AGREED!!!  As I have mentioned in many of my earlier posts - the idea of turning an non-Gated Community to an Gated Community is gonna be a mountain effort. I believe if we have to move from the mentality of having a ‘Gated Community’ to a ‘Guarded Neighbourhood’....

Some points that I managed to extract from The Selangor Housing and Property Board on its Guidelines for Development of Gated Community Scheme.

The Selangor Housing and Property Board in its Guidelines for Development of Gated Community Scheme (Guarded and Gated Community) defines Guarded as an enclave that is provided with security services with or without a guard house and has no physical barriers.

The pre-requisites for development of Guarded Concept in Selangor are as summarized below.

1. Application for development
- Application to be made by residents’ development association and developer (for new development)
- Existing housing scheme requires consent from at least 85% of the residents

2. Guard house
- Only guard house allowed
- The size allowed is 6ft x 8ft or other sizes deemed suitable by the Local Authority
- The guard house should not obstruct traffic and is to be constructed on road shoulder
- Written approval from the PTD/Local Authority is needed

3. Barrier
- Operation time allowed is from 12.00 pm to 6.00 am
- Should not block vehicles from entering that particular area
- Authorities have the right to enter at any time

4. Fencing
- Perimeter fencing is strictly prohibited

haha.. just to share with u guys.. initially when bought this unit, we havent decided whether for own stay or for investment.. my in laws didnt agree when told them about the price we paid for a link house in DA 2 yrs ago.. they kept saying the bubble is going to burst very soon.. last few months,  i drove them around DA.. they seemed to like the township so much.. few days later, they told us that they hv paid deposits for a subsale unit.. n i told them that they r the one who is paying a ridiculous price for a linked house .. they responded, "For a house in a well planned township like this, RM750k i paid for a link house is very reasonable. i dont see the price is gonna go down in the future" . hahaha..

Now the problem is, i m tempted to sell after received a very good offer lately but the inlaws was being so emotional.. insist us to move to DA and dont ever think to sell.. i've been trying to make them understand that if i dont sell now, i wont be able to save that amount of money in my whole life.. but they still dont agree.. now i'm stucked here guys.. haha

If you sell your fern lane you bought 2years back, you might not find such a fine dsl house in such a nicely design taman for the same price you bought. It is better that you try to stay for a while and wait for it appreciate more. By then you could have pay enough to reduce your principal by a reasonable value. By then, you could have enough bullet to upgrade to a bigger and nicer house. Just my opionion.

Hmm.. I can understand how hard it is to make a decision.
I think you should continue to obeserve the trend first.
Do more research about it and show it to your in-laws when the time is ripe!

Hi folks

Moved into Nerida 2 months ago. House and environment very nice. Its just too bad about the security though, however I'm sure things will be beefed up soon.

One major issue is that I just switched jobs and its really far for me to trave - I work right smack in KL. That's one of the reasons I'm looking to sell my place (reluctantly).

But for as long as I live here (dunno how long lah) I am enjoying everything else but the commute. Welcome all current and future neighbours 

The above mention points are guidelines, not necessary we have to follow point by point.

We can appeal with the state government for special approval if we have a strong case.

Just look at alam impian, they are putting up fencing. Alam impian ttdi even better, the developer just went ahead to tell people that there are guarded and gated development. In actual fact, they can't do that as they are issue with individual titles not strata title.

Can anyone share / help me to get some update on recent development at Maple Terrace ? Perhaps some pictures as I'm staying abroad at the moment.

An Invitation to e-Boulevard Stage 3 Launch, Denai Alam[U]

Why "Stage 3",    Again, the usual DA tactic of splitting a same plot of development into 2,3, or even 4 launches and hike 50K at each launch?

Whats the starting price?

Hi there MT neighbor. I receive my 2nd 10% invoice from developer few weeks ago. Apparently it stated that the pilling work are done (hence the 10%), but I cant visibily confirm this as I havent been to the site yet.

Anyway, U r buying for own stay or invest?

At Denai Alam....came to check out my unit...now checking out one of the Clover Park units.

Hi there, I'm buying for my own stay. During my last site visit in March 2012, they are doing piling works. The recent invoice is for upon completion of foundation right ?

Updates pleasee ...heheh
