If still got developer units for non luxury condo...need to think twice before purchase

where is the IJM project? got link for info?

i heard about the land belong to IJM since 2008... until today no development.

Thanks guys. Went to check out villa makmur..
Dont really like the fact that it is at the end of the road where the few apartments before it seem to have insufficient parking lots, hence all the cars parked all along the road..

Will need to do more survey now >.<

end of the road will be anggunpuri. After villa makmur still got duta ria, mesra terrace, the seehoychan project 4got the name french school and anggun puri if i`m not mistaken

If this is a hot property and at RM 180 K they had made their money and common sense tell me why I will let go at price lower than market rate ?

Yeah, I saw the others but i think i went from the other direction?
Cos i was on the road where solaris dutamas was on my right and kensington homes on my left and then we took a left turn after hartamas regency and another left where we passed changkat kiara, the angguns then only reached mesra terrace and villa makmur. So i was coming from the other direction right?

That means there's actually another way to villa makmur? Is that actually closer to the main road then? Sorry ya, really not famiiliar with the area at all

I thought there is only one way in and one way out? Are we referring to the same road? As I know villa makmur and mesra should be on your right, follow by duta ria and anggun puri on your left? 

ermmm....... haha.. let's start again...

when i went, mesra terrace and villa makmur were on my right, and i reached mesra terrace before reaching villa makmur..

means i was coming from another way??

ya, a little higher than I thought.
the thing is people want new, bbb euphoria, developers become bold,
for own stay, i will also go for for older units in mk at about 400-450psf or <300psf in dutamasraya.
the thing about condo is once they are >5yrs old, they all start to look the same!!

Sorry all, I wasn't active for so long in this thread...

I'm now staying at Villa Makmur. Let me share with you all why I bought this condo instead of Prima Duta / Menara Duta or other condo alongside of Jalan Dutamas Raya.

a) I prefer low density condo, Changkat view is good but very noisy & high density... it is located just beside the highway.

b) management is not bad.. no doubt the car park a bit cacat (water leaking), but overall other facilities are maintaining well.

c) Ya, the road in front of Villa Makmur is the widest road along Dutamas Raya, and I manage to exit my condo easily... cox it's not the end like anggun puri, have to stuck in traffic; neither on the opposite side where i need to make right turn...

d) location is strategic.. it can easily access to jln kuching, jln duta... i manage to reach office in KL within 20~30 minutes in the morning...

e) This condo is surrounding by a school, landed semi-D (mesra terrace), and in front of this condo is still empty - not sure what will it be, hope it's not another condo )... hence, i don't have anything to block my balcony view... my balcony is very windy...

f) as compared to Segambut Dalam, Jalan Dutamas Raya has plenty of roads to exit... that's why i chose Villa Makmur instead of Casa Kiara / Rosvilla

negative views:
a) management fees is a bit expensive compare to other condos nearby.... (but again it's due to low density,  no choice )

b) car park a bit cacat, water leakage problem... (until now also haven't resolved)

c) I agree that the condo has insufficient lights.... it looks a bit dark sometimes... >> i wonder why mgmt office is so kedekut..

d) lift design is lousy, no access control to the lift (access card or etc)... unlike Menjalara 18 (the lift is superb nice) / rosvilla (biometric devices - finger print access )

e) In the morning, i can hear the students singing negaraku... but not a big deal to me, the voice is soft and only appears once per day (weekdays only).. >>> i always use this as my natural alarm clock

f) It is still under master title.... not strata title...
Again, this condo is located at Segambut, not Mont Kiara / Solaris / Dutamas  ---> cox in fact, the condo's master title address is indeed Segambut address.... even though the ppl likes to use: Jalan Dutamas Raya, KL. (hide the word Segambut)

sad to hear that.... I was told by other ppl that IJM will build landed property instead of high rise condo....
let's wait and see

anyway, Verdana is bloody hell expensive!!!
