Is the cost of living in Tanjong Pagar high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Tanjong Pagar, they wrote:

"Tanjong Pagar is considered one of the more expensive areas to live in Singapore. The cost of living here is high due to its prime location in the central business district. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center can be quite steep. The cost of groceries, dining out, and general expenses like utilities and internet are also higher than in other parts of Singapore. Public transportation is readily available and efficient, but if you choose to own a car, be prepared for high costs associated with vehicle ownership and parking. Despite the high cost of living, many residents feel that the convenience, accessibility, and vibrant lifestyle offered by Tanjong Pagar make it worth the expense," said one expat in Tanjong Pagar.
