Hi, I am interested in a new development near Ayer Keroh known as Vista Kirana. It is the same developer as Taman Paya Rumput. I am keen in one of the bungalow- cost RM707,000.00, which will be my retirement home. As I am from KL, I am not very familiar with the location and development around that area.

I have also visited Taman Paya Rumput showhouses but all the non bumi units have been sold out. However, we find Vista Kirana is more convenient as it is nearer to the toll exit, the only disadvantage- it is leasehold (remaining 88 years unexpired lease).

Appreciate any feedback.

Only managed to view the show houses didn't really take a detailed look at the area and it's surroundings. I was more keen on vista kirana as it is a gated and guarded scheme with perimeter fencing and CCTV mounted at strategic locations. + its own exclusive club house. 

I also like the roads leading to it- lots of greenery with Melaka Perdana Resort on the right and Tiara Golf Resort on the left. Both these resort also have bungalow lots for sale and there is also semi detached and bungalows houses under construction for sale at the golf resort known as Tiara Ville. I have seen the semi detached show house, the resort is very nice but I am worried it may be too quiet.

TPR looks ok as it only consist of Bungalows & rhe design looks nice/modern- I like Amber & Quartz. IMO, TPR is value for money & it is freehold whereas VK is lease hold.  

Ya, you are right, the status of the land doesnt really matter since it is not for investment purpose. If there is any capital appreciation in the future which will be likely due to the escalation of the cost of raw materials and labour, then is just a bonus for me. Thanks for your best wishes, in fact I have reserve the unit that I wanted with their sales ofice and will be dropping by next week to pay the deposit.

Hi MLW, thanks for your advice pertaining to the flood prone areas.

As for Vista Kirana, I like the location and the road leading to it which looks scenic with lots of greenery, beside, it is fully gated & guarded with its own club house which fits my requirements. The only setback is the lease hold status, luckily it is not for investment purpose, otherwise, got to think twice.

By the way, any idea where will the new launching be in 2-3 years time as mentioned by you?

Totally agree with you that Melaka is a nice place to retire. Moreover, it is not too far from KL which I may need to go back once in a while.
