I agree. Single or couple, I believe personal comfort to be the best and having such a small space can cause clastrophobia. To each their own but having lived in an exec hdb flat my whole life, being in a 2-room flat honestly made it suffocating and it’s also really hot…. Will consider a 3-room as ideal perhaps

Thank you for this, especially when I'm thinking of right sizing from a 4 room to a probably 3 room bto or a resale unit which is usually bigger than bro's any day. Even with the 99-yr lease.

255 cm celling to floor is normal. I staying in my parent 5 room flat built in 2000 is also the same. 255cm

If I had to get 1 of these chicken cage, I’ll migrate.

SPH put satellites in orbit so that media offenders can use them to see through walls of any building in Singapore, and they can electromagnetically zap the bodily functions of anybody anywhere. These electromagnetic radiation can trigger all reactions in the body, including disease symptoms and pain, and the offenders are using these satellites to torture me and keep me under constant surveillance to play their "white teeth", "use the hands" game. Please help me. Please call on the government to take action on the media offenders' illegal use of satellites and stop their criminal oppression and torture.

Can you hear walking, dropping things or dragging furniture noise?

Hi hi Singles-Small is ok Have your own private place & simple lifestyles no regrets Afterwork all are tired, don't stress yourself so much unnecessary cleaning up Take care, relax & enjoy yourself instead 😊

Even is a tiny flat which is always better than renting a small room. For a single person like me. This 2 room BTO is consider spacious room to me.😅 Flats are getting more and more expensive 😮.

Scandinavia

I love the rustic vibe ...

Disagree with you, i stay in 2 room , feel very spacious

I downsized to a 2 room best decision ever easy to clean plus it's really cozy i don't have to walk 10m to the kitchen. It forced to declutter and live simply.

Minimalist 💞

In contrast what was mentioned, I find it a haven living at my 2 room bto at bukit batok west Ave 8. Super windy though from 6th floor. Nice built in features for package A,B,C. So happy I found my dream home. No negative aspects I can find but be very thankful to the Lord time after time. A blessed dream 🏡🏠🎉❤

You said height from floor to ceiling is 2.55m. But this is STANDARD whether it's 2, 3, 4, 5 room flats. No choice, for singles, HDB allows 2 room only; unless you buy resale. As you know SG is a small country. On the positive side, well if you look at the houses offered by our HDB compared to houses in say Hong Kong or some other countries, we are actually considered fortunate. Everything has pros and cons. Hope you do find happiness nevertheless, in living your house.

什么都要投诉都不满意😂。

I just applied the bto oct intake. I feel more secure if you are able to afford your own house. These days the price are increasing and honestly not many singles can afford unless otherwise if you earn above 3.5k, i believe. It will be a luxury to have your very own house. At least staying alone will be fine i hoped :)

2 rm bto in prime location is a paradise…people are not stupid..

Ya lor everything all increased prices mah! So expensive even for us Sporeans! Resale even worse! Until we die also cant finish paying unless u super rich ar!!!

For singles - a shoebox unit works fine. House chore is kept to under 30mins to clean the whole unit.

For any new flats in Tengah, better double-check your drainage to ensure these foreign workers didn't wash their cement into it. Once handover, you will have to engage workers to hack off the solid cement. Check for leak too... jealousy can make foreigners do of funny stuffs

Have a place to stay still complain, thank God you are not homeless or staying in coffin apartments like those in HK. Be grateful.

I am curious why you went for the 38sqm one when there was the 48sqm option. Although there is a price difference the 10sqm difference and the design of that unit makes more sense functionally

2 ROOM BTO FLAT AFTER 5 YEAR CAN BE RENTED OUT ?

can ask your 3 panel sliding door can open and close through both left and right side? or just one sided open and close?

For Single is good enough.

2 room flats are ideal for singles who travel and stay abroad for weeks or months. It serves as a large personal hotel space when you're back for a few days.

How much is your monthly utilities bill? Btw can you sell your unit and bid for another 2 rooms BTO 47 type 2?

You mean hot because there is no air or just your unit facing west sun? Do you use aircon? I'm getting mine I'm so concern about the air circulation if like you say hot 😬 also ceiling is low? How come?

Should have purchased 47sqm..is more spacious

it is really inhuman that our country has to build such small flat and go down the path of HK...there are unlimited space vertically, why do hdb have to go down the path of hk...

That by definition is wear and tear. All can be done within in hrs time. You learning tho is something different. And by the looks of it you failed as landlord or tenant by not doing inspection and informing the correct people. By court standards it's neglect. So which are you the landlord or tenant.

Geez…seriously, to be enabled to owned yr own Shelter, is very good already! Even though the flat is small, I don’t mind actually ya!

If you have taken your grant for the current 2-room BTO, will you be charged resale levy if you buy a resale flat? If so, your profit margin will be quite low. It is also cheaper for many singles to buy 2-room BTO directly from HDB then tthrough resale market, unless your unit is "top dog" in the competitive market. Even if there is some profit, part of it will also be used to pay for the COV to the resale seller. You may then need to take up loan because it is near impossible to match sales price of your 2-room BTO with the hefty purchase price of 3-room flat in the resale market, unless it is situated in the most remote and distant part of Singapore. The government has also recently lowered the Loan Quantum by 5%, and you need to fork out more cash for the shortfall in the next flat purchase.. Don't get me started on the renovation cost of 3-room HDB, it is not cheap either. Once you reached 55yo, and if you do not meet the minimum retirement sum, , CPF may lock up your fund and you cannot use your CPF to service the mortgage loan. Best is to pay off all your loan before 55yo, and that means shorten your repayments period, which means increasing your monthly installments. A lot of cash considerations if you plan to upgrade. Alternate Option, if 38sqm layout is not ideal, then sell your 38sqm and buy a resale 48sqm 2-room BTO that meets your space and layout requirements. This option is good for those with limited budget and you still get a better 2-room home (nearly 1-1 in exchange value).

Is good for Single who does not want to live with others.

I love my 2 room Bto it is spacious and comfy. It depends on your layout and how you make use of space. Dark colours make the space smaller so I chose a very light grey-green and it opens up the space. The only setback is my kitchen faces neighbour's kitchen and the distance is just 1.5 bamboo pole length.

Thank you for sharing the cost! 12k plus and beautifully done! I was really worried when i see some reno work for 2-room can go up to 38k..

I just collected my keys for my 38m2 2 room flat. Love the design (different from yours). Agree its tight, it actually deter me from cluttering. Need no renovation, as it comes with neat vinyl floor design and good colour sliding doors. Deco it with Balinese design (mostly preloved mint conditioned) and it looks so cozy and inviting now... All my friends love my place. Maybe you should consider not place individual furniture that doesnt match and take away that yellow walls -.-"

Thank you for sharing. But it all money matter.. 😂

has been mentioned before, but it's Heaven for those of us that want privacy, also a great excuse to say to people they can't come over cause there's no space. I'm currently in a house shared with others, I hate every second of it and cleaning is a constant must.

Thanks for sharing and your catwalk measuring of floor space😂. May I ask, other than noise from next door neighbour, do you hear feet stomping noise from upstairs neighbour?

Best is to try japanese concept. No bed no sofa..just buy the foldable mattress for ur room will do

The whole design is very dated, old fashioned.

That's why most applications choose type 2 in the bto exercises for that extra 10sqm of space despite higher price

Its better to stay in a 2room bto than in a rental flat. Atleast u own the house. If u can only afford 2room bto then its still ok. Resale value of 2 room bto is high. U can upgrade to 3 or 4 room after mop

你嫌这个屋子小，但这个屋子的客厅幸好还有个财库位，可惜你把财库位给压住了。如果你能好好利用财库位，小屋子能变大屋子。

you deserve it since you chose it. why be such a bitch after 6 years?

Single person BTO when you reach elderly maybe you have to move out because cannot stay alone.

Wanna ask your opinion whether 7th floor out of highest 29th still technically considered mid floor?

Great recommendations,kudos
