Districts 4, 1, and 9 post highest rents for 3-bedroom units in Q2

Rents in these areas reached  $8,500, $8,475, and $7,500, respectively.

Average median rents for 3-bedroom units were the highest in Districts 4, 1, and 9 in the second quarter of 2025, according to the research released by Savills Singapore.

The highest commanding average rent for District 4 (Harbourfront/Telok Blangah) was at $8,500, followed by District 1 (Boat Quay/Marina/Raffles Place) at $8,475, and District 9 (Orchard/River Valley) at $7,500.

According to Savills, Districts 4 and 1 retained their top-tier positions amid continued demand for centrally located homes with lifestyle appeal. District 9 re-entered the top three, overtaking District 2 (Chinatown/Tanjong Pagar), which saw rents fall to $6,000 in Q2 2025.

The Savills report highlighted that overall, median rents for 1-to-5-bedroom non-landed private properties were flat quarter on quarter in Q2 2025. This suggests growing market stability.

Savills also pointed out that despite a marginal softening in Q2, rents remained 1% higher compared to the same quarter last year. The 1- to 3-bedroom segment posted a 1.1% year on year increase, whilst 5-bedroom rents fell 3.9% amidst tenants downsizing to more affordable configurations.
