In general, “Up and Coming” areas- Price is lower but potential is good in next few years. Investment risk is however higher.

Examples:
1) Semenyih
2) Sg Buloh; and
3) Rawang etc

“Mature” areas – Price is expensive but for potential for further price increase is generally lower than “Up and Coming” area in term of percentage. Investment risk is lower.

Examples:
1) PJ
2) Subang
3) Bandar Puchong Jaya
4) Setia Alam
5) Kota Kemuning etc


Also hope the LYNs can also share some “up and coming” areas and projects.

TQ

so many polls, election coming soon or what

Sg Long is mature or upcoming?

“Upcoming” areas means the place is currently under-develop (no yet "Wong" now) but it has good potential in next few years because:

· The authority or the developer has plan to built the infrastructures such as highway to improve accessibilities, shopping centre, schools, office etc in future; and

· Since the mature areas already fully develop and becoming too expensive, it is a matter of time that the resident start to move toward these “upcoming” areas which is more affortable.

The risk is higher since whatever developer or the authority plan to built in future may not materialised due to various reasons.

definitely upcoming

i hv seen so many big cities, seems mature areas will getting more expensive (and still up) even with the many upcoming, near mature surrounding. so i think KL city centre has good potential.

My observations in general (This is example only):

Investing in upcoming areas: RM400K to RM800K (100% increase in capital with low entry prices). Provide that whatever the authorities/ developers planned are materialised (highway, school, international school, hospital, shopping centres etc)

Investing in mature areas: RM800K to RM1.1 million (38% increase in capital and high entry prices)

Just my 2 cents.

Cyberjaya?

Cyberjaya – as for now, nothing much to do during the night time, right?

IMHO, this is upcoming area- SP Setia are there.

Mature area usually referred to prime area with good infrastructure such as schools, highways, malls, easy transportation yes the price maybe slightly but you have a peace of mind. As for up coming area as long it is not well planned a lot of things can be at risk or planning may be different from what was proposed, township would be a better choice for upcoming area as it is well controlled by a developer.

If you are interested in a mature area why not look into KL Sentral new project by MRCB, last residential next to up coming 6-stars hotel St.Regis and 5mins walk to the transportation hub. Price Rm1100psf with early bird discount but not launch yet, soon price will be revised upon launching. KL Sentral is the key focus point in Malaysia as being the major transportation hub and offices with MSC status. Shell is moving in next year and new high end Shopping Mall will be opening next year. GSC and Parkson being the anchor tenant.

This is a JV development between MRCB and Quill. Do pm me for any enquires for this current project, I'm the exclusive marketing agent for MRCB.

Personally, for own stay, I prefer to buy a house close to where I work. That’s means it will be in the mature area. Possible a 2/3 room high rise apartment since the land property in these areas is beyond my budget. Simple reason that I hate the traffic jam to and from my working place if I stay far.

For investment wise, I will consider to invest in the landed property in one of upcoming township. There are more factors to consider when investing in upcoming areas compare to the mature areas.

Upcoming: Setia Alam, Kota Kemuning (Rimbayu, Alam Impian etc), Semenyih, Kajang, Puchong, Bukit Jalil, Cyberjaya.

R u sure u stay in the same company in your whole working life unless u r the boss.

Even upcoming areas also very expensive. Holding power must be strong as it will take a while to appreciate. Furthermore rental yield nowadays is very low...

Seri Kembangan?

I am sure after saying this, SK folks will hentam
me. Seri kembangan is coming up but there is not much attraction there. Price also not comparable with other places that have more attractions to offer. The only positive thing i see is that students/workers in CBJ can stay there. But i rather be in puchong. Why would some seri kembangan developments borrow the name Puchong South in the first place?

OUG/Bukit Jalil/Sri Petaling/Cheras/Setapak

Looks like plenty of opportunities

Isnt there a mall suppsed to kick off (O2), which should provide quite a bit of attraction?

Not sure if confirmed, but the Mex interchange and SKIP highways can make this place be attractive?

Added on August 8, 2012, 10:58 pmWhat about Semenyih? seems to be getting a bit of attention lately

Probably just a little bit of attraction but not much. On Semenyih, IMHO it has future potential especially with SE and SEH coming along
