**Yes, there are units near MRT stations available around the S$2,500/month mark**, but your options depend on whether you need a **whole unit** or a **room rental**:

---

### 1. Whole Unit Rental (S$2,200 – S$2,500/month)

At this budget, 3-room and 4-room flats close to central MRTs are generally out of reach (averaging S$3,000–S$3,800+), but you can secure:

* **HDB 2-Room (1-Bedroom + Living Room) Flats:**
* Typical size: 400 – 500 sqft.
* Very viable within 5–10 minutes' walk of MRT stations in non-mature or suburban estates such as **Canberra / Yishun (NS Line)**, **Yew Tee / Choa Chu Kang (NS Line)**, **Woodlands / Marsiling**, and **Punggol / Sengkang**.
* *Current typical rents:* **S$2,200 – S$2,500/month**.

* **Older Resale 3-Room HDBs (Suburban Edge):**
* Certain 2-bedroom HDB flats in outer suburban clusters (e.g., Yishun Ring Rd, Jurong West, or Marsiling) transact around **S$2,400 – S$2,500/month** if you look roughly 8–12 minutes from the station.

* **Private Condo Studio / Dual-Key Studio:**
* Rare near prime MRTs at S$2,500, but occasionally available in boutique/suburban developments (e.g., Telok Kurau/Geylang/Balestier walk-ups, or OCR fringe dual-key studio units).

---

### 2. Room Rental (Master Bedroom with Ensuite)

If you do not strictly require an entire flat:

* **Condo Master Bedroom:** **S$1,600 – S$2,200/month** directly beside MRT stations with full pool/gym access.
* **HDB Master Bedroom:** **S$1,200 – S$1,600/month** right next to major transport hubs (e.g., Jurong East, Bishan, Serangoon, Khatib).
* Leaves you with **S$500 – S$1,000/month in leftover cash savings**.

### What to Narrow Down

To pinpoint live listings or schedule viewings:

1. **Target MRT line/area:** (e.g., North-South Red Line, Downtown Blue Line, East-West Green Line)?
2. **Configuration:** Whole 2-room flat (full privacy for a couple) or a Condo Master Bedroom?
3. **Move-in date & lease length:** (e.g., immediate / 1-month notice; 1-year or 2-year lease)?

It will likely be a room rental or studio unit (likely dual key). Quite minimum choices I'd think.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 15 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market. Check out the EdgeProp featured article on myself recently at https://www.edgeprop.sg/property-news/geryl-lim-leading-landed-real-estate-heart-hustle-and-harmony

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 15,900 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.
