Reservoir Grove

Families relocating to the East want space, greenery and schools without an Orchard rent, and Reservoir Grove delivers all three. Overlooking Bedok Reservoir, this three-bedroom is genuinely sized for a household — three real bedrooms, a living-dining that takes a family table, and a balcony that looks onto water rather than the next block.

It comes partially furnished, which most family tenants prefer because it leaves room for their own things, and the development is the quiet, low-density sort with a big pool and lawns the kids actually use. Bedok Reservoir MRT and the East-side schools are close, and Changi, the expressways and the city are all an easy drive.

At this rent it's a lot of home for the money compared with the city fringe, which is why East-side family tenants take it quickly. We can hold a viewing this week and have the tenancy, inventory and handover sorted cleanly before move-in.
