At this point I've become comfortable with the fact that I'll likely end up paying around $2,500 a month for a decent
condo with some amenities.
It's just a bit of a shock when you move from a fairly low-cost area in the US.
Such is the way of Singapore, it seems.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but your options for $2500 aren't going to be that widespread, there will be some
condos available at that price but don't expect anything central and don't expect the Ritz

Was thinking that myself.
I think the ones up near me on Old Tampines Road, not sure of the name might be around $2500.

sorry mate ... YMCA hotel has been in business for so long .. their hostel has not gone up-market, if you apply for staying there, through your church etc etc. you get amazingly low rate ..
then again, that is not for Singaporeans .. for REAL VISITORS ..

When I lived once in Singapore as an exchange student to NUS, I stayed at an HBD on Toa Payoh. I shared the flat with another friend and it costed us about 1100sgd a month with electric and water bill. They said that was already as low as you could get. Though there are others who share their flat and you just have to see them online. Our place was a quite near to where we are going so it gave us a good comfort.
Food is no problem as there are a lot of hawker on the ground of our place which served great food.
