Different Singapore Houses (Photos)

Gatoe, my friend from back home asked me to post photos of the types of houses in Singapore. I am sure it can also help other people coming to Singapore  to get a better idea. Here are some notes from my rental house searching:

• Houses do not have garages
• Most houses do not have conventional ovens. Negotiate
• All stoves are gas
• All houses are multi storey except Bungalows. Bungalows can also have more than one level.
• All houses have airconditioning, but not all thru the whole house. Check
• Partially furnished includes aircons, curtains, washer, dryer and some TV,s Check
• Shower and bath configurations vary and must be checked
• Most houses do not have gardens or very small
• Most houses can only fit one car. People park in the street
• Forget about a swimming pool unless you have stacks of money
• Housing is "cheaper" outside the city
• Terrace houses have windows in the front and back. Not on the sides because of the walls.
• Bishan and Serangoon is nice areas to look for housing. 11 kilometers outside the city.
• If you have pets like I do your choices will be limited.
