It\u2019s a busy, fast-paced area filled with professionals and surrounded by some of the most desirable homes in the city. But with that convenience comes a challenge \u2013 rental prices here are among the highest in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what are your options?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\">\r\n<h3>Table of contents<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"#h-start-by-defining-your-priorities-nbsp\" data-level=\"2\">Start by defining your priorities\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#h-tanjong-pagar-living-right-in-the-cbd\" data-level=\"2\">Tanjong Pagar: Living right in the CBD<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#h-tiong-bahru-heritage-cafes-and-a-5-minute-commute\" data-level=\"2\">Tiong Bahru: Heritage, cafes, and a 5-minute commute<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#h-robertson-quay-and-river-valley-leisure-meets-luxury\" data-level=\"2\">Robertson Quay and River Valley: Leisure meets luxury<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#h-aljunied-kallang-and-lavender-value-and-connectivity\" data-level=\"2\">Aljunied, Kallang, and Lavender: Value and connectivity<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#h-the-rental-decision-matrix-what-s-your-best-choice-nbsp\" data-level=\"2\">The rental decision matrix \u2013 what\u2019s your best choice?\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-start-by-defining-your-priorities-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Start by defining your priorities\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your main goal is to make the most of your time while keeping your housing costs in check. Time, after all, is one of your most valuable assets \u2013 and your daily commute plays a huge role in how much of it you get to keep. That\u2019s why any area you consider living in should allow you to reach your office within 30 minutes by public transport.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, your decision comes down to balancing three main factors: how much you\u2019re willing to spend on rent, your preferred lifestyle, and how much extra time you\u2019re prepared to lose to commuting. So, if you\u2019re looking at areas further out, you\u2019ll want to carefully weigh every dollar saved against the additional travel time it brings.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this guide, we\u2019ll look into four areas that are popular among professionals working in Tanjong Pagar:<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tanjong Pagar \u2013 for ultimate convenience<\/span><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tiong Bahru \u2013 for charm and short commutes<\/span><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Robertson Quay \/ River Valley \u2013 for lifestyle and leisure<\/span><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aljunied \/ Kallang \/ Lavender \u2013 for affordability and easy airport access<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-tanjong-pagar-living-right-in-the-cbd\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Tanjong Pagar: Living right in the CBD<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-91489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/renting-near-tanjong-pagar-CBD.jpg\" alt=\"Panoramic view of Singapore skyline business building and Singapore port Tanjong Pagar Terminal during sunset\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If convenience is your top priority, then living in Tanjong Pagar itself is hard to beat. You can walk to work, enjoy your mornings without rushing, and skip public transport entirely. MRT stations like Tanjong Pagar (EWL), Maxwell (TEL), and Shenton Way (TEL) are all nearby, giving you excellent access to other parts of Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-what-it-s-like-to-live-here\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What it\u2019s like to live here<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tanjong Pagar offers a sleek, urban lifestyle. You\u2019re surrounded by upscale dining, boutique gyms, and stylish hangouts \u2013 especially around Duxton Hill and Duxton Road, that make it easy to unwind after work. Ultimately, this area suits busy professionals who want a convenient, all-in-one city experience and don\u2019t mind paying more for it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-what-you-ll-pay\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What you\u2019ll pay<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renting here comes at a premium. A 1-bedroom condo can easily cost around S$4,000 per month, making it one of the pricier areas to live in. For HDB units, rents generally hover around the S$3,700 mark or higher, especially for well-renovated flats in central locations.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trade-off is clear \u2013 you\u2019re paying top dollar to buy back your time. You\u2019ll save hours each week on commuting, giving you more freedom to rest, exercise, or socialise.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n    <section id=\"portal-widget-tab-panel-6a3eeca125021\"

\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just one MRT stop away, Tiong Bahru might be the most balanced choice for those working in Tanjong Pagar. The travel time between Tiong Bahru MRT and Tanjong Pagar MRT is only five minutes, which means you\u2019ll barely notice the commute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, you can even take a quick bus ride \u2013 it\u2019ll get you there in around 20 minutes. This near-CBD connectivity gives you almost the same time advantage as living in Tanjong Pagar, but at a noticeably lower price point.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-what-it-s-like-to-live-here-0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What it\u2019s like to live here<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tiong Bahru isn\u2019t just loved for its location \u2013 it\u2019s admired for its unique charm and personality. This is one of Singapore\u2019s most distinctive neighbourhoods, where heritage meets modern living. The low-rise, pre-war Art Deco flats give the area a nostalgic, almost cinematic feel, drawing plenty of photographers and Instagrammers who come to capture its timeless beauty.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking through the neighbourhood, you\u2019ll notice how the old and new blend effortlessly. Trendy caf\u00e9s and artisanal bakeries sit beside traditional mom-and-pop shops, creating a perfect balance of heritage and gentrification. The iconic Tiong Bahru Market is a must-visit \u2013 a lively hawker centre packed with local favourites like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chwee kueh<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lor mee<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and roasted meats. It\u2019s a local institution that perfectly complements the area\u2019s stylish, caf\u00e9-filled streets.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also find plenty of well-known spots here \u2013 from the iconic Forty Hands caf\u00e9, which helped kickstart the area\u2019s coffee culture, to Plain Vanilla Bakery and Tiong Bahru Bakery, both local favourites. There are also independent bookshops and art galleries scattered around, creating a vibrant yet laid-back atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For working professionals, this neighbourhood offers the perfect balance \u2013 a place that feels lively, cultured, and social, while still just minutes away from the office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-what-you-ll-pay-0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What you\u2019ll pay<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, you\u2019ll find both modern condos like Highline Residences and older HDB units. A 2-bedroom HDB flat near the MRT costs about S$2,400 with average rents going up to S$3,500 per month.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering the minimal commute time and lower rent, Tiong Bahru offers a good balance of cost, comfort, and connectivity. However, demand here is extremely strong. With overall rental volumes tightening across Singapore, these affordable city-fringe HDB units often attract multiple interested tenants. It\u2019s common for final rental prices to edge closer to S$3,200, especially for renovated homes in prime spots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those eyeing private homes, 1-bedroom condos average around S$4,000 per month, while larger units can go up to S$5,400.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n    <section id=\"portal-widget-tab-panel-6a3eeca1256e5\"

quay and bridge with overcast stormy weather\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set along the scenic Singapore River, Robertson Quay and River Valley offer a vibrant, central location that keeps you close to both the CBD and Orchard Road. The area is well-connected, with Fort Canning (DTL) and Great World (TEL) MRT stations providing easy access to the rest of the island.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But unlike the CBD, the higher rent here doesn\u2019t buy you a shorter commute \u2013 it buys you lifestyle and luxury. Travelling to Tanjong Pagar typically takes 15 to 25 minutes by bus or taxi, which is several times longer than the quick 5-minute trip from Tiong Bahru.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, many residents here gladly accept the extra travel time. The draw of a riverfront neighbourhood filled with dining, nightlife, and recreation often outweighs the inconvenience of a longer commute.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-what-it-s-like-to-live-here-1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What it\u2019s like to live here<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life in Robertson Quay and River Valley blends convenience with character. You\u2019ll find riverside cafes, alfresco restaurants, wine bars, and boutique fitness studios all within walking distance. On weekends, it\u2019s common to see residents enjoying a jog along the promenade or meeting friends for brunch by the water.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great World Mall is just nearby, providing quick access to groceries, dining, and entertainment. The neighbourhood has a polished yet relaxed atmosphere \u2013 perfect if you enjoy being social but still want peace and privacy when you\u2019re home.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, Robertson Quay and River Valley suit professionals who enjoy being at the centre of things, value well-designed spaces, and prefer a neighbourhood that keeps city life within easy reach while offering a touch of calm along the river.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Units here are also larger than the average CBD apartment. Most range from 883 to nearly 2,000 square feet, often with two or three bedrooms. This makes the area popular with professionals who prefer spacious homes, couples looking to upgrade, or groups of friends interested in co-living arrangements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-what-you-ll-pay-1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What you\u2019ll pay<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renting in Robertson Quay and River Valley does come at a premium, reflecting its central positioning and upscale appeal. A 1-bedroom condo in this area typically rents for around S$4,000 per month, while larger 2- or 3-bedroom units can go significantly higher, depending on the development and amenities.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no HDB flats in this part of town, so all housing options fall within the private rental market. It\u2019s a neighbourhood for those who value comfort, convenience, and a central, well-connected address \u2013 and who don\u2019t mind paying a little extra for the lifestyle that comes with it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n    <section id=\"portal-widget-tab-panel-6a3eeca125e8a\" class=\"portal-widget-tab-panel\">\n        <div class=\"swiper-container\"

\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For renters who want the most value for money, the Aljunied\u2013Kallang\u2013Lavender cluster stands out. The East-West Line (EWL) provides direct and reliable access to Tanjong Pagar, with travel times averaging 15 to 20 minutes \u2013 well within the ideal commuting range for city-based professionals.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, what truly sets this area apart is its excellent access to Changi Airport. If your job requires frequent business trips, you\u2019ll appreciate how efficient the journey is. From Kallang MRT Station, it takes only 28 minutes by train to reach Changi Airport, requiring just one transfer at Tanah Merah. Prefer a taxi? The trip takes about 15 minutes, thanks to the short 17 km driving distance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This convenience especially appeals to young foreign professionals who love to travel around Southeast Asia. Many choose to work in Singapore not only for its stability and strong SGD-based salaries, but also because it serves as a perfect gateway to regional destinations. Weekend escapes to Bali, Bangkok, or Kuala Lumpur are just a short flight away \u2013 and living here means you\u2019re always minutes from the terminal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-what-it-s-like-to-live-here-2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What it\u2019s like to live here<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another reason many professionals love this area is its unbeatable food scene. The Aljunied and Geylang sub-districts are well-known as Singapore\u2019s most authentic local food hubs. Here, you\u2019ll find some of the best hawker and specialty dishes the city has to offer, often at prices far lower than those in the CBD.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to look past Geylang\u2019s old reputation and focus on what truly defines it today \u2013 its culinary richness. From the smoky,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wok hei<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 Swee Guan Hokkien Mee to the comforting L32 Handmade Noodles and the round-the-clock 126 Dim Sum Wen Dao Shi, the area is a food lover\u2019s paradise. You\u2019ll also find unique eateries like Koung\u2019s Wan Tan Noodles, \u0102n L\u00e0 Ghi\u1ec1n for authentic Vietnamese fare, and Penang Seafood Restaurant for northern Malaysian favourites.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This deep concentration of authentic, high-quality, and affordable dining options makes daily living here both enjoyable and economical. You\u2019ll spend less on food without sacrificing taste or variety \u2013 and you\u2019ll always have something new to try just around the corner.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-what-you-ll-pay-2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What you\u2019ll pay<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this cluster, HDB flats generally rent for around S$3,000 to S$3,400 per month, with Aljunied being the most affordable, followed by Lavender and Kallang. If you\u2019re looking at specific flat sizes, a 2-room unit in Aljunied can go for about S$1,900, while larger 3-room flats in Lavender or Kallang tend to be around S$2,700.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those considering private housing, prices are naturally higher \u2013 averaging S$3,700 to S$4,700 per month. However, smaller 1-bedroom units in older developments can still be found for roughly S$2,800 to S$3,800, offering a reasonable balance between space, comfort, and cost.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
