Place to Stay in Singapore

If you're a foreigner, and you'll be in Singapore for some time, you'll be needing a place to stay. Most people rent a room in HDBs. They're basically apartment/condos built by the Singaporean government. You can only own one if you're a citizen or a PR (Permanent Resident).

A forest of HDBs

Most set ups of HDBs are 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 common room and a kitchen. The HDB program I must say is a very good housing program compared to other countries where they'll relocate you to a place you don't even know existed. Government housing in Singapore is well designed and strategically located near home needs like groceries, banks, food courts, bus stops, train stations etc.

Range of room rent

My HDB is in front of the bus AND train station, a stone's throw away from the grocery, bank, food shops like Old Chang Kee, and a ton of hawker centres! Now if only I could get work nearby :D
