Figment lets studio apartments in conserved shophouses across eight Singapore neighbourhoods. Pick the area you want to live in and see the houses on those streets.
Studio apartments for rent by neighbourhood is the honest way to search Singapore, because the neighbourhood decides more than the floor plan does. The same rent buys a very different week depending on whether you wake up on a Petain Road terrace or an Emerald Hill conservation street.
Figment lets studios in eight areas. Start with the one whose daily rhythm suits you, then compare the individual houses on those streets.
Jalan Besar is a working neighbourhood of hardware shops and kopitiams with four MRT lines inside a walk. Emerald Hill puts you on conservation terraces a few minutes from Orchard Road. Geylang has five houses on one street, Lorong 24A, including the Club House. River Valley sits between Mohamed Sultan and Kim Yam Road. Joo Chiat and Katong bring the pastel terraces of Koon Seng Road. Tanjong Pagar means Blair Road and Neil Road in the Blair Plain conservation area. Chinatown is a single house on Mosque Street. Bukit Timah is greener and quieter, near Beauty World.
Every studio is self-contained, with its own kitchenette and its own ensuite, inside a building small enough that you learn the names of the people in it. Rates are all-inclusive of WiFi, utilities and weekly housekeeping of the shared areas. Studios sleep two. There is no agent fee, because you deal with us rather than an intermediary.
Every stay runs on Singapore’s three-month minimum — a national rule rather than a Figment one. The Urban Redevelopment Authority requires a minimum stay of three consecutive months for private residential lets. After that, notice is one month for as long as you keep going, so month four onwards is effectively rolling.

Hardware shops and kopitiams, or conservation terraces minutes from Orchard Road. The rent can be similar; the daily rhythm is not. Choose the area first and the house second.
Own kitchenette, own ensuite, own door. Furnished and working on the day you arrive, with WiFi live and weekly housekeeping of the shared areas already arranged.
Singapore sets a three-month floor on residential lets. After that, notice is one month for as long as you keep going, so a stay can stretch without a new commitment.
