Is the cost of living in Serangoon Gardens high?

"The cost of living in Serangoon Gardens, is considered relatively high compared to other areas in the country. This is due to its status as a prime residential area, with a mix of landed properties and private condominiums. The cost of housing is significantly higher than the national average, with rental prices for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center being quite steep. In terms of everyday expenses, the cost of groceries, dining, and transportation is also above average. Groceries can be expensive, especially for imported goods. Dining out in restaurants in this area can also be costly, although there are cheaper options available at local hawker centers. Public transportation is widely used and is relatively affordable, but owning a private vehicle can be expensive due to the high cost of vehicle ownership in Singapore. Overall, while the cost of living in Serangoon Gardens is high, it offers a high standard of living with access to good schools, recreational facilities, and other amenities," said one person in Serangoon Gardens.
