Coliving vs HDB Room Rental in Singapore

Private en-suite studio vs a shared HDB room — see which fits your budget and lifestyle.

About the Neighbourhood

Renting a room in an HDB flat is usually the lowest-cost option in Singapore, but it often means sharing the home with a landlord or their family, basic furnishing, shared bathrooms and little privacy. Figment coliving offers a different trade-off: a private, fully furnished studio with its own en-suite bathroom inside a conserved, designer-restored shophouse.

With Figment, WiFi, utilities and weekly cleaning of common areas are bundled into one monthly rate, alongside shared kitchens, living areas and a Figment Club House community — across neighbourhoods like Jalan Besar, Geylang and Joo Chiat. Stays are URA-approved from three months with a one-month notice period, so you get privacy and flexibility an informal room rental rarely matches.

Figment coliving studios start from S$1,850/month — browse our shophouses to find a room.

What Our Members Are Saying

The most inspired dinner parties

"I've held the most inspired dinner parties living across the coolest Figment shophouses. My guests were so impressed they ended up taking selfies with the homes!"

Shruti, Tech Entrepreneur Venus House

A Welcoming Community for Expats

"As a new expat, Figment's community of friendly and sophisticated professionals has been incredibly welcoming. The shared experiences and connections have truly made my transition to Singapore a wonderful journey."

Charlotte, Brand Manager 6m at Venus House

Discover the Magic of Heritage Living

"Finding Figment has been a revelation. Their beautifully restored shophouses offer a living experience like no other in Singapore. Knowing that only 0.001% of locals get to enjoy such heritage treasures makes it even more special."
