i like perdana emerald.. any1 familiar with it.. comment pls..

Not bad, my fren stay there and the environment is quite good.

i have stayed there before. Very good car park system, great security and of course very good environment and facilities. Block 1 & 2 are the condominium, mostly duplex while Block 3 is the service apartment where the electricity and water are more expensive (commercial lot).

block 1 & 2 mostly duplex..?
i think duplex is onli at d higher floors..

If I am not wrong 5th floor above are all duplex.

nah... i know someone's unit at the 8th floor is non duplex...

Which block? Block C is a service apartment, all single unit.

just to share what i think of this condo. i went there last saturday and managed to walk around:

pros:
1) security quite tight, use access card system
2) seems to hv quite a lot of visitor parking bays
3) quite place
4) convenient for makan, grocery shopping.

cons:
1) saw a long list of owners not paying up maintenance fee at the notice board
2) could tell that the devloper did not use good material during construction coz only 6 years the common area already looks quite run down and got cracks already.

Visited the place 2 Saturdays ago... duplex unit, 13th floor, facing northeast.
FOund it stuffy. Not hot but stuffy, seemed like compared with other condos i visited before, this one not much wind.
Came back use wikimapia, looks like if wind comes from north or northeast, its blocked by metro sq.
If wind comes from the east then blocked by ritz.
So, may want to see where it is facing. Not sure about other units.

You may want to consider high floor facing swimming pool. I stayed there for 2 years on 19th floor block C facing swimming pool. Very windy.

How much is the duplex?

any negro stays there?

As a remembered the asking price was 540K which I thought was pretty reasonable.
Hmm 19th floor... Shall keep an eye for 19th floor to view

@headlight any condos also got one. Just not a lot. 1 out of 20?

@maxforce for 540k u can get a second hand landed property. _nless u really love condos, emerald is a good buy. Since u r looking at duplex, you may check out armanee terrace. Better atmosphere I believe.

Yeowa,
Thanks for the recommendation though indeed, I prefer condos.. hehe
As for Armanee, I think the price range about 700-800K? Correct me if I am wrong. Dont think I wanna buy at 700-800K at the moment, if the price range is such. Hehe

Negro trend will be increased in Msia for 100% sure. I stay in a condo in subang full of negro, cannot tahan.

Negros r everywhere lah.
Mostly con man n drug pusher.
Blame d stupid govt., our neighbourhood is turning into a ghetto.

If that's the case, emerald will suit you. Very quiet and peaceful environment. They shouldn't be any more construction nearby like 3years back where metropolitan was still in progress. My disclaimer is I move out from the place 3 years ago and stayed there for 2 years when the apartment was just completed. Heard that there is some fault in some unit already la. Just make sure your unit is ok. Inspect every angle if you can. I am now staying at my own unit at Perdana Condo.

Near college, easier public transportation = More negro. Remember subang got a lot of colleges. Damansara Perdana none for now.

Actually, not all negros are bad. Just like us, they are actually scared of us abusing them. Try to be more open lor. Today we live in the world of globalisation dy.

duplex at rm540k...? how big is d duplex ar?
then, maintenance fees, how much..?

Duplex quite big, about 1800 - 2000sq ft. i think maintenance about RM0.20 - RM0.25 per sq ft

Not Block C... it's not the service apartment side.. more to the Condo side.

Btw, nowadays, 540k unable to get landed property in PJ area ady... I'm searching for one... and all is priced around 650k to 900k... and those 650k to 800k range.. looks like want to collapse type... sigh...
