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.

Only if it's been privatized.

Single Citizen can buy any size of resale HDB flat except studio unit. No longer restricted to 3 rm flat.

What 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.
http://www.sla.gov.sg/htm/ser/ser0306.htm#b
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.
