There are two types of housing for rent in Singapore
1. Private Property Rental
Condominiums are the most common type of private property in Singapore. If you are looking for good facilities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, gym, sauna, barbeque pits, etc, renting a condo in Singapore would be your ideal choice.
Private apartments in Singapore are similar to condos but normally lack most of the facilities that are found in condominiums. They also tend to be older buildings since most of the new private construction is done in the form of condominiums.
Stand alone houses come in the form of terrace houses, townhouses, and detached bungalows. Although these houses lack common facilities that you would get with a condominium, it's made up by the size and privacy of these properties.
2. Public Housing Rental
More than 80% of Singapore's local population lives in public housing locally known as HDB flats or Housing Development Board Flats. Public housing in Singapore is not considered a sign of poverty or a lower standard of living as compared to public housing in other developed countries. HDB estates are usually well planned and maintained. Many basic facilities such as banks, local schools, clinics, local shops, markets, subway station, bus stations, etc. are located in close proximity.
