Hi All,

Wanna get advices and opinions from you guys...

there is a 750 sq ft one-room apartment selling for 280k (do you think it is over priced?)... and the rental is around 1500 per month, the maintanance fee is 21 cents per sq ft, so is around Rm150....

do you think it is a good investment? Riana Green is more than 10 years old and do you think the price will appreciate some more?

for those who know Riana Green Tropicana well, hows the environment and the maintainance? is the surroundings good? if it is not good, i think it wont appreciate much from now....

Will buy only if it's undervalued

At RM1500 rental and purchase price of RM280K

How much is the maintanance fees? Let say 15 cents per sqft, the maintainance fees would be around 112.5.

The yield would be ((1500-112.5)x12/280000)X100% = 6%

There are many more properties that could offer you this yield and the building is less than 10 years.

However, should you like the design so much then it would be totally a different question.

Or unless you anticipate a growth in future due to some reason.

I like Riana Green. being such an old condo, it still looks very nice and well maintained.
though a high density development, i cant really feel it. perhaps, the occupancy rate is not so high?

some say it is spooky during windy nights..even rumors of it being haunted in some areas?

Perfect place to stay .. I like the environment surrounding the area .. the only drawback is that it get very jammed early in the morning (due to the school next to it) ...

for own stay - YES go for it and u'll never regret ..
for investment - i suggest u try other condo ..

I just bought a unit with GRR 7-8% till year 2013 .. and i can foresee the appreciation of that condo too ..

good luck hunting

the price also appreciated significantly lately due to the overall increase of property price of those new launch.

u mean the rental there is not so good?
i got 1 fren wanted to buy to invest at casa tropicana (near riana green)

ur friend buy it for investment or own stay ? My ex use to rent a unit there 2 years back (the one with 2+1) .. the rental is RM1800 and at that time the price for the property still below RM350k (again, depends on the facing and build up size) ... To be honest, the security / management there are quite good .. You can actually watch the CCTV @ the guard house from your home's TV ... But i think now is abit expensive .. a 2+1 unit easily can costs u around
450k or above (that's the price that i get 3 months ago).. If your friend interested, ask him to check with the agent: "Ryan" .. he has most of the units there and quite a nice person too

Now its call IRIANA Green, full off Persian.
Now with the closure of road + chinese school, very teruk jamm.

yes, a lot of middle eastern people there.
with such bad traffic condition, price is still sky high.

even auction 1300sf with reserve price of RM360k.

Since the Iranian give this place a very very bad name, rental is not that high anymore. Many units now are empty. Most Europeans have move out, so too are the airlines staff, especially the gorgeous Japanese flight attendants. So now some owner beh tahan and want to sell.

If you stay at this place, remember to set your alarm clock early so that you can beat the 7am jam! And dun come home before 7.30pm!

BTW A 3 bedroom rental is RM1500 so I dun think your one-room apartment is RM1500.

I bet all of you that say traffic very jam at Riana Green are not staying there. All hearsay only. The fact of the matter is there is a queue going out to Sony/Bandar Utama. Because it is single lane, the queue is long and give impression of very bad jam. I stay around here and I can say that traffic to and from work is excellent. I have seen much worse jam everywhere. All those in Puchong, Subang, the jam is like few miles long and not moving.

Last time no single lane exit, now single lane exit!

There r so much middle eastern sometimes u think u r in Teheran. These buggers eat very late # nite and they like to chillout fr 12 mid onwards n they never discipline their kids n let them run around screaming or play football etc. When you tell them politely, they r usually rude n confrontational. The trouble with these asses r they dont need to work n most of them r here for the long haul on the Malaysia my 2nd Home programme.

oh god. really so bad..
and I was thinking to buy a unit there for own stay. My first impression there was good, polite and educated guards, quiet surroundings etc.

don't know why...it sounds like condos in the whole tropikana area are flooded with them.. try to go to those outlets in Casa Tropkina at nite for a mug of beer..u will see them all!

For condo and apartment it's very easy to get a unit for rental, so why not rent first and stay a while at the place you intend to buy before making a big decision.

Most of the security guards r quite useless, they r afraid to offend the tenants/residents for fear they might complain to the mgt. n they risk losing their job

Losing the contract you meant?

I wonder how long more before the Sony/Bandar Utama access road is resolve? It is very bad when there is flooding at the junction of Persiaran Surian and Jln PJU 3/31.

somehow after they change to 1 way traffic, it takes me even faster to exit! Maybe the 2 way traffic really worsens things. The chinese school area no longer jam up, and coming back after work is smooth sailing taking the BU11 entry. I hope it remains 1 way traffic forever.

dun think dat road's condition will resolve so soon....

Price will appreciate vs new launch.

This post has been edited by blasto: Oct 2 2011, 01:40 AM

any idea on the launching price 10 years back? I see prices now for 1300sf between RM400k ~ RM450k.

I'm currently staying in Riana Green Tropicana, yes it is indeed a cozy place for own stay with the green landscaping and resort feel despite of fact that it is not a new condo.

Yes Iranian tenants are seen in the area and some did create noise, but to be honest, the guards have been performing their job in scolding / stopping whorever disturbing other residents, and to my surprise, every single complain that we lodged to security guard, will be reported with details to management office for further action shall needed.

I think, be fair to the guards, they should earn credit by being performing their job.

bluebell_82 - Hi, would like to know when you moved in? Nice to know you're enjoying your stay here.
Have you visited the Chinese auntie grocery shop? Her pre-packed roasted ground nuts are very fresh.
I like the pastries from the 1st floor bakery.

Someone is selling a 900sq ft unit (2 bedroom) for 350K. What's the going price there?

Hey DarkNite, sorry for late reply, was not checking this thread for a while.

Well, I just moved in early of the year, yeah did visit the grocery shop but never tried the ground nuts! Alright, thanks for the recommendation, will try and see.

price around there. psf price will get slightly lower if you go for larger units.
i say it is a good buy if the unit for sale is nicely furnished.

Added on October 30, 2010, 10:51 pmlooking for 500~800sf studio or 1bedroom.

please PM me if you have any units for sale.

This post has been edited by cranx: Oct 30 2010, 10:51 PM

just viewed some units there, not sure it is coincidence? 符 stick at the main door, in the rooms etc. Is this place really haunted?

2 years ago a pilot took a dive fr his unit.
so i heard

Any idea which block? Most of the area, especially Phase 3 areas are still pretty clean/decent.

Y bro.?
U wan 2 ask 4-ekor ah?

I believe is HR2.

Nope.. been living there quite some time but didnt see the mentioned "fu" and stuff... oh well.. I would have guessed HR1..

The pilot took a dive from the 7th floor hr1, been here in riana for the past 3 years.nice place, courteous people (all turn super aggressive as soon as drive out onto the main road) the school timings (7am, 12.30 6pm) road right in front of the condo turns horrendous

hi can i have agent ryan full name & phone number. i have a unit to rent.

anybody know what is the market price now ?

Hi Seng Leng,

We always receive flyers in our mailbox by property agent, errr currently the price is roughly RM400-450 psf, but that also depends on the unit condition and etc. Some very nicely renovated units can go up to very high price too. It really depends.

small size units,
500sf bank valuation RM200~RM210k, asking price RM250~RM280k.
700sf bank valuation RM280k, asking price RM350k

Hi All,

Anyone bought any lately, just curious?
is it worth buying...
I intend to buy 1st phase coz I heard they going to repaint the building

do you all know how much is the maintenance fees for HR1?

hi period8,
jus wondering, how much is it now..?

am looking for tropicana to buy for own stay. any agent with available units? pls PM me

carpathia, by Tropicana u mean Tropicana City ? OR Riana Green Tropicana ?

Btw, Riana Green is one of the most well maintain property i've seen .. even after so many years, the building still look very well maintain ... the value also appreciate much ....

i'm selling my unit in Casa Tropicana cause i just gotten a new landed property in Setia Alam. Anyone interested, please pm me.

Notice the recent road extension from Sony up to the Chinese school?

Think potential of further increase for the surrounding condos since Tropicana Grande and See Hoy Chan new condos selling like >600psf. Nearly double.

Also Selangor gomen recent announce leasehold only $1000 per yr renewable. So leasehold freehold not much different anymore. (Human perception, if can live beyond 75 yr every yr is a bonus already)

With 4 lanes, going to 1-U will be a breeze. Short drive around Bukit Utama.

Anyone knows how's the take up rate at See Hoy Chan new condos at Bukit Utama? With high tension spaghetti flying right at the window, wonder whether a concern to the property manics? Or all sapu clean?

Bro, have a unit at Casa Trop as well, renting it out now. Which block is yours located? Golf view?

Thinking about getting a house in Setia Alam as well, any recommendations on the area?

I'm at Block A with master bedroom and balcony partial golf view and type D. Whats your type and what is the rental you're getting?

Setia Alam i recommend buying subsale perhaps 20 x 70 at around RM520 - 550k now compared to newly launched at RM668k recently. Luckily i bought mine early last year at only RM420k.

mine is B 1,797 sq ft. renting out at 2.6k

You planning to stay at Setia Alam? For me I am not so sure yet, thinking about getting a landed with DIBS, then only decide a few years later.

Yeah..definately buying for own stay as my unit is 2 room only and originally bought it when i was single but now i'm married with 1 kid and another could be on the way. So not enough room liao

Wow, congrats bro family getting bigger! how much are you planning to let your Casa unit go for? I'm also thinking along the same lines, get a landed first before the price sky rocket too high if not next time not enough living space.

Did you consider any other area beside's Setia Alam? Also why don't you consider renting out the condo instead? quite decent yield.

Never do really like to rent out cause i find it too messy. Moreover, could use the money for reno and other investments. Intend to sell it at RM490k due to the reno i've done and additional carpark i bought at ground floor. It's only 40k more compared to others same bu but bare units.

Well I would love to stay around PJ area but landed here are just too high. At least Setia is a planned township.

Should compare price now

hi all.
intended to buy a unit at riana green for own stay.
anyone has insider news why the strata title is still not out yet?
thanks

Msia ma

Anyways better u buy now before price up another level especially in view developments in surrounding area ie international schools etc

Any idea when international school ready?

1-2 years time, nearby going to have lien hoe mrt and also mrt at tropicana gardens

Anyways like this area as not so concrete as mont Kiara and at same time still have all relevant malls /ammenities

Access will be an issue once tropicana avenue is up...

Tropicana avenue density not high. In fact I prefer the one way system out of RG to BU, 2 way system will result in road infront busier

i stay there for almost 20 years dy. was told it's due to the car park that the strata title is still not out, the management therefore had taken appropriate action.

excellent place to stay, the only concern is the usual morning jam for about 35-40 mins within garden and kayu ara area.

riana green has large ground with large number of units, i like the cascading water pools.. thumbs up for IJM. not sure was there a newly constructed block that VP-ed later than the other blocks? perhaps that caused the delay of issuance of strata title. The low rise units are very nice. the taller blocks at the rear facing the highway can be noisy. overall quite nice environment.

other option is casa tropicana also not bad IMO esp the golf course facing high floor units.

important to check the neighbourhood to ensure you're ok with the crowd there. visit at night ie late friday evening at 11pm .

Heard that a women died after falling down from her balcony..

why 11pm? i heard black students having party there?

Go see or stop by the 7^11 there at weekend night to view environment before commit to a unit.

bought an unit and rented to Australian family early this year.
ang mo loves this place.
consider the price at this location and the condo management . with or without strata title really doesn't matter to me.

Casa tropicana happenin hehe

Can't ask for more vs price

Ang mo like coz like tropical resort

Best use waze

Now everywhere needs waze coz traffic not predictable

the rental good?
i was told this development is flooded with Blackies

Even klcc rental no good le, we r in Msia , u want good rental go to Indo advance payment lagi 1-2 years rent

Blackie in pelangi apartments hehe

I was interested to invest one for rental income. But was told many Iranians, Arab and Blackie there.

Check out latest situation

are we talkint abt casa or riana?

u r right, i think i mixed up case and riana.
so riana mostly local residents?

most owners locals

this is prime area, if u keen u should get one now when market is soft

a few intl schools etc coming up in the vicinity

some units are facing NKVE toll, very annoying.
Must choose the right units. Thanks for your input taikor

Pls checked the review

http://www.propsocial.my/property/27/tropicana/riana-green

about the high number of rude Iranians....

the low rise ones facing the cascading pools , ie away from the NKVE, are ok.

Yes choose facing hill so that don't get evening sun also

Not all Iranians are rude

My good swimming teacher was Iranian and there is a good tennis coach here also Iranian I believe

Block I facing which direction?
10 blocks altogether, very confusing

Best is choose phase 3 high rise

Phase 3 covers which block?

reviving semi old thread. bought a place here a few months ago. gonna do some slight touch up for paint and fix up for plaster ceilings then gonna rent out for a few years before moving in. hope can get good rental i think should be good esp since st joseph is opening this year i think. hmm.

what unit bought and at what price?

bought MR4 block 16XXsqft unit @ RM8XXk. dont think cheap, but dont think its expensive either. but i think boleh lah. so tired of looking around. everywhere so damn expensive now

This post has been edited by panda-man: Apr 6 2016, 02:30 PM

Sorrym MR4? I assume it's the newest block which is the hexagon design high rise is it? OK la for 500p/sf, mana mau cari. Maintenance there is well done.

not the hexagon, thats the highrise. its the medium rise one, but one of the newer ones. facing the highway. . yeah the price i think ok. just buy for future stay, but in the end waifu wanna stay at my other place first. so now gonna rent out.

can stare at keadilan office everyday... damn ugly bright lights... hopefully once the school goes up, tropicana avenue, gardens and MRT all up, value also go up. but i dunno.

i wonder what the rental is like. when buying agent told me not below RM3k. now i dah beli, she told me around RM2.4 or 2.5. i really but love the resort feel and all fully upgraded and painted.

i admired this condo since my school days about 15 years ago. hahahahaha. in the end bought it. meant to be maybe...

This post has been edited by panda-man: Apr 6 2016, 02:36 PM

they have LR, MR and HR.
typically low rise , middle rise and high rise. kekeke.
congrats panda.

only grouses: leasehold and no strata title yet. bummer.

other than that, so far so good lor.

yeah. i did some traffic runs to my office, still seems ok, boleh tahan.
for leasehold i think another 75-80 years. i will be goner by then sooo.... my son can figure it out. the strata title still dunno whats wrong, but happy the loan went through. got rejected by a bank for that. but in the end managed to get.

i was considering this or casa. but moment went into the casa parking lot and hallway to the apartment, already can feel cant compare these two properties. so in the end riana! hopefully got good neighbors. seems mostly locals staying there, so thats always a plus.

Oh I see, yea that is a good unit in terms of the room layouts. I like.

should be 3k above coz so big the size. Maybe rental under pressure in this area and it's surrounding. Too many highrise fighting, and many more VP soon. If can rent out better than nothing. If you want to rent out quickly perhaps 2.5k is a good play if you don't mind, but choose tenant carefully.

wait a min.. umana cari oh 16XX at 8XXk only? you nego very KAW KAW and use jedi power ah? Or it's a BUMI lot?

layout is nice, except just no real place to put dining table which is weird... but love the lanai.

yeah maybe, for me as long as can get someone in there, dont actually care for few hundred. better lose a few thousand a year than a few thousand a month hahaha. must not be greedy im scared to find tenant. my old place tenant is ok. but dirty. i never known such dirty people. rent 2 years never learned to clean anything. almost wanna throw up cleaning the place. fk.


no lah, bumi-lot mah. but looking on propwall seems that price is pretty ok, not that cheap. i also never nego kao kao like that or use jedi power... if ada jedi i mintak free yo!

ah BUMI LOT.. okok got it. LOL

hahahah. but some people said can convert to normal lot, dunno if its true or not. said just need to top up the 7% discount on the initial unit cost from the very first owner or something. i wonder how much that was back then...

I also got a unit there, size 15xxsf. Rental can fetch 3k

Wah nice. Local or Expat? If possible can also share your agent contact?

i rent it to my friend, he sold off his house waiting to migrate to UK. i guess not easy to rent out at 3K now. 2.5K should be OK
