Hi all, went to check out BSC this afternoon. Took the guthrie highway and was very long as I live at Kepong. Any other way from Kepong? Other than that, the site is huge. Went to checkout Bromelia, really nice but contractor did not allow to enter in as he said public is not allowed. Duranta looks really good too. Anyway does anyone know how to get there without passing the depressing kampung road? too many traffic lights and too long.

You may use the map provided by LATAR @ http://www.kls.com.my/index.htm

Still got any available units?

Tq for the useful info -)

Thanks brother for this info. If DASH is completed, we can travel fast to reach home and skip the whole of Jalan Kuala Selangor road which is often jam.

Added on March 28, 2012, 11:13 pmHi I am also a banyan owner. Do we need permission or show our agreement in order to gain permission to view the banyan unit? Looks like you gain entry easily...

any sifus here can advise whether Bandar Seri Coalfields or Aman Putri nearer to LATAR highway? tq in adv!!

For sure is Bandar Seri Coalfields, just 1km down from the main entrance (traffic light), Aman Putri is 5km up from Bandar Seri Coalfields, so it is 6km from LATAR, but Aman Putri is nearer to Guthrie, just about 1km too.

tqvm.. so which prop would you recommend among the 2?

haha, keng wei buy bsc, i also buy bsc, so, if u ask us, will be a bias lah frend.

Better u go both location to check and feel it. You will get a good decision from your heart.

Bro, if distance is your concern, and depending where your starting point is:
I Utama P. J via LDP and Jln. Kuala Selangor to BSC=24km.
1 U PJ via Persiaran Surian, then Persiaran Mahogani to Persiaran Jati to Jln. Sg. Buloh to Jln. K. S'gor to BSC=25km.
Travel time for above =40min

Distant isn't an issue for me so long there is highway (now/ future). Kemuning is far from KL too but appreciated a lot. Most important is the potential to grow. I'd prefer landed than city centre's condo bcoz condo relies 100% on the management.

Those are old enough here shall know Villa Puteri opposite PWTC, 20yrs (or 30yrs?) ago this condo was among the highest end condo in the city centre but the current price isn't must different with the launching price due to its bad management.

by comparison, a run down Kepong Maluri or Sri Damansara DSL can still fetch good price.

btw am staying @BRP, not far from AP/ BSC though.

Added on March 31, 2012, 12:25 amBro, i only went as far as AP to have a look. Will find a day go check out BSC. Am considering DC subsales about +/-RM300k coz SDC sold out & its quite expensive d.

Agree..you better go check out yourself~

I've been following this thread ever since I bought that BSC Banyan.

Until now, I've no clue where is it...haha...never mind...

At least now there's a picture showing an almost completed Banyan show unit...


Please keep posting more newer up-to-date pics. I really appreciate them. Thanks!

You sound so relax about your purchase, bro. May I know the reasons that made you to want to buy a banyan semi-d in BSC? I too bought one and I don't mind staying there as long as there is good choices of Chinese/Thai hawker food like what I am enjoying now in PJ! I really hope that I won't miss these. For me, the main reason for this purchase is a landed freehold home and relatively cheaper thus value for money. I don't mind the distance if BSC can become a township similar to Taman Megah PJ or SS2. People can then skip coming over to PJ for food. The price we paid is making it much less per month to pay instalment .
BSC will have fresh air as the whole area is surrounded by oil palm. The upward sloping hill is good for walk and exercise. Elsewhere in PJ, you can't run or walk without breathing in polluted air. It is thus an ideal place for people who retire like me.
My only wish is that when the shop lots are tenanted out, there may be more Chinese restaurants there. This is very possible for as long as there are Chinese, there are food...lol, for we love to eat out! Across the road is Desa Coalfields. It has mostly Malay/mamak food and relatively quiet too.
I checked on Tesco announcement for their new branches but none is in BSC. As I know hypermarts require certain population ratio to be approved by the authority, and maybe the criteria is not met yet for BSC and its surrounding area. However I hope Mydin can own a shoplot or 2 there, like what it does in Masjid India, KL. This will make grocery cheaper. I wonder if future residents can group together to write to Mydin or some big businesses to run a foodcourt such as Ming Tien in Taman Megah, PJ.
Seeking some response from interested parties. Thanks.

Added on March 31, 2012, 5:05 pmCalled KLK developer yesterday and was told the completed banyan unit is not for show unit as all are sold out.
However, you may register for another new launch for semi-d soon. The gently rising up hill is good for those who believe in feng-shui, hahaha, though not me. But the view of a big gentle slope will be refreshing I think. When KLK cut down more palm trees to build more houses (1000 acres) in BSC, then MDKS may approve a hypermart. Hope you join in la, dear bro...
Opposite Desa Coalfields is only 200+ acres only, yet so many homes.
I hope KLK will build the shoplots soon, or we will need to travel far out for our needs at least for the coming 2013 or more..
Hope Henry can comment on this issue.

Henry seems like disappear for quite long d, wonder whether he still working in KLK? As I told by the staff, more than 80% of the buyers are Chinese, as we chinese are good in looking for the business opportunities, I believe will have some tauke will open the restaurants there

For sure 1000+ acres will have hypermarket or mall to support the communities, just don't know when it will come only, stay tune! haha..

At the moment I've no intention to stay there. I bought it bcos it's freehold and it's a KLK's project. Will see how's the development surrounding that area. And very important to know if I get nice neighbors or not. If got lengchai neighbor, I don't mind moving there.

Actually I'm looking forward their bungalow units. Just wait and see.

However if they start offering add-ons like extra power switches or whatever additional points, I'm keen to go for it.

I never know if I begin to like that area once all those nice houses are done.

Btw, I'm a female lah, don't call me bro, ok!

Have their bumi lots release already?

ops, 'bro' isn't to be, and looks like should call you 'leng lui' instead. Leng chai as neighbor? definitely got d. I know my son is one, .
Jokes aside, you already got banyan semi-d and now eyeing the bangalows! Hope the inside fixtures are of quality, eg. tiles, sinks etc.
If surrounding development is what KLK showed in their aerial model, it seems to have many shops up and coming, and staying on will be good, and future resale value too will be good. I am also in between staying or selling off, that is, if facilities are poor and if KLK only build their shoplots much later.
Ya, when lots of Chinese stay in any area. sure there will be restaurants selling food, and hopefully, got Hometown Hainan and Mydin. I am thinking of writing and speaking to these shop owners to go and have a look.

U have lengchai son, i have lenglui daughter...hehe

Yep, I'm eyeing their bungalow as their Banyan built-up is slightly smaller than the semi-d that I'm staying now. I'd like a garden too as my current place has been fully tiled-up to park our cars.

Perhaps BSC can offer cleaner air and more greens, oh ya, I read somewhere earlier in this thread about some foul smell in that area, hopefully it's not a major issue..

Huh? U so free to write to invite Mydin, etc. to help to populate that area?

I'm just hoping for good workmanship, easier and better access roads...
