Renting in Singapore............ is it really that expensive

[soihok]

Niether would I, given the choice.

Geylang is the same area as Little India, yes....where the riot was recently.

If sleeze and Indian/Bangladesh general workers are your thing its certainly the place to be.

Is it possible to rent a house or a flat in Bukit Indah and drive daily back to Singapore to work via the 2nd link in Tuas?

Bukit Indah the well planned new town in Johor is likely very beautiful. How much is the rent there?

But Singapore and Malaysia is arguing about car toll increase recently.

Are you a citizen of either Singapore, Malay or PR of any of these two?

If not, forget it.

Just to update, after signing a two year contract to rent a condo unit here.

At present there is an over supply situation in Singapore. The government is scrutinising EP, WP and S Pass applications more thoroughly, the result is less applications from foreigners (already not in the loop of the immigration here) are being approved. There is a staggering amount of property up for rent.

Its a market in favour for the tenant.

FYI I have rented a 2 bed unit in a prime area, size is 1330sq/ft = 4500/month on a 2 year contract.
