Overview & Location
Located at 2 Pandan Valley, Singapore, this property is a 5‑bedroom apartment offering private room rentals (ensuite or within the shared house). The address places it in a residential area with greenery, close to amenities. Based on the aggregated city data, the property is part of the same student‑housing platform that lists 129 units in Singapore, with rental options starting from SGD 207 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). The building features a gym, laundry facilities, and a swimming pool.
The exact tenure match to nearby universities is not stated, but the city is home to major institutions such as the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore Management University, and Singapore University of Technology and Design. Given the Pandan Valley area, commutes to NUS and NTU are plausible. The residence has a Google rating of 4.5 stars from 52 reviews, suggesting generally positive experiences among past tenants.
Who Is This Residence For?
Students who value a quiet, calm environment. Reviewers consistently mention the peaceful atmosphere. One parent review notes, “Nice place for students, very calm and quiet with all the facilities,” indicating that the surroundings suit focused study and rest.
Those looking for cultural exchange and community events. The property organises celebrations such as Chinese New Year and Christmas, as reported by a resident. This appeals to students who want to socialise and feel at home while living abroad—especially international students from diverse backgrounds.
Independent tenants comfortable with self‑preparation. The apartment requires you to bring your own blanket, pay for washing machine and dryer usage, and clean your own bedsheets. This is typical for many shared apartments in Singapore, and if you prefer total control over your linens and laundry, it may be a good fit.
Short‑lease flexibility. The minimum lease is 3 months, which suits exchange students or those on semester programmes who do not want a full‑year commitment.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere?
Budget‑conscious students expecting all‑inclusive pricing. One three‑star review explicitly states, “The rent is not cheap, and everything need to prepared by yourself including the blanket. Also need to pay for the washing machine and dryer.” If you want a fully furnished, all‑bills‑covered setup (including laundry costs), this property may not meet that expectation.
Tenants who need reliable on‑site equipment. The same reviewer mentions an outdoor gym with a broken fan, making it uncomfortably hot during use. While the property has a gym and pool, the condition of the equipment is not guaranteed to be perfect at all times.
Those seeking a central downtown location. Pandan Valley is a neighbourhood slightly west of the city centre. If your university or social life is concentrated in the central business district or east coast, commuting times might be longer.
Students with very small budgets. Although the city‑wide from‑price is SGD 207 (indicative), this particular unit’s price is not listed, but the review indicates it is “not cheap.” You should compare actual quotes from the operator against your budget.
What Residents Actually Say
The property has three Google reviews (total 52 across the platform, rating 4.5). Here they are verbatim:
Ian Chan (3 stars): “Have a really cozy environment nearby. The rent is not cheap, but everything need to prepared by yourself including the blanket. Also need to pay for the washing machine and dryer and clean the bed sheet yourself. Outdoor gym is so hot and the fan were broken. (Half year staying experience.)”
Rutuja Prabhune (5 stars): “I came at campus by the assembly place in May 2025. And it was great living here. Nice place to live, enjoy and study. Making New Friends from different cultures. 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 (5 stars): “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.”
The reviews split into two camps: the low‑score review focuses on hidden costs and maintenance issues, while the high‑score reviews praise the atmosphere, community events, and convenience. Overall, the majority of platform reviews are positive (4.5 stars), so the negative points may be isolated or manageable if you anticipate them.
Price Positioning & Room Types
- City from‑price (all properties on the platform): SGD 207 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator).
- This specific unit: No price is displayed in the listing. The review says “the rent is not cheap,” which, in Singapore’s private rental market, could mean above SGD 800–1,200 per month for a room in a condominium like Pandan Valley. You must request a quote.
- Price duration: Monthly.
- Deposit: Not listed (ask the operator).
- Room types listed: Ensuite and Independent house (the unit itself is a room in a 5‑bedroom apartment, so you will be sharing common areas with up to four other tenants).
Advice: When comparing, note that the city from‑price of SGD 207 likely refers to a very basic shared room or dormitory‑style bed. This property is a private room in a condo with pool, gym, and laundry – expect a significantly higher monthly rent. Always ask what utilities (water, electricity, internet) are included, as the review suggests washer/dryer use is extra.
Booking Timing & Availability
- Available from: 03 July 2026.
- Minimum lease: 3 months.
If you plan to start in August 2026 (typical academic semester), this July date is slightly early – you could move in a few weeks before classes. For a January 2027 start, this unit will likely be let out earlier; book as soon as the operator offers it.
Because the property is listed on an independent platform with 129 total options in Singapore, competition for units with good reviews and amenities like a pool can be high. Start inquiring at least 2–3 months before your intended move‑in date. Confirm availability directly with the operator, as the platform does not guarantee live stock.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum lease period and can I stay for less than 3 months?
The minimum lease is 3 months, as stated in the listing. Shorter stays are not offered based on the current data. If you need a shorter term, you may have to look at other properties in the city.
Are utilities, internet, and laundry fees included in the rent?
The listing does not specify. However, the review by Ian Chan states that residents pay for the washing machine and dryer separately, and they must clean their own bedsheets. We recommend you explicitly ask the operator whether water, electricity, gas, and internet are included, and what the laundry fee structure is.
How far is this residence from universities like NUS or NTU?
The exact distance is not provided, but the parent review says it is “close to her University.” Pandan Valley is located near the south‑western part of Singapore, roughly 10–15 minutes’ drive to NUS (Kent Ridge campus) and about 20–30 minutes by car to NTU. Public transport options include buses and the nearby Clementi MRT station (about a 10‑minute bus ride). Confirm the exact commute time with the operator based on your specific campus.
