Homejourney Editorial
Astridville for rent is an excellent option if you are looking for a spacious, low-density condo home in District 10’s Bukit Timah / Tanglin–Holland enclave, just off Jalan Ampang and near Holland Village.
In this definitive Homejourney guide, you will find everything you need to know as a tenant: unit types, current monthly rent ranges, facilities, transport links, nearby schools, typical lease terms, and practical tips from a local’s perspective so you can decide whether Astridville should be your next home.
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:
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.
From on-the-ground experience speaking with tenants in this pocket of D10, Astridville is particularly appreciated for:

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]
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:
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.

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.
From a day-to-day living perspective, tenants typically highlight these benefits:
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.
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).
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.
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.

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.
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:
| Unit Type (Estimated) | Approx. Size | Typical Monthly Rent (2026) | Approx. Rent per Sq Ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-bedroom | 2,000–2,400 sq ft | S$6,500 – S$8,000 | ~S$3.00 – S$3.60 psf |
| 3+study / 4-bedroom | 2,400–3,000 sq ft | S$7,500 – S$9,500 | ~S$3.00 – S$3.40 psf |
| Large / penthouse-style units | 3,000–4,000 sq ft | S$9,000 – S$12,000 | ~S$2.80 – S$3.20 psf |
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.
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.

To help you budget realistically, here is a simple guide to typical monthly running costs for a family renting a 3- or 4-bedroom unit at Astridville:
| Cost Item | Frequency | Estimated Amount (S$) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utilities (electricity, water, gas) | Monthly | 250 – 450 | Higher if aircon runs heavily and family size is larger |
| Internet / broadband | Monthly | 40 – 80 | Depends on speed and provider |
| Aircon servicing | Quarterly | 240 – 360 per year | Approx. S$80–S$120 per visit for multi-split |
| Minor repairs (average) | As needed | 50 – 100 | Budget per month as a buffer, depending on unit age |
These are broad estimates based on typical Singapore household usage; your actual cost will depend on lifestyle, family size and how often you run the aircon.
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]
Facilities at Astridville typically include:
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.
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.
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:
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.
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
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:
