Hi all sifus

Currently am considering a unit in Ridzuan condo, size is 1,400sqf ++ Price is about RM500k.

I'm buying for family ownstay - i.e. planning to start a family in the next couple of years.

I've seen the unit and is in good condition and I like the design too. The parking is quite near to the unit. I heard that the new JMB is doing a better job than the previous ones so things are looking better than the last 5 - 6 years. Btw, lifts - 3 out of 4 are working


The reasons that makes me interested in Ridzuan are because:

1) I like the location, still within the vicinity of PJ (near to Pyramid and SS15 and traffic access to LDP -> Sprint Highway is still bearable).
2) Price!!!! RM360 per sqf looks attractive to me and is quite spacious compared to other condos like V-Residensi 2 or Bukit Gembira.
3) So far the new JMB is doing a much better job for the condo. I've asked some of the residents there and safety is better than before.
4) Rental attractiveness. I'm planning to rent out 1 room for the first few years before starting a family there.

I want to know, compare to other condos (e.g. Goodyear court, V-Residensi 2, Bukit Gembira), is Ridzuan a good choice? Any sifus staying there or nearby has thoughts on this?

Of course I would prefer to have a landed, freehold property in PJ but with 500k, I would say that is impossible.

Would appreciate if anyone of you can share some thoughts on it.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for all sifus sharing their thoughts Really appreciate every single one of them.

I have 1 friend staying there for a few years d. She told me that things are better than before as the new JMB is more serious at taking care of the condo and even the guard house now is in the process of upgrading to card-entry system.

Anyone familiar with that area? Another friend of mine who moved from Ridzuan to Suriamas also complained that many PH and foreigners has migrated to Suriamas.

1 thing I don't like Suriamas is because the condo is it looks like a high density condo from the outside and if not mistaken, they have more units per floor compared to Ridzuan.

Btw, thanks khai yin for the asking price details and Chris Chew for the details.

Am I correct to conclude that so far, it is not recommended for own stay because:

1) Too many foreigners and thus, not so safe?
2) Ageing facilities.
3) RM500k currently is on the high side?

In addition, how is the people around there? Do they still cause alot of nuisance? My friend told me that things are better now though. But I would like to have more feedbacks.

Btw, any more property that is suitable for me? E.g.
1) Below RM500k
2) More than 1,200sqf
3) Freehold / leasehold is fine by me
4) Preferably undercon / new project
5) Within the vicinity of PJ, preferably easy access to LDP / NKVE / Sprint

Another condo I'm interested at is Bukit Gembira due to its low density. But is abit pricey

Thanks in advance for all the replies.
