• HDB rental up the North of Singapore is generally more affordable.
• Needless to say, the Central part of Singapore is really expensive in terms of rents in all aspects.
• Private landed property rental is the most expensive in the Southern part of Singapore.

Factors affecting rental prices

There are a few factors affecting the cost of rental in Singapore:

• The location of the property
  While rental for properties closer to the CBD area is generally high, studies have shown that rental is equally in demand out of the city area.
• The kind of facilities the accommodation provides (eg. Pool, gym, etc.)
  Also, the main reason why rental for condominiums is usually higher.
• Quality of furnishings
• The age of the property
  Yes! Apparently, age matters when it comes to the rental for private properties. The younger the property, the higher rent it fetches.
• How convenient and accessible the location is.
  Where is the nearest MRT station? Where can I get food around my neighbourhood?

The location of the accommodation is an important factor. The more convenient it is for someone, the more expensive it is.

HDB rental rates in Singapore 2021

The general misconception of public housing does not apply to Singapore HDB flats.

While most people believe that public housing is usually not very well-designed, or dangerous, Singapore managed to throw these misconceptions out the window.

In fact, most Singaporeans  stay in an HDB flat, and the demand for rental for HDB is also getting more and more popular amongst expats.

• From the above table, we can see the types of HDB and areas that are more popular amongst the Singapore rental market.

Pros of renting a HDB flat:

• Lower price, being able to rent for a bigger space at a lower cost
• Closer proximity to amenities including public transport and shopping centres
• Most HDB estates have coffee shops or hawker centres which means access to affordable food

Cons of renting a HDB flat:

• HDB does not come with facilities such as a swimming pool or a gym. This means that additional costs will be incurred if one requires these facilities regularly
• Higher probability of having a higher noise level as compared to private housing
• Less security as compared to private housing

We also did a compilation of most of the private property projects and their rental rates.

Landed property rental rates in Singapore

Landed properties in Singapore include semi-detached houses, detached houses, terraced houses, cluster houses, and bungalows (including good class bungalows !).

They are highly coveted given the limited land space in Singapore, and make up just about 5per cent of the private properties in Singapore.

URA used to provide the median rental rates of individual land properties, but not anymore.

Due to the variety of landed properties (in terms of size, accessibility etc.), the rent of an entire unit can be anywhere from $2,000 to $200,000.

(Yes, a $200,000 unit is listed. *coughs* Queen Astrid Park *coughs*)

Based on 2018 data, here are the average rental costs for private landed residential properties in Singapore.

Location	Average Rental Price of Landed Property
North	$5,802
West	$7,652.64
East	$5,225.36
South	$17,796.88
Central	$9,769.90

Another thing to note for landed properties is that they tend to be rather inaccessible, usually situated far from public transport and other amenities.
