When u have millions to buy a house maintenance fees isn't a factor.. Is a different league..willing buyer willing seller nothing is insane IMO..

One minor correction - "When you have millions in CASH to buy a house, maintenance isn't a factor".

How many The Glades buyers do not need bank's loan? And many of them stretch the loan tenure to 30yrs. Many ppl are paying loan installments through the nose every month in order to be in the "league".

You just need to be a member of an RA to know that even for supposedly high-end devt, collection and default of maintenance fees is a serious issue.

totally agreed, when AGM come, there are no difference between so call low cost residents & highend residents are over petty money matters...really embarrassing

Precisely, high income group or rich neighbor isn't mean they are a "quality" resident, certain percentage will create lots of troubles in paying maintenance charges...
Many who stay in million dollar condo in MK being non performing members too

Well I kinda agree with the bolded statement by UFO-ET. I'm a Putra Heights resident and I think the 'quality' of the resident is very important. I would say that 80% of the resident in Putra Heights is Malay and 20% is Chinese, Indian and others (incl. foreigners esp. indonesians) How many have you been to Putra Heights? Before you all comment on how magnificent Putra Height is, please take your time and drive around the residential areas. Personally Putra Heights can be categorized as a medium to low income group as I would say from Section 1-10, there are almost 20-30% of empty houses and most people buy their properties here for investment. If you drive around the neighborhood, you will see alot of empty houses (most shabby looking) with banners slapped all around it. I understand the statement 'quality of the residents' because me myself feel very sad about the mentality of some of the residents, though afford to drive a continental car, but still think like a orang kampung( be it chinese, indian, malay etc..) A few things that I encountered for the past 5 years I stay here, that should fit the bolded statement very very much...

1) boys from low cost apartments across the street (opposite Esso) comes to our playground at Section 9. They destroy our playground equipments, burn them and despite MPSJ keep repair it, the result become the same. Numerous report made, even police come, still no effect. The adults in the playground (some foreigners) just ignore things that happened infront of their eyes.

2) no RA (Resident Association) because most residents here claimed their house is rented, anything talk to landlord, lazy to entertain RA. Attend once RA meeting in my section, big argument until want to fight for a small matter. Disguting.

3) Dont be surprised to see people disposing furnitures and other items that they no longer use (be it small or big) infront of their houses, or anywhere that is an open area. Another sad thing is my neighbor, Chinese (engineer in profesion) disposed their unused vase, pots infront of the playground field. Some residents just throw their sofa in the drain (longkang) nearby their house or other people house.

4) 2-3am, you will hear alot of big motorbikes rounding at the playground area (means infront of my house) be it weekdays or weekend. Sometimes heavily modified cars come to race at the straight main road connecting sec 7, 9 & 10. You can see 'live' fast and furious.

5) I have 2 cars, I parked 1 infront of my gate (without obstructing traffic) and got my car scratched, 'puk*mak' and 'lan *iao'. My neighbors MYVI got painted with cat poo and my malay neighbors honda civic got his side mirror cracked. We have serious security issues here. We are working adults and cars only back at late evening, so no idea who's kid is so uneducated and kurang ajar to do all this. Later we found out it is a pattern random attack.

Actually there are more negative points but I do not want to make the reader's eye sore, so 5 should be suffecient. I dare not say that high end, premium, sofisticated developments do not have lousy residents, but at least it is minimized and finding the culprit will not be a hassle. Every neighborhood has got their nightmares and sweet dreams, because it is all determine by the quality of the residents. I would describe myself as neutral as I do stoopid things like being a litter bug sometimes, but not to the extend of annoying other people. I do know that Putra Heights die hard suppporter and fans will start bashing me like no tomorrow after reading my essay, but hey, its the truth of the truth. So, I really prioritise my next house buying at security (best G+G) 1st, quality of residents (be it chinese, malay or indian only) 2nd and conditions of environment 3rd. I have no regrets buying my current house and do not intend to sell it either, but given the oppurtunity I will find a better place to stay.

i have to agree with Jenn77.

i'm from PH as well. i agree on the -ve aspect on older phases
but it's lot better on newer phases (e.g. sec 6 and 7)
not forgetting sec 3 as well
i would say... these sections have better neighborhood than the rest; no offense bro

This place need a lot of catch-up to do before it can be categorise under medium to high-end living. Myself been driving to that areas couple of times and although there's many new development in this area still I can see that the low cost houses and surrounding which is tarnishing the whole image of PH. Anyway probably given a few years down the road you will see a much better surrounding and environment in PH.

with the chinese school and international school are up and operating, PH will be a nice place to live in
i love the quietness of its surrounding; that's why i opt to buy my 1st house here
hopefully the LRT will not spoil the environment much

I NOTICED Anyway, do wish PH all the best. Cost houses elsewhere is not selling cheap either.

I heard Sime Darby Property have sold 60 to 70% of their bungalows in The Glades, Putra Heights. I do like the house, just hate the maintenance fee!

Another alternative would be USJ Heights' bungalows, gathered that USJ Heights' maintenance fee is lower cos it comes with individual title, and it is a guarded and "gated" community too, but minus all the clubhouse facilities. SD is launching USJ Heights bungalows ( only about 14 units)in July !!

I think USJ Heights is worth taking a look, it has enjoyed very impressive capital appreciation for their earlier phases.

Added on June 30, 2011, 12:07 amI think those wishing to buy into PH should do it now because of the LRT, International School and most importantly SRJKC Tun Tan Siew Sin which is currently under construction and expected to be ready by 2013. The house prices at PH will even be much higher by then.

the Glades is a lot more exclusive than USJ H

Agree...
In fact location wise I do feel The Glades has advantage over USJ Heights, coz UH are surrounded by many industrial Parks, air quality is questionable, furthermore KESAS highway (lower ground) will create heavy echo to this Tmn.

My dad has bought a unit of Indigo II zero-lot bungalow (Type A) in USJ Heights for RM2,250,000 (RM520 psf) 2 months back. All units are fully sold now. A few weeks ago, a person called up and offered us RM2.5 million to buy the house. However, my father turned away the offer as his intention is not for investment, but to move in to a new house.. From there, I realized that the houses in Subang Jaya appreciate very fast... Maybe when the house is completed, it may cost double/triple its launch price.

About the air quality, it depends on which part of USJ Heights you are talking about. I agree that maybe some of the units will have bad air quality and even electromagnetic wave issues as some of the super link houses are facing the TNB cable station. But the Batu Tiga's industrial park is still quite far away from USJ Heights. Moreover, you have to pass by Subang Heights to go the industrial park. I think it most probably at least 1km away from USJ Heights. So I don't think the air quality is an issue, it's the TNB cable station.

Thank god, our unit is not near the TNB cable station.

Regards.

Anyway, here's a teaser of the upcoming Avalon bungalow development in USJ Heights.

Avalon @ USJ Heights, Subang Jaya

I've just been to USJ Heights sales office and saw the upcoming launch of a new bungalow development called Avalon @ USJ Heights.

Sime Darby Property indicated that launch price will be from RM3.3 million.

Total Units: 14
Price: From RM3.3 million (estimated, not confirmed!)

Please call Sime Darby Property for more info! They said booking is first come first serve, so be alert!

Official launching in July! 

Teaser:







Regards.

G&G is the main factor for USJH

I live in Putra Heights 9 and have an office in Putra Heights 7. Regarding the demographic based on race. I don't think it is correct. I can say it's well distribute and balance. There is RA in Putra Heights 9 and an active RA in sub PH9. There are numerous activities every year. I agree with the live fast and furious. We can see super cars like Ferrari, Porsche etc racing on the road. I'm wondering if you realized that.

Izzit? Maybe I've been hiding somewhere in Sec 9 and I missed out a lot of goodies. Why was the RA meeting not informed in the PH Forum? Why the Sec 9 residents there no info of any annual meeting or what so ever, or the RA meeting is only for 'certain' someone. There was a recent proposal for G+G from the residents of the Lily & Lily 2 residents. They where searching high and low for the RA of Sec 9. I didn't see anyone reply in the forum also? You witness the fast and furious yourself or hearsay? I saw a blue ferrari (are you the driver? ) quite frequent, but did not witness him doing stunts. I 'saw' heavily modified cars doing drag race and it was awhile ago. Now they seem to change venue, maybe due to the OP's Payung. The current PH forum is practically concentrate on the Chinese School ongoing construction and LRT station whereabouts.. I checked the forum (Sec 9) everyday.. I guess I'm the only fella keep reviving the thread? WHAT RA?

On the race issue, I admit that recently alot of Chinese moving in to PH, and I can see more ppl bringing out their dogs out for walk in the evening. Just hate them when they let their dog poo in front of our house! PM me if I missed anything on the RA meetings. Not planning to smear PH in this thread.

most of the RA at PH don't actively use the PH.com as communication medium
i think LPRA is using google group
perhaps Sec 9 RA is using something else

hi, i am interested with putra height. nvr visit there, just wonder, why the prices so much difference? i heard some houses price at 300k++ and some million million
