Highest private rents by district
Tanglin tops this table at $6,000 a month, from 4,012 private lease contracts. 30 areas are ranked, on a single 12-month window to September 2026.
The private register only: URA caveats for ordinary private housing, resale, priced on strata area, over one twelve-month window on every district. New sales are excluded, and nothing here is compared with an HDB figure. About four fifths of private caveats can be placed inside a district, against almost all HDB resales, because a caveat is located by its project’s street rather than by its own block.
A median monthly rent across units of every size, not a rate per square foot: a district whose lettings skew large will rank above one whose lettings skew small at the same rent per square foot. This one is not mix-adjusted, and unlike the sale tables it cannot be: the register publishes no unit-size split to restate it at.
