For S$2000, can I rent a decent 2-bed room apartment in a nice area?
Yes you can but it depends on what you mean by a nice area. If you mean residential, yes. But if you mean near town, no. Someone we know just rented a two-bedroom HDB (public housing) apartment for $1,200. It’s ok but it’s a working class neighbourhood. Safe but common areas but not be all that clean. Also, it’s about an hour by the subway to town. (Most people in Singapore would consider that far). I would say that you can get an HDB (public housing) apartment for $1,500 half an hour by the subway from town.
