I read recently that some foreigners are paying more than S$20,000 per month for rental of their homes. Here's a tip where you can get much cheaper rental rates - at Balestier Regency located in the Balestier region. The rental rates for a 3 + 1 room apartment at Balestier Regency is going for less than S$2,000 per month. It is located behind a shopping mall with theatre and is only a 5 mins drive from the American Club. Balestier is also centrally located in Singapore.
Have a happy stay here in Singapore.
Best wishes to one and all.
