dear all,

i am new in this forum and would like to share certain things on the purchase of Park Avenue Apartment.

I have made a downpayment for a unit on 12 Dec 2009.

Basically, if you are talking about the location, yes agreed that it's within the Malay settlement, you can see mat rempit at night and yes, that they dont adhere to rules, they don't wear helmet and you can even see a motorcycle with 4 people riding on it. I am staying nearby too, in taman buana perdana. Maybe i'd get used to the environment there (even though sometimes i really want to curse them when they don't even know how to use signal when they want to turn into another junction) just be a little bit more careful when driving, expect the unexpected like suddenly a motorbike come out from one junction.

Other than surrounded by malay settlement, the place seems to have good accessibility. You can go to KL without paying any toll and if you want to go to Sunway area, you can utilise the short cut. Of course, if you are not paying, please expect that you need to waste "time" to compensate that.

I have made a booking on M type facing the field (facing east) at lower floor (but not too low). I have survey the area before making up my mind to make the downpayment, i went to the site and observe the surrounding area. No comment on the mining land or etc because in KL, tell me which area is not ex-mining land??

Some point to ponder why people are buying more on Tower 2 compared to Tower 1 are listed as below;

1) Tower 1 - one side is facing swimming pool, the other side is facing main road. Most of the purchaser will choose to face the swimming pool rather than main road reason being

a) better view, balcony facing east (thus getting the morning sun and not evening sun - bet how hot it was to have the evening sun direct to your balcony, you can even place a chair to enjoy the evening ray). But please remember that you should only purchase upper unit as unit near swimming pool is very noisy but if you dont mind the noise, buy the one same level with the swimming pool...hahaha.

b) not many people buying those facing main road - this is the portion still available as mentioned by other forumers. Other than the dust and noise contributed by the main road....do you all notice that it's actually facing the sewerage tanks? And, you will have "nice" smell when the wind start to blow. No offence but it's true. Tower 1 act as a buffer for Tower 2. To put salt into wound, the balcony is facing west, mean it will be very hot during evening time.


2) Tower 2

a) As mentioned above, if you want to have a unit facing swimming pool, you must opt for Tower one to avoid the direct evening sun ray. If you choose Tower 2, then be ready to accept that your unit will have the evening sun. To avoid the evening sun, the only thing you can do is to choose a lower unit because Tower 1 will be blocking the direct sun for lower unit but the disadvantage is you "enjoy" the noise from the swimming pool if you are at lower level.

b) If you are facing open park, it can be consider as a good buy as you can predict that in front of you, there predicted developement which is another 3 block of apartment, if you are in upper floor, can see the swimming pool as well + greenery (park). Plus point, it's facing east, so it's only morning sun and no afternoon sun.


However, looking at the high density, 3 lifts servicing 14 units per floor and there's 17 level, the probability for breakdown is high. so, opting for a lower unit will be feasible, but do not choose the unit in ground as you need to install grill (another cost incurred) 1st floor and second floor is too near the ground and you will notice noise from the passing by vehicle. Further, there's a landing slab on 2nd floor, easy for people to climb in. Opt for unit at level 3 and above, and it will be save from noise and it would not be so hectic to climb the stair of 3 level when the lift breakdown.

If you were thinking to purchase, buy now because new block launching will have even higher density, further, the swimming pool is shared by 3 blocks compared to the current 2 blocks.

I know there's a lot of investor here and i understand that normally, the higher the condo, the greater value it possess but please think again, few year down the road....the lift might not be in good conditions. At that time, promote you lower unit saying that it's more reliable than to be in high up there.

Tired typing...if you all still want me tabulate the calculation from the developer, let me know....if not, dowan to waste you all time.

20percent appreciation?
One can compare this project with Sri Jati or Zamrud Apartments. The going rental rate there around rm850-rm950.

Was seriously thinking to go for 850sq feet. then decided against it, condos built by peter there, not going up, depreciating, bad condition.
Expected rental cant cover installment as well for this project.

you or lueng1 at http://www.realestate.net.my/forum/viewtop...da01c6838d4df8e who is lying?
