Not really true. If for own stay, you can stay almost anywhere. But if ure looking at investment there are 2 types

1) Capital appreciation
2) Rental yield

KLCC & Mont Kiara areas are now experiencing a glut and rental returns have been dropping since last year. For rental investment, its advisable to avoid areas which are facing a glut. Rental will not be competitive. Plus there's always a risk of capital depreciation which mature areas dont experience.

TTDI area may not give you good rental returns but capital appreciation is quite good and stable. Same with areas like Bangsar and Bandar Utama. These are stable areas and prices rarely drop. It may stagnate like whats happening now but a drop is unlikely unless the economy is really bad.

met a few ppl at Tropicana Gardens... one couple bought 15 units there. Very crazy but I guess there are some capable ones within the Damansara market. If not Uncle Aunties won't be helping their kids buying properties in Hong Kong, Singapore, UK and Australia.

One Malaysian uncle was talking about putting deposit for a Hong Kong Dollar 18 million pigeon hole in Hong Kong.

Malaysia properties is just kacang putih in terms of pricing.

Feel like alot of ppl in my neighborhood is already talking about this TTDI project.

GD when launched was around ~500psf only. Missed the boat 

I would rather buy subsale units in existing condos in TTDI itself e.g Kiara Park, etc which are priced <RM600 psf only. Better location than TTDI Ascencia. How many ppl who can afford a RM1,000 psf price will be taking this MRT anyway? Besides the MRT station, everything else would need you to cross the Sprint highway and go into TTDI. Same when returning. In addition to this, the road in front of Ascencia is always clogged during peak hours. The MRT station nearby might make things worse.

Got a sales chart frpm my mate. It was a embarassing day for naza ttdi. Thought need to ballot n end up no one hew on it. It showed the resistance of rm1kpsf for dwvelopment outside klcc area.

It give a very gd indicator to those greedy developers. I dont know how ttdi naza going to sell this dev. If no further disc, u ll see many developwrs even after vp.

That cemetery is full of Datuks and Tan Sris, Puan Sris, Tun Toh Puans,.... many ppl wouldn't mind. It is not your ordinary cemetery.

Find it hard to accept a 1 room duplex SOHO at RM500k even though next to MRT. The duplex upstairs cannot possibly create another room due to space available. Understand that for the duplex downstairs, there is no shower piping available at the bathroom downstaris

Even Ascendia studio at prime location at Taman Tun MRT with 500 sf selling at RM1000psf is also RM500k

Both are freehold, both near a vibrant commercial center (Taman Segar and Taman Tun commercial area.
 
You can argue from Ekocheras can take MRT to KLCC in few stations but Ascendia also can reach One Utama and the Curve in few station

Even the resident and tenant profile of the 2 areas also very different if u know what I mean

If you accept the argument that both are 1 room and one 762 sf and one 500 sf, if you want to get RM2000 or more rental per month, which one easier?

Yes still have facing 'good neighbour' units
