Single PR can only buy private housing (condo). They cannot buy HDB, 35 or 55 nevermind. Only Single Citizen can buy HDB if over 35 (3 RM flat only).
Solution: Marry a Singaporean.

http://www.sla.gov.sg/htm/ser/ser0306.htm#bWhat is non-restricted residential property under the Residential Property Act
A foreign person is not restricted from acquiring:
* any apartment within a building;
* any unit in an approved condominium development under the Planning Act; and
Note: A foreign person is not allowed to acquire all the apartments within a building or all the units in an approved condominium development without the prior approval of the Minister for Law.
* a leasehold estate in restricted residential property for a term not exceeding 7 years, including any further term which may be granted by way of an option for renewal.
The above only refers to private residential property and not HDB.
The govt removed the six level or higher restriction a few years back too.

You could consider commercial property if it is for investment.
Or a HDB Shophouse if you want the best of both worlds...live upstairs and rent out the shop below.
