Thanks for the info.. My budget is around 400-450k, hence landed would not be my priority..what's your opinion towards mont kiara/hartamas as compared to tmn desa?

i also thinking of buying a unit in desa villa for my own stay but donno whether it's a good buy..

mont kiara n hartamas morning traffic is lil bit jam according to my Uncle that stay there, quite a happening place i think. To me I still prefer Bandar Puteri Puchong , maybe u like to have a look at the Aseana Puteri, nothing to shout about the workmanship but the enviroment to me is not bad, everything within 5 minutes drive whether you want to do karaoke,shopping i.e Giant,TescoJusco,eating i.e Papa Rich,Old Town Coffee, Shabu Shabu, Bibi Wok, mamak stall, chinese food, Sushi King, 1 Cafe, bakery,electrical shop are plenty or even play badminton...

take a look at this one maybe not sure whether you will like it :

Puchong is not my liking.. What's ur view towards PINES@Mont Kiara and hartamas regency? Both of these are recommended by one of the agents.

me don't like Mont Kiara ma, tats why i stay in Bandar Puteri

Sorry can't offer you any view becos donno much about that area. Maybe u can think about Mutiara Damansara, very nice place to stay.

tohsan ur stying at the condo u mention ar?

nola, i stay in Puteri 6 2 storey.

oh i thought ur in that condo just now... hahaha! like puchong area as well but currently checking out taman desa first as i'm working in klcc... if puchng far woooo

hey what a coincident.. I'm working in klcc as well hence tmn desa would be my first choice Have u contacted any agents or viewed any units?

not yet la sandy. hehehe.. now oevresea working ma... so just scrolling thru some forum to see which area is good plus my budget is not as big as yurs..

I used to stay in Faber Ria, Taman Desa also,security wise not bad only the facility is bit outdated. I rented out my unit to a Japs family for 3 years advance payment of rent.

Actually its not really tat far, my office in Ampang, everyday i travel via Kesas Highway, the most i take is 30 minutes travel only to reach Ampang.

bro not jam ka in the morning to work?i mean from puchong la... heheeh! wow.. advanced payment 3 years? rich woooo..

Hi, no worries.

Any chance u want to consider landed?

tats what most people think and never borther to go and check, morning goto work sure the traffic is slow becos most folks will be driving around 60-80km/h, u see a lot of cars but those cars are really moving unlike USJ u see most car just stop n wait along Jalan Kewajipan Traffic Light area.

The best thing is that the time that I reach Kesas highway around 6.50am you can have the whole highway for yourself, 15 minutes thats all you need to reach Ampang.

Actually its a matter of good luck, the Kobayashi family insist about it so I don't mind, but I promise to them I will sent people to do housekeeping for them every 2 weeks f.o.c. They are happy about it. This is not in the tenancy agreement.

salute to u bro... impressive! so any recommendation on which condo around taman desa is the best to buy? for own stay la...

If your budget is around 400-450k & prefer a condo, maybe you can try Merc Residence, Bukit Desa side.

Pros - New, low den & good furnishing
Cons - Location not as good as OBD & near high tension cable (same as OBD)

There is also Saville but I think it is over 500k now. They should be handing over the keys soon.

I think for own stay i will choose OBD

i've done my research also regarding OBD and many prefer that side too... donno why but the properties there quite pricey... don't u think so?
