Relocating to Singapore with children involves far more than finding a place to sleep; it's about securing a home where your family can live well, feel safe, and grow roots in a new country. At Red Dot Relocation, we help expat families navigate this journey with local insight and tailored support.

This guide presents our updated list of Singapore’s most family-friendly condominiums, based on our experience supporting international families with school-aged children.

1. Tanglin Park – Tanglin

Tanglin Park is a perennial favourite among expat families for good reason. This low-rise, low-density condo offers spacious units, lush gardens, and a serene, community-oriented feel — all within close reach of Orchard Road and Dempsey Hill. It’s ideal for families who want centrality without the chaos. Many long-term expats choose Tanglin Park for its established neighbourly vibe, where children make fast friends and families feel settled.

What Makes a Condo Family-Friendly?

When evaluating condos for expat families, we look beyond price and proximity. A truly family-friendly condo typically offers:

  • Safe outdoor areas, playgrounds, and child-specific pools

  • Proximity to reputable international schools and preschools

  • Spacious units (3–4 bedrooms), often with a helper's room

  • A sense of community among residents

  • Access to green spaces, malls, parks, and weekend activities
