Outlook + Facilities + Car Park + Maintenance Fees | USJ ONE PARK | REGINA |
| 3/5 | 4/5 |
USJ ONE PARK Summary1. Only Glass Roof Covered Drop off Area (No Air-Conditioned Lobby/Waiting Area)
2. A guard sits at the ground floor Lift Lobby, watching CCTVs placed at Lift and Gym Room
3. 3 lifts per block. One of them is the BOMBA lift.
-Don't use BOMBA in the morning, cleaners use BOMBA lift every morning to dispose garbage
4. Inside the lift, you can see the list of defaulters (exceeding RM1,000) not more than 10 people over 160 units per block.
-This is considered healthy already.
5. Top Floor is closed by the management permanently
-Management has received a lot of complaints in regards to people discarding cigarette buds from the roof top.
-I have been there. Nothing special.
6. Swimming Pool is small, to cater 328 units only.
7. Lift Brand is Thyssenkrupp. (same as Setia Walk and KL Eco City).
-It used to breakdown during heavy rain.
-However, after installation of more lighning arrestors to protect the lift. Lift conditions have improved.
-I personally feel that this lift brand is quite sensitive to electrical trips. Maybe it's a fail safe switch to protect the lift motor.
-Brightness of the lift is an issue. Management should replace the light bulbs.
8. Maintenance Fee is around RM275 per month, RM0.22psf.
7. Block A has BBQ area, Gym Room and Multi-Purpose Hall.
8. Block B has Swimming Pool, Playground, and Gym Room (If you are a frequent swimmer, pick Block B. Otherwise, you need to walk from Block A)
9.
USJ ONE PARK BLOCK A AND BLOCK B HAVE UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWS10. Some units come with 2-side-by-side covered parkings, others come with 1-covered parking and 1-uncovered parking
11. 1242sf is going at RM500,000 onwards for sub-sale
REGINA Summary1. Proper Drop off Area, with air-conditioned lobby/waiting area
2. No guard at the ground floor lift lobby (Only CCTV)
3. 3 lifts per block. One of them is the BOMBA lift. Nicer and Brighter lifts than USJ One Park.
4. Slightly better design sky roof (in each block) than USJ One Park. But, nothing special but a few cement stools for smokers.
5. Swimming Pool is
VERY BIG, with the gym room on top of the swimming pool. (p/s. we have to pay RM0.33psf maintenance fee for that)
6. Maintenance Fee is RM0.33psf. It is very expensive for a high rise with 600 units.
7. Management Office here is very good, responsive and expensive!!!
8. Most units here come with tandem parking, front and back (not a big issue as most high rise parkings are designed in this way)
9. Workmanship is above average but the surrounding is shitty. (If you plan to buy, buy units facing pool view)
10. If you are 1050sf, you are definitely facing guard hse/big factory roofs (Roofs are still in good shape), While some are facing Oxidation Pond.
11. If you really really hate the pool view, at least go for the apartment view.
12. 1248sf is going at RM560,000 onwards (shit pond view) and RM610,000 onwards (pool view)
Security | USJ ONE PARK | REGINA |
| 3/5 | 3/5 |
USJ ONE PARK Summary1. Guard House, CCTV, Lift with Access Card Point (WIP).
2. Landed properties rely on intercom system
3. Condominiums rely on call verification from guard hse to verify the visitor.
- Unlike the past (with few break-in cases) where you can spit out whatever unit number to register, the guards will need the owner's verification before the visitor can enter.
REGINA Summary1. Guard House, CCTV, Lift with Access Card Point
2. All rely on intercom system
3. Due to high density of 600 units with majority units rented out, access card duplication is a mess here.
4. When you have college students staying in, you have a lot of traffic flow in and out from the property. You can't do much to have 5/5 Security
