Hi im searching for a house for own stay in shah alam and currently interested in a development call Cahaya Alam u12 develop by encorp. any sifu here can share views about this project such as pros n cons... tq

http://www.encorp.com.my/cahayaalam/ct.php?kw=home

let me start first

pro

-nice modern design for the 2 latest phase frangipani and lotus
-attractive discount
-beside seksyen 7 connected by 2 tunnel and setia alam(but still no connecting road)

con

-leasehold
-the project is sub conby encorp to a company call Must Ehsan that im not familiar with

For own stay ok, must ehsan is a subsidiary of encorp so should be ok. Only thing this place is a bit secluded. Heard that the land owner of the piece of land between Cahaya and Setia Alam, Boustead/LTAT, do not have any plan on it yet. No connection in near future so it will take time for the place to appreciate.

Seksyen 7 is a better bet for both, stay & capital appreciation. Only subsales available but I think the price is not far off from the launches at Cahaya.

Do Cahaya has shops? Few yrs ago empty.very hard to buy groceries.u have to go to sek7

there is new completed shops... they have speedmart , a stationary shop n a laundry if im not mistaken

When you are looking for a new place to buy, you have to ask 1 question; to live or to invest....

It will determine your decision making...

If you are thinking about to live, then Cahaya Alam must fulfill an emotional need; i.e. must be near to family, near to schools, near to friends, good communal design, near to work, etc....

With this, i think Cahaya Alam has a good masterplan being put up... you'll get the usuals; school, playground, playing field and such....the dispersion of housing developments is also good as houses are not compacted that much... land area is roughly flat for the 300acres (very very rough estimate)...so not that beautiful....as no undulation...but obviously beautiful depends on perception...

Road access might not be ideal as Setia Alam, but i think it would suffice having to go through seksyen 7, although with the increase in population, might cause traffic increase.... but just might.... although in the masterplan, they have intention to connect to Setia Alam side...

Social buildup should be another concern in which the pricing of the houses is slightly medium - to lower high...which means, your neighbours (to the cheaper sides) would be students, and uncle or aunties that hangs underwear on the fences... but this is just stereotyping... ultimately dont imagine its like desa park city...although i suspect most malaysians do hang underwears on fences...

the issue of low cost housing should not concern you as i always believe you must not segregate yourself from the reality of our social context.... poor people do exist and we can actually have a hand in helping them... what's the issue people afraid is mentality... dont simply assume (as some developers do) that if you move low cost housing to a different area, it lessens crime... crime is a social responsibility and good neighbourhood relationship can prevent that....

I guess above all, Cahaya Alam presents a good proposition for a middle income earner to get a residence that should fulfill a wholesome family upbringing...

buy it !
