It’s just not fair: while the rest of the world has to sacrifice scenery to live in the city, people in Singapore who live in the city can live among “lush greenery,” which replicates a “resort” feel! River Place Condominiums advertises that it provides, “the perfect place for an after-dinner stroll along a tree-lined promenade.” Right in the heart of a city! Traditionally, urban residents have had to give up a lot to live in the city: they had to endure higher crime rates, traffic noise and just plain ugly surroundings. They did this all in the name of convenience. In Singapore, urban residents get to live among beautiful surroundings and feel relatively safe, because the crime rate in Singapore is one of the lowest in the world. Condo for sale in Singapore are ultra-exclusive and luxurious, and they are very expensive; so many people take the route of renting a condo.
In addition to River Place, some popular places for condo rental in Singapore are Cavenaugh Lodge and Newton Edge. Cavenaugh Lodge is a low-rise, manor-style dwelling built with exclusivity in mind: this is another heart-of-the-city residence that creates a “resort” atmosphere for the wealthy. Newton Edge is a brand-new facility, with prices starting at 3 million American dollars. With these condo prices, it’s easy to see why so many people are interested in condo rental in Singapore. Condo rental prices seem to average about $2,000 American dollars per month, thus making it accessible to more people. Now, more people are able to live with the gorgeous scenery and world-class facilities of condo rentals in Singapore. The high-class cosmopolitan lifestyle awaits!
There are three different types of condos in Singapore: mass market, mid-market, and high end. Mass market condos are located in the suburbs, and they are the least expensive to rent. Mid-market condos are located just on the fringe of prime districts; these condos are in the middle price range. Finally, high end condos are located in the heart of prime districts, and they are the most expensive type of condo. It should be said that, although all of these different classes of condos are expensive, the prices do not seem to “out-of-sync” with major metropolitan areas in the rest of the world. But Singapore has the advantage of looking more like a resort than a major world city, with all the normal city’s ugly city scenery. A quick glance at some pictures of Singapore will confirm that the city-state is beautiful.
There are several advantages of renting condos as opposed to buying them, but this tactic also has its drawbacks. First of all, people can rent a condo without a lot of money up front. Renters also do not have to worry about the property’s devaluation, and they have few responsibilities for upkeep of the rented condo. On the other hand, when condo renters move out, the only money they get back is their security deposit. Also, there are limitations on how much personalization renters can do, such as painting, wallpapering, and general renovating. Too, the landlord might not renew the lease, or he/she may ask the occupants to move if he/she or family members want to move in.
Condo living in Singapore is a distinctive, exclusive affair, with condos offering world-class amenities to lure wealthy people. However, though renting condos is still expensive, it is a popular option among others. The rent for condos in Singapore seems to hover around $2,000-$4,000 American dollars, which seems in-line with luxury condo rental in America. Because of its huge tourist industry, short-term rental of condos is an alternative to staying in hotels. There are several condos in Singapore taking care of the “transient” people: minimum stays start at one week. Two top companies for finding condo rentals in Singapore are iProperties and Property Guru.
Singapore is a beautiful city featuring breathtaking high-rise condominiums: indeed, most condominiums in Singapore appear to be high-rise, as compared with some of the sprawling, cottage-type condos in America. With these exclusive condos, urban dwellers in Singapore can have luxury, convenience and relative safety, while the rest of the world’s urban population must make compromises to live in the heart of the city. Again, it just isn’t fair!
