Anyone staying in Menara D'sara? Any comment?
This is a 10 year old condo...if the unit is 1130sf, selling price is RM200k, is it worthy?

nono...

200? little bit on the high side
many for sale at 180

it can sell cheap due to "something" fell from the high before... go there ask you will know....

agree with money queen...

Oops...really? When is it? It's an accident or suicide???

Today I went to see a unit there. Quite a high floor... it was also a rather peaceful drive to the condo (well maintained roads, mature trees).

The unit apparently had nobody living there for a period of time... the owner decided to become a Singaporean PR that's why s/he wanted to sell it... but this certain unit has been on the market for FOUR MONTHS.

I asked the agent about the possibility of any 'inauspicious' events, taking a cue from MoneyQueen's statement lah. The agent said that nothing of that sort has happened lor?? She said there has never been any sui____des lah.

Is she not telling the truth then? MoneyQueen, how did you know about this 'incident' of something falling down from above? From a firsthand encounter or heard it all from the people there?

I am curious because this condo is within my price range and it seems rather decent lor....

Anyone have anymore trivia/info about Menara D'sara?

Thanks in advance

I have thought of purchasing the condo at menara damansara too. Also thought of Paradesa Rustica and Tropica. But I have to wait till my house is sold then I can make a decision. But I am still looking around at Sri Damansara. Honestly there are not many to choose. Unless you want to go for the low cost apartment or walk-up apartment.

"Something fell". If a suicide happen before, I think it should'nt stop us from buying. There are many condos or apartment who had accident happen. If something from the external building fell, then we have to consider carefully.

In the mean time, I will also survey from ppl around about this condo.

Thanks

I have asked a resident there who is cousin to my gf.
She doesn't know there is such incident happened there before.

Dear friend,

I don't think agent will 100% honest to you. Some more, many agents are young boys and girls only...

I did not experience that firsthand, I just know it was a male swimming trainer @ the condo...

I went there and check... the block in front of the + junction with traffic lights is really noisy....

The block facing the junction still have many empty lots... so no worries you can't find....

Again, someone here mention a good thing...

Regardless anything fell down from high, if you think it is cheap price.... just buy lo...

But bear in mind....

1) The building is over 10 years
2) Any lift change, will cost between 150k-300k per lift.... so share minimum cost.... say one family pay 5-10k????
3) Inspection for the safety of the building over 10 years? This is what might happen soon... and the cost to enforce the foundation of the tall building might cost 10-30k for each unit....

I just share opinions only...

you can accept or not...

ok???

Thanks for these tips.

I am only starting to get into the property scene... my aim is to purchase a medium-cost place and well it seems VERY HARD to find something below 200k with a freehold status and a rather decent quiet area so near PJ/Damansara. Our family is currently in a low cost flat so anything seems 'much better' than whatever condition we were in... but not knowing much about high-rise living, I wouldn't have taken into account things like lift maintenance and foundation reinforcement works!

My mother didn't feel good in the unit I viewed... she claimed it was in too much of a terrible state (even though I have told her there is such a thing as 'renovations'...but well..... need to find other options now lor....

Do you recommend other condo in Bandar Sri Damansara which below 300k?

Hi.. I'm a owner from Menara D'sara... Bought a unit here 2 years ago...
I searched around PJ and sri damansara area for almost a year before I decided to purchase the current unit that I'm staying now... No regret so far

Basically I like the mature township here in bandar sri damansara (on the bandar sri damansra golf club side), and most importantly this area is solely for residential purpose only... Not many heavy vehicles running around... and the road condition is well maintained.... Amenities are adequate here... Mc D, Domino, banks, pos office, schools etc.... there's a police station next to it.....


I would say the facilities here are relatively well maintained for a 10 years old condo.... the external paint of the condo is still in good condition, and it looks nice at night with the lighting.. Density here is very low, total units is only 400 something if not mistaken.... The community here is not complex due to low density... mostly owned or tenanted by well educated people.... cozy, queit and it's a good choice to own one to stay.... I think it should fetch more than its current market price now.... noticed some units are available for sales from 170k to 210k, depending on the size of the units... which is not much appreciation compared to the initial launch after so many years ... not sure why.... Anyway, do see some gradual move recently... some are letting go at 175k to 180k compared to 155k to 160k 2-3 years ago...

i am considering menara sri damansara...
any comment?
is the place easy to rent out?

thanks.

dun think rental is quite high...
basically, dunno enough to cover installments or not..
depending on how much u gonna put in for ur deposit...
