Accommodation: Finding Accommodation, Flatsharing - Singapore, Singapore - Expatriation Expatriate International

Singapore is divided up into area numbers, with certain areas being a lot more expensive than others (eg 9, 10, 2). Property in Singapore is actually very expensive whether you're renting or thinking of buying, but if you're not specifically looking to be near the city centre or the National University of Singapore, for instance, you may be able to find something less expensive.

Price is not an issue of you're on an expat package, but if you aren't you can soon be overawed by how much you'll be paying. Don't worry too much � the cost of living in Singapore is not high, and the high rent can be offset by other expenses such as transportation and food.

Just be aware though that Singapore's main red light district is Geylang, with the Southern part of the Geylang Road (from Lorong 2 to Lorong 30) being the legally designated prostitution zone. Another permitted red light area is Keong Saik Street in Chinatown .

FLATSHARING : A NEW WAY OF LIFE

Instead of living in a pokey attic room with huge rent, why not try shared accommodation? Frequently associated with students, sharing is spreading nowadays towards older established workers and covers people from 18 to 49 years old. Without falling into a community style of life such as in the 70's, you can choose to share an accommodation for a bigger space, less expense.

Flatsharing is a way to meet more and more followers who choose to break a lonely life, save money or just find an affordable acommodation in a difficult market. This way of life has numerous advantages in term of money, practicality or social life.

The classifieds section of The Straits Times (Singapore 's main newspaper) is a good place to start looking, with plenty of ads everyday for buying, renting and flatsharing. Another good idea would be to find an Internet forum where people from your own country may be wanting to share accommodation in Singapore, or who are already out there and have a spare room they would like to sub-let.
