What is the perfect size for a home? In the eyes of an increasing number of property buyers, two-bedroom (2BR) apartments are ideal.
Singapore household sizes have fallen over the years, with many couples having only one or two children or deciding to skip childbearing altogether. As family sizes shrink, so too does the need for a large number of bedrooms.
2BR condo units are ideal for singles or couples without children as the spare bedroom can double up as a home office or guest bedroom. The 2BR layout is also a good choice for couples with one child.
In addition, HDB upgraders can take advantage of the relative affordability of 2BR apartments to purchase their first private property.
To give you an idea of what’s on the market, here are 10 of the cheapest 2BR condo listings on PropertyGuru.
1. The Hillford (Upper Bukit Timah) – $610,000
The Hillford is a 60-year leasehold condo located on Jalan Jurong Kechil in the Upper Bukit Timah area, about 10 minutes’ walk from Beauty World MRT on the Downtown Line. It was marketed as a retirement resort, hence the shorter lease; however, a large number of young buyers snapped up units at the launch.
This 506 sq ft unit at The Hillford is on a high floor and faces the pool. The development has some commercial units on the ground floor, boosting convenience. It is located in a quiet, low-density area a stone’s throw from popular eateries on Cheong Chin Nam Road.
