Expensive yes..but not for the cash rich kajang old folks la..they are ready to upgrade to premium living..or they might just want to buy the properties for their children to live comfortably in :-)

There are already so many cheap properties available in Kajang..why would the developer want to compete against them? better built premium homes as the demand is there..

cant wait for this exciting development to kick off..but will be very pricey in my opinion..

What?? Where did hear this from? maybe if you can share the source and more info about the location it will be easier to determine..

location is good if you know this area well...of course right now it does not look very attractive, but after a few years once this area developed you will regret not buying it at this price

Just like many other developments we all regret not buying in at the start :-)

What are u expecting from a place? Is it that it should be close to schools (government, private, international), university, shops, restaurants, public transport, offices, mall, easy access to highway, security?

These are all things u get with this location..consider the development right next to it which is Kajang 2..

Just talking and no facts or examples..hard to response la..

explain what u mean by wow factors and give examples of other developments launching at this price with the 'wow' factors la..that would make a better discussion right?

Handphone reception and internet are your major concern seriously? I know its a problem, but there is no way TM/Maxis is gonna let this area go without servicing them..

just need to be a bit patient at the moment cause this whole development area is brand new..

the sales preview is tomorrow right? how many total double storey and triple storey houses are there?

Based on their masterplan, this is the only phase right? Next will be high rise and bungalows/semi-ds..

this is looking like more of a jadehills thread now..haha.

post in the correct thread la.if not TH people get confused/wrong impression..

gated and guarded : strata title

Good one!

wrong statement!

Its good response BECAUSE of location. If you understand the planned developments, you will understand the location. Otherwise you will always be left behind..

It has been posted in this thread before...you can check it out..also can read Nadayu 92 thread for more info to the developments..

Twin palms has not much developments coming in as compared to Tropicana, plus the location isn't great in terms of surrounding amenities...in my opinion its much better to put your the money here. The reason being, its gonna be more convenient in terms of schools, restaurants, shops, mall, ktm/mrt...plus easy access to silk highway..Not to forget the upcoming largest mall in this area (IOI resort city mall, which is bigger than midvalley) is only 10-15 mins drive away from Tropicana :-)

btw, the huge empty land on the top right of Tropicana has been cleared (can be seen from SILK highway)..anyone has an idea on what development is planned over there?

got problems in terms of fengshui meh? Just thought it doesn't look so appealing and people avoid buying too close to HTC because worried about health issues...

Why stop there, why not get a RM 100k bungalow in the middle of an undeveloped area in Sarawak??

Its about location right? Be realistic about pricing. Many years ago, bungalows in Bangsar were selling for RM 15,000-Rm 30,000. At that time, people thought it was too high and not worth it. Some were waiting for the price to "fall" before buying...

But those who bought it, are smiling all the way to the bank now...

Of course, we can say that it was many years ago and some of us weren't born and therefore unable to take the opportunity to buy..but more recently, 6 years ago a bungalow was selling just under RM 2 million in Bangsar (jln maarof), still..people thought it was crazy price..economy going to crash, housing going to crash...etc..today its worth over RM 7 million..the person who bought it must be smiling wide now..

Just giving bangsar as an example..the principle is the same in this case..

Something that I have noticed: The higher the house price, the less issues with neighbours :-)

Most will be upper middle class and above, professionals etc..easier to deal with...

There are exceptions of course..but generally this applies la..

So for Tropicana..should be a pretty nice and decent place to stay in :-)

It really depends on how you view it..yes 1 million for double storey house is high..but its a premium development and people will consider...just like why people are paying 50% even 70% more for a house in Kajang 2, Nadayu ,Jade Hills compared to the ones just outside their fence is because of the premium development, security, facilities and better neighbourhood and of course, newer and nicer looking homes..

Take note that Kajang has been experiencing one of the highest population growths in the past 10 years and is soon expected to be the second most populated city in Malaysia after KL. As such, there is a lot of demand for housing..

just to correct, the RM 1 million we are talking about is future price not current price of the house (ie 2 years time, what price need to sell to make a good profit).But since you are comparing current value of the subsale houses, Tropicana is priced at RM 730k+...competitive with other premium developments in kajang..

people are offering over 50% higher than the purchase prices for Nadayu (RM 620k for a 22*65 dsl), but owners/flippers don't want to sell because they see future appreciation in this area with the schools, malls, offices, train stations coming in..so in my opinion, its a choice by the owner to keep the units for futher appreciation rather than selling at current price..
