I checked out Goodview Project over the long holiday. Overall, it reminds me of australia homes where the usage of red bricks is pretty common.

It look nice (again, it's not everyone cup of tea) but to each their own. The builtup is good with very good practical design...2300++ sqft for 22x75. The setback of having such a huge BU, the car porch looks short ( i believe it's in the region of < 20ft length). High ceilings and comes with 4+1 bedrooms and 5 toilets. Some added features, an intercom is provided to every home (it's guarded home and not g&g). 2 years security maintenance is provided by the developers FOC, after that, lu sendiri kow tim with the residents. For additional rm10k, certain type get timber strip for top floor else porcelain tiles.

I also find it a bit over the top that this developer provided a sliding wood door for the staircase with lock (so kiasi meh...scare of robber). Some may find it useful, and some don't.

Now, let's look at the price point. Rm728k (22x75) rm798k (22x80). For 2.5 storey link house (rm1.08mill), semi-d, 35x80 (1.388 mill). Is the pricing good ? I leave it to the buyer to decide.

Accessibility and amneties, not very good. Even though they are building some shophouses opposite the 22x80 ds rows, it will be a challenge to find enough traffic or volume for the 200 acres projects.

Let me share my view as i am staying in semenyih for the past 3 weeks and also EH buyer. Facilities and eateries are plentiful in semenyih as of now. Tesco, econsave, mydin, minimarkets are within 5 minutes drive, fast foods are plentiful, hawkers food too. Only setback, no cinema except jusco selatan which is 20 mins drive using silk-sg long. I did check out the cinema too during the holiday also.

To goto midvalley for shopping, it takes 30 minutes during weekend (4pm) from semenyih (I am staying in TE now, using ttdi grove, to cheras, connect to connaught east west link to midvalley).

Now how about traffic during morning and night peak. To reach taman mayang, first week, it took me approx. 1 hr 10 mins to 1 hr 30 mins (using silk all the way to mines wonderland, exit at midfields to join east west link to federal highway (this is the mother of all jam...cheras yawn.gif ...easily stuck here from 30 mins to 45 mins), then exit to penchala link to head towards DU.

2nd week, i tried another route (took me 50 mins to 1 hr). Using silk all the way to mines, exit at midfields, then join NPE and exit at federal highway to join ldp (this is much smoother flow).

All this time taken, i leave TE semenyih at 7am (surprising pretty ok the traffic and i didn't even use lekas to exit the semenyih town). As for going home, again, the mother of all jam...cheras again yawn.gif, no matter it's 7pm, 8pm, 9 pm, or 11pm, connaught is always jam during the weekday. Penchala link is another hell before 8pm. If you are caught in this, it will easily take you 1 hr 20 mins to 1 hr 40 mins to reach semenyih. Half the time you are stuck in penchala link and cheras jam near connaught.

I manage to find a shorter duration by using lebuhraya sg besi to pass thru mines heading towards UPM and connect to SILK. This bypass the infamous cheras jam and pretty smooth flow. This routes cut down my journey home to approx. 1 hr or even less depends how bad penchala link jam. I am still exploring more options, again, yes, it may be far in distance, but it's not that bad. I prefer a smoother traffic drives than stuck 30 mins in standstill traffic.

Just my 2 sen on semenyih to PJ traffic for those who need to know. Oh, semenyih traffic at night after 8pm is ok especially the old town. So use lekas before 8pm else can just use the normal old route.

You are always an informative forummer here... good job and do share with us more.

Sadly TE don't have direct access to LEKAS, otherwise you could reach the Silk / Semenyih-Kajang bypass less than 5 minutes. Currently I presume still need to wait few traffic light along Jalan Semenyih which could possibly drag you some time.

Very great to hear a real time case travel from Semenyih to PJ during peak hour. I couldn't more than agree with your statement jam is the crucial factor that eat up the times, rather the distance. People stay 15km away from city center need one hour to reach home, but it really doesn't mean that we need 2 hour if stay 30km away. Jam only happen in the area that close to town.

By the way, after two weeks staying here, how you find about Semenyih compare to the place you stay last time? Can share more?

Sam bro,

Yeah the traffic light at semenyih takes about 5 minutes. I have tried using lekas and going thru old town (timing is similiar) depends how bad the old town jam. The first traffic light that turns into jalan bangi to hit lekas, before i turn, usually i look ahead to see how bad the traffic, if not much traffic, i use the old route. If its heavy traffic, i will use lekas.

As for the living in semenyih, i am slowly adjusting to it. My other half beginning to like it. She manage to find a good hair salon near tesco (very important for lady tongue.gif) , most of our groceries shopping is at tesco. Somehow we begin to have better pre-plan if we need to head down to KL as compared to previously. Food wise, we have no complains. Quite a lot of good food can be had around the semenyih bus station else a drive to bandar teknologi kajang is also possible. My previous place....chinese food is not so easy to come by and need to drive further. Oh, mamak restaurants are abundant too as compared to my previous place where there's 2 sucky mamak which we hated so much. tongue.gif

The only thing i missed about my old place, my neighbour persian cat which always come to my house to lepak. At semenyih, all i get is frogs, insects, and cow and goats grazing along the empty land (not forgetting cow dung smell...hahaha). It is very breezy at night and pretty chilling in the late night and wee hours. Of course, safety too as i am not worried of someone jumping on me when i reach home. Of course, some of my friends find it amusing that i am leaving civilisations to move to semenyih but somehow, i tend to disagree as i believe, it all boils down to your own needs and expectations. It is not that bad after all. thumbup.gif

Bro, thanks for sharing and agreed now is not the best time to use tmn connaught yet to go kajang. The best option as per your advice to exit to seremban highway then enter from UPM and use slik to go back. I think once Ecohill-Lekas link ks ready i think it can cut the time down between 5-10mins. smile.gif

i myself didn't see what interesting about city life, everywhere u go, you will open your wallet.
Better buy a big and nice house with good environment, buy a bicycle and spend the day cooking breakfast, cycling around, cook lunch, sleep, gardening, cycling around, and watch movie in my own mini cinema.
Once a week goes out to buy groceries.

ie, I am ready to hole up in my mansion.

K thanks bye
