29A Opal Crescent: A Quiet Independent House in Singapore
29A Operal Crescent is a small residential property located in Singapore, offering ensuite rooms within a branded independent house. The property is pet-friendly and includes bills, laundry facilities in the price. It is available from 13 July 2026 with a minimum lease of three months.
Who this residence suits
This property works well for someone who wants a self-contained living space in a house setting rather than a large apartment building. The ensuite units give you a private bathroom, so you are not sharing facilities with others. Because it is a branded independent house, the overall number of residents is likely small, which can mean quieter communal areas and less competition for kitchen or laundry time.
The pet-friendly tag is a key feature. If you plan to bring a cat or dog to Singapore, many student accommodations do not allow pets, so this property directly solves that problem. The bills-included arrangement also makes budgeting simpler — water, electricity, and internet are covered by the monthly rent, so you avoid separate utility accounts.
The minimum lease of three months suits someone on a short-term exchange or summer internship. Longer stays are presumably possible, but you are not locked into a full year if your plans are uncertain.
Who this residence does not suit
The property is not ideal if you need a low monthly rent. The city’s indicative from-price for student housing is SGD 207 per month, but that figure typically refers to shared rooms or basic hostels. Independent houses with ensuite rooms in Singapore generally cost significantly more. Since no price is listed for 29A Opal Crescent, you should expect it to be above the city floor — possibly SGD 1,200–2,000/month depending on location and size. If your budget is tight, look at the city’s shared-room options.
If you prefer a large social atmosphere with common events, gyms, or study lounges, this house may feel too quiet. It is not a purpose-built student accommodation block; it is a house converted into rooms. There is no mention of a communal lounge or study area beyond basic laundry.
The property has only 4 Google reviews (all 5-star), so the sample is very small. That makes it harder to judge ongoing management quality or issues like noise, maintenance response, or cleaning standards.
What residents actually say
Johnny Tang, a verified Google reviewer, gave 5 stars and wrote:
“Good host and highly recommend for your stay in Singapore”
This is the only review provided. It mentions a “good host” — which suggests the landlord or manager is responsive and helpful. The word “recommend” implies the overall experience met expectations. However, one review does not tell you about long-term comfort, internet reliability, or how disputes are handled. You should ask the host directly about these points before committing.
Price positioning versus the city from-price
The city’s from-price for student housing is SGD 207 per month. That is the lowest advertised rate among 129 properties in Singapore, likely for a shared room in a hostel or a far-out location. 29A Opal Crescent does not publish a minimum or maximum price, so you cannot compare it directly.
Given that it is an independent house with ensuite rooms, you should anticipate a price well above SGD 207. In Singapore, a private ensuite in a house or apartment typically ranges from SGD 1,000 to SGD 2,500 per month, depending on the neighbourhood, room size, and included services. Bills included may add SGD 150–300 of value compared to a room where you pay utilities separately.
To get the actual price, you must contact the operator. All figures mentioned here are indicative — confirm with the operator before making any financial decision.
Room-type guidance
The property offers two unit types: ensuite and “branded independent house”. In practice, that means you rent a private room with a private bathroom. There is no shared flatmate arrangement for the bathroom.
Because it is a branded independent house, the property is likely managed by a company that owns or leases the house and sublets individual rooms. This can be more professional than a private landlord, but still less structured than a student hall.
If you want a shared room or a studio, this property does not offer those. Your only option here is an ensuite room.
Booking timing
The earliest move-in date is 13 July 2026. For a July start, you should start contacting the operator around March–May 2026 to secure a room, especially if you want a specific floor or quiet location. Because the property has only a handful of rooms (likely 4–6 units based on typical house conversions), availability can go quickly.
If you need to arrive earlier (e.g., June), this property will not be ready. Alternatively, if you can wait until August, you might get a better deal by booking in June or July when some tenants leave.
Plan to confirm the price, deposit, and house rules at least two months before your intended move-in. The minimum lease is three months, so if you only need two months, this property does not suit you.
Frequently asked questions
