23 // Male // Where should I live and how could I find such?

[KTM_Kid]

Hi All,

It looks like I will be relocated next year to Singapore from Europe for work. So I am starting to research the renting market now - I felt I did not do enough the last time I relocated so I intend to get a head start this time.

I would be really grateful for any advice

Priorities:
- Budget: 1000 to 1600$ per month
- Work: Ubi Tech Park
- Size is not a big concern for me.
- No car. Happy to take bus and/or MRT. Quick link to the airport is a bonus.
- No dependents (Children, SO or pets)
- Employer will be helping me out.
-My main priority is to be living in a communal flatshare in which there are always people coming and going. I have to travel a lot for work and I hate being alone after coming home from a long trip. Is this common in Singapore? And would it be easy to find such options?

Nice to have:
- Access to local shops is a must but anything specific like library is not necessary.
- My interests are motorbikes, skiing (I know I will be leaving this behind) and rugby (will likely pick this back up again).
- No Pets.

Your current home and commute:
- From the countryside but lived in London previously.
- 65sqm
- I live 20 mins from work (40 mins total commute each day)

Looking forward to your suggestions and what I can expect in Singapore. And let me know if any info is missing.

What do you mean by communal flatshare? State owned inexpensive housing? Your budget is only good for sharing a flat anyway. It may be HDB where probably 70% of Singaporeans live - it's a state controlled and subsidized housing but hard to call it inexpensive, or a private property. With the planned budget you could afford a shared flat of both types.
In Singapore you are never alone, whether you will be able to socialize that easily is a different matter.
