Good area and Renting cost

[Levenson]

Could somebody give some advice on renting cost and place?

We are keen to rent a place in location that is similar to the Hampstead/Highgate/Richmond area in London, UK.
We look at some websites and got feeling that Tanglin/Holland/Bukit Timah Area area is good and pleasant, and very family oriented.
Is it correct? If not, what would you advise?

Also, what type of an apartment we could rent there? And what would be maximum renting cost for a good place there (price that is not over the top but still offers a nice place)?

We would greatly appreciate any links to rents and locations.

Many thanks.

The maximum renting cost for a good place there (price that is not over the top but still offers a nice place) is S$8000-10000/month.
Most people ask for the minimum here, which is S$3000-4000.
