4 Bedroom Apartment, 227 Pasir Panjang Road – Decision Review
This review helps you evaluate whether the 4 Bedroom Apartment at 227 Pasir Panjang Road fits your needs as a student or young professional in Singapore. All prices and availability are indicative as of July 2026 – confirm directly with the operator before making any commitment.
Property Overview & Location
The apartment is located at 227 Pasir Panjang Road, Singapore 117341, in the western part of the island. This area sits close to the Kent Ridge and Pasir Panjang neighbourhoods, which are well-known for their proximity to research institutes and green spaces. The property is within reasonable distance of several universities, including the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore Management University, and Singapore University of Technology and Design, though commute times vary depending on your campus.
The address offers access to public transport via Pasir Panjang Road (bus routes) and the Pasir Panjang MRT station on the Circle Line, roughly a 10-minute walk. Hawker centres, convenience stores, and the Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre are nearby, providing affordable food and grocery options.
The property itself is a 4-bedroom apartment with shared facilities, or can be rented as a whole unit depending on availability. It also offers a 1-bedroom option and an independent house layout within the same development. On-site amenities include a gym, swimming pool, and laundry facilities.
Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Doesn’t)
Suits:
- Students or professionals who prefer group living and want access to recreational facilities like a pool and gym without leaving the building.
- Those who need a relatively short lease – the minimum term is 3 months, which works for exchange students or short-term internships.
- People studying or working at NUS (Kent Ridge campus) or nearby research parks, as the location is about 15–20 minutes by bus or a short ride to NUS.
- Groups of up to 4 friends who can split the rent on a 4-bedroom unit, making the per-person cost more manageable (the lower end of the price range for a 4-bedroom would be around SGD 475–500 per person per month when shared, though this is indicative).
Does not suit:
- Anyone who needs to be close to central Singapore or the city centre (e.g., SMU or SUTD) – daily commuting from Pasir Panjang will take 40–60 minutes by public transport.
- Students seeking a private room with ensuite bathroom – the property likely shares bathrooms among bedrooms; check the exact layout.
- People on a very tight budget: while the city’s starting price from SGD 207 (indicative – confirm with the operator) exists for basic dorms or shared rooms, this property’s lowest published rate of SGD 1,900 per month is significantly higher and may require a larger upfront financial commitment.
- Those who need immediate move-in – the apartment is available from 3 July 2026, so you need to plan ahead.
What Residents Actually Say
Only one published review from Google is available for this listing. The resident, Olga Aristova, rated the property 5 out of 5 and wrote:
“Our lovely place ❤️ We used to rent an apartment here for a few years.”
This positive comment suggests long-term satisfaction, emphasising the property as a “lovely place”. With only 28 total Google reviews and an average rating of 3.9 (out of 5), the overall sentiment is favourable but not overwhelmingly high. The trustworthiness is moderate – the sample size is small, so the review cannot be taken as a guarantee of your experience. It does indicate that some tenants were happy enough to stay for several years, which points to decent management and maintenance.
Price Positioning & Room-Type Guidance
The property’s price range is SGD 1,900 – 8,400 per month (indicative – confirm with the operator). This wide spread corresponds to different room types:
- 1Bedroom (1b): Likely the lowest rate, around SGD 1,900–2,500 per month for a studio or one-bedroom unit. Suitable for solo tenants or couples.
- 4Bedroom (4b): Priced at the upper end – around SGD 5,000–8,400 per month for the whole apartment. If you share with three other people, each pays between SGD 1,250 and 2,100 per month (indicative). That is above the city’s median for shared rooms, but you gain exclusive use of common areas and facilities.
- Independent house: May be a separate building or a larger layout; price likely in the mid-to-high range. Best for a group that wants more privacy and space.
To benchmark: the city of Singapore shows a from-price of SGD 207 (indicative – likely for a hostel bed or very basic shared room). The average student housing property in Singapore starts around SGD 600–1,000 per month for a private room in a shared flat. At SGD 1,900 for a 1-bedroom, this property is positioned as mid-to-upper-tier – you pay for the pool, gym, and newer/cleaner facilities.
Booking Timing
The earliest move-in date is 3 July 2026. For students beginning an academic semester in August/September 2026, booking in April–June 2026 is advisable to secure your preferred room type. The property has a minimum lease of 3 months, meaning you can stay until at least October 2026. If you plan to stay longer (e.g., a full academic year), check with the operator whether extensions are possible and at what price.
Demand for accommodation near NUS is generally high in the summer intake period, so don’t wait until the last minute. However, because the price is not the lowest in the area, availability may be slightly better than budget options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the price negotiable or are there extra fees?
All prices listed are indicative and subject to change. You should confirm with the operator the exact monthly rent, the deposit (not provided in this data), and any additional charges such as utilities, cleaning fees, or internet. The listing does not state a deposit amount, so ask directly.
Q: Can I rent a single room in the 4-bedroom apartment?
The listing name “room in a 4-bedroom apartment” suggests that individual rooms may be available for rent, but the current data lists the unit types as “4b”, “1b”, and “independent_house”. Check with the operator whether they offer per-room leases (each room with its own lock) or only the whole apartment. The price range of SGD 1,900–8,400 likely covers both solo and group options.
Q: How do I get to NTU or SMU from this address?
From Pasir Panjang Road, you can take bus 94 or 201 to Jurong East or Boon Lay to connect to NTU (total trip ~45–60 minutes). For SMU, take a bus to HarbourFront MRT or Kent Ridge MRT, then switch to the North-East or Circle Line – typically a 50–70-minute commute. The property is most convenient for NUS, which is about 20 minutes by bus.
