Who This Residence Suits
Students or professionals who prefer private apartment units
The residence offers fully self‑contained one‑bedroom and two‑bedroom apartments. This suits those who want a private kitchen, bathroom, and living space rather than shared hostel or dormitory accommodation. The weekly rent for a one‑bedroom unit (assuming the lower end of the range) is roughly SGD 358–500, which is typical for a central private apartment in Singapore.
Those who value on‑site amenities
The property has a swimming pool, which is a notable feature for Singapore’s tropical climate. In‑unit laundry facilities and included Wi‑Fi also reduce additional bills. These amenities appeal to tenants who want convenience without sourcing separate service providers.
Short‑to‑medium stays with a minimum commitment
The minimum lease is 26 weeks (about 6 months). This is suitable for one‑semester exchange programmes or short‑term work attachments. It is longer than a typical monthly booking but shorter than a full one‑year lease, offering flexibility.
Independent living without landlord interference
As an apartment building, residents manage their own space. There is no on‑site warden or communal dining. This suits those who have lived away from home before and are comfortable with self‑organisation.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Budget‑conscious students
The city’s lowest weekly rent starts at SGD 207. Even the cheapest unit at 48 Wilkie Apartment (SGD 358/week) is 73% higher than that entry‑level price. Residents on a tight budget would find more affordable options in shared flats or purpose‑built student residences further from the city centre.
Those needing a short‑term booking (under 6 weeks)
The minimum lease of 26 weeks rules out summer stays or short internships. If you only need accommodation for 4–8 weeks, this property is not suitable. Look for hostels or short‑stay apartments with flexible month‑to‑month terms.
Residents who rely on published reviews for decision‑making
At the time of writing, the property has only 2 reviews on its global rating platform, with an average of 4 stars. That is a very small sample. While the rating is positive, there is insufficient feedback to assess common issues (noise, maintenance, management responsiveness). Renters who prefer to see dozens of verified accounts may want to choose a property with a more established review history.
Those who require immediate move‑in
The property is marked as “not_available” in the listing tags. This could indicate that all units are currently occupied or that the building is undergoing refurbishment. Anyone looking to move in within the next few weeks should check directly with the operator.
Price Positioning & Room Types
All prices are quoted in Singapore dollars (SGD) and are weekly. These are indicative — confirm with the operator.
- City starting price: SGD 207/week (for the cheapest room type across all 129 properties)
- 48 Wilkie Apartment price range: SGD 358/week – SGD 716/week
The lower end of the range (SGD 358) likely corresponds to a one‑bedroom unit, possibly at a lower floor or without city view. The upper end (SGD 716) likely covers a two‑bedroom apartment. Given the city average for private studio apartments in central Singapore hovers around SGD 400–550/week, 48 Wilkie Apartment is priced competitively for its location and amenities.
Room types available
- One‑bedroom apartment
- Two‑bedroom apartment
Each unit is a full apartment, meaning you get a private bedroom (or two bedrooms in the larger option), a private bathroom, a kitchen or kitchenette, and a living area. This contrasts with many student accommodations that offer shared common rooms.
Deposit
No deposit amount is listed in the data. Expect a standard security deposit of 1–2 months’ rent, but confirm with the operator.
Utilities
Wi‑Fi is included. Laundry facilities are available on site (no mention of whether in‑unit or shared). Check the operator for any additional charges for electricity, water, or air‑conditioning (common in Singapore).
Booking Timing & Availability
Because the property is listed as “not_available” in the current data, there is no available‑from date shown. This likely means that as of the data snapshot (July 2026), no units are open for immediate booking.
What this means for 2026/2027 planning
- If you are looking for accommodation starting in the second half of 2026, contact the operator to learn if new inventory will be released.
- For the January 2027 intake (common for academic semesters), properties in Singapore often open bookings 3–6 months in advance. Checking around August–October 2026 may give you a better picture.
- The minimum lease of 26 weeks means that even if you take a lease starting in November 2026, it will run into May 2027, covering two academic terms.
Advice
- Since the property has a low count of online reviews (2), consider visiting in person or requesting a virtual tour before committing.
- Use the operator’s live availability tool (see the last line of this article) to get real‑time updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cancellation or early termination policy?
The data does not specify cancellation terms. Most private apartment leases in Singapore require notice of one to two months and a penalty equivalent to one month’s rent. For 48 Wilkie Apartment, you should ask the operator directly about the policy for mid‑lease termination, especially if your study plans might change.
Can I share a two‑bedroom apartment with a friend?
Yes, the two‑bedroom apartment is designed for two people. The weekly rent of up to SGD 716 covers the entire apartment. Splitting that with a flatmate brings each person’s share to around SGD 358/week, which is the same as the cheapest one‑bedroom. However, be aware that the lease may be in the name of one tenant only (depending on the operator’s rules), so the flatmate should be formally added to avoid issues.
Are the utilities (electricity, water, air‑conditioning) included in the weekly rent?
Wi‑Fi is listed as included, and laundry facilities are available. There is no mention of electricity, water, or air‑conditioning. In Singapore, many apartments charge utilities separately based on usage. You should confirm with the operator whether the weekly rent covers all utilities or if there is an additional monthly bill.
