatriates
find The Cairnhill
& older
apartments
unattractive.
If you want spaciousness
within your budget limitations, you have to take older condos or be
prepared to foot out $500 or $1,000 more per month from your pocket
to rent a new condo or one with water frontage.

RENT
