1. Development Overview: What Living at Changi Grove Feels Like
Changi Grove is a low-density landed development along Jalan Mariam, within District 17 (Changi, Loyang), surrounded by other landed homes and pockets of mature greenery. The area feels distinctly quieter than central Singapore: you wake up to birdsong more often than construction noise, yet you are only a short drive from major employment hubs like Changi Airport and Changi Business Park.
From a tenant’s perspective, the key lifestyle draws are:
- Space and privacy – larger internal floor areas and multi-level layouts compared to typical condo units in the East.
- Family-friendly streets – quieter, low-traffic roads around Jalan Mariam that feel safe for evening walks and cycling.
- Green surroundings – easy access to coastal parks and nature spots in Changi and Loyang, ideal for joggers and pet owners.
- Close-knit community feel – many long-time residents and families, giving the area a stable, neighbourhood atmosphere.
While Changi Grove is not a high-rise condo with extensive shared facilities, many units are modernised with private gardens, car porches and generous living areas, attracting families and expats who prefer a landed-home experience at a more accessible monthly rent than central districts.
2. Available Rental Units & Typical Monthly Rent (2026)
As of 2026, Changi Grove for rent listings on Homejourney typically feature larger landed units (terrace or semi-detached style) rather than compact apartments. These suit tenants who value space, home offices and multi-generational living.
2.1 Common Unit Types for Rent
- 3-bedroom landed units – often with maid’s room or study; suitable for young families or couples planning for children.
- 4–5 bedroom multi-storey units – popular with larger families, co-living among professionals, or expat households with helpers.
- Occasional 2-bedroom configurations – rarer, but sometimes available when owners reconfigure floors for rental.

3. Why Rent at Changi Grove: Lifestyle & Value
Compared with many Singapore condo rental options in more central districts, Changi Grove offers strong value for tenants who prioritise size, serenity and proximity to the airport or eastern business hubs.
- For expats in aviation & logistics – being within a short drive of Changi Airport, Airline House and airfreight/logistics hubs drastically cuts commute time and taxi fares.
- For families – landed-style living with space for children, helpers and visiting relatives, often at a similar price to mid-sized condos closer to town.
- For work-from-home professionals – multiple rooms to carve out proper home offices, plus quieter surroundings and easy access to seaside parks during breaks.
In terms of value for money, you typically get:
- More built-up area per dollar of rent compared to many D15/D16 condos.
- Private car porch/parking and potentially a garden or patio.
- A calmer environment, yet still near retail and food options in Loyang, Pasir Ris and Changi Village.

4. Facilities, Security & Everyday Convenience
As a landed development, Changi Grove does not offer the full suite of condo facilities like a large pool or sky gym, but tenants still enjoy key practical advantages.
4.1 Security & Parking
- Private car porches in most units, often accommodating one or two cars – a major plus for car-owning families and expats.
- Neighbourhood vigilance – Jalan Mariam and the surrounding landed enclave are generally low-crime and quiet, supported by Singapore’s overall strong safety record (Singapore Police Force statistics).
- Some units may include CCTV or alarm systems; always confirm security features during viewings.
4.2 Maintenance & Comfort
Because these are landed properties, landlords and tenants share responsibility for certain maintenance items differently than in condos:
- Tenants are usually responsible for minor repairs up to a specified amount per incident (commonly S$150–S$300; check your Tenancy Agreement).
- Air-conditioning servicing is often borne by tenants every 3–4 months; you can manage this easily via Homejourney’s curated providers at Aircon Services .
- Garden, roof and façade upkeep may remain the landlord’s responsibility; clarify in advance to avoid disputes.
Homejourney emphasises clear, written agreements and verified listing information so tenants know exactly what is included before committing.
5. Location & Connectivity: Getting Around from Changi Grove
Changi Grove sits within the Changi–Loyang–Pasir Ris belt, accessible primarily by road. If you drive or frequently use ride-hailing, the location is especially convenient.
5.1 Commute Times (Approximate)
- Changi Airport: about 10–15 minutes by car, depending on traffic.
- Changi Business Park / Singapore Expo: roughly 15–20 minutes’ drive.
- Paya Lebar / PLQ: about 20–25 minutes via PIE or ECP, off-peak.
- CBD (Raffles Place / Marina Bay): around 25–35 minutes by car off-peak; longer during rush hour.
- Orchard Road: approximately 30–35 minutes via PIE/CTE in typical conditions.
These times are estimates; always use LTA-endorsed apps or navigation tools to confirm live traffic before critical commutes.
5.2 MRT & Bus Connectivity
Changi Grove is not directly beside an MRT station, which is important for tenants to note. However, you can connect fairly quickly by bus or short drive:
- Pasir Ris MRT (East-West Line) – a short drive or bus ride; also the gateway to Downtown East and White Sands shopping.
- Tampines East / Upper Changi MRT (Downtown Line) – reachable by bus or car, offering a direct Downtown Line route to the city.
- Changi Airport MRT – convenient for airport staff; accessible by car, taxi or bus interchanges nearby.
Bus services in the Loyang/Changi area connect to Tampines, Pasir Ris and the city, but if you are fully car-free and prefer door-step MRT access, you should factor in extra time for first/last mile travel.
6. Nearby Amenities: Daily Living, Food & Recreation
