Since there is no dedicated thread for Twin Palms project, I will start it biggrin.gif . It is a residential project by Fabulous Range Sdn. Bhd, subsidiary of Lum Chang. They have just launched their phase 2 Semi-D project, Maya with the price tag of 1.3Mil and above. There is a showroom available and 2 ready bare units as well for viewing.

This project is situated beside Sungai Long, just before the Sungai Long, toll. They have designed their G&G quite well. This project was started in 2007 with their Superlink house, Palmrya followed by their Semi D, Aria@Areca, Bungalow Tsara.

I am interested to get a unit of Semi-D over there. Any existing buyers or interested investors over here? I would like to get some opinions from the experts regarding this project. I am planning to get it for own stay.

http://www.twinpalms.com.my/

Pros
1) Well G&G design. Considerably high (8 feet tall) concrete wall with 2 feet fencing on top of it with CCTV camera surrounding the entire residential area. Multiple security checkpoint before entering the units.
2) The environment is very quite and peaceful.
3) It does not share the same entrance as Sungai Long.
4) Very well designed, elegant clubhouse with high end facilities (Jacuzzi, Sauna, Swimming Pool, Gym)
5) The furnishing and the quality of the houses are considerable good.
6) Freehold

Cons
1) Lack of public amenities. Need to go to Sungai Long, Cheras Selatan, Mahkota Cheras for groceries shopping, dining, window shopping and etc.
2) Need to pay RM1.00 toll whenever you want to leave your house.
3) Location is quite far from KL

Left 50%. There are still some nice units left for all the different layouts including another last corner unit of 1.6mil. If I am not wrong, there are about 30-40 units for Maya.

Fuyoh. Lotsa rich folks in LYN. Anyway, a friend bought a semi-d for 9XX and now subsale going for 1.3m. Not bad paper profit. I like that place very much but just out of reach. The toll is only one-way, on the way out and is free coming in. Should be worth it as silk highway is like a private highway for twin palms owners, who don't have to pass by thousands of road humps and old housing estates. As for driving, where got G&G new developments nowadays within walking distance to groceries (other than DPC). Driving is inevitable everywhere. Heck, I would take it just to get that real resort feel.

Anyone share my feelings that the Cheras Selatan /Balakong / BMC/ Sg Long is set to take off big time? There is the biggest Jusco outfit, C180 lifestyle commercial starting to be populated, Columbia Asia opening soon. High end residences between 1m-4m sprouting from Laville, Park 72, Twin Palms, Taming Mutiara, BSL5, and now the Tropicana boys Dijaya just announced 2 big acre high end GG developments in Sg Long and Balakong. Sunway Group is rumoured to start new development next to Twin Palms. With Kajang exploding, this southern frontier bordering both old cheras and Kajang should be a hotspot in waiting...

If I am not wrong, Type B = from 1.3mil till 1.5mil and Type A is from 1.4 till 1.6. But type C, I cannot recall how much is it.

Yeah the initial stage of Areca@Aria was launched at 92XK++, that is really a good buy. It is somemore 2.5 half storey. I like the serenity environment and no congested, jammed access road. LIke what you have said, silk highway is like catered for twin palms owners. rclxms.gif

I share the same sentiments as well. Things are taking off in Sg Long and Balakong area especially MRT route will pass by that area with 2 stations in it. Sunway group has a piece of land beside Twin Palms???!!! Behind in the sense in the continue down the highway of before twin palms and the highway toll??

Also NAZA TTDI further south.

Same feelings here. Now all it takes is a catalyst megamall ala Ikano/Midvalley to trigger it off. Sits right in the midst of huge catchment areas of Cheras, Balakong, BMC-SL, and Kajang. Lum Chang, Dijaya, SunwayGroup and Naza TTDI must have known something we dont. Damned. I need bullets.

We managed to visit Twin Palms at night recently. It was after a rain and we were just amazed at the cool, fresh misty air and that peaceful quietness against the backdrop of hills. A close description would be its like in Cameron Highlands. I am sure residents there do not need air-cons except in the hottest of season.

Seriously, you will need to see Twin Palms for yourself. Many have uprooted themselves from Sunway, Damansara, and Bandar Utama after just one visit. Now, I need to make my way to Lum Chang to collect my commission smile.gif

It's a nice place for sure. I've been there a few times but was turned of by the extreme price increase for their latest launch. Up to about the middle of last year they were selling at 1m, but then increased to about 1.5m for the new launch. It's too expensive now for the location in my opinion.

Believe it's somewhere between 1.3m-1.4xm after discount for the Maya new launch. Twin Palms has actually been playing tag with prices in Cheras and Jade Hills. It seems more aligned now.

These days, location is no more the one and only determining factor. We are seeing the effects of what strong concepts and branding can do, best example being DPC. Helped by push factors in prime areas such as maddening jams & crowd, small landed or built-up space (20/22x75) and crime rates.

If not mistaken, on the south side, Twin Palms should be the only new, large-acre full featured G&G with clubhouse, parks and ponds etc facilities that is closest to KL, after Lakefields and LakeEdge. The next one would be Jade Hills deeper in Kajang.

Wait till the Twin Palm Tsara bungalows are completed and visible along the Silk highway. These may spark off another round of hikes, not to mention impending launches by Dijaya Tropicana Sungai Long.

I once wondered whether the developers of Taming Pearl bungalows going for 4-6m right inside Sungai Long, are grossly mistaken. Not so sure now.

Off to collect another commission...

To put things in perspective, how much do you think Twin Palms would be priced if the entire 126 acres development is plucked out, park, club, ponds and all and air-lifted to Damansara or Bangsar or even Puchong? RM1.5m?

I'm not familiar with pricing in Damansara and Bangsar areas.

If around Puchong area, it would probably be priced just above 2.0m (freehold).
Waterville (lake edge) and kinrara residence are selling at about 1.5m-1.6m leasehold.

This is why for me Twin Palms pricing was ok around the 1m mark, but around 1.5m there are many other options.

Actually there were still a few units (Areca Semi D) left before the new semi-D Maya project was launched. The pricing was around 1.06 mil. The prices of those units were adjusted to 1.15 and above when Maya has launched.

But I would say among all the G&G projects that I have gone, Twin Palms is one of the best. I am not too sure about The Glades launched by Sime Darby at Putra Heights.

Those are the 2-storey semi-d. I think Maya is all 3-storey.
Anyway, the project is good, but semi-d price is too high now for me for that location.

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.

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. tongue.gif

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.

Is your relative staying in the Superlink or Semi-D? Hmmm hmm.gif 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.

It seems like JH is getting very good response as well. Hmmm hmm.gif 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. icon_question.gif

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. sweat.gif

JH has a bigger land bank and will include commercial developements iinm.
It has a china-apek oriental style which many chinese investors will probably favour over the modern look of TP.

Gamuda is much more aggressive when it comes to marketing when compared with LC.

Hence, I do believe that there is a chance that JH will turn into the DPC of the south.

TP capital appreciation is slow, and there aren't that many units for sale either. Mostly bought for own stay like me? I sure hope so - I have experienced one too many times where the lots are mostly bought by investors who then refuse to pay monthly maintenance charges doh.gif mad.gif

You're very optimistic indeed....DPC of the south. tongue.gif If it becomes reality, it will benefit this whole southern area including TP.
For JH, you have to get over the initial access road (pass by Muda Paper Holding factory, Ginvera factory), then it will start to look like going to a resort city (thanks to Gamuda for making the access pleasant). If you can't get over this, then look elsewhere.

BTW madmoz, care to share those places where with lots of investors refuse to pay monthly maintenance fees?

Hey madmoz,

Are you staying in the superlink or the semi-D? How is the security and maintenance? On the surface, it looks very secured, systematic and well maintained. However, I think only the residents will know the actual situation. Can you share a bit on your experience?

What about the quality/furnishing of the house? I heard there are some units with serious defects and the management is not responsive to rectify the problem.

As for defects, nothing major in my unit and yes, they are a tad slow to rectify.

Your link unit is referring to the superlink terrace? i thought the superlink units have been completed for quite some time, isn't it? Did you buy it subsale or you have not moved in since the key handover to you?

When I visited Twin Palms 2 months back, the SA brought me to see a fully furnished link house and they are planning to sell it at 800K. The house is really nicely furnished.

Personally, I do not like the superlink house due to the design (big air well and high ceilling making the area at the top level very narrow and limited. But the environment is really nice. smile.gif

My Kajang friends do not think highly about JH for the remote location vis-a-vis Kajang town & the inconvenient access.
Hence JH is not considered as high end status wise, despite the high end price laugh.gif

TP is far better, status & location wise.....

- Type 2: L/A- 3,350sf, b/u- 4,250sf, with lift From 1,528,000

- Claimed to be of "modern contemporary design"

- Claimed to be "Guarded". (not Gated ???)

- Claimed to sit on "elevated land overlooking TWIN PALMS"

- Soft launched - July 2011

- Developer name: unheard of before.

I am an owner of TP, wishing to share my experience here. Like many others who just went to look at TP. I was not happy paying the toll till I realize that I actually save time and money getting directly on SILK everyday rather than going through traffic lights and queing up in the morning.

If you bought Tropicana Cheras, you will have to squeeze through traffic coming out from BSL every morning, then at the traffic lights, que behind those going into Balakong town. IT is very frustating and time consuming to drive through Balakong town before you can join back Silk Road.

That RM1 is really worth it if you plan your trips and do all your errants on each outing. We have learned to be very efficient instead of wasting our time driving to and fro like we did in toll free roads.

MAYA C is almost sold out and TP is planning to launch the next phase. IF you are still sitting on the fence, you should be deciding soon.

TP can't compare with JH in terms of size, but we have a very cozy environment here. Lovely hills and fresh air all day. All of us have got healthier after moving in. The children are happier, no fear of mixing with other kids or walking out late at night. The club is a great place for activities and the parents don't even have to worry about their kids getting bored. There is just SO much to do!

Residents here can indulge in gym, indoor and outdoor activities, we have great get togethers at our lovely linear park and the management is very helpful and always there for us.

This is truly resort living at its best, where Sg. Long is concerned.


Added on September 6, 2011, 4:25 amHow to contact this T.J. Land? I heard they hit rocks after removing some trees and the project stopped.

Added on January 19, 2012, 5:42 amBack to Twin Palms after a long time away.... It is almost CNY already and almost a year since I moved in.

After moving here, and used to paying toll, it is hard for us folks to go back to jam packed places and we cant wait to go home.

Even though TP is far away, the journey is soothing and relaxing. No point staying in town where you have jams all the time.

Shopping for groceries is a breeze here. With Carefour, Econsave, 2 Juscos and Tesco Kajang, we are spoilt for choices and my freezer is always full of food.

Unless absolutely necessary, I wont bother to drive up to 1Utama anymore. Going down to Pavilion via Besraya take about 30 mins on a good day and most of the shops are similar to 1Utama anyway.


Not a nightlife person, so I dont really care for pubs as I prefer to sip my drinks at the pool.

We are very small, compared with JH vast gardens and lakes...but I find it adequate for our needs. Maintenance fee is cheaper as we dont need to pay additional for facilities.

Our small pool can be crowded on weekends but on weekdays, it is like having your own private pool.

Still enjoying our stay here.......great to be home.


Added on February 12, 2012, 9:31 pmMaya latest launch at RM1.69mil already.....and LC doesnt seem to be in a hurry to sell them..

The bungalows are not ready yet. No one allowed in.


Added on April 4, 2012, 10:16 pmMaya completing fast. Can see more ground levelling of a hill next to TP. May be the Sunville semid.


Added on April 5, 2012, 8:07 amMaya last phase is open for sale. I could see TJ land clearing their site in preparation for Sunville. Sunville prices similar to TP but only has gardens and is guarded. No facilities like gym/spa/sauna/pool. Their access road may be from Giant (saujana impian?) and also along the road from Silk. If this is true, TP will be toll free in the future if you are going to Kajang.

Just found out that my ex uni mate bought a terrace house in TP. Visited her last week and the place is quite peaceful though a bit far. She works in Damansara Heights and doesnt mind travelling from TP everyday due to the highway. She said she always leave the house empty , so far, security has been top notch and quite reasonable at RM280 a month. Has all the facilities of a condo, yet it is landed...quite a good combo.

Any buyers/investors in this area?

Nice project, but out of the "wong" area. Should buy puchong or pj if you want quick return. cyberjaya still has some developments. Try hunting around! Good luck!

If you buy TP, it will be a good place to stay but slow in appreciation as there are so many new projects coming out around the area....

Anyway, while I dont regret buying TP to stay, I do regret NOT buying Garden Residence Cyberjaya by MS...... That time, didnt think about buying for investment as I was contemplating one or the other, not both...thinking that Rm2mil invesment would be too much. 3 years later, GR is almost ready and the prices has shot up more than TP. If I had been brave like you guys and invested in both, I would be very contended and happy person today.

For own stay, I still choose TP as it is more mature and closer to amenities than GR. For investment, you can't deny the returns (on paper) so far is great. The Rm800k+ semid is now asking for Rm1.4mil and further upside when they launch another new phase at RM1.7mil later this year.

What makes GR ticks? It is at cyberjaya, IT hub of malaysia, has great connectivity through MEX, Putrajaya highways, Putrajaya Sentral, MRT and close to LCCT/KLIA as well.

TP, though surrounded by greeneries, is in the "Kajang putih" region, known for low costs houses, floods and daily jams!

Totally agreed thumbup.gif TP is a matured neighbourhood for own stay. Nice and serene environment. Fall in love when I visit TP though I have not stayed there yet haha brows.gif

Somehow I think Cyberjaya still do not have the substantial attraction for me to invest there. Paper gain is obviously much higher because of those big players' presence. Good marketing and housing concept attracts potential buyers.

Knows nothing about JH investment potential, I am sure JH knows it better.


Added on June 7, 2012, 4:16 pmNaleh, care to share more pros and cons of TP?


Added on June 7, 2012, 5:57 pmWhy I didn't choose JH for own stay.... way off my meagre budget of Rm1mil.

Why I didn't buy GR that time...

Worried about staying there alone if most are flippers. No clubhouse on site and the whole area is too new....sort of in the middle of nowhere....lots of construction going on. Maintenance fees quite expensive at Rm380 a month without clubhouse. Didnt know that IOI REsort city would be up so quickly.


Last thing ....the clubhouse was not built before the houses...so I cannot imagine how it would look like. The unusually high premium of Rm2000 a year puts me off because no one at that time knew how much and how they charge. Per house/per family/adults only? What if most residents find it expensive to join and opt out? Would Mah Seng operates a money losing clubhouse?

The KR, Kemuning Utama, Hijauan Residence clubhouses were not anything close to what were shown in paper.


Added on June 9, 2012, 3:32 pmSome said, that Garden REsidence of Cyberjaya may be the next DPC when completed because it has business retail units just outside the residential area. With 900 houses and 3 blocks of apartment suites, it is self contained estate, much like DPC.

So, Naleh33, what say you?


Added on June 11, 2012, 7:34 amNaleh, your new phase has much better value as you have a huge folding gate, higher walls, added garden points with timers and beautiful wide porch!

Haha...wished we had waited a bit.

The developer already agreed that we 1st phasers can widen our gate by 4 ft and change to folding to allow easier parking.

Been following GR for quite a bit, it seems that MS is trying to make GR a better place than DPC.

TP just cannot match GR as it doesnt have commercial hub, just full residential.......

Will need to see how GR turns out after 2 years.

Hi There,
I m new to this forum, but enjoy reading all the comment about Twin Palm.
My 1st visit to Twin Palm was on 2010 and was so impress with the nice, quiet environment and cool fresh air.

Twin9, since u stay in TP, can I ask a question?
In 2010, there was not much house in TP, more tree and nice scenery. With the launch of Maya phase 1, 2 and 3, there are more and more house in TP now and less tree and landscaping. Do u notice any change in term of the fresh air, and cooling environment in TP since a lot of tree has been chopped down.

Thanks

All the phases in TP were planned from day one and we know about it. I don't notice major changes in air quality so far. The hills opposite us (bungalows side) still good with lots of green. It is still cool at night. Can't say for the next few years.

I think TP land was already cleared (maya side) in 2010. It is the Sunville land that is being cleared now.

Thinking of place a booking for MAYA, SMD. But cannot decide which type is better. Type A , Type B or Type C? -.-"

Type A the ground floor too small. Don't know what to do with that area. Type C only leave the one facing T junction and Type B all sold out. Why type B sold out so fast?


Added on June 17, 2012, 6:20 amWent around kajang to check the SMD, viridian, tropicana cheras, mutiara villa, garden residence, nadayu 92, east park 72, jade hills, hijauan residence...the peak cheras and finally place my booking in TP... rolleyes.gif rolleyes.gif

Have been eyeing Twin Palms super-link (sub sale), really love the true G&G environment and resort feel.

Saw some sub-sale Semi-D at 1.4 Mil in iproperty.

What is the MAYA semi-d price now and any idea still available? Any discounts given?

TP is launching their Maya Semi-Detached Section 3 now and currently from what I know that the early bird discount are still eligible. Pricing would be about 1.5 mil to 1.6 mil.

When I was looking for a house I went around several places and TP is one of the place that left me with a very deep impression. Lots of greens, safe and quiet neighborhood, own clubhouse facility, a very nice concept indeed.

biggrin.gif Love the club house, quite environment, mountain, green feel, and u can even hear bird singing. Most important is feel so safe with the best G and G concept that I ever know so far. Can even go for night walk in the park, without safety concern.

Actually, $ 1 toll really not a concern at all. No jam, less car if u drive to or out from TP is one of the reason to place my booking in TP. When to see Mutiara villa side last Saturday and jam almost 15 minutes at the Giant U. Just imaging each time need to stuck in the jam just to eat a plate of wantan mee. ^^* better just store more maggie mee at home.

TP is launching Maya phase 3 which is last phase of Maya. I think still can get 75k discount, free MOT but got to pay the loan legal fees yrself.

Ultraman, welcome to TP! Dont worry about that wantan mee. The toll pay for itself. You will see in time. I went to SCB Kajang last saturday and got stuck just after coming out of Silk Highway. There is a major jam towards Tesco and it is a SATURDAY morning at about 10.30am.

I dont know about others but our family is happier and healthier after moving in. We don't feel the Rm1 toll if we plan all our trips in advance.

It has been raining these few days and YES, it does feels like Cameron Highlands. The money you saved from NOT switching on Air Con is enough to cover your toll.

The swimming pool and club feels like part of your house....an extension, if you like because most of the semids are within 5-8 mins walking distance.

Thanks Twin9.. Ya..love jogging, swimming, yoga and exercise so much. Was joining Fitness first and TLS fitness for few year. Even wake up 5 am everyday just to drive to KLCC to gym. Fall in love with TP 1st time see the club house. Should really go check out the jacuzzi facilities, so impress and well maintain.

The house design is very nice too. Imaging to sit at the garden early in the morning with a cup of coffee, reading newspaper, feel the wind blow, fresh air...clam and quiet, destress from busy weekday. Just like staying in resort ...(but this is yr house! Dun have to rush to check out tongue.gif )

For me, healthy lifestyle is important. Rather paying maintenance fees for club house, nice park, safety than spend money to look for doc later, right? biggrin.gif

Or if u like out door exercise, Saturday can always drive to Broga for hiking or BAndar Tun Razak to jog. Or watch midnight show in Jusco cheras selatan TGV which not so far to drive back later. For emergency case can always refer to Columbia hospital (quite important actually especially something can not foreseen) ^^*



Or can have a cup of

Ya, Jade hill is very nice too. nod.gif
Went there once with my parent. The sales lady drive us around, just not use to the open garden concept. Feel weird if someone walk pass by the garden or knock the front door without a layer of gate. But their house design is very nice too. ^^*

So, you prefer gated concepted in a g&g. Well I have pets and I love sunlight and PRIVACY! So, it is hard for me to live in a non gated g&g as I dont like drawing my curtains close.

In fact, I have not placed any curtains on my ground floor yet. completely bare so I could enjoy my garden and my dogs.

I have a silky terrier too. Very active and naughty boy. But I think he is going to like the garden very much. Ya, sunlight and privacy plus hilly feel is what TP projected.

I was actually attracted by the Cameron highland feel that u guys mention previously. Love cameron highland boh tea plantation and enjoy drinking coffee in Genting highland coffee bean too. Was looking for a place that able to give me that feeling, but very challenge till I found TP. smile.gif looking forward to move in...

LOL...cameron feel. Only sometimes, ok...don't expect 365 days. It can be freaking hot at certain days and nights too.

Yesterday was Jusco membersale at cheras selatan. Reached there, finished in under an hour and drove off for dinner, then home. So convenient!

Depending on which type.

What's the expected price for Maya Phase 3? What are the promotion there?
DIBS? Free S&P and loan legal fees? Discount? MOT free?

I prefer 4 rooms compare to 6 rooms or above. Dont really need that much of room, small family..^^*

Maya phase 3 I think around 1.5 to 1.6, $75k discount, free s n p but loan legal fees not included. Free MOT too.. Still got quite nice unit leave. But the bungalow sales is good..just have 5 unit leave and price apn 2.25 , 100k discount and free MOT, loan and snp legal fees.. Built up above 5000 sqft, but no swimming pool.. biggrin.gif

No matter how beautiful Twin Palms Kemensah is, it is useless unless you work around that area....or want to be close to city/KLCC.

No clubhouse for this haven.

Well true, but not exactly true.
Depending on people I would say. I like to be close to the city center and yet "feel" far away.
Because of the surroundings (Bukit Tabur), you get to enjoy a lot of greenery and somemore Bukit Tabur is listed into UNESCO.

Standard RM600 p.m for maintenance in TP Kemensah, all bungalows only.
How much maintenance in TP Sg Long?

To me, it is most important to have a jam free road to and from work. If I want to drive to "visit" the city, I can choose any off peak day/....but I cannot stand the stress of daily jams to work.

Sg. Long has lots of houses, I think can get RM900k for semid. Why twin palms? Just one of the many housing estates there. Desa Budiman has similar cooling environment.


Added on July 14, 2012, 11:58 amActually my cousin does not like TP because it has DMC and too strict. Cant do this, cant do that. He bought Taming Mutiara semid, can renovate the house to his heart content. No questions asked. Same security and quite safe. Only RM100+ a month. He built his own small lap pool and added a jacuzzi, outdoor shower for his kids. Best of all, toll free! He says the money saved from maint (about 250) monthly enough for security system, pay for pool, etc.

Btw, what is that picture shown with a pool with bubble? It's part of type B1?
And that building picture is for which Maya type?

Thanks bro. I like type A but don't know what to do with the grd floor and the guest room on first floor doesn't come with ensuite bathroom.

Yeah, can use it as studyroom or playroom for kids.

Groundfloor... Can use as guest living room or yumcha place, mahjong place hehe.
Or your own gym, home theater, but definitely not prayers' place if u r a buddhist.
Some said that it's not good to be there, it needs to be on the same level with your living hall.

nod.gif ya, my parent also think prayer place need to be same level with the living room. But ground floor is cool And chill, think can be a another reading area with a nice sofa bed for afternoon nap. tongue.gif

Some ppl also comment type A not suitable if yr house has Old folk cause need to Climb stairs but I think is manageable still. Not big concern. Still got 3 nice unit. One is the show house. If u really like it, can consider as maya phase 2 and 3 no more type A design.

Thanks Ultraman. I think going up one floor is manageable. Besides, it's good to walk up and down.

Wonder why TP Sg. Long is not really selling like hot cakes.

You could also put in a nice aquarium on groundfloor + some book racks.
And if you have kids, make them study on the groundfloor whereby there isn't any TV! smile.gif

Yeah, I am wondering as well why TP is not selling like hot cakes, when it is gifted with nice natural surroundings, very well neighborhood setup, a perfect place to raise a family, the access road to TP is smooth as well compared to Sungai Long. The only major drawback will be the toll.

Maybe most of the Malaysians just do not like to pay toll to leave their house. Other than that reason, I can't see why the price can't appreciate. The previous semi-D project (Arecca) was selling at about 1mil. Maya is only 300-500K appreciation. For other projects, I bet it will be close to 2mil.

Hmm... I think one of the reason TP Sg long not selling like hot cakes is the very passive marketing strategy. No news about 3th phase launching even though now u actually can book B2 and C2 type. But, no advertisement in the Newspaper too (at least, I don't see any yet). And, also no Durian fair or feng shui talk or any launching activities also. unsure.gif

But, actually the developer Lum Chong is quite ok and reasonable. At least, their sales person don't make me feel like I m their "Big water Fish" rclxms.gif when i visiting their show house. They didn’t hard sell or keep giving promise or sweet talk such as early bird discount just short period of time, many unit has been taken up by showing the orange sticker on the wall tongue.gif , or make up the price to 110% then give you 10% discount, so u can get 100% loan or DIBS or keep mention about free aircon la, auto gate lar.. (even though TP unit come with auto gate, solar heater, plaster ceiling etc), but they just mention the unit come with all this facilities not using "Free" word.

Ya, is quite nice dealing with them. At least, they make u feel they are honest and fair.

What I dont understand is that nobody complains when Puchong increase their launch price by 500k, but ppl expect to buy Sg. Long houses at stagnant prices of 2010....

And..when it was at RM800k-1mil from 2007 to 2010, nobody interested to buy then.

Many of us are still having the perception that Sg Long is a isolated and undeveloped area. Hence, it does not deserve price increase compared to hot area like Kinrara, BJ and Puchong. Another possibility pointed out by our forumer, projects in Sg Long in particular TP, did not have very aggressive marketing campaign like other developers eg. SP Setia.

Maybe we need some reputable and aggressive developers to invest their interest in this area such as building some prominent mall to get more attention. laugh.gif

Hoping that Centre Stage will follow a bit of Curve and attract better restaurants to this part of Jiu Lai.

Cheras Central is coming up but that is nearer to Leisure mall area.

I thought Centre Stage is at PJ section 13 area? Sg Long does not have a prominent mall to attract people to come to this area.

It was really a coincidence in my purchase. I was on the way to mahkota cheras but I missed the turning, so I am forced to drive all the way to TP to u-turn. That is when I stumbled upon TP and found out that the setup was great. I saw the bungalow along the side and semi-d on the opposite side, their design is modern and simple. In my mind, I am thinking this project is going to cost 1.5mil and above, at least, looking at the entire project setup.

However, a hunch is telling me to give them a call to find out the pricing and surprisingly, the SA told me there are still a few Areca units left which is priced at 1mil. At that moment, I thought 1mil is a reasonable price for a semi-d. So I and my wife went there the next day to have a look. The SA brought us around and show us the project.

As you say, it was the environment that both of us fall in love with. At that moment, I have not seen any G&G project that is equally impressive and affordable. I brought my parents for 2nd viewing and they are happy as well, so we decided to go with the booking. To me, paying the toll is not a major issue. There are lots of public amenities around the area.

I still don't think is about the price increased. More toward the starting price on 2010 already quite high..around RM900k. When the price reach >1.2M is consider nich market, especially the unit comewith RM 380 maintenancefees. Same apply to viridian, East park 72. Besides, people buy Maya mainly for own stay, not for investment as Lum chong do not provide package that attractive to the invester such as DIBS, 0% down payment etc.

Some say RM380 is way too expensive. I agree it is the highest in the low-mid income class area of Sg. Long where most will not even want to pay RM100 a month for security.

Actually, the pain is getting to us....another 1/2 year fees due...TODAY!


Added on July 16, 2012, 5:04 pmThe newer phases come with improvements ....that our older phases do not have.

Yeah TP price appreciation is very slow compared to other G&G projects. One thing good about this developer, they take the existing residents opinion into consideration before launching the new phase. Areca phase itself has multiple stages. The last stage of the Areca design was improved compared to the previous stage. such as redesigning the house porch and auto gate to fit 3 cards instead of 2.

Areca design has more room, 6+1, Maya just have 4 room plus 1. And wider stairs design with less steel use too.

Lum Chang probably will need to discuss with the authority to get the toll demolished or placed it behind the project so that the property price there can appreciate. I believe a lot of potential buyers are turned off by the toll.

Just wait for other sections at Kajang side to be completed, it will link toll free (not jam free) to Saujana Impian area. You won't like it, I promise you.

It will make the entrance to TP very jap as everyone else will escape via that road and you will lose the exclusivity.

Haha ... i am the one that making u-turn there and pay RM 1 toll too everyday. But have u guys really measure the time? I sometimes felt that it has not much difference in terms of timing either u take the road from belakong or making a u-turn from TP. Anyway, that's own my opinion and observation only. But i still make U-turn at TP and pay the toll since i am lazy to press the break.

Haha ... i am the one that making u-turn there and pay RM 1 toll too everyday. But have u guys really measure the time? I sometimes felt that it has not much difference in terms of timing either u take the road from belakong or making a u-turn from TP.  Anyway, that's own my opinion and observation only. But i still make U-turn at TP and pay the toll since i am lazy to press the break.
Already a lot of cars doing that now ... smile.gif

rclxms.gif I don't mind to drive far as long as no jam. Distance at least u can estimate the time still, but not traffic jam.

Why would the ppl making u turn at the round about cause TP to be chap and cheapo? It is NOT even inside TP.

Look at Bukit Jalil bypass now. Major jams everyday due to the LRT construction. Traffic almost to stand still. I got caught 30 mins there yesterday. The houses there should be cheapo now, right, but why not??

Since these ppl will have to pay tolls anyway if they want to u turn at TP, why not just move to TP and save the headaches of queing to get out of Sg. Long everyday?

I think it is not worth buying palmyra for close to a mill where you can buy the semid for RM1.4-5mil. Semid better value as the terrace houses have doubled already.

Ultraman, you are really an early bird!
I went to check out TP with my wife the other day. Everytime we go there, my wife just love it there.
She loves the environment, the semi-d design, the build up, and the spacious master bedroom design that Maya has to offer.

We are quite tempted to get a unit there (although it's slightly further away from the city).
It would definitely be a good environment for kids to grow up, safe & guarded.

However, I could only get 70% loan, let's see how to work this out.
And non-DIBS is a turn off.... sad.gif

smile.gif the sales person got give u discount? Ya, no DIBS, but the price not sky high if compare with semi D around such as east park72, viridian etc which started price already 1.6m.

But, dun think further away from city actually. Drive from sg long to mid valley is quite near, even nearer if drive to KLCC. What unit type u choose? U should visit the township at night. The club house is so exclusive if to see from the highway. thumbup.gif

The price psf is cheapest compared with similar semids around the area. Plus you get a clubhouse exclusively for your family. You can't get this anywhere in Sg. Long. The gardens are brightly lit at night so you can stroll or cycle at anytime you wish.


Added on July 27, 2012, 9:32 pmI think the DIBS is a barrier to investors. Most buy for own stay.

Where do you guys shop most of the time? Jusco Cheras Selatan?
I mean just for some groceries. I gues that's the closest, other than the convenient stores or "yok choi pou" in Sg. Long itself.

Ultraman, well, we went to see type A, and we like type B better (which is more conventional/traditional design).

There is a morning market in Bandar Sg. Long that is quite huge. Another smaller one in Balakong town. I usually do my weekly purchase at Tesco Kajang, where I do my banking, etc. Ya, quite a drive, but we are used to it. I got a huge freezer at home and don't mind eating frozen meat unlike most malaysians who prefer to shop for fresh meat daily.

There are NSK, Econsave, 2 Juscos, C4, and Giant if you want to drive further.

Dining and shopping would be at Bukit Bintang, Midvalley and the Curve...lol...yes...we are NUTS!

I seldom go to 1U and the Curve as they are really far away like 45 mins to 1 hour (door-to-door, including finding parking space...).

And the things that I want usually can get in Gardens, MV, Pavillion, etc. Normal groceries can just get in Giant, Tesco, Jusco, etc. Not too picky on that.

I have not been to 1U for the longest time. Reason to go to Curve is mainly Marche and Ikea. Since we take it as a "day trip" type of outing, it is ok.... not go there just to shop...lol.

As for normal shopping and dining, it is usually Midvalley and Pavilion.

Hardly go to Sunway now after moving to Sg. Long. Most of the shops are similar to Midvalley anyway.

TP only owns a small part. The rest of the hills belongs to others. If you want to keep the view, you have to buy close to forest reserve or else all hills will be developed eventually. Just pray you dont get surrounded by HTC like Cheras Hartamas!

The SA mentioned that TP Maya type A 1.44m, type B1 1.6m and type B2 1.538m to 1.628m (only left very limited units at that time, about 2 weeks ago......in fact SA took us for a tour to the units)

Whereas at JH, the SA told us the semi-d pricing from around 1.36m to 1.5m (we did not "tour" the show house as my wife complained "too far"), so we leave it as it's.

Took a look at Nadayu92 too......quite impressive ........pricing around 1.47m, but "quite near" to the HTC (you can see the the cables dangling high up in the air)

Still, TP remain our first choice (but not much units left) because of the traffic, security and resort-like living BUT it's more than RM1m........so
need to think it over and look-see-look-see (HAHA!)

Sorry, cannot recall the price but definitely above RM1.6m.

Bro, for house above 1.6m do you consider 50K or 75K as discount? (LOL)

Anyway, TP is definitely our first choice but considering the price we still undecided yet ! FYI, we've visited and seen JH, Nadayu92, Mutiara Villa, Tropicana Cheras and a host of others .....and TP wins hands-down in term of security, access, resort-like living, etc. Negative points .......you need to stock up your fridge, like bro Twins9 used to mention !

biggrin.gif ok, last time the sales agent told me got 75k discount. They call it discount any way. But, buyer got to pay bank loan agreement.

Seem like most of the ppl choose TP because of the same reason. Actually JH is nice too. Did u consider JH?

I recalled the day when I went over there, this young couple (I reckoned in their late 20s or early 30s) went over to pay deposit ! Phew ! Why got so many people born with silver (or rather golden) spoon ?

The sales is definitely not in BBB mode like other projects, partly because lack of aggressive marketing, attractive buying terms such as DIBS, need to pay toll whenever exiting your home. However, you can't deny their design and setup of the entire neighbourhood is top notch. IMHO, just a handful of G&G which is at the par with TP in KV.

I got 2 fridges and a big freezer so I only shop once a week but I still go out daily....no savings on toll....lol..

Just went out to market for breakfast and bought 20 bags of soil for garden....still not enough! I guess I have bought 100 bags or more of soil already!

LOL. Should have thought of the whole load earlier. We couldnt decide how to landscape the small patch. After renovation, our tiled floor area was way higher so we had to fill up the garden soil to match.

The bags of soil was for the concrete planter.

Just threw in 15 bags in the planter again as my heliconias are leaning down too much. I think need to add again to fill up to the brim before the tall plants can stand straight.

Both my neighbours have just renovated their gardens again...we are forever adding features and upgrading....


Added on August 8, 2012, 6:58 amOne fridge for the bar, drinks and snacks.

One for main kitchen which I brought from old house as it was only 2 years old. When it kaput, I will upgrade to a larger fridge. Now it is only 630 litres size.

I recalled the day when I went over there, this young couple (I reckoned in their late 20s or early 30s) went over to pay deposit ! Phew ! Why got so many people born with silver (or rather golden) spoon ?

The sales office is beside the pool area and that's a positive sales pointer!

Agree on that, last time I went there also feel the SA very lc. It's like they don't bother to sell, if you want to buy then buy otherwise don't disturb me. Completely different compared to Jade Hills, the SA there is super helpful and eager to sell. thumbup.gif

The sales is definitely not in BBB mode like other projects, partly because lack of aggressive marketing, attractive buying terms such as DIBS, need to pay toll whenever exiting your home. However, you can't deny their design and setup of the entire neighbourhood is top notch. IMHO, just a handful of G&G which is at the par with TP in KV.

Probably also due to high monthly maintenance cost. But i really like the environment there.
Visited their 2 story terest house about a year ago. Did not buy it coz the unit is located right in front of TNB sub station.

Haha ... i also usually wear shorts and tshirts only ... and if not mistaken, that time i am still driving a local car that is more than 10 years. I can't remember which car i drove but the sales girl macam a bit malas nak layan us. We ask this and that, she just said "All SOLD OUT" ... something like that then she went back to her work and we just walk one round and we left the place. But one thing is that i look very young as a lot of ppl always misjudge my age. But based on u guy's feedback, they aren't that bad anyway. So will go visit them again just to see see look look.

Just to share our "funny experience" when buying TP. We actually made a wrong turn after viewing Taming Mutiara. At that time Taming was RM800k with extra land.

We went up there dressed casually and didnt know what to expect. We were surprised there were still units available and we were given a tour around the housing area in a golf cart. First house was the Areca 2 storey SD. My spouse did not like the design at all. Then the Arecca 2.5 storey SD-gorgeous double garden type-2 sizes... Well, need to wait for 1 year for Phase 2 to finish. As we were leaving, the SA asked if we would like a West facing unit, CF ready, etc.

We were then taken for a 2nd tour in the cart and view the completed house we bought. After looking at it, we decided on the house because of.....

1. instant house...no waiting.
2. Outdoor shower room.
3. Guest room on ground floor for visiting in laws. (maid room just next door)
4. Enclosed kitchen....... less messy than our current open dry kitchen concept.

She was surprised we bought on the same day because usually other families would take a few days to decide on a huge purchase.

Well, the maint cost includes club facilities....which will cost you at least Rm100 per person per month which may not have swimming pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. We calculated that 3 of us will have to pay Rm300 per month, so just RM80 for the security which is reasonable!

My son got a complimentary 1 month free pass at True Fitness but only managed to visit it once as driving thru and fro, parking, etc is a pain.

At least we have family time 3x a week at the club. It is a more of a landed low density condo lifestyle. Just ask how much condo fees are nowadays...! Mostly 30 sens psf. Ours is about 10 sens psf.


Added on August 8, 2012, 6:54 pmGreatest regret is still not buying Garden Residence or putting up a braveheart to buy the bungalows at TP - launch price was only Rm1.8mil with RM50k discount!

Somehow twins9, you "funny experience" is quite similar. I also missed the turn to go to Mahkota Cheras and stumbled upon TP. Lucky you then, able to get such a nice semi-D unit at such a nice price. I believe it was about 900K that time.

The SA that married the GM is Joceyln, I think but she left after cny 2012.

Eh, that time I bought was close to Rm1mil already, maybe my negotiation skills were bad...I got the 3907 sq ft arecca.

They were selling all sort of diff prices from 2009, as the sales were very slow then, some got corner unit with extra land for Rm1mil too....20 ft extra land and huge built up of 4600 sq ft!

Sigh...timing is everything.

Anyone ask if TP has Conquas standard for the houses? I didnt even know about this till I read Mah Sing write up about Conquas standard. Just asked my brother in law (civil engineer) to check the house before we signed SPA. He said building quality way above normal malaysian standard....very straight corners, 90 deg turns, etc.

Yup, 2009. I bought in June 2010 also missed it all. And...I read someone here "refused" to pay the Rm300k-400k "increase".....well.

TP's appreciation is way slower than others, e.g. Garden Residence, which saw their semid rose from 800k to Rm1.6mil.

So, an increase of Rm300-400k for TP is worth it if you are buying to stay, though I dont think the palmyra super links are worth buying as they have doubled!


Added on August 9, 2012, 11:08 amThough ours is 3907 sq ft, I dont see the "extra" as it has too many corners, cut ins and the hated internal voids (we got 2!) If the desginer has incorporated the air vents/lights with the staircase, there would be no need for a void! The other design has full height glass which makes the staircase looks GRAND!

So, an increase of Rm300-400k for TP is worth it if you are buying to stay, though I dont think the palmyra super links are worth buying as they have doubled!


Added on August 9, 2012, 11:08 amThough ours is 3907 sq ft, I dont see the "extra" as it has too many corners, cut ins and the hated internal voids (we got 2!)  If the desginer has incorporated the air vents/lights with the staircase, there would be no need for a void!    The other design has full height glass which makes the staircase looks GRAND!
*
But, i heard that garden residence near to some Petrol warehouse which is like 500 m from the residence area. Not so safe to stay. hmm.gif

The current Maya type A design is open concept, no diverder to separate the living hall and dry kitchen. Then another "open" area for wet kitchen too. You can close the wet kitchen from dry kitchen by putting a glass sliding door in between.

Good point is your living hall look very spacious but some ppl might thing a bit messy if you didn't tiddy up the kitchen with enough cabinet.

DO u notice any crack wall or rusty or uneven floor/ wall when u check the house?

Wall cracks are just hairline. Some minor water marks. They fixed everything and will come whenever you call them during the year. Usually within 24 hours. The wood floor had lots of scratches, so they polished and lacquered it again.

No cracked tiles or uneven flooring...so far so good. The concrete ceiling is damn hard. Dont even try drilling a hole to fix your lights unless you have heavy duty drills.

The walls are quite solid too. Not easy to drill through unlike my old house which used sand bricks.


Added on August 9, 2012, 8:51 pmEh...just came back from mad KL today. What a messy day! All highways clogged up. Getting on the SILK highway was like a private highway welcoming us home. That is why we hardly ever go out nowadays. Why stress when we can de stress at home?

That is if you have a very nicely renovated house, with everything you need in it. Then, you can just enjoy at home.
Well, I guess for family man, staying in house is the best though (at least for me, hehe).

Man... the more I look at this thread, the more I feel like buying a house in Twin Palms. How how how?!!

Well, after a while the malls are just so boring. My house is not nicely renovated as others as I prefer easy maintenance and not all walls decorated.

The rooms allow us lots of privacy. Ground floor guest room n maid room...guest can use the TV downstairs and quite self contained.

First Floor is our family room, extra guest room, home office, son's room and the 2nd floor is only one huge space...reserved for my spouse and me.

Everyone is very happy with the calm and quietness, especially the cool air...hardly need aircon except few hours on a hot day. The ground floor is so cool, the 2 airconds are just for show. My guest room has no air con either...not needed.

Closed up kitchen has its advantages. No slaving over every little mess and saves lots of aircon cooling energy!

You will be surprised at how many men in our neighbourhood prefer to stay home and they are not old either...lol!

After yesterday major jam (took me 4 hours to reach home), I am really gonna planning my shopping and dining trips carefully.

The jams started at The Curve and ended after Midvalley....totally stopped.

arhhh!!! same too!!! The more i read the more i imagine myself staying in such houses too!! But no $$ Buy ... sad.gif ... how to get such house in future? Now already selling so expensive sad.gif
But to be honest, my house is actually more than enough for us to stay now but not in the future like 10 years down the road if we have kids and etc. My plan is to redo the house probably add one more floor but that would depend on the mindset during that time. I still prefer a house that have some space outside so semi-d or a corner unit is perfect. I don need a bungalow ... lol

Ultra, my contractor is traditional chinese (non designer type). He only does the wetworks, tiling, no plumbing or wiring.

I would highly recommend him when your unit is ready. Mine is the normal 3 storey type, not the split garden type...

No water features yet as I have dogs and they are a handfull already. There are a few good IDs around our area, I could recommend you my friend too, but they may be too busy with hotel projects now.

I didn't engage an ID...paiseh.


Added on August 10, 2012, 11:34 amRm10k to book a unit and 10% when you sign the SPA. For Rm1.3mil, it would be Rm10k plus RM120k, mine was 10%, I dont know if they accept 5%, have to ask the new buyers.

As our unit was completed, we just paid the 10% on spa (aug 2010), wait for bank loan to clear and then we got our keys in Oct 30, 2010. We had very minor renovations (mainly exterior tiling works) and moved in March 2011.

this is why their sales is quite slow, if they use the low down payment tricks like other developers, sure all BBB tongue.gif

Good! Good, please pm me the contactor & ID's contact number. But, do i still need to do plumbing and wiring since the house is like almost complete with all the basic work.

I'm thinking of get myself a nice garden with water features & pergola too. So, looking around for a good landscape nursery.

That would be the total cost of my current house value! Everything paid by CASH! + a Fancy renovation on the house bro! Orang Kaya ni smile.gif (But based on the value of the house back in year 2008 la) haha ...
I am also a person that don like go shopping and clubbing as most of my time is also spent in the house or just go badminton every week and shopping also just like once a week during the weekend at jusco cheras selatan. I am not old yet, but i am just worried when it's my time then it will be too late to own such houses anymore. Such a sad case for ppl like us!

I have to totally agree with you on that. A house we called home. In fact my wish is not to own a big house or anything but a home that we all can stay comfortably where everyone have the sufficient private space when needed and also a common place were everyone can gather around smile.gif A big house need high maintenance and probably need 1 - 2 maids if the owner are a bit lazy to do housework (such as me and my wife) ....

Lock the toilet? So cruel? HAHA! Later emergency apa macam? smile.gif Jk btw.
But if ur house don't have many ppl walking around. I think mopping the floor once a week by part time maid is sufficient. We solely rely on the part time maid for now but sometimes i have to do the mopping since last few weeks my house got at least 7 adults + 1 baby + 1 dog walking around. I cannot tahan sticky floor.

And furthermore, if your mother is staying with u, i guess she can help up too? Or train up ur kids to do the house work. hehe!

Usually miniature dog very easy to handle only. Even if they sometimes accidentally done their "Business" in the house also very easy to clean it up. And as long as u make sure u bring them out for a morning walk and evening walk then they will hold it till u bring them out only they will do their "business".

Just wondering, is TP a lot of dog owners? Did they practice picking up their pet's poo when they bring them to walk? How about the parks there? Are they allowed to bring pets?

Hire a maid? smile.gif Really envy you bro on getting the Maya type A, you can move-in in about one year's time.

thumbup.gif Not that I don't want to buy, but I will be out of the country for at least 2 years starting end of the year. So, not too sure if I should actually buy this now, and then, go live in when Maya Phase 3 is completed.

wei, I am not ambassador of TP here....ok.

Lots of dogs owners here. Some are actually allowing the dogs to poo and we are playing spies to catch them on camera. You are allowed to bring your dogs out on leash and will need to pick up their droppings.

My dogs are kept in the compound 24/7, my black one did a few Houdinis, now permanently tied up unless we are downstairs so he could play around...poor ******* getting FAT.

Whenever the lengchai dog (guard dog) walks by, all the dogs bark like crazy so the management decided to avoid our street at night as it gets TOO NOISY!

Contractors are supposed to finish work by 5.30pm and leave before 6pm or get hustled out by the guards.

Sat work only till 2pm and strictly no contractor work on Sunday.

Most residents here use part time maids.

Actually, there are quite a number of G&G around, not necessary TP....take your pick.

Mutiara Villa further up in Kajang is also just off the highway and toll free. It is quite nice and they will have a clubhouse too. Prices are reasonable, why dont you try to book one?

Contractors are supposed to finish work by 5.30pm and leave before 6pm or get hustled out by the guards.

Sat work only till 2pm and strictly no contractor work on Sunday.

Most residents here use part time maids.

Actually, there are quite a number of G&G around, not necessary TP....take your pick.

Mutiara Villa further up in Kajang is also just off the highway and toll free.  It is quite nice and they will have a clubhouse too.  Prices are reasonable, why dont you try to book one?

Haha ... but u can share a bit of ur real experience ma smile.gif

Seems like a business opportunity for the part time maid ya smile.gif

wei, I am not ambassador of TP here....ok.

Lots of dogs owners here.  Some are actually allowing the dogs to poo and we are playing spies to catch them on camera.  You are allowed to bring your dogs out on leash and will need to pick up their droppings.

Ok, will contact you later once I have a word with them. Any budget for ID and wetworks?

Why you guys so interested in TP and not JH? Their gardens are SO much nicer...ours are just rows and rows of houses like many others.


Added on August 10, 2012, 4:53 pmOh...for those of you planning to renovate, forget about buying interior deco magazines.

Try out this site.... www.houzz.com You can choose the pics you like and file them in your idea file. All FREE and there are thousands of pics there....no point buying magazines anymore.

Junction unit is a unit which face directly a junction?
Or it is just a corner unit in a row of semi-D?

But if only junction unit available, then sure avoid taking it.

My friend bought a really facing junction unit along my row. The house is at the bottom of a slope L shape, not T shape. They used feng shui sifu to change the location of the front door, etc. As our taman has very few cars, the chance of someone driving into the house is quite low.

I love Maya C the most because of the extra land. After looking at all the out kitchen/bbq areas at Houzz, I regret not buying a corner unit or unit with extra land.

I like the idea of outdoor kitchen or BBQ if Malaysia has seasonal weather where you can enjoy the nice and cooling weather outdoor. But Malaysia is so hot and humid. To me, having outdoor BBQ is suffering than enjoying. I will be sweating like mad. laugh.gif

If the place is infested with mosquitoes, spacious garden will become a worse nightmare than a small garden. My parents house back in hometown is a typical example. We had a big compound but never walk around because too many mosquitoes.

I also don't know the exact name. Just go to those nursery tell them you want 'Mosquitoes repel' plant, they will know.
If not mistaken RM10-12 per plant only.

Aiseh! That is really wasted. Hope they still have some other units.

Well, the area is surrounded by green hills. We have netting in the house, but not outside. Actually, those plants worked if you have lots of them. Some type of geranium but hard to maintain...die easily.

Mosquito coils and those long prayer coils keep mosquitoes away.


My neighbours bomb the whole area with spray, and light mosquito coils. Seems to work.

Understand from the SA, it will not block the mountains view from Swimming pool. The house will build at the empty land beside the road from main door all the way up to the club housee entrance. The house will be facing the bungalow outside, mean the back door will be facing the road.

Nope I got one of the last unit in Areca phase, I think 2 months before Maya is launched. I do not really like 3 storeys semi-D. To me, it is too large to maintain. smile.gif

So far away from my house! I will have to drive there....lol..

Ok, can shortcut through the linear park...

2 storey arecas are so nice. No need to climb stairs. I wish the areca has less corners and built wider like the mayas...but you cant have everything!

That would NOT be fair, as they can come over to use the facilities on our side. We also pay the full maintenance as they do...so should enjoy the whole Taman instead of just the "poor men" side....

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.
*
Replying to a very OLD post! TP vs JH...again!

Sumarising Jade Hill Positives...
Large green area, fewer houses per acre, lots of gardens and lakes.
Huge clubhouse with better facilities.
Toll free and no going through tunnels.

Eh..I agree with most of the JH plus points, but why going to tunnel before TP is a negative?? I agree with the toll.... blush.gif

TP's semi-d side is quite dense, but the bungalows side is really beautiful.

JH's huge clubhouse is great - no comparison. But...the bathrooms and change rooms do not have that 5-star boutique hotel feel of TP. The mens room has sauna and women room has steam....but tp has complete sauna, steam room and jacuzzi for both sexes to enjoy and the spa facilities section is fully airconditioned! Not to forget toilets on every floor plus full shower and change room facilities just outside the gym as well. The view from the gym room is priceless... I can see both the swimming pool and the cloudy mountains beyond. The MPH is fully aircond, so you can enjoy your games in comfort.


I dont know about others but I look for little obsure points like these... icon_rolleyes.gif ...picky me.

And...to us at least.... since the clubhouse is just a few mins walk away, we "pretend" the clubhouse is part of our house.... wub.gif

I don't think so. Have you been to MV's site? The so called long stretch park is a joke. The width is so short, take a few steps, reach the border fence already. The sales tactic is also a joke. They will say and show you it's sold out, but still bring you to the site to gauge your interest. Then will call you later after you've left, and conveniently says oh...there are still units available.....someone dropped out/loan not approved.

To get to Tesco/Kajang/Cheras/KL, you will normally get stuck in a jam due to the traffic lights (at the junction between Persiaran Saujana Impian and Persiaran Impian Perdana). And this is not even rush hour yet!

I've been to TP many times and it's way much better than MV. If you say TP is losing out to MV, then I have nothing else to say since you're living there.

LOL, thanks, let me rephrase.... TP may be "losing out"... well. I have never been there to actually check out the site but in terms of amenities, I could see a huge pasar tani just outside. Got mcdonalds, banks, and several shops around without actually going out. Tesco, Giant are quite near too.

And the sales are more BBB than TP!

100% agreed! TP is far better , if to compare just the entrance already can not beat. Nowaday, to get a Taman near by to bank, pasar tani, shop lot, low cost flat iis way much easy than to get an gorgeous entrance like TP. smile.gif

The linear garden joins ALL the phases. You can access through any phase by walking along the tree lined paths of the linear garden. One end is the clubhouse while the other end, across a road, is the pond garden.

There are also pocket gardens just after the guard house and walkways all around TP.

The rain is finally here and our trees are so happy!

Well, if one stays at TP and drives through the same surroundings it isn't difficult to not notice just how nice the place is.

Go on a holiday or a working trip for a week or two, come back and you'll learn to appreciate the place again.


Having said that, things can still be improved further, and it does seem that the secondary market sales has slowed somewhat?

Be frank, after check around most of the taman in Kajang, I really don't see any reason why people don't like TP. From the nice acess road, strategy location, gorgeous entrance, well train guard, CCTV in place, hilly view, surrounded by green and fresh air, well maintain club house with hotel standard facilities (after 4 years still maintain in good condition), beautiful & just nice linear park, (too big sometime can be quite scary too if not enough light installed or less people around).

Again, I really don't see why that RM 1 toll become an issues as we pay toll everyday, and Silk highway really give TP some much convenience.

Mad, you have free view of garden! So nice to be facing large open spaces...


Added on August 22, 2012, 12:18 pmI would like the entrance to be improved, especially the one just off the highway. It is too hidden.

Nearest competitors to us would be upcoming Sunville, Mutiara Villa and Tropicana Cheras. Let see how they turn out to be.


Added on August 22, 2012, 12:36 pmActually, I don't like TP to be too affordable or else there will be lots of investors who buy and rent out to foreigners. One of the plus issues here is that terrace houses are very rare, only 66 units and NO condos,townhouses or duplexes will be built. That is also one of the main reasons why we bought TP.

We were looking at Lagenda Mas but my spouse dislike the townhouses built in the same area as the sd and bungalows.

Twin9,
That time i was checking type C and type A. Finally decided to go for type A partly due to its facing open spaces. smile.gif

Another reason don't choose type C is the ground floor living hall view has been blocked by small mountain. But the SA told me that there will be another development project (I think is sunvilla) in progress where eventually, they will cut the small mountain in front and turn it into a inner road. So, your unit will be facing the road after that.

Personally I love type C master room bathroom design. Open shower room..and its bigger than type A. smile.gif

Added on August 22, 2012, 8:03 pmHouzz.com is really incredible, but I have some probs now...always snap and won't allow me to open full page when I am on slideshow view. Used to be able to view in full screen but now always revert back to small size when I flip pages....damn...

But, still really beautiful pics and great ideas .... I found this website AFTER I moved in... or else would had designed my space better!

Well, this happen in ALL housing estates. They have to hand over sooner or later.

Water stains from rain is not a major problem. Not more than what you get on your patio, balcony or garden.

Open bathroom stains usually from soap/shampoo residue. I plant my open bathroom, like a mini garden. Very refreshing to shower in there, so good that I totally ignore the bathtub and the inner shower room!

Open bathroom stains usually from soap/shampoo residue.  I plant my open bathroom, like a mini garden.  Very refreshing to shower in there, so good that I totally ignore the bathtub and the inner shower room!

So nice to have an open bath room smile.gif
Maya type C only have an open bath room. Type A just normal design...cannot have everything in... sweat.gif

thanks for the tip! gonna have a go at the open bathroom this weekend!

as for the handover to the JMC, there is plenty of time to prepare. The current residents can get together even now to get things going and some from the facebook community have been doing this even now smile.gif

not all JMCs fail, some do superbly well, but of course, it takes effort.

What is the meaning of not properly maintained? This is just a middle income 9-5 office ppl housing estate. Once a while have some grass cutting, fogging and daily security should be ok.

If you want manicured gardens you have to pay more to get Jade Hills.

They are quite lazy in cutting the slopes. Always have overgrown lallang.

My neighbour house was unoccupied and after many complains, they cut the grass once in 3-4 months...I wonder if they charge to houseowner's maintenance bill or not.

I think it is very reasonable, even they charge. That is better than having a messy look even the house is empty.

Many buyers are willing to pay more for toll free access. TP prices also Rm1.5mil already....so buying toll free houses at slightly higher prices make perfect sense.

Others would prefer to pay lower maint fees as the new launches have no club houses. Maint fees are about half of TP... I guess.

How much they need to collect if just total 32 unit to share the maintenance fees? East park 72 with total 72 units was asking RM600 per month without club house.


Added on September 8, 2012, 10:32 amWent to sg long pasar to buy some fresh vege, fruit and visit DVD stall uncle to buy some DVD for movie marathon later. Drive back used silk highway, pass by twin palm..feel the "cameran" fresh air, quietness and windy environment. Love the hilly part of kajang so much... ^^**

What are the offers of buying a semi D at twin palm, other than the 75k discount. I understand stamping fees is waived as well, right? How about legal fees?

The best offer would be from Tropicana Cheras....a whopping 13% discount plus long list of freebies, etc....save you almost Rm200k in total.

If you want TP, need to call the SA for details.

What i understand from the SA is around RM600 per month. He can't tell the exact figure cause need to wait the residence to form community then engage security company.

But, the flood in JH very serious! I start to worry about my unit in TP since there is a pond nearby too. @@""

Possible flood in TP?

Of course TP may flood, but the whole of KL may already be under water by then.

If you look at TP from the Silk Highway, is it lower than the highway?

Anything can happen anywhere these days in Malaysia. What used to be forests on hills are now barren. Soil erosion causes lakes/rivers/drainage to become shallow/blocked. Flood can be in isolated places no matter what the altitude is.

I really cant see where TP semid side can flood. Yes, the funnel and the roundabout side TP has flooded before. There is no development higher than TP. The Sunville may cause floods but I think it will flow down the valley than Up to TP..

Kampung Kantan (opp) is quite notorious for floods.

As for land slides...that .... even IOI cannot eliminate 100%. Look at their Bandar Puteri 9 project.


I have not seen any major waterflow on the road even in the heaviest of rainstorms.... we lose to JH liao.

we pay toll mah.

but i seriously don't quite mind paying cause it saves me the trouble of going thru the morning jams.

although having to pay RM1 every time you wanna go makan memang tak syok a bit, but that honestly only adds like 10 ringgit max (weekends only, weekdays have to go out kerja anyways) per month.

i don't have kids so unless i tangan gatal wanna go shopping there is little need to travel otherwise.

i would think that the landscaping/maintenance dept has slipped slightly below its usual high standards though, the trees in front of our individual units that they changed sometime last year are drying out!!!


Ah about the flood, it was back in december 2011. very very heavy downpour and the tunnel connecting the two parts was flooded. Impatient as i normally am, i drove my myvi thru it, only just managed to cross but when i parked back at my house there was water coming out the grill! Quite deep it was, and luckily she did not stall.

Complained to LC, they were very apologetic and responsive. notworthy.gif Hasn't been flooded since, and the rains have been much heavier at times.

Coffer refer to the toll huh. Agree with you madmoz as the sum is not significant.

Yes, i complain about the maintenance of the landscape during my last 2 visits to there. But both the sales person does not seems to be bordered.
Perhaps, current community there should raise their complain too, in order to get a better maintenance which i used to see there 2 years ago.

Actually, when more phases come out the maintenance fee shall be reduced as they share the same utilities, such as the club house. And i wonder will they increase the guard force?

Hi guys,
Need some advice. I was thinking of change the ground floor tile to wooden flooring like the stairs. But, i just noticed that LC gave a very high qualiy material by providing timber flooring instead of laminated floor, which is very much expensive. Checking with the contractor ifni want to cover the whole floor with timber flooring, it cost around 20k!! Question is, i need to buy the same batch of timberr flooring material from the developer. How u guys manage this? Thanks

I like the 2x2 tiles on ground floor, at least dont have to worry about scratches and damp.

I still dont know how to maintain my wood floors scratch free!

The wood floors are very nice and warm to the touch. My friend has free laminated wood floors from developer but it feels like walking on plastic.

I dont think the maintenance fee can be reduced as they divide it with 600 houses and not phase by phase. Imagine the first 100 houses paying for all the facilities....Rm1k a household may not be enough! Now LC is subsidising (so I was told).

This is not a RA type...when hand over, then we can review and cut cost without cutting quality.

Usually timber flooring is not recommended at living hall due to maintenance problem.

Went to see Tropicana Cheras. No where compared to TP. No one is struggling to move out of TP and it's not known for robberies and traffic jams. TP is most definitely one of the best places to live, to raise kids, to grow old and to enjoy and relax like in a resort.

Ask him to name his house, then I can check with management and come back with an answer about his allegations.

I really dont know where is Cheras Town or drive towards town...too vague.

I usually leave my house around 6.30am and there is no jam except for slight slowdown at Mines turnoff.

No where is 100% safe. Did you guys read about the recent robbery/murder at Taman Segar perdana where the guards did not know anything till the victim friends came in to check?

Even the palace has small thefts. But this poster said EVERYONE in his neighbourhood is Serious allegation.

Aye, 30 to 40 minutes tops, provided we leave by 7.45am. Only bottlenecks would be near the Mines and the turning into kuchai.

Of course there are days when the jam is terribly long for no apparent reason.

Getting to my office after breakfast is another story altogether sad.gif

One more thing - travel tip; get a smart tag.

U will face jam if u drive to the sg long.. but if u use the silk highway.. it is smooth as silk until maybe after tanming jaya

Ak28, if you work at Subang, how to get to work from TP? Better choose GR. GR is very close to Kajang and the road is smooth and jam free.

So, GR would be a good compromise for you n yr wife.

Only thing is that you cant use the facilities till next year but as they are not included like TP, you wont be paying anyway.

The facilities at GR is charge separate. Security fees itself is RM360 if not mistaken. They have not decided yet on the clubhouse fee. TP is better on this as it is 1 lump sum of RM380 for the clubhouse & security

MS replied to us (in 2010) not sure how much clubfee will be...maybe Rm2k a year, etc, really scared us cos this is a long time commitment. If you dont join the club, then buy a house with no club facilities....save more money.

That is also why we bought TP...no need to guess how much to pay and when will GR club open.

If Rm360 a month with no facilities, it is ULTRA expensive man.

Hopefully, we can welcome you as a future neighbour! thumbup.gif

Added on September 20, 2012, 9:00 amComing back to GR, maintenance fees @360x12=RM4320 plus club fees Rm2k = RM6320 a year. The charges are close to those high end condo! About Rm526 a month. If the club fees include ALL in the household and you have a BIG family, then it is worth it.

MS replied to us (in 2010) not sure how much clubfee will be...maybe Rm2k a year, etc, really scared us cos this is a long time commitment.  If you dont join the club, then buy a house with no club facilities....save more money.

That is also why we bought TP...no need to guess how much to pay and when will GR club open.

If Rm360 a month with no facilities, it is ULTRA expensive man.

Hopefully,  we can welcome you as a future neighbour!  thumbup.gif


Added on September 20, 2012, 12:15 amFuture neighbours .... adding Lion and AK??

true.. that's y my wife prefers TP as everything is established. Myself is 50/50 as I like the GR's split design but feels that the security fee is too expensive. Will need to do some more survey, who knows i may b a future neighbour. biggrin.gif

GR is Mah Sing iconic development in Cyberjaya. You can see it if you drive to KLIA via puchong or Kajang....Garden Residence.

Have they started building the clubhouse yet?

The 3 initial phases are near VP.

May I know what are the rates for g&g around this area...
Rm120 for Taming mutiara?
Eastpark - Rm300 or RM600?
Tropicana Cheras - about Rm100?
Sunville - heard about Rm300 too
Jade Hills about 300
Mutiara Villa - no idea
Wira Heights ?
Sejati Heights - about Rm200?
hao Residence?
Country Heights?
Gita Bayu?
Hijauan Residence?
Lagenda Mas?
the Peak Cheras?


dont include those RA type of G&g which can be as low as Rm30/month. Thanks.

I think TP is one of the most expensive in this area but includes facilities.

I think the chow chow now knew that he/she is barking at the wrong place. So kept quiet leow. Seems like it's funny reading all the information he/she provided in terms of the break in. Hmm .... hmm.gif

May be he/she mistakenly thought TP = Taman Puk*m*k (where he/she is staying now)

On a serious note, if your allegations were true, you should do all of us a favour by reporting to the management and post up in facebook so we know what steps to take .....who knows, the management may have known of all the break ins and whole street robberies without telling the rest of the residents to protect their poor security and TP sales.

As a responsible resident, you should at least do that instead of posting here without details.

I will check out with the management if I go to clubhouse today...


As I said, nowhere is 100% safe. If it were small thefts, then we can ask management to increase the height of the walls, add guards, cameras and other protective measures.

Whole street and ppl struggling to move out is SERIOUS!

just for sharing
Jadehill maintenance fees 300 ( but excluding club house of 95 ( per family))
Gita bayu I am paying 330 per month for townvilla (security + club house facilities)
Country Height townhouse is Rm250 per month

of the three, I think best security is jadehill ( with hundred of cctv) , but the price Rm300 is not very friendly for local retired people ( yes, jade hill got many retired people , still 40% are local ah pek and ah ma)

I went to the last row last week and saw all the roads cleaned up. I think they may have opened up the fence by now. Very nicely done there. Some of the houses have really deep driveways!

Wish I had bought one of those...no headaches about parking cars.

How big are the Areca with 2 floors? 3600 sq ft?

My unit is also at the last row. When I signed my S&P that time, I recalled that the SA did mention my unit may VP'ed at a later time together with Maya first phase because the distance is quite near to each other. They do not want us to move in and get interrupted by the construction.

I am wondering whether ivanlim84 is also at the last row.

Once our whole family went out without closing the gate. The guard called me to let me know but we couldn't come home until about 1 pm. We were out since 8 am. Our very efficient guard promised to keep an eye on our house without me asking him to do so. When we came home, everything was as how it was including my folding bike which wasn't even locked. This is how wonderful TP is.

I really hope there'll be no more lies about TP.

Probably as deposit for renovation work. Or else if one damage the public facilities/access during reno, the management can recover from there.
But I don't understand why maintenance fees need advance 6 months do long

I think reno is a seperate deposit and this 6 months deposit is in case you are not paying and they can't reach you.

The reno deposit is 5k if I am not wrong.

I think you would need to fork out 12 months worth of maintenance when collecting the keys but 6 months will be withheld and another 6 months will be the advance maintenance bill

Yup Rm4800+ 5000 when collect key if you are submitting your renovation plans immediately. You can pay your renovation deposit when you are ready to renovate.

Congratulations, Palmers!

Once you pay your maint fee, next collection would be 6 months from now.

For those already staying there, your battery for the car remote control can be changed at Radio Shack at Rm9.50 each.

Renovation ideas...try this...

I mean I don't watch astro. Of course, we have Astro.

The car remote scanner is for the boom gate at the guard house. First 1 year free, then you need to change battery yourself.

Yup. 6 months deposit for maint fee + 6 months advance payment.

RM380 x 6 + RM380 x 6 = RM4560 plus quit rent of RM33.

All I have to pay RM4593 (can do it in one cheque). They didn't allow us to pay by credit card (to earn points).

Reno depot would be 5k but I guess I will not be that fast as I am still busy with other things. However, I will start gathering some ideas now plus maybe, enjoy the clubhouse since I will be paying it every month.

You get back the deposit within 2 weeks once you write to them that renovations are completed.

@ivanlim84,

Did you get a phone call from the developer directly about your house VP or you get to know it through the letter?

I got to know bout it through letter. There are 2 letters. 1 is normal mail and another is registered mail where they will attach the VP. After that I called them and they told me to wait coz need to wait for the bank to release the payment.

Update from today:

Called Fab Range to check whether the bank have released the payment and...... YES! The bank have cleared. So, tmr I will go and settle all the necessary deposits and advance payment. Might get the key within this week or next week.

It seems to me the 12 months maintenance fee to pay upon VP is a bit over.
No wonder they are a cash rich developer.

I am used to it. My ex condo collects a year in advance.

BTW, our Honda Showroom just got hit! 4 cars drove off. The honda Showroom is near Legend Kitchen!
