just viewed a unit at Aston Kiara, agent said maintenance fees at 0.4 psf including sinking fund. launching price was 1.2m according to the agent (but i saw from somewhere it was around 1m). now asking for 700k+. price has been dropped so much, something wrong?

No issue so far. happy staying here.

Probably I can provide some insights of this building for everyone's consideration.

Property comes with 2 Sizes, (but there are penthouse units at the top level.
- 1518sqft (Intermediate)
- 1598sqft (Corner)
- All units comes with full furnished (6 air-conds, built-in beds, built-in wardrobe in 3 bedroom, water heater for all 3 bathroom)
- each unit comes with 2 carpark
- Single Tower with very low density at around 158 units
- 3 lifts

Facilities,
- Visitor lobby, Fish pond
- Swimming pool, kids pool
- Small playground, BBQ pit
- Squash, Gym, Sauna Room
- Meeting Room, function room, playroom (with Pool table and Ping Pong table)
- Main water filter for all incoming water to the unit

Pros,
- Big unit (no where in Mont Kiara you can get this size with this price)
- 8 units per floor (each wing 4 units)
- Cheap in price now. you can get it RM700k and below (Launching price at around RM900k after 10% discount)
- Tight security
- Floor access restricted by card access
- Plenty of visitor car parks
- Building is nicely maintained
- Quite a numbers of the units still holding by foreigner which most of them no longer staying here. Many units are vacant.
- Quiet, hardly see people around in the building
- Janitor services covers weekend

Cons,
- High maintenance fees RM667.92 (0.44 per sqft including sinking fund)
- Not much in-house activity due to low density and less residents
- Not much extra building land, all facilities inside building floor
- No cafe, no minimart, no vending machine, no laundry services
- High traffics in front of the building. usually start around 7am - 9am, peak hours.

So far, that's what I can think of now. Best for own stay, but not so good for investment. Rental starting at RM2.3k which is quite low compare to other condo in MK. I understand from agent, it is because lots of foreigners trying hard to let go their unit to cut loses.

All these are based on my own opinion as one of the owner, and just for your reference only.

Own stay will be Good as I’m already staying here. If you look for investment and quick gain, probably not In mont kiara. Or probably not even Should invest in property for now.

Anyway, the traffic not too bad though, traffic hardly stagnant not moving. Normally it take about 10-15mins to get out from MK.

Mont kiara address (X-X-X Aston Kiara 3, No. 27 Jalan Kiara 3 Mont Kiara 51200 Kuala Lumpur) in Segambut dalam . There are desperate foreign owners trying to cut loses. But once this batch of owners gone, you won’t find such price anymore, I think. Don’t think the local owner will throw the price like this. So, grab while it still have.

Ring the agent and pay a visit then you can do your own analysis. Don’t listen to others. See as many unit as possible before make any decision.

actually can't really hear the traffic noise from the highway. and surprisingly the JK3 road no longer that bad since MCO. Not really seeing stagnant car queue these days.

I stay in Aston Kiara. hardly hear any noise when the windows are tightly closed. Both Aston Kiara and Richmond residents are quite quiet. Probably because of low density.

Prayers Azan start normally around 5.30am. Yes you can hear the Azan but it is bearable especially when the windows are closed you will hardly notice about it. Unless you are very sensitive to noise otherwise it should be fine.
