has the prices gone up now?

Someone told me that the apt price in FD has been increased.

The Block F and H are cleaner. The main selling point are the location and view from high floor. Been there a few time, have a budget of 140K to 180K, still looking.

my frd unit balcony facing the lake damm scenic.

I am looking for my first investment apartment and Flora Damansara is one of my target.Last weekend have been there to see the place.Road entrance a little bit messed up due to lorries in and out to site in that area.No security at all, anybody can enter easily but inside got a lot of shop at ground floor of the blocks.

When i google, got few issues regarding this property and now i'm deeply thinking whether to go ahead or back off.

any recommendation on which block is better? what floor do u have to be to get the scenic lake view?

But now not very scenic i guess..saw some construction related activites at the lake.

Anybody staying there currently? cause I was thinking of living there but... I'm really not sure of how safe the place is.

I have a unit in block H, my son is staying there. He work in Subang and sometime in Sungai Besi, he like the place. It is quite safe with 'Jaga' do their round on every floor a few times a day and CCTV in all five of the lifts and lobby too.

I have asked a few residents, 'Jaga' and the cleaning lady about the place before buying a unit there. According to the 'Jaga', break-in sometime do happen but only in lower floor (did not ask about other block cos only interested in Block F & H). This block is cleaner and much peaceful compare to other blocks.

My neighbor is a lovely educated retired couple from Perak, who just want to stay a few days (empty unit of their daughter). That was two or three years ago, they are still staying there. They love the hill view and the cool and windy air.

My unit is facing the LDP and Bukit Lanjan. Morning is bright but not very hot and at night the view is just great ( KLCC, Damansara town and Firework during festive season). At this moment there is no need of the aircon as most of the time it is quite windy and cooling especially at night. My son rented out two of the smaller rooms for Rm400 and Rm300. He got tenants for both of the rooms within a month.

My unit comes with a covered parking lot. Though parking lot is limited but I always manage to park my car at the gust parking lot whenever I was there. Do not simply park your car or else the 'jaga' will clamp the car! The JMC is getting better at managing the place. They take action at those who did not pay their fee or water bill accordingly.

I believe with the current JMC, the place will get better. Hopefully by year end the swimming pool and others facilities are repaired and can be enjoyed by all the resident. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks! That helped a lot! I was also wondering I heard the place gets a lil doggy at night? Is it true? I've only been there during the day.

You are welcome. Why don't you go there at night, maybe a few nights for dinner or supper ?

There are a few makan shops (mamak & malay), 7 eleven, a few sundry shops and mini market, a few dobi, hardware store, workshop, car wash, clinic, unisex saloon, electrical repair shop, ......

Better get unit facing hill and have car park... if facing block E, pukul 3 pagi ada orang baling mercun on festival season or in fasting month...kena ada parking because hard to get open parking...renovate your house to put small water tank( like old apartment/flat/condo )...

Hi. Can you share how to renovate this and the cost? Thanks.

Why need to put small tank? Always face water supply disruption?

because management always cut supply?

As i said, the management will clamp the water meter only of those did not pay their water bill. My son is staying at the top most floor and never experience any water shortage yet.

As for installing extra water tank, I think it is a good idea. But it will be even better if you add a booster pump. If DIY, it will cost less than Rm650.

the paradise view.
how much his house costed?

What you guys think of the future of Flora Damansara? Will it worth to invest here?

Bought a unit at Block H a few months ago. Rent out two of the smaller room for RM700. Saw a few advertisements in iproperty and mudah today, the price now up by average of 5% to 10% ( for high floor unit in block H).


Gain : Return of investment +5%, can occupied the master bedroom for less than RM300 (just pay for electric, water, unifi & maintenance fee) and appreciation of property (10% per year? )


Lose : ............. still thinking

Read somewhere in the other forum stated that construction is going on next to Flora Damansara. The same developer of Empire Shopping mall in subang going to build a condo there. Is that true?
