What do you guys think of Serenade? Went to the gallery, looks good. Price over 1million though. Am thinking.

Personally, only the garden units attract me but not all types.
It seems an after though when access to the garden for some unit is via the bedroom 🙈

If you saw the initial floor plans, the door in the bedroom to access the garden wasn't there.

Happy hunting...

Longshot, you mean those on level 2 with the private garden?
What's the issue with higher floors? Can see more, nice view.

I thought we access the garden via the balcony? Or yard?

Boss,
Yes, level 2 type B and D.
This 2 types garden units, the master bedroom has a private garden attached that is accessible via a door in the bedroom. Personally, I don't quite like it. The space around the door becomes a dead space as you can't utilize it much, making the bedroom usable space smaller. Moreover, after walking on the garden, going back into ur room doesn't feel right. Sand, dirt, dust could follow. A possible solution is to timber deck either completely or partially to make it cleaner.
If given a choice, I would hack the wall adjacent to the door leading to the garden and replace it with 2 large glass bi-folding doors opening to the private garden. Put my bed where the bedroom TV wall is and my bed will be facing directly the private garden. Timber deck the floor in front of the bi-folding glass panels and get a good landscape architect to do up the garden and surrounding walls. Put some up-down warm lights for a romantic and soothing view. The view will be personalized, now wouldn't that be better than any high floor unit?
Just my personal view...ya

Higher floors doesn't seem to grant you much better views. The 2 highest block is C and D (if I recall correctly) at 9 storey high. Block C is facing Block A which is 4 storey high but it start at Level 1 while C start at Level 2. So the 1st to 4th floor of C view is basically blocked by A. 5th floor gives slightly better view so to be safe only 6th (maybe can only see partially the lake) to 9th grant some nice view of the Glades lake, provided not blocked by the bungalows.

Block D, you will be staring at Kingsley school building on the hill. Doubt you will see much at 9th floor.

Block B, with 6 storey high including car park, deck 1 and 2 high floor may give similar views of the lake but I can't be sure on the orientation. Not sure if it is direct view of the lake or right side view. It's a risk.

Garden units, no such risk as up to you and most are unique units, you can't find same unit in the entire development.

Just my 2 cents view.

Longshot, you've really analyzed the Serenade options well. Needed time to digest, and have to refer to the layout. Agree with you it's strange to go into the garden via the bedroom, it'll be different if it's a beach resort condo, but that's not the case here.

Good point about block C higher floors still able to see some part of the Glades, I didn't think of it from that aspect. Unfortunately the high floors of block C are all booked save for unit 1 (less desirable it seems).
Actually I was contemplating block D. Really nothing much to see? The Kingsley hill at least presents green views though there's nothing much now.

Boss,
Do site visit to confirm Block D viewing.
With site work on going, you may get a better idea how's the view. I did mine before site work commence, easier to enter the site but without any work done on site, I guess guess only how's things going to be layout. My analysis may not be accurate...ya. Take it with a bagful of salt.

IronManz, if you have 1 mil budget, why not consider landed prop?
provided you are open for option for this.
Lots of subsale within PH for 1 mil budget. Section 6, Laman Putra and etc.
Bigger space and you will be spoiled with design options. Some are gated and guarded per say

Provided if you are not aiming for 'atas' feeling from Serenade or The Glades (landed). Then you are stuck with few options only

If you are aiming for close distance makan area, I think you are looking at wrong place in PH. But consider the pro and con. Less traffic here and we are short distance away to Taipan/Puchong. Take notes that these areas are packed with cars
easy access to highways and some without tolls
*
Hi Lelynx, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
At my current point in life, I'm not that adventurous to take on subsale as it'll require renovations. And am not a fan of gardening, so actually the landed land doesn't really get utilized much, still would be sititng indoors.

One thing I notice is that landed areas eventually tend to have cars parked along the sides of the housing area roads, including outside the side areas of other people's houses. Quite unpleasant. Maybe modern landed projects have a solution for this.

I agree with you that PH is a nice area. I've driven through it now and then, and also when I checked out Serenade. You PH people are a lucky bunch.

Pro and con for condo vs landed. You can do a Google search for comparison. As it's up to personal preference

BTW, those few sections which I've mentioned earlier, roads are wide enough for parking. I had no issue at all at my area now. That's the beauty of PH landed areas
Car porch is not for gardening alone. As you may park in front of your house directly. No need to carry heavy grocery for lift at condo
Can do BBQ too or for kids to play around
Some areas are gated and guarded; take note it's not applicable for all PH
You need renovation for Serenade too, right? it's the same for subsale landed. find a decent one and you might not even need to change much. 1 mill budget for PH subsale landed, it more than enough to find a decent 2000sft BU

It really does seem that PH has a nice bunch actively in here in lowyat. Sense of community is good.

We used to have an online active forum for PH few years back. but it was taken down as we didn't get financial support to host the webpages anymore

I got to know many stuffs for PH from that online forum before I sign the dotted line for my first house in PH

I use the same nickname for that forum. and I remember BRE using the same nickname too smile.gif

This came when I was swamped with work and didn't get to sit down to reply.

I basically started with Bukit Jalil, then went through some good developers (+plus some others in the area) and focussed on freehold.

Sunway:
- Flora @Bkt Jalil/Kinrara
- Belfield @KL
- Alishan @Cheras

Sime Darby:
- Teja @SJ
- Serenade/Serasi @PH

Tropicana:
- Metropark Southplace 2 @SJ
- Aman @KK

WCT/Malton:
- Maple @OUG

Exsim:
- Fiddlewoodz @KL

BRDB:
- Miranda Hill @N Kiara

MCT:
- Alira @SJ
- Alora @SJ

OSK:
- Anya @Puchong

L&G:
- Livista @BdrSriD'sara

Berjaya:
- Tropika @Bkt Jalil

Misc:
- Aster Hill @Sri Petaling
- ChinHin: Ayanna, Avantro @Bkt Jalil
- Dorsett Waterfront Residence @SJ


...

Any other worthwhile new freehold condo I missed out?

After Serasi still got another 3 development, then another 1 opposite Giant and another one next to Harmoni RSKU by another developer.

Exciting times indeed....

Nice. Each of them has their own pros and cons.

Interesting to see the location is so spread out

I'm slightly biased away from KL (Ampang, Rawang), as well as from too far up north beyond Bdr Sri D'sara and from the areas too much to the side (E: Klang, W: beyond Bkt Jalil) or too way south (before Cyberjaya)
