Hi,
My partner and I are moving to Singapore in March from the UK. We think our budget will be around $3000, and we'd ideally like a 2 bed-flat so family & friends can visit and stay.
From our research so far, we think Newton/Novena looks a good option, especially as transport links are a priority; he will work in CBD, I don't know yet but would like to be MRT/buses. Everything we've read so far seems to point this as a good area, although I can't see any information about what else is there? I know about United Square & Novena shopping centres, but how about little shops? bars? restaurants? Is it all just housing in this area?
Also, how long do you think it would take to walk to Orchard Road (along Scott's Road, I think?) from Newton circus? Ten minutes?
I've looked up a few
property websites and I think our budget will be ok for a 2-bed here - do you agree? Are internet prices inflated? Can anyone recommend an agent?
Thanks very much to anyone who can help. All advice is much appreciated.
