Dearest Sifu Sifu, just wondering your thought on Maple @ Sentul West. I've viewed a unit 1,535 sq feet and is very interest in the unit due to the views, serenity within the unit and the park. Do you think it's a good buy since the price quote is ~900k for those unit

Pro:
- Peaceful once past the Maple gate
- Access to 35 Acre Park
- Nice View (Park+KLCC view)

Con:
- High Maitainance fee of 35 cents per sq feet
- Layout for 1,535 is not the best (Room 2 & 3 is really small)
- Fairly old? ~6 years old?
- Surrounding of Jalan Ipoh

Would be great to let me know your thoughts on this?

The Maple Condo is an oasis in the middle of KL and you'll get what you pay for in terms of security and crazy amount of facilities. The park is really great if you have children or enjoy a morning jog yourself. Overall great place to stay but not to buy as investment to sell.

I like the park only
Inside the condo looks old
For the price can get proper mk

Also nowadays come out from maple in the morning sure jam
If u head to kl

Yeah sifu sifu, noted that the inside can look abit dated and yes it's not a good investment to sell. I do hope they will repaint the inside which will help the overall look of the place

So in terms of upside, it's not so great but it's the park that is the lure for myself. I can't find another prop with the private park access. The other condo which is facing parks are in the TTDI area but there is none for sale.

In terms of workplace, i work around the Bangsar area and the traffic going to KL is fine for me.

Well I think you have already made up your mind then Overall I think its a great buy for own stay. Furthermore you'll be staying with an affluent group of people and who knows when YTL really fully transform Sentul to their proposed vision... you'll not only get a nice township that is unparalleled in greeneries in KL but also appreciation of property

Try having a look at the 1569sq feet units btw.. the layout is much better. Also the 900k asking price seems to be a tad above market value so I can only presume that it is very well renovated.

Villageboy which did you buy in the end and for how much?

What's the bank valuation for 1569 sft facing Jln Ipoh property and those 1535sft? Do they vary by floor? If so how much low, medium and high floor?

900k for a high end condo at jalan ipoh?

For me no no...At that price you probably can buy a bangalow near that place.

I dont think so..bungalows already in millions now!

Try to look around that Jalan Ipoh area

I bet you can find a lot of landed unit that cost less than 900k.

Landed DSL yes, bungalow at least 1.35M above

900K, can find quite a lot of nice gated guarded landed project not too far from city...900k can find a decent unit at mont kiara.....no doubt maple attach with a park is plus point..but the overall environment at sentul cannot beat mont kiara...

Landed DSL at jalan ipoh worth 900k

900k make sure u stay long time
If u buy 900k at mont kiara, rental can cover

always heard people say mont kiara like a ghost town..but recently i see the occupancy rate not bad....especially on mont kiara seni...looks like high occupancy rate by looking at the light from the units during night...this township become more lively compare to before

Those who said mk is ghost town maybe never been mk.

900k can buy kiara view, ttdi, next to park and with spare cash

for own stay i like this place.

Yes jalan ipoh 3rd mile location is so strategic, to both downtown klcc and pj so easy and convenient

How long is the drive to Bangkok Bank/Masjid Jamek during peak hours?
How long is the drive to KL Sentral during peak hours?
