New Yorker Moving To Singapore - Need Help ASAP
Hello. I will be relocating with my company very shortly to Singapore.
I am single, mid 30s and am trying to figure out the best places to live in the city...areas and actual condo names.
I am looking for a one bedroom and have a small dog. I would prefer something new(ish) that either has a gym or is close to one.
Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Check with your company that they pay for a temporary Serviced Apartment for one month or so, that gives you time to hire an agent (no fees - only if it comes to a deal) and to look around. Just tell your agent your budget and what kind of apartment ....
I pre-checked some by brwosing through the Singapore expat pages ... So you get a feeling and most of them have some pictures. You still need to check them out, but as said it provides you some first impressions.

Yes. I will get temp. housing for as long as I need it. I am trying to get an idea in advance about which areas are most desirable.
I have no budget as I am only looking for a one bedroom and from what I have seen price wont be an issue. Even if it is $7k or so.
Work would be in the CBD.
Does this information help?
Thanks again.

i tink the condo ICON will suit ur needs just fine
its got great facilities, is brand new, and is within the CBD.
Walking distance to virtually anywhere in the business district and right above an MRT station (red/green line).
Orchard road is just 2 train stations away or a 10-min cab ride away.
What's more, it's got nice restaurants and shops just below the apartments.
See the photos at: http://www.singaporeexpats.com/singapor ... o/icon.htm
i'm not an agent, i just happened to see the condo before and i live around that area
good luck!

with your budget, you can easily get a unit in the Carribean @ Keppel Bay or as someone mentioned The ICON at Tanjong Pagar (which is IN the CBD)... there's even spare change!terrieterrie wrote:Yes.

You would definitely be able to rent 1 bedroom for $6-$7K in a brand new development - e.g. ICON - closer to CBD, Residences at Evelyn, the Metz - closer to the Orchard shopping area. I think all brand new developments/newer developments have pool and gym facilities - so worries there. Although with brand new developments, the apts are not as big compared to the ones in NY, so don't bring your furniture.
you might also want to consider a 2 bed apt so you will have extra space for your dog/study/guest area.
hope this info helps!
