Choose
from bungalows (also known as detached houses), semi-detached
houses, or terrace houses. Bungalows enjoy the luxury
of being an independent building on a plot of land that
runs round it and have the most privacy. Semi-detached
houses are a pair of houses that share one common wall.
Terrace units are a row of houses that have common walls
with those in the middle known as intermediate terraces,
and those at the end known as corner terraces.

Houses.
These
so called "black-and-white" houses, named after
their colour scheme of white walls and black wood exteriors,
Tudor in style are remnants of the colonial era. These
houses vary in size from single-storey to two-storey buildings,
often come with a generous plot of grassy land perfect
for kids and pets, and are very popular with the expat
community

The
shop houses with their unique Straits Chinese flavour
are fast gaining popularity among expats (and locals!).
They typically have a beautiful façade with wooden
shutters and doors, while the interior often comes with
an air well, spiral staircase, high ceilings for greater
ventilation, timber flooring and a backyard.
