5 Best Pet-Friendly Neighbourhoods In Singapore

Singapore Jul 22, 2022

Are you a paw-rent looking for a new home? Then search no further. These are the best pet-friendly neighbourhoods in Singapore to live in that are filled with paw-some things to do.

Living with a pet comes with many daily responsibilities. Accompanying them on their daily walk or play dates at a nearby park, are just some of the considerations you have to think about before picking a location for your next home. It can get surprisingly hard to find the perfect rental apartment in a neighbourhood that caters to all the needs of a happy and healthy pet.

To cut through the noise (and save you hours of Googling), we've summed up these pet-friendly neighbourhood options for you without compromising on essential lifestyle amenities.

Tiong Bahru Neighbourhood

Being a pet owner doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on your social life or be separated from Fido during the weekends. Especially not when you are living within the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood because there are a plethora of eateries around the area that allow pets to be part of the weekend brunch party or dinner date.

Plus studio apartments are in abundance at Tiong Bahru, making it a great place for those who own pets and not looking to flat share.

Tiong Bahru Bakery / 56 Eng Hoon Street

Delicious pastries and plenty of outdoor seating for you and your furry friend.

Merci Marcel / 56 Eng Hoon Street

Located right next to Tiong Bahru Bakery, enjoy a cuppa Joe or hearty meal with your pupper at the outdoor seating provided.

Flock Cafe / 78 Moh Guan Terrace

From handcrafted paninis to pastas, burgers to freshly baked cakes, your tummy’s in for a treat here.
