Astridville Condo Overview
Astridville is a freehold boutique condominium located at 28 & 28B Jalan Ampang, Singapore 268614, in prime District 10 (Tanglin / Holland / Bukit Timah belt). It was completed in 1985 and comprises just about 18 units, making it one of the rare low-density, family-sized developments in the area.[4][3]
Set within a quiet, tree-lined landed neighbourhood off Queen Astrid Park and Coronation Road West, Astridville offers a calm, residential feel that is noticeably more serene than busier parts of Holland Road.[1][4] As someone who has walked this stretch many times, the difference in traffic noise level is immediately obvious once you turn in from Coronation Road West onto Jalan Ampang: you hear more birds and crickets than cars during most of the day.
Key facts about Astridville:
- Tenure: Freehold residential condominium[4]
- District: D10 – Bukit Timah / Tanglin / Holland
- Address: 28 & 28B Jalan Ampang, Singapore 268614[2][4]
- Completion: Around 1985[4][1]
- Total units: Approx. 18 units (very low-density)[4][3]
- Developer: Villa D’Este Pte Ltd[4]
Because of the low unit count, Astridville tends to have a more intimate, neighbourly feel compared to larger condo projects. Many residents are families, long-term expats, and professionals who value space and privacy over flashy facilities.
Why tenants love living at Astridville
From on-the-ground experience speaking with tenants in this pocket of D10, Astridville is particularly appreciated for:
- Very large unit sizes: Typical units are far bigger than modern condos in the same price band, making it ideal for families and work-from-home setups.[3]
- Quiet, exclusive enclave: Jalan Ampang is a short cul-de-sac with almost no through traffic, set within good-class bungalow kind of surroundings near Queen Astrid Gardens.[3]
- Proximity to Holland Village & Sixth Avenue: You can reach Holland Village and Sixth Avenue within a short drive or bus ride, giving quick access to cafes, supermarkets and dining.[2][6]
- Reputable schools nearby: Popular schools such as Henry Park Primary, Methodist Girls’ School and Nanyang Girls’ High are within short driving distance.
- Mature greenery: Because the project is older and low-rise, the greenery feels more established, with a more laid-back ambience than brand new high-rise towers.

Available Rental Units & Typical Layouts
Because Astridville has only around 18 units, the number of apartments for rent at any time is limited. However, when units do come up, they tend to appeal strongly to tenants who want space and a landed-like environment at a more accessible monthly rent compared to standalone houses in the same locality.[3]
Typical unit types at Astridville
Based on available project data and average built-up ranges in D10 for similar boutique freehold condos, Astridville’s units are typically very large, generally in the 2,000 to 4,000 sq ft range.[3] Exact unit types can vary, but you will commonly see:
- 3-bedroom units: Approx. 2,000–2,400 sq ft, often with a spacious living/dining area, enclosed kitchen, helper’s room and yard.
- 3+1 or 4-bedroom units: Approx. 2,400–3,000+ sq ft, with extra study or family room suitable for work-from-home or kids’ playroom.
- Penthouse / duplex layouts (selected units): Larger layouts upwards of 3,000–4,000 sq ft, sometimes with roof terrace-style outdoor spaces.
The generous floorplates mean each bedroom can comfortably fit a queen bed, and living rooms often accommodate both a large dining table and a full lounge set. Ceilings in older condos also tend to be higher than many newer mass-market projects, so the units feel airy in person.
Most popular configurations among tenants
Among tenants who enquire on Homejourney, the most requested configurations at Astridville are:
- 3-bedroom family units: Favoured by families with 1–2 children who want to be near schools in Bukit Timah, but prefer a quiet, green environment rather than a dense high-rise.
- 4-bedroom or 3+study layouts: Popular with expat families whose companies provide housing budgets and with multi-generational families needing separate spaces for parents and grandparents.
- Larger units for co-living: Occasionally, groups of professionals choose larger layouts to share, though this is subject to URA occupancy rules and landlord consent.

Why Rent at Astridville
Choosing a condo to rent in Singapore is more than just checking the monthly rent. Astridville stands out for tenants because of its combination of space, tranquillity, and access to key lifestyle nodes such as Holland Village, Sixth Avenue, and the Bukit Timah school belt.
Lifestyle benefits
From a day-to-day living perspective, tenants typically highlight these benefits:
- Space for real living: Large living and dining areas make it easy to host friends, set up a play area for kids, or create a dedicated home office.
- Green, landed surroundings: Jalan Ampang is flanked by greenery and low-rise homes, so your daily walks feel more like a landed estate than a dense condo corridor.
- Quick access to lifestyle clusters: You are a short drive from Holland Village’s cafes and restaurants, the Sixth Avenue stretch, and Greenwood Avenue’s dining cluster.
- Ideal for families: Proximity to established schools and parks such as the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (a short drive away) provides a family-friendly setting.
Tenants often mention that moving from a newer but smaller 800–1,000 sq ft apartment to a 2,000+ sq ft Astridville unit significantly improves comfort, especially for those who work from home several days a week.
Convenience & connectivity
While Astridville is not directly on top of an MRT station, it is well-connected by a mix of bus routes and short drives, and many residents use a mix of car, ride-hailing and public transport for daily commuting. Being between Holland Road and Bukit Timah Road, you are strategically placed to head towards the CBD, Orchard, or one-north quickly (more on commute times in the Location section below).
Community atmosphere
In older, low-density developments like Astridville, you are more likely to recognise your neighbours, and many long-term residents treat the common areas almost like shared landed grounds. Because there are so few units, you do not get the crowded lifts and busy pool decks typical of very large projects. Instead, tenants describe an almost “homey” ambience where children play together and neighbours look out for one another.
Value for money in District 10
When you look at rent on a per-square-foot basis, Astridville often offers very competitive value relative to newer, smaller D10 condos. Nearby D10 apartments can command around S$4–S$6+ per sq ft per month, depending on age and finish.[3][7] Given Astridville’s large unit sizes, tenants often end up paying a similar or slightly lower headline rent for significantly more space than in newer but smaller developments.

Rental Prices, Value & Cost Breakdown
Understanding current rental prices is crucial before you commit to any Singapore condo rental. For Astridville, prices reflect its generous unit sizes, freehold tenure and prime D10 address, but they are often more attractive than newer luxury launches in the same area on a per-square-foot basis.
Astridville 2026 rental price range (estimated)
Because Astridville has just 18 units, individual rents can vary depending on renovation level, furnishing and exact layout. Based on recent D10 rental benchmarks for older large-format freehold condos and observed asking rents in similar projects, a reasonable 2026 guide range for Astridville is:
Note: These figures are indicative ranges derived from comparable D10 boutique condo rentals and should be used as a guide only.[3][7] Actual asking rents may be higher or lower depending on market conditions, renovation level, furnishing, and landlord expectations. Homejourney constantly updates rent estimates using live market data from URA rental contracts and on-the-ground agent feedback.
How Astridville compares with nearby developments
In District 10, older large-format condos (2,000+ sq ft) often rent around S$3–S$5 psf per month, depending on age and condition, while newer, smaller premium projects can exceed S$6–S$8 psf.[3][7] Astridville tends to sit at the lower-mid end of this spectrum on a psf basis due to its age, while still benefiting from a prime address.
This means:
- If your priority is maximum space and you are comfortable with an older but well-kept building, Astridville offers strong value.
- If you prefer brand-new finishes and extensive resort-style facilities, a newer D10 condo may be more suitable but at a higher psf rent.

Facilities & Resident Amenities at Astridville
Being a boutique development completed in 1985, Astridville’s facilities are simpler than larger, newer condos, but they are generally sufficient for everyday living in a quiet environment.[4][5]
Core facilities
Facilities at Astridville typically include:
- Swimming pool: A modest-sized pool suitable for leisure swims and children’s play.
- Pool deck / seating area: For lounging or supervising kids.
- Car park: Surface or sheltered parking lots for residents and visitors.
- Basic security measures: Gated access and intercom; some older developments also employ security staff or patrols at peak periods.[5]
As it is a small development, you will not typically find extensive facilities such as multiple tennis courts, a large clubhouse, or childcare centres within the condo itself. Tenants usually rely on nearby parks, private clubs, and gyms in Holland Village or Bukit Timah for additional recreation and fitness options.
BBQ, function rooms & gym
Older boutique condos like Astridville may or may not have dedicated BBQ pits or function rooms. Where available, booking is typically managed either by the managing agent or condominium management office for a small refundable deposit. If having a fully equipped gym or large BBQ pavilion within the condo is critical for you, check the specific listing details on Homejourney and verify with your agent during viewing, as facilities vary between similar-aged projects.
Security features
For most expat and family tenants in Singapore, security is a key concern. While Astridville is in an already low-crime, affluent area, security measures usually include:
- Perimeter fencing and gated vehicular access.
- Intercom or contact point to reach residents.
- Controlled access to common areas.
Homejourney emphasises safety in its listings by verifying development details and only working with licensed agents registered with the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA). We encourage tenants to clarify any security-related questions directly with the managing agent during viewings.
Parking provisions
Given Astridville’s low unit density, residents typically enjoy a good parking ratio. If you have more than one car, check with the landlord and management on additional lot availability and charges. Visitors can usually park within the compound or along nearby roads where URA parking rules allow it, though you should always obey LTA and URA signage.CNA Property News
Pet policies
Whether pets are allowed depends on both the condo by-laws and the individual landlord. In Singapore, AVS (Animal & Veterinary Service) guidelines apply to pet ownership in private condos. Always:
- Disclose your pets upfront to the agent and landlord.
- Check condo by-laws for restrictions (e.g. on dog breeds or size).
- Include pet permission explicitly in your tenancy agreement.

Living in District 10
District 10 is one of Singapore’s most prestigious residential districts, covering Bukit Timah, Holland, Tanglin and parts of Orchard. It is known for:
- Top schools and educational institutions.
- Prime landed estates and low-rise condos.
- Convenient access to the city centre and business nodes.
- Popular lifestyle hubs like Holland Village, Dempsey Hill and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
For tenants, this translates into strong lifestyle convenience, stable neighbourhood quality, and typically good resale and rental resilience for landlords—factors that can also affect how much renovation landlords are willing to invest in their units.
Tenant Guide: Leases, Deposits & Move-In
Singapore’s private rental market is relatively structured, and Astridville tenancies generally follow standard industry practices guided by URA and CEA frameworks. As a tenant, understanding these norms helps you negotiate and sign with confidence.
Typical lease terms at Astridville
Most leases at Astridville follow these broad norms:
- Lease duration: Commonly 2 years; some landlords may consider 1-year leases at a slightly higher rent or with less negotiation flexibility.
- Security deposit: Typically 1 month’s rent for a 1-year lease, or 2 months’ rent for a 2-year lease, payable upon signing the tenancy agreement.
- Advance rent: Usually 1 month’s rent in advance, payable before key collection.
- Diplomatic clause: Often included for leases of 2 years or longer, allowing expat tenants to terminate early after 12 months plus notice (commonly 2 months) if their employment or posting ends.
Exact terms may differ between landlords, so always review the tenancy agreement carefully and clarify any unclear clauses with your agent or legal advisor.
What to check before signing a tenancy
To protect your interests and make full use of Homejourney’s safety-focused approach, consider this checklist:
- Verify landlord and agent identity: Ensure your agent is CEA-registered and that you are dealing with the rightful owner or appointed representative.
- Inspect the unit thoroughly: Check aircon, water pressure, electrical points, doors/windows, appliances and any signs of water leakage or pest issues.
- Clarify repair responsibilities: Confirm the minor repair cap and who pays for appliance servicing or replacement.
- Confirm inclusions: List all furniture, appliances and fittings clearly in the inventory list.
- Align on renovation / touch-ups: Agree on any repainting, cleaning or repair works to be done before move-in, and have them written into the tenancy agreement.
Homejourney encourages tenants to document the unit’s condition with time-stamped photos or videos at handover. This helps avoid disputes during handover at the end of the lease.
Move-in process & practical tips
After signing and paying the deposit and first month’s rent, the sequence usually looks like this:
- Key collection & inventory check: Meet your agent or landlord at the unit to receive keys, access devices and review the inventory list.
- Utilities account setup: Open or transfer your SP Group utilities account (online or at SP service centres) before moving in.
- Internet activation: Arrange broadband installation a few days before move-in where possible.
- Renovation / minor works (if agreed): Ensure any promised touch-ups are complete before your furniture arrives.
- Move-in booking: Check if the condo requires a move-in application or booking of lift access; older boutique condos like Astridville may have simpler procedures but always confirm with management.
Because Astridville is low-density with fewer residents moving in and out, the logistics of move-in tend to be more relaxed compared to massive developments, but you should still coordinate with management to avoid clashes and ensure parking and access for your movers.
