Much reasearch later -- need help

[houstongirl]

This forum has been most helpful.

I am moving to Singapore in April and trying to research places to rent. I love the conservation homes in Everton and Townerville. They are quite expensive. I have a S$5000 rental allowance.

Can an expat who has rented these respond with pros and cons I should consider? I am assuming these come with a refrigerator, washer/dryer, and other major appliances. I understand that I need to check on Ac and not assume.

I am a single female and need to know it's secure as well.

Any help -- random or targeted - will be appreciated.

Much thanks.
