Sad to hear about the mall not opening.
This area is a good place to stay- it is peace and quite. Low density- internal road are width and less traffic.
But really lack of the amenities. - there an't many business that could come in and survive, due to the small population. Don't have many high rise condo/flats and limited offices. There is no crowd puller nor much economics going on. On weekdays- i would say there is little business/activities as all had head out to work, until like 7-8pm for dinner.
now-they finally build some condo- Radia and Skyz... but wonder why would people like to stay here?
not to pour cold water - but typically ppl would have a wider choice of condo- to be near one of the following-
LRT/MRT
Commercial area.
work place
school/college
i found none in BJ. Take note not condeming BJ- coz i stay at one of the nearby taman.
Hi Clueless.
I quite agree with u as well. I have landed unit up the hill. And traditional thinking is away from city is buy landed and condo has to be walking distance to amenities, commercial, work or lrt/mrt.
But I understand why people choose to buy a condo there. For the design, facilities, condo dwellers can enjoy the pool, club facilities. The important thing is to feel good. And a nice condo, can do up nicely. The interior design for a condo is different that a house. The area surrounding is nice, and condo can give a nice view. Going up the hill, gives nice view, so a condo highrise should give the same. Buy new property, less hassle, rebates, lower downpayment, free spa etc.
Eventhough the price per square foot of the landed house is much more reasonable. But at 2000sqft above is 750k above for secondary market. That's 10 percent 75k, plus lawyer, stamp duty.. U need 100k cash to buy..
Anyway. Just think that these condos at that price would make your landed houses worth more.
