The Downtown line was actually announced all the way back in 2005 to be the fifth MRT line to be introduced into Singapore’s MRT network.
Certainly makes you feel old, doesn’t it?
With the Downtown line, residents in the Bukit Timah area can now take a train all the way to the East and more importantly, get to areas like Bugis, CBD, and Chinatown without having to change train.
It’s no wonder that any of the condominiums that were situated near any of the Downtown line stations have appreciated in value and have been popular with renters.
So if you are looking for a condo near MRT for rent, here are all the best condos near each Downtown line MRT station compiled for you!

Some considerations to keep in mind:
We looked at the average 2 bedroom unit in each development.
So depending on how new the development is, the sizes ranged from 600 sqft to 1,300 sqft.
Basically the newer the development, the smaller the unit will be.
So that is it for the best condo near MRT for rent (Downtown line edition)!
