How do I find a place to live in Bukit Timah?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Bukit Timah involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget. This will help you narrow down your options, as the cost of living in Bukit Timah can be quite high. Next, decide on the type of accommodation you want. Bukit Timah offers a range of options, from condominiums and apartments to landed properties. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online property portals available, such as PropertyGuru, 99.co, and SRX Property. These websites allow you to filter your search based on location, property type, price range, and other criteria. You can also engage a real estate agent to help you in your search. They can provide you with expert advice and access to properties that may not be listed online. When you find a property you're interested in, arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property and the surrounding area. Before making a decision, consider factors such as proximity to public transportation, schools, and amenities. Bukit Timah is known for its green spaces, so you might also want to consider the property's proximity to nature reserves and parks. Once you've found a property you like, you'll need to negotiate the lease terms and sign a tenancy agreement. Be sure to read the agreement carefully and understand all the terms before signing. Finally, once the agreement is signed and the deposit is paid, you can move into your new home in Bukit Timah," explained one expat living in Bukit Timah, Singapore.
