Overview and Location
Ritz@Farrer is a student accommodation located in Singapore, listed on the independent global student-housing platform. The property sits within the broader Singapore rental market, which includes 129 student properties as of this data. The address is simply “Singapore”, without a more specific district, so prospective residents should verify the exact location with the operator before committing. The surrounding area connects to several major universities in the city-state: National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), Singapore Management University, and Singapore University of Technology and Design. Public transport routes and commuting times will vary depending on the campus; it is advisable to check the distance to your specific institution.
The building offers two unit types – ensuite rooms and self-contained apartments – with a minimum lease of 3 months. Monthly rent ranges from SGD 1,700 to SGD 2,300 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The property is identified with tags including “Pet-Friendly”, “Elevator”, “laundry_facility”, and “not_available”. The “not_available” tag suggests that the property may currently be fully booked or not accepting new bookings; you should confirm availability directly with the operator.
Who This Residence Suits
Ritz@Farrer is most suitable for students or young professionals who need a medium-term stay (3 months or longer) and prefer a self-contained living arrangement. The availability of both ensuite rooms and apartments means that single occupants or small groups (e.g., two friends or a couple) can find a setup that matches their privacy needs. The ensuite option provides a private bathroom within a shared flat, while the apartment unit type offers more independence with a full kitchen and living space.
Pet owners will find the pet-friendly tag appealing, as not all student accommodations allow animals. If you need to bring a cat or dog, confirm the specific pet policy and any additional fees with the operator.
Properties with an elevator are helpful if you have heavy luggage, live on a higher floor, or have mobility concerns. The laundry facility tag indicates on-site or easily accessible washing and drying machines – a useful convenience for long-term stays.
Given the month‑to‑month pricing of SGD 1,700–2,300, this residence is positioned above the city’s from‑price of SGD 207 (note: the city’s from‑price is likely quoted on a weekly basis, as monthly rates below SGD 300 are not typical in Singapore; confirm the exact duration with the operator). Therefore, Ritz@Farrer may suit students who have a moderate-to-high housing budget and value extra amenities (pet-friendliness, elevator, private bathroom) over the cheapest possible option.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
If your budget is very tight, this property may not be the best fit. The minimum monthly rent of SGD 1,700 is considerably higher than the low‑end options in the city (which start around SGD 207 per week, equating to roughly SGD 828 per month). The indicative monthly cost places Ritz@Farrer in the mid‑to‑upper range of Singapore’s student housing market.
The “not_available” tag is a strong signal that the property might currently have no vacancies. If you need move‑in within the next few weeks, this residence could be unreliable; you should first confirm with the operator whether rooms are actually open for booking.
The lease term of 3 months is a minimum. If you only need accommodation for 1–2 months (e.g., a summer internship), this property may not accommodate you unless the operator offers shorter licences upon request – but the published minimum is 3 months.
Residents who prioritise vibrant social events or communal amenities (gym, cinema room, rooftop terrace) should note that the listing tags only mention laundry facilities, an elevator, and pet permission. There is no indication of a common lounge, study room, or organised activities. If you want a lively community atmosphere, you might need to look at purpose‑built student accommodation (PBSA) with more extensive communal spaces.
The lack of detailed address makes it hard to assess proximity to supermarkets, MRT stations, or nightlife. Anyone who relies on walking distance to specific amenities should verify location details with the operator before booking.
Resident Reviews and Ratings
At the time of data collection, Ritz@Farrer had only 2 Google reviews, with an average rating of 3.5 out of 5. This rating suggests a generally acceptable experience, though the sample size is too small to draw strong conclusions. No written reviews were available in the data, so we cannot quote resident comments verbatim. The 3.5‑star average – on a 5‑point scale – implies that some guests were moderately satisfied while others may have had minor issues. If you rely heavily on peer feedback, you may want to ask the operator for recent testimonials or look for reviews on independent platforms.
Price Positioning and Room-Type Guidance
The monthly rent cited for Ritz@Farrer is SGD 1,700–2,300 (indicative — confirm with the operator). By comparison, the city’s from‑price for student housing is SGD 207 (likely a weekly rate; for a monthly equivalent, multiply by approximately 4.3 to get roughly SGD 890). Thus, Ritz@Farrer’s cheapest option is about 1.9 times that weekly‑based monthly estimate. In Singapore, a wide range exists: you can find rooms from SGD 800–1,200 per month in older HDB flats or shared houses, while modern private condominiums or PBSAs often start above SGD 1,500. Ritz@Farrer sits in the latter category.
Room-type guidance:
- Ensuite room: A private bedroom with attached bathroom, likely within a shared flat (common areas may be shared with 2–4 other residents). This is a good choice if you want privacy for bathing but don’t mind sharing a kitchen and living room. The price probably falls near the lower end of the range (SGD 1,700–2,000) because it is a single room.
- Apartment: A self-contained unit, possibly a studio or one‑bedroom, with its own kitchen and bathroom. This type is usually at the higher end of the range (SGD 2,000–2,300). It suits couples, those who cook regularly, or anyone who wants no sharing of living spaces.
Comparison with city from‑price:
The cheapest available room in Singapore (as per platform data) is SGD 207 per week, which translates to roughly SGD 828 per month (4.3 weeks). Ritz@Farrer’s minimum of SGD 1,700 is roughly double that monthly cost. That premium buys you the privacy of an ensuite or apartment, the possibility of a newer building, and specific amenities like an elevator and pet permission. If your budget is flexible, the additional cost may be worthwhile for convenience.
Booking Timing and Considerations
Because of the “not_available” tag, booking timing is uncertain. The tag may indicate that the property is currently fully occupied or temporarily off‑market. If you are planning for the 2026–2027 academic year, contact the operator early (ideally 6–12 months before your intended move‑in) to ask whether rooms will become available and when booking opens. For 2026 entry, reaching out by late 2025 or early 2026 is advisable.
The minimum lease of 3 months means you cannot book a short one‑month stay under standard terms. If your semester is 4–6 months, the minimum will be fine; if your course runs for a full year, you can extend or renew as per the operator’s policy.
The deposit amount is not listed in the data, so you must ask the operator directly how many months’ rent are required upfront. Standard practice in Singapore is one month’s rent as deposit, but always confirm.
Booking timing summary:
- Check availability now (if the property is labelled “not_available”, it may not accept new bookings until a later date).
- Plan to secure a room 3–6 months before arrival if availability returns.
- Have a backup option among the other 129 properties in Singapore.
Frequently Asked Questions
H3: Is Ritz@Farrer currently available for booking?
The listing includes a tag “not_available”, which suggests that the property does not accept new bookings at this moment. However, tags on platforms can become outdated. You should contact the operator using the on‑site assistant or provided contact details to confirm the current availability status.

The data set does not specify whether utilities (electricity, water, gas) and internet are included. The price range of SGD 1,700–2,300 per month may or may not cover these costs.

H3: Can I keep a pet at Ritz@Farrer?
Yes, the listing is tagged as “Pet-Friendly”. This indicates that the operator allows pets (typically cats or dogs) on the premises, likely with a pet deposit or additional monthly fee. However, you should verify the exact policy, any size or breed restrictions, and whether you need to pay extra. Always get written confirmation to avoid misunderstandings.
