I promised to post after moving in and it's been almost 1 year living
in Olives.
1. Price.
Subang Olives is still among the less expensive condo's in PJ or
Subang Jaya. 20-30% less. Bear in mind though that it's gazetted under
commercial and not residential. Water, Cukai Tanah, Assessment will be
charged accordingly. Somehow electricity falls under residential.
I understand that 2 carparks are given per unit, but if you need more
they are available for rent at a reasonable price. There are miniscule
storerooms in front of most of the carparks for rent too.
2. Location.
Since it's located on the same road as KTM, Aeon Big, Subang Parade
and Empire, it's pretty much self contained and you need not battle
with the inner Subang Jaya traffic jam.
MRT is under construction and will pass next to Subang Parade and
Empire. Well within walking distance for the able.
Entry and exit is a bit weird though but one gets used to it somehow.
3. Security.
Security has been upgraded and access cards to elevators will soon be
implemented. Visitors have to register and given a visitor's car
sticker, otherwise cars will be clamped. 24 hour security guards. CCTV
on the lower parking levels will be operational.
4. Units.
Most of the units have floor to ceiling windows which gives us a
feeling of spaciousness and the ceilings are quite high. My unit faces
the Federal Highway and KTM runs directly beneath, but as I'm on mid
level the traffic noise is like a distant buzz. My balcony door is
contstantly open except late at night. We used to live in a very quiet
and residential area in old PJ.
Water pressure is very good. Make sure you check for bathroom leakage,
I had mine rectified before moving in by the developer.
5. Management and the residents committee.
Kudos to the above as a lot of issues are and have been addressed.
To sum it all up, we didn't regret our decision to move here.
