Who should choose 11 Mattar – and who should look elsewhere
11 Mattar is a purpose-built student housing property located in the Singapore 387720 area. It offers ensuite and apartment-style units with inclusive bills and on-site laundry facilities. The minimum lease period is three months, making it a short-to-medium term option. The monthly rent ranges from SGD 1,700 to SGD 1,900 (indicative — confirm with the operator). By comparison, the city’s from-price across all student properties on this platform is SGD 207 (indicative — confirm with the operator for duration and unit type). That means 11 Mattar sits at the upper end of the market in terms of price. It is best suited for students who prioritise privacy, convenience, and an all-inclusive package over the lowest possible cost.
Who this residence suits
Students who value full privacy and own facilities
The property offers two unit types: ensuite and apartment. Ensuite units give you a private bedroom and bathroom while sharing a kitchen and living space. Apartments are fully self-contained. Either way, you are not sharing a bedroom or bathroom with a stranger, which is a significant advantage over many shared dormitories in Singapore. For postgraduates, final-year undergraduates, or students who need quiet study time, this layout works well.
Students on a short lease (3 months)
The minimum lease is three months, which is shorter than many student contracts that require six months or a full academic year. If you arrive for a summer term, an internship, or a study-abroad semester, 11 Mattar gives you flexibility without locking you into a long commitment.
Students who want bills included
The property includes bills in the rent. You do not have to set up electricity, water, or internet accounts, and you will not face unexpected surcharges. This is especially helpful for international students who are unfamiliar with local utility companies.
Students enrolled at nearby universities
While the exact distance to each campus is not provided in the data, 11 Mattar is located in Singapore, close to public transport. The city’s major universities are National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), Singapore Management University, and Singapore University of Technology and Design. If you are studying at SMU or any city-fringe campus, the location should be convenient. Always check the travel time using a map app before booking.
Who should consider other options
Budget-conscious students
The monthly rent starts at SGD 1,700, which is significantly above the city’s from-price of SGD 207. That from-price likely represents a shared room or a more basic property. If your accommodation budget is tight, there are 128 other properties listed on this platform in Singapore, many with lower entry prices. 11 Mattar is positioned for those willing to pay a premium for space and independence.
Students who want social communal living
The property tags do not mention common social areas, events, or a community programme. The only facilities listed are laundry and bills included. If you are looking for a vibrant dorm with common rooms, game zones, or organised activities, you may find 11 Mattar too quiet.
Students who need a very long lease
While the three-month minimum is flexible, the property may not offer discounts for 12-month stays. If you plan to be in Singapore for a full academic year, compare the monthly rate with other properties that have lower per-month prices for longer commitments.
Price positioning and value
At SGD 1,700 to SGD 1,900 per month, 11 Mattar is one of the more expensive student housing options in Singapore. The city’s from-price of SGD 207 (indicative — confirm with the operator) likely refers to a weekly rate for a shared room in a budget property. Even if you convert that to a monthly estimate (about SGD 900 per month), the price difference is roughly double. What you get for that premium are:
- A private unit (ensuite or apartment)
- All utility bills included
- Laundry facility on-site
- A minimum lease of only 3 months
For comparison, a shared HDB room in Singapore can cost between SGD 600 and SGD 1,200 per month, but those usually do not include utilities and often require a 6-month minimum. 11 Mattar’s price is comparable to a studio apartment in a private condominium, but with the convenience of student-oriented management and transparent billing.

Room-type guidance: Ensuite vs Apartment
Ensuite – You get a private bedroom and bathroom, and you share the kitchen, living, and dining areas with other tenants in the same flat. This is suitable if you want your own personal space but are comfortable with communal cooking and lounging. The number of flatmates is not specified in the data; ask the operator for details.
Apartment – This is a fully self-contained unit. You do not share any space with anyone outside your own group. It is ideal for couples, close friends who want to room together, or students who prefer absolute privacy. The rent for an apartment will likely be at the higher end of the SGD 1,700–1,900 range.
Which one to choose?
If you are a solo traveller and do not mind sharing a kitchen with a few others, the ensuite gives you a good balance of privacy and cost. If you need complete control over your environment (e.g., you cook special meals or work odd hours), go for the apartment.
Booking timing and availability
The data does not include a specific available-from date. Since the minimum lease is three months, you can potentially book at any time of the year. However, peak intakes in Singapore are in August (fall semester) and January (spring semester). If you plan to arrive during these windows, start your search at least 2–3 months in advance. The property has only two reviews on this platform (both awarding 5 stars), indicating it may be a smaller or newer listing. This could mean limited units, so early booking is advised.
Because of the short minimum lease, 11 Mattar is also popular for mid-year intakes and internship seasons. If you need accommodation from May to July or September to November, you may find availability when longer-lease properties are not accepting short-term tenants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are utilities really included in the rent?
Yes, the property is tagged with “bills included,” which typically covers electricity, water, and internet. However, you should confirm the exact scope and any caps (e.g., monthly internet speed or electricity usage limits) with the operator. The indicative price of SGD 1,700–1,900 already includes these costs — there should be no additional utility charges.
What is the deposit amount?
The data shows “deposit: null,” meaning no specific deposit information was provided. Most student housing in Singapore requires a security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent. You must confirm this directly with the operator before booking.
How far is 11 Mattar from NUS or NTU?
The exact address is Singapore 387720, and the coordinates are latitude 1.3255, longitude 103.882. This places the property in the Mattar Road area, which is in the eastern part of Singapore. NUS is in the west, and NTU is far west. Travel time by public transport to NUS is typically 40–50 minutes, and to NTU about 60–70 minutes. SMU and Singapore University of Technology and Design are closer. Always use a transport app to verify journey times based on your class schedule.
