Who is this apartment suitable for?
This room in a four‑bedroom apartment at 23A Lor 13 Geylang is a shared living arrangement that works best for students or young professionals who are comfortable with flatmates and do not need a private bathroom. The property is a non‑ensuite room within an independent house, meaning you share the bathroom with other tenants. If you value social interaction and don’t mind communal spaces, this could be a practical base for your stay in Singapore.
The location in Geylang places you close to the city centre, with good transport links to many parts of Singapore. It is particularly convenient if you are studying or working in the central or eastern areas. The apartment comes with air‑conditioning, laundry facilities, and WiFi – three essentials for daily life in Singapore’s tropical climate.
Who this residence suits:
- Budget‑conscious individuals who want a lower‑cost option than a studio or one‑bedroom apartment.
- People who prefer a ready‑made social environment with three other flatmates.
- Those who can manage shared facilities and a common schedule for bathroom use.
- Short‑term renters: the minimum lease is three months, which is shorter than many standard contracts (often six or twelve months).
- Students or interns arriving around the second half of 2026 (available from 13 July 2026).
Who may not find it ideal:
- Anyone who requires a private bathroom or ensuite. The room is non‑ensuite, and there is no indication of how many bathrooms serve the four bedrooms (typical HDB or terrace houses may have one or two bathrooms). If privacy in the bathroom is a priority, look for an ensuite or studio unit.
- People who need a very quiet study environment. Shared living inevitably means noise from flatmates. Although the property has air‑conditioning, soundproofing in older terrace houses can be limited.
- Travellers or short‑term visitors who only need a few weeks. The minimum lease is three months, so a one‑month stay is not possible.
- Those who rely on a high number of nearby amenities. Geylang is known for its food and transport, but some students may prefer a more campus‑centric location. The apartment is not directly beside any university campus.
What do residents say about this property?
At the time of writing, there are no publicly recorded reviews for this specific listing. The data set contains an empty reviews array. For an independent assessment of the property, prospective tenants are encouraged to:
- Request a virtual or in‑person viewing from the operator.
- Ask the operator for contact with current or past residents (if available).
- Search for general feedback about the 23A Lor 13 Geylang building or similar units in the same complex via social media or student forums.
Because no reviews are available, it is especially important to verify the condition of the room, the number of flatmates, and the shared bathroom arrangement before committing.
How does the price compare to the city average?
The room is listed at SGD 1,250–1,350 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). By comparison, the lowest listed price across all 129 properties in Singapore on the platform is SGD 207 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). That SGD 207 price likely represents a bed in a shared dormitory or a very basic room far from the city centre.
At SGD 1,250–1,350, this room sits in the mid‑range for a non‑ensuite room in a shared house in Singapore. In 2026, typical rental prices for a non‑ensuite room in a shared HDB flat or terrace house in central/eastern Singapore range from SGD 900 to SGD 1,800 per month, depending on size, furnishings, and location. This property’s price is not unusually cheap nor expensive – it falls within the expected bracket.
The significant gap between the city’s from‑price (SGD 207) and this room’s price reflects the difference between a dormitory‑style bed and a private room. If your budget is very tight, you may need to look at hostel‑style accommodations. For a private room in a shared apartment, SGD 1,250–1,350 is a realistic budget.

- Available from: 13 July 2026.

Note that “independent_house” means this is likely a detached or semi‑detached house, not a high‑rise apartment building. In Geylang, many such houses are two‑storey terrace houses. Four bedrooms in such a house may be spread over two floors. The shared bathroom situation – how many bathrooms and for how many people – should be clarified with the operator.
The room is unfurnished or furnished? The data does not specify. Ask the operator about the furnishings.
When should you book?
The room becomes available on 13 July 2026. If you are an incoming international student or worker, bear in mind that July is a peak intake period in Singapore. Many students arrive in July–August for the new academic year, so desirable rooms in this price range tend to get booked early.
Recommended booking timeline:
- March–April 2026: Start shortlisting properties and requesting viewings. For a July move‑in, booking around two to four months in advance is common.
- May–June 2026: Finalise the lease and pay the deposit. By June, many July units may already be reserved.
- After July 2026: If you are flexible, you may find last‑minute availability, but choice will be narrower.
Because the minimum lease is only three months, this room also suits students on a one‑semester exchange or a short internship starting in July. If you only need a room from July to October, the three‑month minimum works perfectly.
