QUOTE(shroom @ Jan 14 2011, 07:37 PM) Once I was also looking for a condo in Mont Kiara for own stay but after some research decided against it. If you have decided on buying a condo on Kiara 3, just bear in mind of the traffic during school hours which could get pretty bad. Lanai Kiara is ok, one of the more affordable in MK, but make sure the unit is far from the freeway. Also, I was told that in future there will be a LRT line cutting across that area and maybe close to Lanai Kiara. (don't know how accurate this piece of news is) If indeed true then it could be good for investment but not sure for own stay. Have you looked at Laman Suria? Also quite affordable and managed by Sunrise. I have viewed a unit here before and indeed the maintenance is quite top notch. Mostly occupied by owners. Good luck and hope you find your dream home. Hi, thank you for you advise. Can't agree more with the noise from the sprint hw . Went for 2nd viewing in the morning and the noise was indeed noticeable although the balcany is not direcctly facing the hw . The unit offered was quite old, definitely need to spend a lot to renovate. so in the end i decided not to buy. i hv looked at laman suria as well, can't agree more with you on the maintenance. alomost put down deposit. But my family pointed out that the rooms, especially the second bedroom is damp, think not healthy to live in there? Agent told me all the units in Laman suria have the same problem, because the second rooms don't get sunlight and air circulation not too good so still looking

Bought a unit in Casa Kiara along Jln Kiara 3 from the developer. Now waiting for the keys to be handed over once the bank is processed. Previously viewed several condo units along Jln Kiara 3 and Jln Kiara 1, but finally settled for Casa Kiara because it's a new unit held on by the developer while the rest are pretty old and the renovations and built-ins are outdated. My personal view is that Vista Kiara may have some units offered at below market prices but there are some aspects that I dislike of that condo. I stay away from MK Bayu due to certain well known incidents that have happened there in the past.

Thanks.

Hi guys, I just managed to give Palma a visit yesterday and apparently the surroundings are quite ok. Its old yes, but surprisingly well maintained overall. If im not mistaken its around 20+ year old? The roads condition sux in Mont Kiara though.. i mean.. for a high class place like this.. how come the road conditions full of portholes or uneven roads?  I was manuvering my car like a rally car to avoid the holes
