Superlink is usually build on a bigger plot size then a link house. I think it's more for marketing term as some developers still call their house a superlink while the plot size is quite small.

Terrace house is same as link house.

Superlink usually has a wider width than the typical standard of 22x75 of a link house. However not always the case, as seen in Kinrara Residence whereby they call their 3 storey Superlinks even though the foot print is still a 22x75.

well, the difference between a so called 'superlink' and a link house can often be vague, but i think the difference between a link and a terrace is obvious.

link houses are still connected in a row, but you can clearly see that the houses are built like siamese twins. Normally their roof will look something like
"low - low - high - high - low - low - high - high - low" with the high representing houses (one on left, one on right).

terrace houses on the other hand normally mean just that - a row of houses bookended by an end lot and a corner lot.

iinm anyways.

If it's an intermediate with a full wall to wall frontage of 36' then by all considerations it should be a superlink. But a lot depends on whether your phase was launched as a superlink series or yours just happened to be a odd unit with extra wide frontage in a row of normal 22x80 links for instance. In the past there were some odd tapered units right at the bend of roads with wider frontage but it tapers narrower towards the rear. Seen some of those in OUG.

Where's your prop in Puchong anyway, cos the only other superlinks i've seen with such wide frontage is in Bdr Kinrara BK6B with 34'x80' 5+1r5b 3100 sf builtup which i thought to be the widest.

Nowadays with rising land costs, most superlinks are no wider than a normal link with 22'x75' but squeezed up to 3 storeys for bigger built ups like MS Kinrara Residence recent launch.

Kinrara Residence cannot called Superlink, Superlink refers to width - anything more than 22' - i.e - Kinrara BK6B 26x80, 28x80, 30x80, 40x80, Esplanad 24x85 Jalil Sutera 23x80, Putra Heights 24x75. Those houses in Mutiara Puchong 22x80 is not Superlink but super "long" may be
While link house it refers to the gap between the 2 rows of houses (back) is only 10ft, 99% of the new development are link house now (to maximise land usage) , if car can pass by, it means has at least 20ft wide road which is called terrace i.e Kinrara Desiran is terrace, Sentosa, Melodi, Hening, Sapphire all are link

I would like to agree with u but try telling MS stalwarts that their KR 3 storey links are not superlinks & u'd prolly draw a lot of flak, having paid 938k for it!! heh heh

Btw for your info Kinrara BK6B only has 24x80, 24x80+10, 29x80, 29x80+10 & 34x80. And their superlinks has a 20ft backlane that a car can pass thru. I'd buy this any given day than MS l/h play.

Nowadays the super in superlinks has been watered down to mean anything with 3 storeys or a bigger builtup, it used to mean anything bigger than 22ft as u've said.

Terrace : Same shape & look except for corner unit with gap between back to back house > car width
Link house: A B A B shape with width of the hse <22 ft
SuperLink: Hse width >22 ft

Thanks

Half of your statement is right but, if u focus on width it is call superwide (24X70), or if you focus on long it is superlong (22X80), actually superlink is any link house (the 2 houses with the roof looked like combine into one) that is bigger than standard 22X70, the standard size is 22X70.

So anything that have bigger in buildup more than 22X70 can be called superlink, example 24x70, or 22X80 also superlink.

in the past a 24X80 link house was small because semi d and bungalows were much bigger like 60X100 or bigger. nowadays 20X70 link house also considered big size because sacrifice car porch for build up area and not cheap. so to differentiate bigger sizes marketers add the word super.

nowadays got tiny semi d and bungalows also, not much bigger than super link so the name start to make more sense although essentially it is a link house.

BK7 Rimbun 1 20 x 70 is considered superlink by agents (1961 BU) -.- I think recent superlinks would include Sime Darby's Putra Heights' house and iirc, Cyberjaya superlinks.

A bungalow sounds better than a detached.

A semi d sounds better than a half bungalow/detached.

in the old days people used to have gardens and entertain outdoors, house parties meant bbq, satay, caterer and tables and chairs outside.

this was common before aircon was popular, at night outside is cooler.

nowadays people tile up the garden, turn on the aircon and enjoy big living room and dry kitchen.

i still prefer big porch because can park more cars, very important for bigger families. wide is better than long though long has advantage like distance from road.

also one problem with short porch is when upstairs you cant really see who is downstairs at the gate, long porch no problem.

Agreed with what you said. The reason why houses that are facing other houses are not as hot as the ones facing an empty space/ side of another corner house etc, to increase the amount of parking spaces whenever someone happens to visit.
