    Is this a school assignment/project?

    Just call any property agent. If you are a boy, you can call a chio agent. if you are a girl, you can call a hunk agent.

    A shoebox apartment is a very small apartment in which there is no place to put shoes. Shoes must be placed outside the apartment. I know it sounds ironic but apartments are housing units that are not apart and detached houses that are not detached from the next house. That is why shoebox apartment is thus named.

    In Singapore's context it is generally defined as an apartment of less than 500sqft. Pricing varies from 3xxk to over a million, depends on location.

    In today's context 3xxk are very hard to come by, the last project that I know of in this price range was PARC RRosewood @ Woodlands in Jan 2012...

    Ive been there! Stayed in a king harbour room with hubz, the little one & mil. We chose the bed & breakfast package for 3 adults. Check in & out was a breeze.

    i feel often people buy shoebox unit for investment... Imagine a 700sf versus a 400sf 1 bedroom shoebox unit, the price will be among double based on psf. However, rental often not much difference. Try asking another $500 because the unit is a 300sf bigger in size? The shoebox unit master room often pretty decent size. can fit a queen size bed.

    The Shoebox unit often can have rental yield of about 4%. Orchard typical unit now is about 2.x%. Commercial property however, often give best rental yield of more than 5%.
