Astridville at a Glance: Development & Lifestyle Overview
Astridville is a freehold condominium at 28 Jalan Ampang, Singapore 268614, in District 10, just off the tranquil Astrid Hill / Jervois belt and a short drive to Holland Village and Tanglin.[1][8]
Completed in 1985, it is a boutique, low‑rise project of about 18 spacious units spread across 3 storeys, surrounded mainly by landed homes, giving it a very private, residential feel compared to newer high‑density condos.[1][8]
Tenants who choose Astridville usually value:
- Large, family‑sized layouts with generous balconies and living rooms
- A quiet, green environment close to Holland Village but away from weekend crowds
- Fast access by car to Orchard, the CBD and top schools in Bukit Timah
- A more laid‑back, neighbourly community rather than a mega‑condo atmosphere
From my own visits and conversations with residents, evenings here are very peaceful – you mainly hear birds from the surrounding landed streets, rather than traffic from Holland Road.
Available Rental Units: Typical Types & Monthly Rent
Because Astridville is small, rental supply is limited at any given time. Units here are typically large 3‑bedroom apartments around 2,400–2,500 sq ft, usually with 3 bathrooms and helper’s room.[1][8]
Based on 2025–early 2026 District 10 landed‑fringe and boutique condo rents, recent URA transaction patterns and the size of units at Astridville, a realistic monthly rent guide for furnished units is:
- 3-bedroom (≈2,400–2,500 sq ft): around S$7,000 – S$8,500 per month, depending on renovation, furnishing and lease length (estimate based on 2026 D10 family‑sized condo rents; always verify current figures on URA and Homejourney).
Because of the low unit count, it is common to see zero or very few public transactions in any given six‑month window.[2][9] When a unit becomes available, it is often marketed through a few trusted agents and rented quickly if well priced.

Why Tenants Choose Astridville Over Other D10 Rentals
Compared with many newer rent condo options in Tanglin and Holland, Astridville offers:
- Space and privacy: Large floorplates give you a landed‑home feel with condo facilities, ideal for families, remote workers and those who entertain often.
- Quiet yet connected: Tucked off Holland Road on Jalan Ampang, you avoid heavy traffic noise but are still within a short drive of Holland Village and Orchard.[1]
- Good value per square foot: While total rent may be higher than a compact 2‑bedder elsewhere, the rent per sq ft is often competitive for D10, especially for long leases.
- Neighbourhood feel: With only 18 units, you tend to recognise your neighbours – something many expat families appreciate after moving from crowded city apartments.

Facilities & On-Site Features for Residents
Astridville’s facilities are more classic than resort‑style, but they cover most everyday needs.[1][8]
- Swimming pool & wading pool: Suitable for casual laps and kids’ play; weekends are generally quiet compared to big projects.
- Tennis & squash courts: Rare in such a small development; good for families and active tenants.[1]
- Clubhouse / function area: Often used for children’s birthdays and small gatherings (check usage rules with the MCST).
- Playground: Handy for families with younger children.
- Sauna: A classic 1980s condo touch that some long‑term residents still use after evening swims.
- Carpark & 24‑hour security: Surface or basement parking (depending on stack) and round‑the‑clock security coverage.[1]
Pet policies are MCST‑specific. Most older D10 condos allow reasonable pets (e.g. small dogs, cats) provided they do not cause nuisance, but you must:
- Check your tenancy agreement for specific clauses
- Confirm with your landlord and MCST in writing before you move in with pets
For air‑conditioning upkeep – a major comfort factor in older, larger units – factor in quarterly servicing costs. Homejourney can connect you with vetted service providers via Aircon Services so you are not scrambling for help during a breakdown.
Location, Transport & Everyday Lifestyle
Astridville sits in a quiet residential pocket off Holland Road, in the western part of prime District 10, between Tanglin, Holland and the Bukit Timah education belt.[1][8]
Transport & Commute Times
By public transport, Astridville is close to three MRT stations on different lines:[1]
- Holland Village MRT (CC21, Circle Line): about 1.0–1.1 km, roughly 12–15 minutes’ walk or a short bus ride.
- Sixth Avenue MRT (DT7, Downtown Line): about 1.1 km, also about 3–5 minutes by car.[1]
- Tan Kah Kee MRT (DT8, Downtown Line): slightly further but useful for school drop‑offs in Bukit Timah.[1]
Typical commute times by car (off‑peak):
- Orchard Road: about 10 minutes via Holland Road.
- CBD (Raffles Place / Marina Bay): 15–20 minutes via PIE or AYE, depending on route and traffic.
- One‑North / Fusionopolis: around 10–15 minutes.
Do note that Holland Road can get busy during rush hour and on rainy evenings, so build in a buffer for school and office commutes.
Food, Groceries & Daily Necessities
Within a 5–10 minute drive of Astridville, you have most daily conveniences:[1]
- Cold Storage Jelita & Jelita Shopping Centre: nearest full‑sized supermarket; popular with expat families for imported products.[1]
- Guthrie House: mix of eateries, yoga and small shops near Sixth Avenue.[1]

Schools & Family Appeal
District 10 is a long‑time favourite for families because of its proximity to both top local and international schools.[1]
- Primary schools (within short drive): Henry Park Primary, Nanyang Primary, Raffles Girls’ Primary.[1]
- International schools nearby: Hwa Chong International School, several early childhood centres and preschools around Bukit Timah and Holland.[1]
- Healthcare: Clinics at Jelita and Holland Village, and quick access to larger medical centres in Orchard and Bukit Timah.
Nature lovers are also a short drive from the Rail Corridor, Botanic Gardens (UNESCO site) and various park connectors, which many Astridville residents use for weekend jogs and cycling.
Tenant Guide: Lease Terms, Deposits & Key Clauses
Singapore’s private rental norms apply at Astridville, but there are a few practical details worth noting for this development and District 10.
Typical Lease Terms
- Lease length: Most landlords prefer 2‑year leases for Astridville, given the family profile and higher monthly rent. Some may consider 1‑year leases at a slightly higher rent.
- Security deposit: Commonly 2 months’ rent for a 2‑year lease and 1 month for a 1‑year lease, paid upon signing the tenancy agreement (TA).
- Advance rent: Usually 1 month’s rent payable upon TA signing, together with the deposit.
- Minor repair cap: Often S$150–S$300 per incident borne by tenant, above which landlord pays – important for older condos where occasional maintenance is expected.
All private residential tenancies must comply with URA’s minimum rental period (currently at least 3 months for private homes), so short‑term rentals under that threshold are not allowed.CNA Property News
Diplomatic Clause & Expats
For expats relocating to Singapore, a diplomatic clause is critical, especially in the premium D10 rentals bracket:
- Common formulation: Can be exercised after 12 months of a 24‑month lease, with 2 months’ notice, if your employment is terminated or you are transferred out of Singapore.
- Some landlords may require proof (e.g. employer letter) when you activate it.
Negotiate the start month and conditions of your diplomatic clause before you sign. Homejourney’s trusted agents can advise you on what is reasonable for current market conditions: .
What Is Usually Included in the Rent?
At Astridville, a typical tenancy package may include:
- Included: Use of facilities, one or more parking lots (confirm in TA), existing white goods (fridge, washer, dryer), air‑con units, and basic furniture if rented furnished.
- Not included: Utilities (SP Group), internet, pay TV, regular air‑con servicing and minor repairs below the agreed cap.
For budgeting, many Astridville tenants report monthly utility bills (electricity, water, gas) in the range of S$250–S$450 for a family of four in a large 3‑bedroom, depending on air‑con usage. Heavier air‑con use in the living room can push this higher during hotter months.
Pre‑Lease Checklist: What to Check Before You Sign
Because Astridville is an older freehold project, careful inspection matters. Before committing, we recommend the following checks and questions.
Unit Condition & Maintenance
- Air‑conditioning: Test all fan coil units in bedrooms and living room. Ask when they were last chemically serviced and whether any are due for replacement.
- Windows & doors: Check sliding doors to balconies and windows for smooth operation and water tightness, especially facing the pool or open areas.
- Plumbing: Run taps, flush toilets and check under sinks for leaks or damp smells.
- Electrical points: Bring a small device (e.g. phone charger) to test key sockets in living, kitchen and bedrooms.
- Built‑in cabinets & wardrobes: Look for signs of wear, loose hinges or old laminate – discuss repairs or replacements before signing.
Document everything in an inventory and condition report with photos and video on the handover day, and share it with the landlord/agent so there is a clear record for move‑out.
Noise, Privacy & Orientation
Because Astridville is surrounded by landed homes, traffic noise is usually low. However, you should:
- Visit at different times (weekday peak, weekend evenings) to check for neighbour or pool noise.
- Note which bedrooms face the pool vs. the landed estate; some tenants prefer pool‑facing for view, others prefer fully quiet facing.
- Check sun direction – west‑facing balconies can get hot in late afternoon; consider blinds or UV film if sensitive to heat.
