"Expats planning to retire in Orchard Road, should be aware that the cost of living is high, with housing being particularly expensive. They should also know that Singapore has a tropical climate, with high humidity and temperatures throughout the year. Healthcare in Singapore is of a high standard, but it can be expensive, so it's important to have comprehensive health insurance. English is one of the official languages in Singapore, making it easier for expats to communicate and integrate. Singapore has strict laws and regulations, including penalties for littering and chewing gum, so it's important to familiarize yourself with these to avoid fines. The city-state is known for its safety and cleanliness, making it a comfortable place for retirees. Public transportation in Singapore is efficient and reliable, and Orchard Road is well-served by buses and trains, reducing the need for a private vehicle. The area is known for its shopping malls, restaurants, and entertainment options, providing plenty of activities for retirees. Singapore has a high standard of education, including international schools, which could be a consideration for expats with school-age children or grandchildren. Lastly, while Singapore is a multicultural city with a high quality of life, it can take time to adjust to the local culture and lifestyle," said another expat in Orchard Road, Singapore.
