Upper Bukit Timah Rent Prices in Singapore 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
With a median price of S$46/m², this area firmly earns its BOUGIE status. You are paying a premium for the 'green lungs' proximity, yet the wide range in m² stats reflects the stark difference between cramped new-builds and aging, spacious walk-ups near Beauty World. Our investment outlook suggests prices will hold steady because the supply of private housing here is capped by strict zoning and the surrounding forest.
The Vibe:It is the land of low-rise condos and sprawling greenery where residents prioritize trail runs over late-night clubbing. You are boxed in by the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Downtown Line, which finally ended the era of being trapped in transit-starved isolation. The crowd consists of high-earning expats and locals who want the prestige of the 'Bukit Timah' name without the Orchard Road congestion.
The median rent price in Upper Bukit Timah, Singapore is S$46 per m² per month, 6% below the Singapore city average of S$49/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.
