They can be found across Singapore, in neighbourhoods such as Sembawang, Seletar, Tanglin, and Changi.
They derive their name from the characteristic combination of dark timber beams and whitewashed walls. To preserve the heritage of these colonial houses, changes to the look and feel of these bungalows are not allowed. These bungalows are typically tenanted on two- or three-year terms. The rental prices are influenced by market conditions, and it is not advisable to compare them with the rental price of a private good class bungalow in different time periods, said the minister.

As of June 2022, the occupancy rates for larger black-and-white bungalows are lower than those for smaller black-and-white bungalows,” Mr Shanmugam said last year.
