Hi Stewart

There's a whole range of options when it comes to real estate in Singapore. As a rule of thumb, like other places, the trendier, neighbourhoods close to the centre of the city are more expensive than the suburban outskirts.

In terms of cost-effective and family friendly, the West of Singapore is a good bet, but it is close to the harbour which can be noisy and, if you get too close, smelly.

The central area is a bit more costly, but it's very popular with expats and there's a nice variety, so I'm sure you'd find something suitable for your doggie.

For a bit more in-depth info, have a look at our accommodation in Singapore and Areas and Suburbs in Singapore pages if you haven't already.

Best of luck
