I agree with Girl_Next_Door.Girl_Next_Door wrote:In my opinion, I would suggest for you to skip lumiere, marina bay suites, one shenton and sail of marina bay. These properties are within the business district and if your husband is not working in the business district, its no fun to stay here for you & the kid/s.
You have indicated a baby expected in 2015 as the top priority, so I assumed hospital (for the purpose of giving birth) is a top priority for you. In Singapore, Mt Elizabeth, Mt Alvernia and Gleneagles are the favorite hospitals by the affluent and upper medium class in Singapore. All private hospitals have a maternity tour, so if you are coming to Singapore for a preliminary trip, you should consider signing up to them, to have a feel on your preferred hospital.
Other hospitals are listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ho ... _Singapore
If your preferred location should be within walking distance to hawker, wet and grocery stores as well as other expats or local moms who also stay at home, Holland Village and Novena will be the closet match. There is a huge expat community in both areas, with train station nearby as well as many schools/education centers/activity centers targeted for kids. Once you search both areas with your budget, you would be able to identify the various properties that you should consider viewing. Google ., and you should be able to search for the properties online.
For appliances, its all down to negotiation with your landlord. You should highlight to your agent that you want a property that comes with good quality appliances (you have to explicitly request for good quality brands or they might just give you the really cheap ones that is easily broken), and they will do the necessary to sort out with the landlord directly. Some landlord will also give you $XXXX to shop for your own appliances, but they ultimately belong to the landlord. You just get to pick them.
To translate this into US equivalents for the OP:the lynx wrote: - It has expat-friendly restaurants, bakeries, two Cold Storage supermarkets, one 24/7 Fair Price supermarket, local wet market at Ghim Moh, Jason's Butcher if you have high expectation on your meat, pubs, arts/crafts and home decor stuff

i know for a fact that google maps allow you to share map locations with someone else but they come out as little tacks on the map - i don't know how to circle an area though.
someone wiser than me can chime in if that's possible...!!!

Only this morning I was staring into space and thinking, 'Wouldn't it be useful if you could take a Google Streetmap and highlight areas on it... '
And here we are... !
