I am planning to get a house for own stay with my girlfriend. Currently looking at Kinrara Mas which is acceptable for my budget. I need some sifus or owner advice on this condo as this is my 1st property and will be my first house. Don't want to get nightmare for it.

plenty of stall to dine

I am a Kinrara Mas owner and stay here. I can say that its a very good place to live. We have very good mix of Malaysian races here. Also there are few students and Africans too, but so far they don't cause much of issue.

For investment also good as they are food outlets, shopping complex, major highways and future Station 4 LRT are very very nearby.

For a price around 300k to 400k, I dont think you can find any condo within this strategic are that offer all these advantages.

So buy sooner rather than later as price will increase especially when LRT is completed in 2014.

How about the traffic there? Is it congested?

A little bit congested in the morning from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM.. So if you can go out in the morning sharp at 7 AM (or earlier), then it would not be so congested. I work in Bangsar and manage to arrive in the office in 15 - 25 mins if I go out at 7 AM. I travel via Jalan Puchong and Jalan Klang Lama. If you work in KL (E.g. KLCC) then you go straight via KESAS & MEX highway. Congested a little bit before entering the highway. After that, smooth until KL.

A huge advantage of Kinrara Mas (and all of Bandar Kinrara too) area is that you will have at least 3 main roads to reach any part of KL. Either via (LDP + Federal Hway) or (Jalan Puchong + Jalan Klang Lama) or (Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil + KESAS + MEX). Each will have their own pros and cons in term of traffic, cost and distance. Depending on the time, you can choose which are the best route. Another advantage is that Cyberjaya also is quite near, so if you happen to work in Cyberjaya, its still ok to stay in Kinrara. For me its in the middle of all prime areas without costing prime prices.

Future potential is there also as 2 proposed highways will pass through Kinrara which are KIDEX and SKIP, and of course LRT extensions in 2014. Kinrara will have 2-3 stations.

Hope more Kinrara Mas folks can share your life experiences too.

Thanks for the great info.!! My girlfriend working in Bangsar South but she work at 10am.. So i think she still can leave at 9.30am to avoid traffic.. For me, i always travel to oversea, I stay anywhere also can Hmm as I know there is only 1 way out of the condo area right? So what will happen if Parklane OUG is ready?? 4000++ units in Parklane OUG will make it even more congested?

sure ah 4k+ units in Parklane OUG? I thot like 1.5K only

Yeah.. Parklane OUG will definitely congest the traffict in jalan puchong and klang lama. But so are other strategic and prime places. Developer will keep building properties when they see the potential and demand.
We can only hope government will confirm and speed up the proposed highways and LRT extensions to ease the traffict. At least, from kinrara mas, you can still reach bangsar via LDP + Federal or Bukit Jalil + Sg Besi.

Yes there is a long single road going in and out of KMas. But as long as you have transport, shouldnt be a big issue. Lets just hope the LRT feeder bus wil come in to pickup KM folks.

Total around 4k++ for 3 phase... Its a very very high density condo..

Added on November 11, 2012, 3:42 amYeah.. I agree everywhere is congested... Well I don't use any public transport, so I think I have no problem going in and out the area.. Just hope that Parklane OUG developer will open a new road to reduce heavy traffic for their condo... BTW, are there many empty units left over there? I found a lot bumi lots for sale but too bad I am chinese... How about the management over there? Bad, satisfy, good or very good?

its near a graveyard right ?

Yup its near graveyard and some units are facing it.. But for me I dont mind... Some developer even build building on abundant graveyard..

location wise is not bad. only cons is the surrounding environment is not to many liking. next to graveyard, malay village and only one access passing hindu temple to the condo. that's why the price has not appreciated much compare to nearby condo in bukit jalil or kinrara.

4225 units + 204 shoplots/offices to be exact.

N bear in mind, there is another development on jalan puchong...so i believe traffic will be quite congested on peak hour...

That's the main problem i am worrying now.. But i can't imagine how bad will be the traffic..

What development is that ?

I dun know the name...if i remember correctly it is at nearby caltex at jalan puchong....but quite long d, should be sold out liao.

I think is Parklane OUG

I have thought to grab a unit in Kinraramas too, but the graveyard and hindu temple draw me back to get one. Since you dont mind every morning open you balcony and breath in the so 'grave' atmosphere, that's should not a problem for you. But how about hindu temple?Mean, lot of mix black will gather there. No offense, just me 2cents.

Personally I dont mind about the graveyard, perhaps because my unit not facing it directly. Plus its not that close anyway. The Old Town white coffee is much much closer to it, but as far as I can see, the customers and owner don't mind about it.

About the hindu temple, I personally dont mind except when they are having some ceremonies such as wedding where a lot of cars parked and will block the road. If they could make another entry road or make the road bigger a little bit, then problem solved.
