So, let&#8217;s embark on this exciting journey and discover the diverse living options in Singapore!<\/p>\n<h2>District 1, City<\/h2>\n<h4>Boat Quay, Chinatown, Marina Square, Raffles Place, Suntec City<\/h4>\n<p>This area is mostly business and entertainment. Raffles Place is the commercial heart of Singapore, where most of the banks cluster. Suntec City and Marina Square are major shopping malls, and Boat Quay is great for laid back pubs.<\/p>\n<p>Chinatown is a bit of a contrast, and offers a lot of colour. It\u2019s just as vibrant as the Chinatowns you\u2019d find in San Francisco and New York, and just as noisy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"E236\" class=\"qowt-li-1277443675_0 qowt-list qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><span id=\"E237\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">Being close to work<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"E238\" class=\"qowt-li-1277443675_0 qowt-list qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><span id=\"E239\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">Laid back pubbing<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"E240\" class=\"qowt-li-1277443675_0 qowt-list qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><span id=\"E241\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">Shopaholics<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Featured Listing:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/rent\/listings\/the-sail-marina-bay-condo-ykTHYXxcXBprfYGTjSdDEo\">The Sail @ Marina Bay<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3526\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3526\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-04-at-11.47.35.png\" class=\"img-link media-img img-link media-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3526 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-04-at-11.47.35.png\" alt=\"Foreign tenant guide: The Sail @ Marina Bay\" width=\"864\" height=\"872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-04-at-11.47.35.png 864w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-04-at-11.47.35-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-04-at-11.47.35-297x300.png 297w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3526\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credits: Lenny V<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>District 2, Central Business District<\/h2>\n<h4>Anson Road, Chinatown, Neil Road, Raffles Place, Shenton Way, Tanjong Pagar<\/h4>\n<p>This is close to district 1, and some areas (Raffles Place, Chinatown) straddle the two.
