4 yrs old? KDS i thought many many yrs old.

I have been staying in Tiffani since 2011 and never have a single moment to regret my choice of selling off a landed property in Kajang and moved to MK. Since then, we save tremendous amount of petrol expenses and 2 hours of traveling time per day. (Yes we both work in KL/PJ)

It is all about quality of living and the kind of lifestyle that you can hardly find elsewhere in Malaysia. It makes us feel safe and peaceful staying in MK neighbourhood. Unlike Taman Desa and Kuchai Lama, although both undeniably have good location too but I personally don’t think it is a right place to live simply due to the scene at night that one can spot a lot of prostitutes here and there.

Other interesting observations about MK condos which I think is worthwhile to share:-

1) Our conservative parents who are always rooting for landed property and bigger living space starts to get convinced by the good quality of life, better overall security and convenience offered by MK condos.

2) It is contagious. We moved in 3 years ago, now 2 other siblings are buying condo in MK. Even heard that the same thing happens to an uncle that his 3 children are buying Pelangi and Angkupuri etc separately in recent years.

3) Good mix of residents. On the floor we stay, there is a Japanese family, another local chinese family, an Indian family, 2 Korean families. And there are some Malay families staying in other floors as well which we greet once in a while in elevator. As a Malaysian chinese, I still prefer the mix population than living in a place where there is certain race being the majority.



I believe sooner or later, when more and more 90s kids coming back to Malaysia from oversea studies and start to earn decent income, they will tend to prefer a staying place which is more resembling to the community where they spent most of their best years in. And I strongly believe future demand is not an issue at all.

Securing a relatively small units (not larger than 1800 sf) in MK should be a more dynamic move than buying a landed house in Cheras because you can enjoy and improve your life now (no need to wait when U are ageing, you never know what is going to happen tomorrow ) and when U feel like to move on to a bigger unit or even eventually switch back to a landed property, you can always choose to rent the unit out (landed property is relatively much less likely to generate good rental yield) or sell it.

Your story about prostitutes here and there in kuchai lama and OUG seems a bit exagerrated

KDS is 7 years old, completion in 2007. check propwall.

Sorry about that remark. To be More specifically, I observed these kind of things in Taman desa commercial area. Kuchai lama and oug I simply heard there are such kind of populations & biz there.

So is desa sri hartamas.

Closing this thread and thanks for the pointers.
