Overview & Location
1B Jalan Wangi is a residential property located at Singapore 349350, within walking distance of several university campuses. The building offers a mix of non-ensuite rooms and apartments, with a minimum lease of 3 months and availability from 3 July 2026. The property is rated 4.5 out of 5 stars on Google (52 reviews) and is tagged as pet-friendly, with laundry facilities and fibre broadband included.
The address places it in a quiet residential zone, close to bus stops and convenience stores. Residents mention that the neighbourhood is calm and convenient for students, though the rent level and self-service aspects (laundry, bedding) are points to consider.
Who This Residence Suits
Students who want a quiet, stable base near university.
The area is described as “very calm and quiet” by a parent reviewer, and the property is within a short commute to multiple universities. If your priority is a peaceful study environment rather than a bustling city-centre social scene, this location works well.
Short-term tenants (3 months or more).
With a minimum lease of 3 months, the property accommodates semester-level stays or short-term internships. The 3 July 2026 move-in date aligns with mid-year academic intakes.
Pet owners.
The “pet-friendly” tag is a clear signal. If you plan to bring a cat or small dog, few student accommodations in Singapore allow this – 1B Jalan Wangi is one of the few.
Residents comfortable with self-managed living.
Reviews indicate that bedding, laundry and cleaning are your own responsibility. This suits independent students who prefer to control their own space and routine.
International students wanting cultural events.
One review mentions Chinese New Year and Christmas celebrations organised by the residence. If community events matter to you, the property runs them.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
Budget-conscious renters.
The property’s price is not publicly listed in this data set, but the city-wide starting price for student housing in Singapore is SGD 207 per month (single room in shared unit). 1B Jalan Wangi offers non-ensuite rooms and apartments – likely higher than that entry point. If you need the absolute cheapest option, you may find lower-priced shared rooms elsewhere.
Residents expecting all-inclusive services.
The review from Ian Chan (3 stars) notes: “Everything need to be prepared by yourself including the blanket. Also need to pay for the washing machine and dryer and clean the bed sheet yourself.” If you want linen provided, free laundry, or a fully serviced en suite, this may not be your best fit.
People sensitive to outdoor heat / broken equipment.
Ian also mentions: “Outdoor gym is so hot and the fan were broken.” If you rely on an outdoor gym, note that maintenance issues have occurred. In Singapore’s tropical climate, broken fans can be a real problem.
Double or family occupancy.
The unit types are “non_ensuite” and “apartment”. An apartment could suit two sharers, but the data does not specify if apartments are studios or multi-bedroom. Check directly if you need a two-bedroom layout.
What Residents Say
Three Google reviews provide a balanced picture.
Ian Chan (3 stars)
“Have a really cozy environment nearby. The rent is not cheap, but everything need to be prepared by yourself including the blanket. Also need to pay for the washing machine and dryer and clean the bed sheet yourself. Outdoor gym is so hot and the fan were broken. (Half year staying experience.)”
Key takeaway: Cozy neighbourhood, but added costs for laundry and bedding; outdoor gym maintenance is a concern.
Rutuja Prabhune (5 stars)
“I came at campus by the assembly place in May 2025. And it was great living here. Nice place to live, enjoy and study. Making New Friends from different cultures. Also Accomodations has celebration such as Chinese New Year, Christmas celebrations etc. Campus by the assembly place feels like home far away from your home”
Key takeaway: Positive social atmosphere, cultural events, feels like a home away from home.
S S Family First (5 stars)
“Nice place for students, very calm and quiet with all the facilities. Our daughter is staying here and finds it very convenient. It is close to her University.”
Key takeaway: Parents approve; quiet, convenient location near university.
The overall rating of 4.5 (52 reviews) suggests the majority of residents have a good experience, with the main criticism being the self-service model and minor maintenance issues.
Price Positioning
The property’s exact price is not provided in the data. However, the city’s starting price for student housing (across 129 properties) is SGD 207 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). That entry point typically covers a basic shared non-ensuite room. Given that 1B Jalan Wangi offers both non-ensuite and apartment types, the actual rent will likely be above SGD 207. The review from Ian Chan explicitly says “the rent is not cheap.”
- If you are looking for the very cheapest option in Singapore, you will probably find it elsewhere (shared rooms in older HDB flats or purpose-built hostels).
- If you want a pet-friendly, short-term lease in a quiet neighbourhood with good reviews, expect to pay a moderate-to-premium price. Confirm the rate directly with the operator before booking.
Room Types & Lease Terms
- Unit types: non-ensuite (shared bathroom) and apartment (private bathroom and kitchen).
- Minimum lease: 3 months.
- Available from: 3 July 2026.
- Deposit: Not listed in the data – ask the operator.
Guidance: If you want to save money, choose a non-ensuite room – but note you will share bathroom and possibly kitchen. If privacy is a priority, request an apartment unit. The “pet-friendly” tag likely applies to both types, but confirm with the operator.
Booking Timing
Available from 3 July 2026 – that is mid-2026. Given the property’s good rating and limited pet-friendly stock in Singapore, if you plan to move in around July, start your inquiry at least 3–4 months in advance (around March–April 2026). Notice periods and lease start dates can vary; some tenants secure rooms earlier. Since the minimum lease is 3 months, you can also consider booking for a shorter period and extending if needed.
FAQ
H3: Is the rent inclusive of utilities like water, electricity, and internet?
The data does not specify utility inclusion. The tags show “fibre_broadband” so internet connection is provided, but you may need to pay separately for electricity and water. The review from Ian Chan mentions paying for washing machine and dryer use, suggesting that some costs are extra. Always ask the operator for a full breakdown of included utilities.
H3: Can I move in before 3 July 2026?
The available-from date in the data is 3 July 2026. If you need an earlier move-in, you may need to look at other properties in Singapore (there are 129 listings in the city). Some may have vacant rooms immediately. Check the on‑site assistant for real-time availability of all properties.
H3: Are couples or two people allowed in one apartment?
The unit type “apartment” could be a studio or a one-bedroom flat. The data does not state occupancy limits. For two people sharing, you would likely need an apartment – confirm with the operator whether double occupancy is permitted and whether there is an extra fee.
