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?

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

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.

Taman Desa is not a bad idea, how much is the range for a condo there? Puchong & USJ is a bit not too convenient for me. I fell in love with USJ 1 Avenue but tat area super jam! HAHA...

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.  smile.gif

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 smile.gif

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?

dsl hse in sd is around 500k depends on which phase.
which part of pj are you working in?? paying the RM1.60 and staying in sd will save u more in the long run.

working in Section 14 smile.gif

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 smile.gif

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.

Ken is nice, and I didn't know Ken is around that price, I thought it's more expensive than that... Okay, will find out about that smile.gif

RM 375 psf sounds ok. Free hold or lease hold? But Kuchai area is a bit over developed. Anyway, no hard visiting. Hope you able to have one property soon.

RM438k might as well u go for the more classy OBD Garden Condo, Taman Desa.

Develop by a Japanese company about 15 years ago. This place is popular amongst the Japanese as it was marketed exclusively to the Japanese expats then. Today the majority of the occupants are still Japanese although you will spot some Caucasians and well heeled locals by the poolside.

OBD is well maintained and security is good. Access to the lift lobby is through a security code only.

Facilities : Swimming pool, tennis court, sauna, Health & Beauty Centre, gym, function room, BBQ pit, cafeteria, nursery, bicycle park, laundrette, mini-market, salon, video rental shop, florist, children’s playground, etc.

QUOTE(RomaNce @ Jul 17 2010, 08:07 PM)
I fully agreed on that. OBD Garden is much more better and worth the price. Although it is not new but location and reputation is there for the value.

I visited Mont Kiara Icon launching today --> RM1100 psf which is around min RM1.21M per unit.....geng but i don't think is worth for investment.
*
I went to visit the show unit yesterday, it was so CROWDED!!! the area is very peaceful and opposite road there are a lot of shop houses, nearby there are some small malls too. I like the convenience of it BUT...

1168 sq. ft is selling at RM469,000... no no no, way out from my budget.

They are only selling Block B now. Block A & C is sold out even before it was launched, heard from buyer that Block A & C was selling at RM384k

planning to have children?
if not, below some cookies for your thought
with the budget, u may get a new 1 (freehold) instead of the 2nd hand (leasehold)

1 living room + 1 bedroom
Studio type (best for couple or for retiree)
taking the lift down to the ground floor will give you all round of shops, from coffee shop to grocery and shopping frenzy.

verve suite, fully furnished (via interior designer), located mont kiara
developer : BKP
sqft : 400++
400k and up

solaris, semi furnished (kitchen kabinet, dry and wet washer)
located, near the govt office at jalan duta, on the way into hartamas.
developer : sunrise (if i remember correctly)
price : 380k and up
600sqft ++

eventhough its small, but it'll definitely give u the quality of satisfaction

I totally love Mont' Kiara but I seriously couldn't afford the units there, as I am looking at at least a 3-bedroom unit. We are planning to get married in another 2 years time and of course, babies is gonna be the next plan smile.gif and for my partner, a study room / home office is needed; therefore we need a 3-bedroom.

really appreciate your recommendation smile.gif
