I think Prody is referring to corner lot with bigger land area. When I visited the show room, the intermediate unit ranges from 1.3mil.

I checked quite a while back. I just remember it was about 1.5m, so 1.4x sounds about correct.

Yeah Maya phase semi-Ds are all 3 storeys. If you compare the new semi-Ds in the vicinity eg. Laville which is now pricing at 1.7millions for 3 storeys, Twin Palms pricing is quite okay.

Yup, I too think Lum Chang's pricing is reasonable unlike TMS. EastPark72 is now RM1.6Xm.

Also, both Laville and Eastpark could not match Twin Palms feature for feature.

Laville and Eastpark72 does not have clubhouse and facility. Twin Palm is a true G&G community as they have those. Jade Hill is a better comparison to Twin Palm, feature for feature.

I stay in between these 4 developments and have visited all of them. Not to say Twin Palm is not good, it's better than Laville and Eastpark72 and has resort feel. But I finally chose Jade Hill.

Twin Palm negative: have to pay RM1 tol everytime need to go out (will be increased to RM1.30 "soon"), have to pass through "terowong" to get home and out (my wife and oldfolks don't like due to safety issue and fengshui), not so much gardens, and "smaller" clubhouse.

Good thing is, it is on very high ground, fresh air and cooling. Don't have to pass through small residential/factory roads to reach Twin Palm.

The best is to visit the place yourself and compare each of them. I nearly bought Twin Palms before visiting Jade Hill.

Lets give some luvin to Twin Palms

Yeah, it does lose out to Jade Hills in some aspects but there is just that something about Twin Palms which appeals to me more than Jade Hills. Something which is difficult to pin down. That something which causes all current residents to choose TP over JH. It is an emotional thing I would say.

Both Twin Palms and Jade Hills are the real deal and both have their pros and cons. To begin with, JH is more expensive (1.25m vs 9XX during early phases) so it is not an immediately apple to apple comparison.

For me, I find the BMC/Cheras South shopping/commercial/lifestyle setting around Twin Palms is much more appealing than the Kajang equivalents of Jade Hills.

Some Twin palms folks skipped Jade Hills because they are not keen on the oriental setting of Jade Hills.

Both serves different needs I guess. BTW congrats on your JH purchase.

Yeah I agree with you on the toll whenever you leave your home. That is quite a big turn off. But for me, the environment, the greenery really make me overlook the toll part. What kind of safety issue (terowong collapse?) and fengshui? Can you share a bit on that aspect?

I am really interested Twin Palms and seriously considering to purchase a unit over there. I have not been to Jade Hill so probably will drop by this weekend to experience it myself.

yamaharbx, I agree with you that currently BMC/Cheras South shopping/commercial/lifestyle is more appealing than Kajang. I am currently staying 5 minutes away to Cheras Selatan. I think Cheras Selatan area will be very very wong, it's already very wong now.

If you see the map, JH and TP are of same distance to Cheras South. I would still go to Cheras Selatan after I move to JH because of the easy accessibility. We have to see the location, not just based on the word "Kajang". Twin Palm's postcode is 43000 Kajang also, same as JH.

As for the "terowong" in Twin Palms, it's up to individuals. Saw that it's lighted at night and got CCTV which is good. But I would prefer the guardhouse to be before the terowong than after the terowong. As for oldfolks, they don't like it due to potential safety issue but this is very subjective of course.

BTW JH still have linked terrace which is 860K. To get <1 Mil in Twin Palms, we'll have to get subsale already, currently from 850K to 950K (corner). Yes, the oriental setting does turn off some ppl. It did turned me off initially, lol.

Either way, both places are GOOD for living. Just depends on preference after visiting both places.

Yup, agree both places are good and will meet different needs and aspirations.

TP is right at the fringe of Cheras south. Post code is one thing, but the immediate neighbourhood is another and is what counts for some. TP is surrounded by undulating hills, and the drive between TP and BMC/Cheras South is quick and pleasant with great scenery.

When it come to township yuppie-ness, Kajang is still Kajang no matter what angle you look at it. JH has its railway tracks and light industry factories for neighbours but I guess its the total package that's the deciding factor.

BTW, have you heard of the three break-ins in JH some months back. I read that Gamuda took some drastic actions on security after that.

yeah, you can read all about it in the other forum or go to the sales office to inquire, they will tell you everything.

Wow, I thought it was just rumours initially.

Was impressed when visit relative in Twin Plm. But they complained bout quality of the house like timber floor, leaking, etc. When complain to the staff, their response slow and some rude. Hope they solve the problem liao.

Is your relative staying in the Superlink or Semi-D? Hmmm hopefully the problem is solved. I saw the furnishing of the completed bare unit semi-D is good. As long as they are willing to fix the defects, then it is still okay.

is semi-D. they show me the timber floor, got eee ooo eee ooo at some spot. they say have complain to fix. but overall, very nice la...so house so big. i will visit them again see how already.

ahhhh! got ppl mention jade hill again in that twin palm forum. i will go look see look see tmr.

It seems like JH is getting very good response as well. Hmmm now I am in dilemma. Too bad this weekend I am too occupied to visit JH. I have to decide soon whether to go ahead with the Twin Palms purchase. They are chasing me to sign S&P soon.

Any TP and JH buyers here? Mind to share your feedback on both the projects.

Jade Hill is grand. Twin Palms is quaint. Both are out of the way. I bought a unit at TP mainly because I felt more comfortable the I first got there and it has no illusions of grandeur - the impression I got the first time I set foot in Jade Hills.

But to each his own. Both seem to be really good places to live, but if you do ask me, I'd think that investment wise, JH is surely better.

Why JH is better in terms of investment? Because of its grandeur factor as what you mentioned?

Frankly speaking, TP capital appreciation is quite slow. From the day TP launched their Areca semi-D, starting price 900K till the day before Maya was launched, the pricing was 1.06mil. For semi-D freehold property, this is considered quite slow.

Really need to drop by JH to experience it myself.
