1. Family-Friendly Amenities and Facilities

Unlike staying in a hotel room, a serviced apartment for a family provides expats with every modern amenities they need in a home. With large, fully furnished living spaces, multiple bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, and working spaces, these apartments have it all. And to top off your expat housing experience, you can opt-in for housekeeping service for your serviced apartment rental in Singapore too.

Plus, they have a wide selection of hotel-like amenities, many of which are family-oriented facilities that you would get with a hotel room. These include play areas, swimming pools, fitness centres, and more. 

At a place like J Gateway, you can get a 2 bedroom serviced apartment in Singapore with access to their leisure pool, a 50 m infinity edge lap pool, and a kids’ pool with a vertical playground. You can eat at Café del Mar or relax in a cabana. 

Visit the Diamond Gym Capsule to really home in on your workout and enjoy panoramic views at the Outdoor Fitness and Indoor Gym. Stroll through the sky garden on the 24th floor or curl up with a good book in the Reading Corner. Places like J Gateway have endless opportunities for relaxation and comfortable living for your family.

2. Space and Privacy

Most hotel rooms are basically studio apartments, you and your family will have to cram into one shared space that includes the beds, kitchen (if you have one), and living room where no one has any privacy. In contrast, Singapore’s serviced apartments for a family offer both space and privacy for your family members. There are plenty of two- or three-bedroom apartments for families big and small.

In these apartments, you and your spouse can have a bedroom separate from your kids, and, depending on how many rooms you get, your kids can each get their own room too. No matter how close your family is, everyone needs their own personal space. 

When each family member has their own privacy, your place will truly feel like a home for you and your kids. If you need a moment to yourself, you can slip into your room, and your kids can do the same.

In this 1,200-square-foot rental at V on Shenton, your family will have plenty of room to be comfortable. This apartment has 3 bedrooms, perfect for everyone in the family to have their own space where they can relax.

3. Flexibility and Convenience

Serviced apartments provide tons of flexibility and convenience. You get to enjoy flexible lease terms. So if it’s time to move on, you won’t need to worry about losing your deposit because of the lease agreement. You’ll also have the flexibility to stay for a longer period by extending your lease if you need to. Your stay can be completely adaptable to your circumstances while you enjoy the best of what spacious living can offer.

In addition, your place has the convenience of a kitchen. To get a kitchen in a hotel, you often have to upgrade your room to something completely unaffordable, but you can easily find affordable serviced apartments for families with a kitchen at competitive rates. That’s why serviced apartments remain a popular choice for expat families.

With a fully-equipped kitchen, you can cook and eat in your apartment, meaning you won’t have to eat out or order in for every meal. This saves so much money, especially when you’re feeding a family. It’s also great for family members who have dietary restrictions. You can buy the ingredients and cook them yourself, so you know exactly what’s in each meal instead of taking a restaurant’s word for it.

4. Location and Accessibility

You don’t have to worry about finding apartment rentals in Singapore with prime locations. Many serviced apartments for rent in Singapore are located in family-friendly neighborhoods with easy access to public transportation, along with parks and schools for your children. Be it in major shopping districts or the West Coast, Singapore has both cheap and luxury serviced apartments for families all over the city, so you’ll want to make sure you find one that fits your needs. For families looking for a little more excitement, there are serviced apartments in and around Clarke Quay too.

You’re likely in Singapore for work, so you’ll want a place either close to your work or close to hassle-free transportation. But you’ll also need to get your kids to school and have places nearby where they can play and get their energy out. With that, a serviced apartment rental in the Central Business District may not always be the most ideal.

This family-friendly serviced apartments at Jadescape has all of that and more. It has one of the most convenient locations in Singpaore—just a 3-minute walk to Marymount MRT and 1 train stop away from Bishan MRT Interchange and Caldecott MRT Interchange, which means you can easily get anywhere in the city.

There are tons of schools nearby, including these within a few kilometres:

• • • Catholic High School
    • Ai Tong School
    • Ang Mo Kio Primary School
    • Guangyang Primary School
    • Marymount Convent School

    • Raffles Institution

Along with schools, you can find family-friendly activities nearby, such as Bishan North Shopping Mall and Jalan Pintau Playground.

5. Safety and Security

The safety of your family is so important when it comes to choosing where to live. Sometimes you have to weigh security with financial considerations, but that doesn’t have to be the case with your apartment rental in Singapore. 

These apartment complexes want to ensure you always feel comfortable and protected. Serviced apartments provide many security features, such as secure access, 24/7 reception, and CCTV surveillance, meaning that people who don’t belong in the building can’t simply walk in as they please. 

You’ll be able to have peace of mind that no one can harm your family and enjoy your time with your loved ones without worrying about their protection.
