Yes, there is surely something disadvantages of this condo if not the price won;t be that low.  From my point of views below are some of the good and bad points on top of wat bluesfingers stated

Good Points for Armanee Condo
1) There are 5 blocks for phase 2 (not sure when will it launch), 3 blocks will be mirror image of the current phase1 and 2 more blocks behind the clubhouse. If they launch it surely the price will go up. example Armanee Terrace 2

2) Current price is still not more than 20-30% of developer price means further upside rather then downside

3) Plenty of carparks and decent security(cannot be compared to Desa Park City hehehe)

4) The current JMC are quite active in improving the management and security of Armanee

5) Urban park nearby, which means no more development on the hill beside the condo
Bad Points for Armanee Condo
1) Single exit which means traffic jam every morning. With the upcoming Sutera Damansara the traffic will be horrible

2) Low occupancy means maintenance of the condo might be impacted.

3) Leasehold (to me is ok)

4) developed by MKLAND. Bad reputation even blacklisted by banks

5) Single entrance for visitors and resident.

6) There is a small orang asli cemetery nearby

These are some of the points i find out during my recent research on the place

hi Santafe,

Its only hot in the morning but a curtain will do the trick. Swimming pool and other facilities are getting better. No complaint there.

There are few africans staying in armanee and they are ok. Yes, there are more staying in the neighboorhood area. So far didnt hear they caused any trouble....

This is a very nice place to stay actually...

Hi William..Any nearby shops around Armanee? Have plan to open Dobi/Laundry shop there? Anything to share?

The price now is around ~420k for non-furnished intermediate units. Heard a few units have termites, but i would say minimal.

Some recent updates:
- There is dobi service now
- Occupancy rate ~80%
- Entrance has been upgraded to 2 lanes.
- Basement carpark installed with barrier gate (req access card)
- More cctv installed.

Hi ryws, Thanks for the reply, but regarding ur recent updates saying that the entrance become 2 lanes meaning is the lane at guard house there 1 is residence another is visitor? previously is not 2 lanes?

Another is basement carpark installed with barrier gate which require access card for residence to go in car park and exit from car park?? I think i just visit this condo last week and been to the basement car park, but can go in without using access card.

I might be interested to sell at 330K Block A.  anyone?

wat is the price now. anyone can advice.

I used to stay here as my dad bought the unit during my studying time.
If I'm not mistaken it's around 270K per unit
I think I'm the first batch staying there with very minimal ppl that time. Kindda scary tho at nite since I'm staying alone.. LOL 

I like it there because it have few units on each block/level i.e not that crowded. Very quiet and peaceful and privacy as well. Parking is totally not a problem as they have huge amount of visitors parking. Pool and clubhouse kindda nice too.

I moved out when I finished my studies and work at Cyberjaya. Currently my sister and her family stay there. So far not that much issue. Just the the house been break in once and all valueable items gone i.e jeweleries, laptops/computers. 

When we checked the cctv, found out that the resident itself break into the house. But we cant find who is the person. Ended up nothing as mgmt also didnt do anything. So my sister just install the alarm system for now.

Hurmm.. what I can say there's pro n cons of this armanee condo. 

It can happen every where but guess what we don't have "awang hitam" in this condo        and its still worth buying due to the landscape and almost olympic size pool ( more than one) , hill top view and breeze. I have travelled quite abit around the worl but yet to come across a value for money purchase for duplex condo at this price. Furthermore so close to MRT and KTM Sg buloh, just abt 1.2 km.
I am sure you will miss the peaceful environment and the 17acre urban park (just for Armaneeans).

Yup true!. I didnt see any foreigners (awang hitam) stayed in armanee. More on professional/families. Once a while I'll visit my sister at armanee. Kindda miss the peaceful and privacy environment.

Did you noticed that the highest level actually have some extra roof that covers the balcony but now they removed it. There's one time a strong strom/wind and all the roof falls down. LOL. To be safe they decided to removed it.

Hi guys, just came accross this column not long ago and am a newbie here. Just bought one unit recently. Personally, I consider its value for money considering the facilities, the environment and the condo in general. Prior to the purchase, I have been to many other locations from single storey terrace to double storey terrace to condominiums from Kepong to Sri Putramas. Have viewed many units in Armanee with price ranging from a bare unit at RM400K to RM585K for a furnished and renovated unit. Considering the developer's price, the appreciation is still small compared to other properties. The setback as rightly pointed in this forum is the access and exit has been confined to one road which is also used by some other apartments located along the same road and residents of Damansara Sutera as well. However, the pros are more leading to our decision to live there.

yes, arrangement being made to remove rest of it. better be safe.

The JMC at Armanee is strong and so is the management. Most people staying here are owners.

Everyone plays an active role to keep the place safe and as secure as possible. Also the cafes and restaurants serve nice food with multiple choices, all would be delivered to your door steps. Its just like a little Balinese resort town. If you don't want you don't have to leave Armanee for days....since all amenities are inside.

Sorry to say - the HTC and low cost flats that those units are facing in the photo are an eyesore, otherwise the view is great.
