**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)?
