accommodation allowances again!

[moniker]

I am intending to move to a new job in Singapore with my wife and baby in June. The offer includes an accommodation allowance of S$1500.

Is this sufficient enough to get a decent 2 bed apartment? :

I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but I am about to sign the contract in the next day or so and so need to know very quickly because this could alter my decision about the job.

Many thanks

Yes. S$1500 will be able to rent a fairly modern 2 bedroom apartment. Maybe not in the Orchard vicinity but enough for apartments in the East Coast, which is a great location and yet not too far to city.

Where is your office located ?

For $1500, finding housing near to your office is not really easy.

Since your office is within walking distance to the Tanjong Pagar MRT (train) station, I suggest you to find a 2 bedroom apartment near the East-West MRT line.

Please goto http://www.singaporeexpats.com/housing- ... operty.htm and search for apartments with budget < 1800 and choose district 15 and 16. You can see the available housing choices in the results.
