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...

Thanks Yeowa.
Yeah, I ve heard some units with water leaking. Will keep that in mind. Recently got complaint from SQ - the stone blasting or something, not sure if Emerald would be affected in terms of noise and pollution?

Dream.angels,
The duplex I viewed was 1830 sq ft. In terms of the space is ok. Master bedroom, didnt get to see but I think its quite small. So I did thought of if buy, then maybe I ll break the wall of another bedroom to make a supersize master bedroom but then will leave behind one other very small room. Tough jugak.
Maintenance fees, I think was 0.20. Sorry can't remember

I am not sure about that too. It seems like the master bedrooms for all the emerald condos are small. The service apartment block I used to stay also liket that.

This post has been edited by yeowa: Dec 16 2010, 09:05 AM

prices of house in Putra heights also very expensive leh... rm650k!!!! for a house in putra heights.. cant believe it. a year ago, it was only 480k...

3 years ago, I can't afford houses for RM300k above and the price for BU was about 300-500k. I get a condo for RM215k.
Now when I am more comfortable with RM300k-400k range, the houses in PJ is already over RM600k. CRAZY!

exactly. well... we didn't expect houses prices to leap so high so fast... only 2 years, and already jump 50-60% sigh

That's why a lot of ppl couldn't afford house...

Our cash value going down....

emerald not bad, im staying at block 1 for almost 2 years now...good security no negros (thank God)...

Security tight. Jmb mngt active. Upkeep good. Location perfect. Compare to others cant beat this one with reasonble pricing.

Hi bro, any luck on finding duplex unit in Dsara Perdana?
There was one unit in Perdana Emerald auctioned below 700k, done deal at 740k recently, non bumi unit

that's a steal, the duplex units are quite nice, large and spacious. emerald perdana repainting will commence soon, vendors shortlist out already

This post has been edited by corleone74: May 27 2015, 05:56 PM

Yeah, even the intermediate unit 1850 sqft one got double volume in the living room.
Taikor, may i know when the repainting will commerce? Using sinking funds?

not taikor la, anyway is my relative unit not mine
the notice is out notifying about the shortlisted paint vendors on the noticeboards for residents to raise any objections, i think more or less confirmed will jalan within this year.
most likely is using the sinking fund as my relative never mention any special levy was raised. emerald condo jmb fund shoudl be rich
you got a unit here?

This post has been edited by corleone74: May 27 2015, 10:34 PM

Yes, got a unit there. Just bought a duplex unit few weeks ago.
It is one of the most well-managed development in entire Dsara Perdana
The current yellow color looks very "old School" we need a new and refreshing color.

wow, congrats & welcome welcome (on behalf of my relative haha) you bought the 740k auction unit????
just "bought" means sign SPA already or just booking fee?
yes emerald is nice, i think one of the lower density there as well (just a guess, didn't do full research)
agree on the color. they must do up the carpark also, a bit gloomy. i'm sure u like the pool area too

no the auction unit is at Block 1, mine is Block 2, pool view.
I got it lower priced than the auction unit. I have checked with valuers, the market price is around 950K for 1850 sf duplex unit.

how come so cheap? dunno how you guys managed to get these kind of deals, so far i never got this kind of deal

Hi I own a unit in Emerald, so far so good. The management is doing a good job to upkeep the condo. Water leakage problem, yes, my unit have a major leakage problem once and take me about 1 month plus to rectify due to the complication involved (involving 3 units) Water leaked from my neighbouring unit to my unit, then, from my unit leaked down to the unit below mine. Complicated!!
I think most of the resident pay the maintenance fee in time because there are a lot of families/ owner stay there.

Now, I not staying in Emerald anymore, I rented it out. In summary, I think Emerald is one of the best maintained and quiet peaceful condo in DP.

Thanks for sharing, how is the traffic in and out at Jln PJU 8/1, it is quite jam.
I also notice that the residents profiles are mainly family especially the Block 1 and 2, not many units avail for rent now.
Block C has smaller units, thus more tenant profiles there.

Overall, i notice that Perdana Emerald fetches lower rent compared to the neighbouring MSQ, Ritz 2, and Neo

Merely luck.
Just incentivize the prop negotiator who can find u a good deal, even they have got the commission from the seller

i also incentivized my REN also no luck!

My duplex unit (end lot) is ready for rent, top floor thus a "penthouse" setting. Newly painted, 4 bedrooms, 3 bath, 3 water heater, 5 air cons. BU 1850sf, swimming pool facing, partially furnished, 2 covered car park, monthly rent RM2900.

If interested pls PM to fix appointment.

Hi DivIneGAL,

I did visit a unit back in late October and early November. I had met with the owner and did asked about the painting and units to rent.

She said that the building did repainting about a year plus ago. I even compliment that the building does look fresh and have a new colour look to it.

Rent wise, the owner said it's better to buy the unit straight because the rental price is the same if you choose to buy it.

Hi, sl6761872.

Perdana Emerald is indeed a great place to live.

I was amazed with the security when I was seeing for the first time.

I dare to say that their security patrol is much better than my current place.

Are you still considering after all this while ?

Lelong unit sold today.
Size 1437sqft.

From 342,700 sold at 372K.
Good catch?
