Reasonable Rent for 3BR in D12

[propertyguru]

Was wondering what people think would be a reasonable rent for a 3BR apartment in the Ah Hood neighbourhood? No facilities, not particularly near MRT (but five minutes bus ride to either Novena or Toa Payoh MRT stations). Sparsely furnished, but unit is quite spacious - about 1600 sf.

Competing developments are The Arte (which has facilities and is newer), but probably smaller unit for same number of bedrooms, maybe Citrine (which has a pool), and any of the condos across the expressway in Toa Payoh.

I am thinking I should be able to get at least $3,000. Would be grateful for any views. Thanks.

$3k probably can only pay for 2 bedder only....

Huge supply in the area, and my place is not considered near the MRT station and has no facilities, hence my apprehension about too high an asking price. There are not only older apartments like mine, but also newer condos like The Arte. In addition, there're some old HDB flats in Ah Hood so anybody looking for a place will be spoilt for choice.

I think my only advantage is that the unit is pretty spacious, with three bedrooms and minimal wastage (very small balconies).
