but the distance between puteri and putera only 30 steps away la...it's not a big deal..
puteri oso nearer to ldp, same thg....

facilities wises: Puteri dont hav cafeteria (putera hav chinese and indian restaurant), no kindergarden, no badminton,no ping pong,and gym is not maintain well (may b cant use at all nw)

security wises: if u r not a tenant at Putera u cant enter into the areas..u need to register at the guard house b4 entering the area) but for Puteri siapa siapa pun boleh masuk & keluar (walk in la)

furthermore they hav cctv install inside the lift and need access card to enter the lift lobby (add point)

if u really walk in to both condo, if can fell the different.. somemore u can see alot of malay and indian hanging around at puteri (mostly tenant there), putera mostly chinese owner occupied..

I also notice that those indian car wash workers at Caltex opposite puteri also tenanted there!!!!..

aiyo 30 steps for a sick person is alot lah.

i suspect is because of the road n drainage

is kelana putera facing highway unit acceptable? anyone buying this kind of unit there?

My friend has ever rented a room in Putera facing highway, she told me that she seldom open the window due to noise and dust ...

it's a BAD BAD choice!!!
some units have bad water leaking problem!!!
CARPARK PROBLEM!!
traffic congestion kao kao.
bad maintenance
security (i think that is a decoration only) USELESS!
NOISY environment

many blacks are staying there, i'm not bias, but thats their culture.


it's a LOW COST option!

it's leasehold right? If I want to buy it also for investment only. planning to rent out to people.

even for investment purpose only doesn't mean u can neglect everything...
sometimes that could cause u to lost even more money and time.

example:

water leaking problem : nobody can exactly know what cause it, even the experience plumber or contractor. can be the pipe, the water proofing, the wall crack... etc etc...

termite problem : haha! usually u won't realise when the time u buy it... it's come slowly...

I think we need to clarify the below:

where is the water leaking? common area or just a handful problem units??

termite ?? infest wat? cabinets, door ?(understand frames made from metal)

car park/security/maintain - i think every mid end condo is same lah...will car park improve when paradigm, parklane completed - eg night parking or per entry?

black - now how many %? what is the usual alarm rate? eg black 10% can create problem?? how many total unit in putri/putra?

water leaking, look at the plaster ceilling and wall when u step in the condo. if u see water mark, means the unit has leaking problem.

unless ur kitchen cabinet and all furniture all made frm steel, and certain termite problem already affected the plaster ceilling. as long as ur neighbourhood still "pating" termite, ur unit will nvr ever get rid of it.

parking problem.. if can solve in that way would be good, otherwise js an empty talk..

black, if u want to know how many exactly, i think u need to knock door by door. if they dun bother u, thats fine, many ppl also staying in pelangi damansara with all the black, bangladesh, indon... with no problem, but many of ppl hav move out, why.. u go n find out..

if anyone here are puteri or putera resident also, can pls tell the truth and the problem u facing also?

water lead - so not all units lah...dun scare potential owner/ investors lah ...maybe u got bad luck n got leaking problems.

i m in wood industry b4. furniture, door mostly r treated with chemicals so won infest. oni cabinet which made from "cheap" board can be easily infested in high termite hazard risk environment eg near forest, dead tree etc . suggest use better wood eg solid type, plywood etc to saveguard your kitchen cabinet at risks.
p/s plaster ceiling won infested lar coz it is not made by wood, it is plaster + small % of reinforcing fibres.

black - no need to knock every door lah. just check with JMB and get a rough %.. it is still ok if it is still small %. if too high, then complain to JMB coz owner dun like their prop value drop oso.

i was there last time, really saw few units with water marks here and there and another 2 unit with the damn big water mark, the tenant told me that owner try to fix it before, but the problem can't be solve. the mark is getting bigger n bigger. i think the owner want to sell it before it getting worst.

nowadays most of the cabinet are made by chipboard la.. look at ikea and all the furniture shop. they just laminated one piece of pattern layer outside, make it looks nice only then sell u ex ex.. i have kaji the furniture also when i bought my 1st home. and moslty kitchen cabinet and built in wardrobe are also made by chipboard, i really face termite problem when i was still renting the room. termite can even spoilt ur plaster ceilling.

js to share my bad bad experience. i'm not trying to scaring ppl la, if u didnt face the same problem as me then u r the lucky man.

fyi, IKEA is the oni furniture co totally refused chemicals treatments. they want to claim green and environmental frenly..

and now many co oso follow IKEA (no treatment) coz they want u to change furniture more often mah. how to make $ if furniture can last long long time like those old days? so who to blame?

plaster ceiling - maybe today the producers added some wood chips/fibre (to attract termites) to save cost or force u to change more often?? nowaday biz man are very smart.

agree with u...but for the unit size... i thk puteri got 2 size 1055 sf and 12xx sf (limited units) while putera got 1148sf and 1250sf respectively, so putera oso can consider bigger, somemore all units in putera is a corner unit...

[/quote]
The puteri got 3 size lah which are 1055, 12xx and 1345sf. Dont simply say think when u dont know.

Somemore u can see the car park like shopping car park. No ppl or guard can see the ppl inside of it. Rob or anything can happen if the car park like that.

About the unit face to highway, the puteri face to LDP all low speed in normal time and the putera face to north-south highway which got 3 line, most of the time ppl speed 110km/hr. Everyday u hear the sould with 110km/hr, i think your ear sure will got problem in long term.

Puteri is the nearest condo to the bus stop. If u try walk everyday the distance btw puteri and putera u will know that quite far.

putra better.... last time i also stay in putra.. i almost buy putra .

and why not?
also putera is one of the few condos did not appreciate much for the last two years.

Are you talking about puteri or putera? Or both?

because he finally buy the puteri.

Bottom line is that puteri/putera is more for renter cause they have good rental yield. if for own stay i would suggest mahkota or putera!!! with the new development there, i would think properties ard there will go up quite high in future!!!

first thing is puteri rental yield is better than putera and mahkota. second, due to the new development, the appreciation of puteri is faster than both. maybe the security system puteri is not good enough, but coming mth the puteri will have a system with everyone need a card to enter in the building even tenant, then lift and corridor cctv will apply. I will not feel safe if i park in putera parking place which like shopping mall and it too far to the lift.

recently went to view both condos' unit, and after viewing, i would say i like kelana puteri. 1st is because the compound of kelana puteri is bigger, is more like a ideal residence. 2nd is the layout of the condo. Kelana Puteri's layout is that you can easily design and locate furniture. And kelana d'putera unit layout got too many corners.
