Boutique serviced apartments in Singapore's heritage shophouses — weekly housekeeping, WiFi & utilities included, flexible 3-month-plus stays.
Find My Boutique HomeServiced apartments in Singapore are furnished units — typically within hotel-managed blocks — combining apartment privacy with hotel-style services: housekeeping, a front desk, and flexible leases. They suit corporate relocations, short-term assignments, and expats who need a professional address quickly. Figment occupies a distinct niche here. Rather than managed blocks, Figment's serviced rooms are inside Singapore's gazetted conservation shophouses — two- and three-storey heritage buildings with terracotta rooftiles, original timber floors, and courtyard airwells — across Tanjong Pagar, Chinatown, Jalan Besar, Emerald Hill, River Valley, Joo Chiat, and Bukit Timah. Each Figment room is a private, fully furnished suite inside a boutique shophouse shared with a small group of like-minded professionals. All-inclusive monthly rent covers utilities (electricity, water, gas), high-speed fibre WiFi, and weekly cleaning of shared spaces. No agent fee. Minimum three months with one month's notice. Pricing: from S$1,800/month at Temak House (Bukit Timah), S$1,850 at Jalan Besar and Petain Road houses (Brick, Kongsi, Derby, Monochrome, Cavenagh, Allenby, Venus, Voyage, Peninsula), S$2,000 at Emerald Hill and Orchard houses (Ambon, Library, Canopy, Palladium, Banda, Cuppage), S$2,450 at Irama House in Chinatown, and S$2,700 at Vignette House in Tanjong Pagar. How Figment compares: Traditional serviced apartments in Singapore's CBD — near Somerset or Marina Bay — typically cost S$3,500–S$6,000+/month for a studio unit, often with minimum six- or twelve-month leases. Figment is priced significantly below that range. The trade-off is daily housekeeping for a genuine residential community — designers, entrepreneurs, and expats who prefer living in heritage buildings over glass towers. MRT access: Jalan Besar and Petain Road houses are steps from Farrer Park, Little India, and Jalan Besar MRT. Tanjong Pagar's Vignette House is a 5-minute walk to Tanjong Pagar MRT. Irama House is minutes from Chinatown MRT. Emerald Hill houses are near Orchard and Somerset MRT. Figment suits professionals on three- to twelve-month Singapore assignments wanting a furnished home without a hotel price tag; new arrivals seeking immediate community; and expats who prefer Tanjong Pagar's shophouse streets or Jalan Besar's cafés over managed apartment blocks. URA-approved 3-month minimum leases. No agent fee.

When people search for serviced apartments in Singapore, theyâre usually looking for two things: a furnished, managed living space and the flexibility to leave before a year is up. Figment’s boutique shophouse residences offer both â at rents that start significantly below the cityâs branded serviced apartment towers, with a character those towers canât match.
Conventional serviced apartments in Singapore from brands like Ascott, Oakwood, or Fraser Suites typically price studio units from S$4,000 to S$8,000 per month. They are built for short assignments and transient stays. Figment is built for people who want to actually live somewhere.
Like a serviced apartment, every Figment home is fully furnished and all-inclusive. High-speed WiFi, utilities, and weekly housekeeping of shared areas are bundled into one flat monthly payment. There are no agent fees and no utility deposits on top of rent.
In Tanjong Pagar &emdash; one of Singaporeâs most desirable neighbourhoods for international professionals &emdash; Vignkôte House on Neil Road and Canvas House on Blair Road offer rooms from S$2,700 to S$2,950/month. Both are a 3-minute walk from Outram Park MRT (EWL/NEL/TEL).
The Emerald Hill and Orchard cluster &emdash; Ambon, Library, Canopy, Palladium, Banda, and Cuppage House &emdash; sits at Singaporeâs most central address near Somerset and Orchard MRT, with rooms from S$2,000/month. River Valley houses including Straits House, Aviary, Botany, House Jogoh, and Alawi sit between Clarke Quay MRT (NEL) and Great World MRT (TEL), priced from S$2,500/month. In Jalan Besar, nine houses including Brick House and Allenby House offer Singaporeâs lowest Figment entry point from S$1,850/month, near Jalan Besar MRT on the Downtown Line.
Traditional serviced apartments often require a minimum of 7 nights for a short stay, or 3–6 months for a long-stay rate. Figmentâs model is URA-approved for a 3-month minimum lease, with one monthâs notice to leave. No agent commission, no complex check-out procedures. Itâs the flexibility of a serviced apartment with the authenticity of a real Singapore home. Rooms start from S$1,850/month.

We hope you’ll get to know your fellow housemates as soon as you move in. The Figment Club House is a members-only ‘homespace’ for you to meet the Figment community. You're also invited to our curated events. Think private dining with local chefs or book-binding classes hosted by independent creatives. Through these events, we hope you’ll get to know more Figment members from other homes.
You will be joining a creative community of open-minded, well-travelled professionals. Creative souls from diverse backgrounds in tech, finance, design, and other knowledge industries. Although most members are in their thirties, many are in their sixties and seventies! Rather than our age though, what matters is our shared appreciation of art and culture. It helps to bring a sense of adventure going off the beaten track of cookie-cutter condo living.
Not so much, this is Figment’s vision of shared housing for grown-ups. We are not slicing and dicing apartments into cages just to stuff two hundred people into a building. With Figment you always have room to breathe. Socialise as much as you like, or choose to retire to your private studio within a huge 3000ft² shophouse.
Most definitely. We think you'd figure out a nice arrangement with your housemates if they would also like to work there.
The application process is easy and can all be completed online, or in-person if you’re local. First you’ll fill out the application form on our site by clicking the orange ‘Find My Home’ button. We will reach out to you within the next business day for us to get to know you better. If you’re in Singapore, we can bring you on an in-person tour, if you’re remote, we can tour with you virtually. At that time, you can reserve the space by e-signing your lease and transferring the security deposit.

According to the Council for Estate Agencies, to rent property in Singapore, you need to be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident. Non-citizens may rent if they hold an employment or work permit like an S-pass, a student pass, dependent pass or long term social visit pass. That said, even with foreigners holding legal residence, the problem is that most Singapore landlords may not be too pleased with short term leases and would typically require at least a 1 or 2 year contract. Figment provides a much-needed, flexible alternative for serviced suites with flexible lease terms and a 1-month notice period.
