Finding apartments for rent in Singapore usually starts with a scramble through listing sites that all promise the same thing, so it helps to see who actually delivers once tenants move in. Between them, the names below have logged 792 reviews, and the ratings sit in a tight band from 4.1 to 4.4. That narrow spread means the real differences are in what each option specializes in, not raw star count.

Short answer: MetroResidences tops the list at 4.4 across 311 reviews, covering serviced apartments and coliving rooms across the island. Lucky Plaza Apartment follows at 4.3 with a central Orchard Road address, and Liv Residences Novena holds 4.2 across 212 reviews with a rooftop pool. Serviced units here typically start around S$1,600 a month for a shared room and climb well past S$5,000 for a full condo.

Our take: This is the pick for tenants who want to be in the middle of Orchard Road and don't need resort-style amenities. The 4.3 rating reflects a solid, no-frills option rather than a luxury stay.

Our take: At 4.1, this is the lowest rating on the page, but the complaints are narrow, mostly about amenities rather than the units themselves. A fair pick if the Upper Thomson location and reservoir views outweigh a lighter facilities list.

How we score these rentals

Rating is the live Google average for each property. Review volume shows how many tenants and visitors actually left feedback, weighed against the others on this page. Confidence blends rating and volume together, since a high score on a small sample carries less weight than the same score at scale. Recency tracks how current the reviews are. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do apartments for rent cost in Singapore? (2026)

Pricing depends heavily on unit type, lease length, and neighborhood. Coliving rooms sit at the affordable end, while multi-bedroom serviced apartments and condo units in central districts push rents considerably higher.

Serving all of Singapore

These options span Serangoon, Novena, Orchard, and Upper Thomson, giving renters a spread across the island’s central and northern districts. If you’re looking for apartments for rent near me in Singapore, this mix covers everything from shopping-strip convenience to quieter residential pockets near MRT lines.

What to ask before you rent in Singapore

What’s the minimum lease term, and is there a penalty for breaking it early?
What exactly is included in the rent, such as utilities, wifi, and housekeeping?
How is the security deposit handled, and how long does a refund typically take?
Is the unit furnished, and what happens if something breaks during the lease?
How close is the nearest MRT station, and what’s the walk really like?
Are there additional fees for parking, gym access, or pool use?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these apartments?

We pulled real Google ratings and review counts for apartment rentals across Singapore, then ranked them using rating, review volume, and how recently tenants have been reviewing.

How often is this updated?

We refreshed this list in July 2026 using current Google data, and we recheck it periodically as ratings and review counts shift.

Do these apartments require a minimum stay?

Most serviced apartment operators on this page set a minimum lease, often around three months, though terms vary by property and unit type.

Are utilities included in the rent?

Many serviced apartments bundle utilities and wifi into the monthly rate, but condo rentals may bill these separately. Confirm with each property before signing.

The bottom line

MetroResidences is the safest default thanks to its size, range of unit types, and the strongest review base on this page, though it’s worth asking about deposit terms up front. If Orchard Road’s location matters more to you than resort amenities, Lucky Plaza Apartment is the practical alternative.
