"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.
