i personally prefer landed over condo.. stayed in both before and there are pros and cons of each...

i dislike condo because of the parking.. and usually after grocery shopping i will have a big hassle to carry all the stuff up to my house... while landed i can directly park in front of the house and unload my stuff.. and parking not an issue anymore..

We need to compare apple to apple la bro.
If you compare a super penthouse, then you should also refer to landed super bungalow too right?

i've live in a condo for 10 yrs now... and had enuf of it.
sold off condo & bought landed.

I am 1984 & I chosen Condo at prime area.

Will move to Landed when children grow bigger and needed space.

Maybe eventually during retirement will move back to Condo (also at prime area) when the nest are empty.

If you can afford Binjai Penthouse, you dont have to be in this discussion anymore...

You said "sorry la not matter how high end it is.....a piegon hole is still a pigeon hole." first. I just show you an example ma. Ok la don't say Binjai, standard 1000-1800 sqft also not consider pigeon hole gua.

I didn't say I can afford also. If can afford then only can talk then you shouldn't talk too.

+1

some people just dont understand how to compare.

Landed house, got my own parking lot, no need walk so far and no need to take lift.
Once home = home.

If money not a concern, of course landed with G&G with facilities lar. But how many can afford?? Nowadays, security is the main concern. I heard that even landed G&G also not safe. Got break in case. Where can we find a safer place to stay....

look like most people wanted landed home.

In fact there is no right or wrong.
Lifestyle is very much different btw the two and it's purely personal choice.
However, in general ppl prefers landed than high rise.

it's all luck whether the condo or landed property is safe or not however much precautionary measures we take.
you can have so many tiers of security yet if some high tech thief wants to come in he will come in one. be it landed or condo.

if can for sure landed property la.

landed ftw!!! but i might just go for condo when i retire. good to own both types now.

Condo=bee lifestyle
bangalow = snell lifestyle

Most people prefer landed home because they prefer privacy and convenience as well as better value.

I live in a landed property all my life. My house broke in by robbers before thenafter ... I feel that it's unsafe to stay in a house unless it's gated and guarded. Even still I've heard gated guarded community broken in by robbers too!

I prefer condo for better security - not totally safe but better security.

WTH is lifestyle? Condo has lifestyle n landed no lifestyle?

i wonder if anyone did read my question and scenario carefully?

to be more precisely, i put a real sample here as this is most common scenario face by first house owner/young generation now.

Condo: a 900-1200 sft condo at town area like pj,cheras,bukit jalid and setapak with LRT (walking distance),good security ,easy access, facilities and shop with walking distance.

Landed: a 20x80 sft landed double story at out skirt area like rawang,setia alam,semenyik and etc. need drive to near by shop lot,no facilities,not near to public transport (walking distance)

if in this case still 65% vote goes for landed which mean rawang,setia alam and semenyik will still have a very good sales.

no new postings?

I prefer condo for convenience. The only reason I would choose landed is if I plan to have pets.
