D'Sunrise Rental Prices and Market Trends at a Glance
If you are considering D'Sunrise for rent, you can expect 2 to 3-bedroom units at Joo Chiat Lane in District 15 to command an estimated monthly rent of around $4,200 to $5,200 in 2026, depending on size, level, condition and furnishings. This sits comfortably within the broader D15 rentals range for boutique condos in the East Coast / Marine Parade area, with strong demand from expats and young professionals who want a heritage-meets-lifestyle address close to the city.
This focused guide is part of Homejourney’s broader East Coast and District 15 rental pillar, helping tenants and investors understand Singapore condo rental trends project by project so you can make confident, safe decisions backed by transparent data and on-the-ground experience.
Development Overview: Living at D'Sunrise on Joo Chiat Lane
D'Sunrise is a low-density private condominium tucked along Joo Chiat Lane, in the heart of the East Coast and Marine Parade lifestyle belt. The estate is surrounded by conserved shophouses, Peranakan eateries, and cafes that locals frequent on weekends, while still being a short drive to the CBD via the ECP and Nicoll Highway.
From my own visits to Joo Chiat Lane, the immediate surroundings feel more like a charming neighbourhood street than a typical main-road condo frontage. You get that quieter, residential vibe, especially in the evenings, even though you are just a few minutes’ walk to the buzzier portions of Joo Chiat Road and East Coast Road. This is a key reason many long-term tenants remain in the area.
D'Sunrise is a boutique development, so you do not get overcrowded common areas or massive blocks overshadowing one another. Residents here tend to be a mix of small families, couples and expats who value privacy, a homely environment, and easy access to food and amenities around Katong and Marine Parade.

Available Rental Units at D'Sunrise (2026)
Homejourney’s live data for Joo Chiat Lane rentals shows D'Sunrise units appearing within the typical East Coast boutique condo bracket, with a recent 2-bedroom unit (about 851 sq ft) listed around $4,800 per month on Homejourney’s Joo Chiat Lane page.[3] This aligns with historic evidence that 3-bedroom units of roughly 800–900 sq ft at D'Sunrise have transacted in the $3,800–$4,500 monthly range in recent years, with a gradual upward trend in line with District 15 rents.[1]
Based on 2024–2025 D15 rental movements for similar non-landed properties in the East Coast / Marine Parade area[2], and adjusting for the continued resilience of city-fringe rents, a realistic working range for D'Sunrise in early 2026 is:
- 2-bedroom units (approx. 800–900 sq ft): about $4,200 – $4,900 per month
- 3-bedroom units (approx. 850–900 sq ft): about $4,500 – $5,200 per month
Final asking rents depend on floor level, renovation, facing, furniture, lease length, and whether utilities and Wi-Fi are included. Always confirm the current asking and recently transacted rents with your Homejourney consultant before committing.

Why Tenants Choose to Rent at D'Sunrise
Tenants who shortlist D'Sunrise are usually comparing it against other D15 rentals around Katong, Joo Chiat, and Marine Parade. From experience speaking with tenants and agents active in the area, these are the key reasons D'Sunrise often makes the final cut:
- Boutique, low-density living: Fewer units mean a quieter environment and better privacy compared to larger mega-condos along main roads.
- Authentic Joo Chiat lifestyle: You are steps from local institutions like traditional coffee shops, Peranakan bakeries and supper spots that stay open late, yet off the main traffic noise.
- Good connectivity: East Coast and Marine Parade are well-linked to the city by bus and major expressways; with the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) gradually opening, connectivity will further improve according to LTA’s rail development plans.[2]
- Flexible layouts: 2 and 3-bedroom configurations work well for couples, young families and flat-shares, with efficient use of space typical of older boutique condos.
From a value standpoint, D'Sunrise can be competitive when you compare per-square-foot rent against some newer, larger condominiums in D15, especially if you value space and privacy over having very extensive facilities.
D'Sunrise Rental Prices, Value & Cost Breakdown
When assessing D'Sunrise Rental Prices and Market Trends, it helps to break costs into three main components: base rent, recurring monthly costs, and one-off move-in costs.
1. Base Monthly Rent
As noted, 2026 base rents at D'Sunrise are estimated around the mid-$4,000s for most configurations, with some premium units nudging above $5,000 depending on condition. Compared with nearby District 15 condos of similar age and size, this is broadly in line with URA-wide rental trends for non-landed properties in city-fringe regions.[2]
2. Recurring Monthly Costs
On top of the base rent, tenants should budget for:
- Utilities (SP Group): For a 2–3 bedroom condo with regular aircon use, many D15 households typically report about $150–$250 per month, varying by usage and number of occupants.
- Internet & mobile: Fibre broadband plans in Singapore usually start from around $40–$60 per month with major telcos.
- Aircon servicing: Regular servicing every 3 months is often required in tenancy agreements. This may cost around $100–$150 per visit, depending on the number of units. Homejourney’s curated partners can help with trusted options: Aircon Services .
3. One-Off Move-in Costs
For most private condo rentals in Singapore, typical upfront costs are:
- Security deposit: Commonly one month’s rent for a 12-month lease or two months for a 24-month lease (subject to agreement).
- Advance rental: Usually one month’s rent payable in advance.
- Stamp duty: Payable to IRAS, typically borne by the tenant for residential leases. The current formula is based on the total rent payable for the lease term; your Homejourney agent can calculate the amount precisely.
Homejourney strongly recommends that all payments are documented via proper tenancy agreements and receipts, in line with IRAS and CEA guidelines, to protect both tenant and landlord.
Facilities & Living Experience at D'Sunrise
As a boutique condo, D'Sunrise offers a more intimate set of facilities compared with mega projects, but still covers the essentials many tenants look for. While specific facilities may vary slightly by block, tenants can generally expect features such as a small pool, basic outdoor areas, and secure entrance systems, consistent with non-landed residential developments in similar D15 projects.[9]
Key aspects to consider when viewing a unit:
- Swimming pool: Useful for families with young children or adults who enjoy a quick evening swim without having to leave the condo.
- Security: Look out for gated access, intercom systems, and CCTV in common areas. Most D15 boutique condos provide at least basic security features; ask the agent to explain how visitor access is managed.
- Parking: Car park lots are usually within the development. Confirm whether a lot is included in the rent and whether visitor parking is readily available.
- Pet policies: Rules can vary by landlord and by MCST. If you have pets, raise this early and request written confirmation in the tenancy agreement.
Because D'Sunrise is smaller, shared facilities tend to be less crowded, which many long-term tenants prefer over noisy, high-traffic pool decks.
Location, Transport & Lifestyle in District 15
D'Sunrise sits within the Joo Chiat / Katong precinct, a well-established lifestyle district recognised by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) for its conservation areas and cultural significance.[2] The area blends heritage shophouses, modern eateries and proximity to East Coast Park, making it especially attractive to expats and locals who prioritise liveability and character.
Transport & Commute Times
From Joo Chiat Lane, tenants typically use a combination of buses and the upcoming TEL East Coast stations, or drive via major expressways:
- To CBD (Raffles Place / Marina Bay): About 15–20 minutes by car via ECP in light traffic. By public transport, around 30–40 minutes depending on connections.
- To Orchard Road: Around 20 minutes by car; 35–40 minutes by bus and MRT.
- To Changi Airport: Typically 15–20 minutes by car via ECP.
Nearest MRT access points include the East-West Line (Paya Lebar or Eunos) today, with future Thomson-East Coast Line stations further enhancing rail options once fully operational, as indicated in LTA’s rail corridor plans.[2]
Food, Groceries & Daily Conveniences
Living at D'Sunrise puts you within a short walk to numerous cafes, bakeries and eateries along Joo Chiat Road and East Coast Road. As a local, the convenience of grabbing late-night supper from nearby coffee shops or having brunch at popular Katong cafes without driving is a huge quality-of-life upgrade.
- Groceries: FairPrice, Cold Storage and other supermarkets are available at nearby malls like Parkway Parade and i12 Katong, usually within a 5–10 minute drive or a short bus ride.
- Daily necessities: Convenience stores, pharmacies and clinics line East Coast Road and Marine Parade Central, so basic errands can often be done on foot or with a quick bus trip.
For recreation, East Coast Park is a key draw, offering cycling paths, BBQ pits and seaside dining. Many Joo Chiat residents cycle or jog there in the early mornings or evenings.
Tenant Guide: Lease Terms & What to Check
To protect your interests when renting at D'Sunrise, it is important to understand typical Singapore private rental practices and key clauses in your tenancy agreement.
Typical Lease Terms & Deposits
- Lease duration: Most D'Sunrise leases are 1–2 years. Shorter leases (e.g. 6 months) may be harder to secure or priced higher.
- Security deposit: Commonly one month’s rent for 12 months, two months for 24 months, held against damages or breaches.
- Diplomatic clause: Frequently requested by expat tenants for leases of 2 years or more, allowing early termination after a minimum occupation period (often 12 months) if the tenant is transferred or loses employment. Terms should be clearly written and mutually agreed.
What to Check Before Signing
Before you commit to a D'Sunrise unit, Homejourney recommends a thorough viewing and documentation process:
- Inspect the unit carefully: Check aircon, water pressure, windows, built-in appliances, wardrobes and flooring. Note any defects in a pre-handover checklist with photo evidence.
- Clarify inclusions: Confirm which furniture and appliances are included and ensure they are listed in the inventory (e.g. washer, dryer, fridge, beds, sofa).
- Review maintenance responsibilities: Understand who pays for minor repairs (often tenants for items below an agreed amount) and how frequently aircon servicing is required.
- Confirm MCST rules: Ask about house rules such as renovation timings, pet allowances, common area usage, and visitor restrictions.
Homejourney emphasises safe, transparent transactions. If you are unsure about any clause, seek advice from a licensed agent or legal professional before signing.
Nearby Amenities: Schools, Healthcare & Malls
One of the strengths of renting in District 15 is the breadth of nearby amenities that support family and expat living.
- Schools: The East Coast / Marine Parade area is within convenient reach of several local primary and secondary schools, as well as international education options accessible via short commutes. Families should check the latest MOE school allocation and distance guidelines when considering proximity.
- Healthcare: GP clinics are scattered across Joo Chiat and Katong, with larger medical facilities and hospitals accessible via short drives toward the city or Bedok.
- Shopping malls: Parkway Parade remains a major retail hub for District 15, complemented by malls like i12 Katong and smaller lifestyle clusters along East Coast Road.
- Parks & recreation: East Coast Park is the main outdoor attraction, while community centres and sports facilities in Marine Parade offer additional options for fitness and classes.
