Taman Esplanad is better than Jalil Sutera. Kinrara Residence is at a different segment, it offers club house facilities, 22'x75' is not a superlink, whether we like or not, this is the trend

1. Land tenure :  Esplanad + Jalil Sutera (Freehold) win
2. Locality (Accessibility) : Esplanad + JS win
3. Security : JS + Kin Res win
4. Concept - Kinrara Residence win
5. House design (facade + layout) : Kin Res win
6. Road 50ft : Esplanad + Kin Res win
7. Ceiling height 11 ft : Esplanad + Kin Res win
8. Density : Esplanad win (Esplanad 7.95 units/acre / JS 16 units/acre / Kin Res 14.66 units / acre)
9. Building quality : Kin Res win (KR apply Singapore CONQUAS standard)
10. Amenities (near LRT/schools/shops) : Esplanad win
11. Land area : Esplanad win (Esplanad 2040sf / JS 1840sf / Kin Res 1650sf)
12. Floor area : Kin Res win (Kin Res 3317sf / Esplanad 3180sf / JS 3038sf)

In summary : Choose whatever you like, I think future appreciation is about 50:50 for all 3 areas

lifestyle or not lifestyle who determine ?? is their clubhouse going to make you feel that your lifestyle has upgrade ? as far as i know there is alot of gated community which is the same as MS. So one clubhouse makes a difference ?? Anytime bukit jalil club has more facilities than only the clubhouse.

this is just their stupid marketing plan. lifesytle developer is self proclaim by MS. Somemore, it is just a 2S or 21/2S we are talkng about. What lifestyle there is ?

Its not that you are staying in a SD or bungalow ...

To digress, since most of you can accept the leasehold condition, have you considered Sutera Jalil, especially those who missed out the KR purchase and is banging their head? Prices starts from RM550k.
...

yoki, check the map, see the future, when Qaseh complete, roads to Sirim is direct, KR is in fact located nearer to Bkt Jalil latitudinally, if Ho Hup Malton's JV 60 acres Jalil City become reality (which I think is a matter of time), KR or Kinrara will be hot hot hot!

2 Main things make Kinrar hot :-
1. LDP Jam
2. Chinese schools
Kinrara become popular last year because LDP jam has reached it's peak, many Puteri residents have moved out to Kinrara, Bkt Jalil or Sri Petaling to stay, some more Chinese schools make big big different, Puchong has 4 Chinese schools only, 2 in Kinrara 2 in Bdt Bkt Puchong, the kids fr rest of remaining Taman(s) have to enroll their kids to PJ school, with the new Lai Meng school set up 2014 in Jalil, Kinrara / KR will go even higher, wait and see

how far will lai meng be from KR?
