Relocating from Hong Kong to Singapore brings excitement—and a few logistical challenges. Here's how to make the transition smoother:
With small apartment sizes the norm, offloading household items into self storage is smart. Lock+Store Singapore operates 14 CCTV‑monitored facilities in Singapore. Units range from small lockers to 190 ft² spaces, available from one month to a year, with 24/7 secure access, free use of trolleys ad ladders, and ample parking space. Their storage specialists can guide you to the right unit based on your needs. Submit a quotation request here.
Singapore rents are high, and apartments are compact. Popular expat areas include Tanjong Rhu, Siglap, Wessex Estate and Bukit Timah —each offering different vibes and transport links. For example, Wessex Estate at Portsdown Road is close to Tanglin Trust School. Think serviced apartments if you want flexibility, or standard condominiums if you prefer to stay somewhere longer. Great World Residences offers pet-friendly serviced apartments.
Hop on the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system which takes you to most places in Singapore. ST Residences offers a great guide to Singapore's public transport system here.
Singapore offers many international school options. Expat Living Singapore provides an excellent summary, featuring insights from expat parents to guide your decision. The selection of curriculums is extensive, including single-country programs, the International Baccalaureate, and the International Primary Curriculum. This compilation of international schools in Singapore also showcases a variety of multicultural settings, with students hailing from numerous backgrounds and nations.
Picking the right mover gives you an excellent headstart in your relocation plans. For large items, coordinate with movers experienced in Hong Kong to Singapore relocations, namely, Crown and Santa Fe. Use Lock+Store as a temporary staging ground—store, assess, or donate items that don’t fit your new apartment.
