Accomodation/schooling near Jurong

Dear Friends,
I will be shifting to Singapore sometime in March next year. Have few queries if someone can help !

What will be the rent of a decent 2BHK apartment near Jurong area? Which CBSE schools are present in Singapore and it will be how far from Jurong?

Also how far DPS will be from Jurong?

Will be really grateful if someone can guide on this issue.


Thanks

Hi Sangi,

Rental will depend on how big a flat you are looking at. Jurong is a big estate and depending where you are will determine your travelling time. What is CBSE and DPS ?

Hi Sangi,

First, Welcome to S'pore! Jurong is quite far from the city ( well, S'pore is a small place, so commuting is not an issue) There is an Indian School near to Jurong.
The Global Indian International school, Queenstown. Just 10-15 mins drive from Jurong. DPS is very far from Jurong. It's in Kovan. central part of S'pore.

Rental in & around Jurong is pretty low than the central or eastern part but again as vidyakriti said it all depends on size.Any 4 room HDB flat ( kitchen + 3 room+ living room) will be roughly around $800-$1000. But if u go for private home or Condo definitely it costs above $1500/-

I agree to what the other two said on schooling. This year onwards rental costs are crazily going up and so watch out! A 2Bed room apt may even go upto 2000 rent, and it depends on area and how well the area is "rich".

Hi! Anu Shiv,Jayashree & Vidyakirti,

Thanks for the feedback. Now I am somewhat clear now. 2BHK ( means 2rooms+living room+kitchen) will cost around 1800$ (Of course it will depend on house to house)after increase in the rent spree going on..

Are their any other school of CBSE board beside Bhavan school?

What are the options for Science students after 12th Class?

Thanks again for the response which are quite helpful.

Have a nice day

Sangi
