Overview
This property is a single room within a five‑bedroom apartment located at 12 Eng Hoon Street, Singapore 169762. The unit type is classified as a non‑ensuite room in an independent house. Shared facilities include laundry equipment, a terrace, and WiFi. As of 2026, the property carries a Google rating of 4.5 from 52 reviews. No current minimum or maximum monthly price has been published for this specific room, so all figures below are indicative — confirm with the operator.

Who This Residence Suits
This apartment works well for students who prefer a communal living setup with multiple flatmates. The five‑bedroom configuration means you will share common areas such as kitchen, living room, and bathroom facilities. If you are comfortable in a social environment and want to split household chores, this arrangement can help reduce individual costs and provide a built‑in peer network.
Residents who enjoy quiet, calm surroundings will appreciate the neighbourhood. One parent review notes the area is “very calm and quiet with all the facilities.” For students who need a peaceful study environment after classes, Eng Hoon Street offers a residential atmosphere while remaining within reach of several universities.
The terrace is a notable feature. If you like having outdoor space for relaxation or study breaks, this apartment provides that option – something many purpose‑built student residences lack in Singapore’s dense urban landscape.
Students who do not mind managing their own laundry – including paying for machine and dryer use, and cleaning bed sheets personally – will find this place functional. The property supplies laundry facilities, but usage costs are separate and you need to handle the linens yourself.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
This residence may not suit students who expect a fully serviced, all‑inclusive room. One reviewer, Ian Chan, states: “Everything need to prepared by yourself including the blanket. Also need to pay for the washing machine and dryer and clean the bed sheet yourself.” If you prefer a package where bedding, utilities, and cleaning are covered, a purpose‑built student hall or a serviced apartment would be a better fit.
The apartment is a non‑ensuite room, meaning you share a bathroom with other flatmates. If private bathroom access is a priority, look for ensuite or studio options.
Given that the listing is currently tagged “not_available” on the platform, availability may be highly limited or subject to seasonal booking cycles. Students who need guaranteed accommodation in a specific semester should confirm the status well in advance and have backup options.
The outdoor gym mentioned by a reviewer has a broken fan and is reportedly hot. If using on‑site fitness amenities matters to you, ensure you check the current condition before committing.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews are available for this property. Two give a 5‑star rating, and one gives 3 stars. Here is what they wrote:
Ian Chan (3 stars):
“Have a really cozy environment nearby. The rent is not cheap, but everything need to prepared by yourself including the blanket. Also need to pay for the washing machine and dryer and clean the bed sheet yourself. Outdoor gym is so hot and the fan were broken. (Half year staying experience.)”
Rutuja Prabhune (5 stars):
“I came at campus by the assembly place in May 2025. And it was great living here. Nice place to live, enjoy and study. Making New Friends from different cultures. Also Accomodations has celebration such as Chinese New Year, Christmas celebrations etc. Campus by the assembly place feels like home far away from your home”
S S Family First (5 stars):
“Nice place for students, very calm and quiet with all the facilities. Our daughter is staying here and finds it very convenient. It is close to her University.”
Common themes across the feedback: the environment is pleasant and quiet; the location is convenient for university; cultural events are organised; but self‑sufficiency is required for bedding and laundry, and some facilities (outdoor gym fan) may be in disrepair.
Price Positioning and Value
No precise rent for this room is listed on the source data. The city‑wide starting price for student accommodation in Singapore is SGD 207 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). However, this is a bare minimum figure, often for a room in a shared flat or a basic hostel‑style bed. A five‑bedroom apartment with a terrace and laundry facilities in a residential district like Eng Hoon Street will typically command a higher rate.
Based on comparable properties in Singapore, a room in a shared non‑ensuite apartment of this standard might range between SGD 600 and SGD 1,200 per month. The exact price depends on whether utilities, WiFi, and common‑area cleaning are included. Since the operator has not published a price, you must contact them directly for a quotation. Do not assume the city starting price applies to this unit.
Reviewer Ian Chan notes “the rent is not cheap” – this suggests the property is priced above the absolute entry level, but it may still be competitive for the area and the terrace feature.
Room Type and Guidance
The room is part of a 5‑bedroom apartment under the independent house category. It is classified as non‑ensuite, meaning you share bathroom facilities with your flatmates. The specific room is likely a standard bedroom with no private wet area.
Key points to clarify with the operator before booking:
- Which floor is the room on (the building may be a walk‑up)?
- Is the room available for the full academic year or on a per‑semester basis?
- Are utilities (water, electricity, WiFi) included in the rent, or billed separately?
- What is the deposit amount? (No deposit figures are provided in the source data.)
The terrace is a shared outdoor space. Confirm access rules and whether it is exclusive to this apartment or shared with other tenants.
Because the listing is currently marked “not_available,” the room may be fully booked for the coming intake. If you see it as available in future, treat it as a standard room‑share option that demands more personal responsibility than a managed student hall.
Booking Timing
Given the property’s “not_available” status at the time of writing (2026), you should not rely on this as a primary option without checking directly. If it becomes available for 2027, aim to secure a room at least three to four months before your intended move‑in date. In Singapore’s competitive student market, popular shared apartments near universities can fill up quickly.
Many students start searching from March for an August intake, or from October for a January intake. Because this listing is an individual room in a private apartment (not a large student residence), the booking window may be narrower and less predictable. Contact the operator as early as possible and ask for a definite availability timeline.
FAQ
Is this accommodation close to universities?
The property is located at 12 Eng Hoon Street, Singapore 169762. The area is known for its proximity to educational institutions. A parent review states it is “close to her University.” Singapore’s major universities – National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore Management University, and Singapore University of Technology and Design – all have campuses reachable by public transport. Exact travel time depends on which campus you attend. Check the distance with a map service and factor in bus or MRT connections.
What facilities are included?
The listing includes laundry facility, terrace, and WiFi. These are shared among the five flatmates. There is no mention of furnished rooms, air‑conditioning, or cleaning services. Based on reviews, you need to bring your own bedding (blanket, sheets) and pay separately for washing machine and dryer use. The outdoor gym exists but may have maintenance issues (broken fan). Always confirm the current condition of facilities directly with the operator.
Is the room fully furnished?
The source data does not specify furniture. From the reviews, it appears the room may come with basic furniture (bed, desk) but does not include bedding. You should ask the operator exactly what is provided: bed frame, mattress, desk, chair, wardrobe, and whether curtains or lighting are supplied. If the room is unfurnished, you will need to budget for purchasing essential items.
