The following sections break down whether this residence suits different types of students, what past residents have actually written, how its price likely sits relative to the city average, and when to start looking for 2026 or 2027 stays.
Who This Residence Suits
The Bedok neighbourhood is a mature residential area in eastern Singapore. It is well connected by the East-West MRT line (Bedok station) and a large bus interchange. The property seems to work best for students who prioritise a quiet, community-oriented living environment and are comfortable with the responsibilities of shared accommodation.
Suitable for:
- Students studying at the National University of Singapore (NUS) – the Kent Ridge campus is about a 30–40 minute public transport ride. The university’s proximity is mentioned positively in at least one review.
- Students who prefer a calm, less touristy area away from the bustling city centre. Reviews use words like “cozy,” “quiet,” and “convenient.”
- International students who want to experience local neighbourhood life and meet people from different cultures. One resident mentions making friends and enjoying holiday celebrations such as Chinese New Year and Christmas within the accommodation.
- Students who are comfortable cleaning their own bedding and paying separately for laundry machine/dryer usage, as noted in the feedback.
Not suitable for:
- Students who need an ensuite bathroom (private bathroom). This is a non-ensuite room, so the bathroom is shared with the other two housemates.
- Students who prefer all-inclusive utilities with no extra charges. The review mentions a separate cost for laundry (washing machine and dryer) and that basic bedding (blanket) must be prepared by the tenant.
- Students who require on-site gym facilities that work reliably. One reviewer reports the outdoor gym’s fan was broken and the space was too hot.
- Students on a very tight budget: the rent is described by one reviewer as “not cheap.” The exact price is not listed in the data.
What Residents Actually Say (Verbatim Quotes)
Three Google reviews are available. Below they are reproduced exactly, with no changes.
Ian Chan (Rating: 3 out of 5 – half-year stay)

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 (Rating: 5 out of 5 – parent perspective)
“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.”
Note: The phrase “campus by the assembly place” in the second review likely refers to a student accommodation brand that operates this building; however, no brand name is confirmed in the data. The review text is presented as is.
Key Takeaways from Reviews
- Atmosphere: Described as “cozy,” “calm and quiet,” and a place where students can “enjoy and study.”
- Social & Cultural: The residence organised Chinese New Year and Christmas celebrations. Residents met friends from different cultures.
- Cost & Extras: Rent is considered high by one resident. Tenants pay extra for laundry machine/dryer use. Blankets and other bedding are not provided.
- Facility Issues: The outdoor gym is hot and its fan was broken during at least one resident’s stay.
- Proximity to University: The parent review states it is “close to her University” (likely NUS, based on the report context). The exact campus is not specified.
Price Positioning vs. City Starting Price
The city-wide “from price” for student accommodations in Singapore is SGD 207 per month (indicative – confirm with the operator). This figure is likely for a basic room in a shared flat or dormitory in a less central area.
The Bedok apartment’s exact monthly rent is not provided in the data set. However, based on the review stating “the rent is not cheap,” it is reasonable to assume the rent is above the SGD 207 city floor. Bedok is a well-connected suburban area, and a room in a private three-bedroom apartment there typically commands a higher rate than a space in a purpose-built student hostel.
- Indicative comparison: If the city’s lowest option is SGD 207, this room probably falls in the SGD 600–1,000+ range (common for private apartment rooms in Bedok). Always verify the actual monthly cost directly with the operator.
- Deposit: Not listed in the data. Ask the operator about deposit requirements (usually 1 month’s rent for private rooms in Singapore).
All prices are indicative – confirm with the operator before committing.
Booking Timing for 2026 or 2027 Starts
The property is currently marked as “not available” in the listing system. This status can change at any time as rooms become free (e.g., when current tenants move out). For stays beginning in 2026 or 2027:
- 2026 intake (e.g., August 2026 semester): Start inquiring around early 2026 (January–March). Private apartments in Bedok tend to get booked a few months in advance, especially for the August intake.
- 2027 intake: Be aware that availability and exact room configurations may change by then. The property may or may not be on the same platform by that time.
- General advice: Because this is a single room in a small three-bedroom apartment (not a large dormitory building), turnover is low. Contact the operator as soon as you have confirmed your university offer. If the room is full, ask about other rooms in the same building or nearby.
Room and Lease Guidance
- Room type: Non-ensuite. You share the bathroom with the other two housemates. The apartment itself is a “3 Bedroom Apartment,” so there will likely be three individual tenants per unit.
- Minimum lease: Not provided in the data. In Singapore private apartments, typical minimum leases are 6 or 12 months for rooms. Ask the operator.
- What you bring: As the reviews indicate, you will need to bring or buy your own blanket and bedding. Laundry costs are separate (coins or prepaid card for the washing machine/dryer).
- Cleaning: You are responsible for cleaning your own bedsheets. Common areas (kitchen, living room) are likely shared tidying duties among housemates.

H3: What are the hidden costs I should expect?
Based on the review by Ian Chan:
- Laundry: You pay separately for the washing machine and dryer usage.

H3: The listing says “not available” – can I still inquire?
Yes. “Not available” often means the specific room shown is occupied at the time of data extraction. Rooms can become free after tenants move out. Contact the operator using the platform’s inquiry form or chat assistant. Ask:
- Whether any rooms in this apartment or a similar unit will be available for your target month (e.g., August 2026).
- If not, whether they have other properties in Bedok or nearby.
