I am looking around for new property, preferably around areas like Sri Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Damansara, etc... A lot of friends are recommending places that are outskirt, which is not my preference.

I work in PJ & partner works in Old Klang Road, families are all in PJ area therefore it will be good to be around. We are actually not ready to move in now, that's why we do not mind considering on new properties which are still in progress.

Any recommendations?

Landed property or condo/apartment?

Taman Desa a lot if u talk about condo, as for terrace ur budget either u get very old house in OUG or u can search for houses in Puchong or USJ.

errrmm ... SOHO scott at old klang road

I believe with my budget, landed property is kinda hard to find. Condo is fine with me

if you do not mind getting second hand property, there are a lot of old housed in PJ that you can get for less than 400k. But you need to spend a bit more money for renovation.

With your requirement, I think location is more important. Which means secondhand houses.

Desa Villa will be something around your range, another 1 will be Desa Permai come with 2 parking as well, look out for subsale as new hot one all sold off left the one not so good.

Actually if u are in Puchong IOI area like Puchong Jaya, Puchong Wawasan or Bandar Puteri, they are very near to PJ, barely 15 minutes drive down there.

Okay, THANKS A LOT! will definitely consider Desa but not Puchong, yeah it's not far but can't stand the jam during peak hours

Just some queries:
- First time property buyer?
- Are you buying the property for living or investment?

For long term living.

I bought a double-storey house but shared with my brother, for my parents. Now I personally want to get one for myself, for future so I guess it's consider first time buyer?

Your recommendation?

I just passed by MAS KIARA (opposite Kiara Condo) in Tamun Tun this morning, I used to think the condo looks abandoned back then but now that they are back working on the building progress, they actually are done with the entrance / guard house, looks quite impressive.

Any advice / rough pricing of Mas Kiara?

Sri damansara, no more new project.. RM400k you can try search for landed Property around that area, but mostly price hikes to RM500k+

if ur family in PJ, better you can PJ area, to avoid paying RM1.60 toll from SD

i'm actually cool with paying RM1.60 for the toll, as I've been doing so since secondary time (of course my parents paid back then, haha), I'm used to it now

staying in kepong are, most tings are generally cheaper. paying rm1.60 toll per day save u hundreds per month on other stuff.

You can look for condo at SS2 like those *Ken* or tropics also around 400K. Maybe Millenium also around that range. If going for better condo, Monk Kiara Bayu also around 400k, which u can use highway to travel to Section 14. The Condo near to Kelana Jaya Giant (green color) also not bad. What about Crimson and Suria Damansara also within your budget.

Another area yoiu may consider is, if you don't mind LH and subsales, Condo in Tropikana area (casa indah 1 & 2, casa tropikana) is about 400-450K now in the subsales market..

crimson and suria damansara is cheap but not so high class.
and what is the name of that 'green color' condo?

hmm, people if 400K could get a 2nd property, where would be your recommendation? kuchai lama? cheras?

Taman Desa better compare to Kuchai Lama.
