backyard facing no man land is ok...

but backyard back facing another row....you literally can shake hand with your neigbours......who ever provides you with pix here just dun want to share it here nia.......

I think the diff shades of browns denote diff width of the house, 20 vs 22.....I stand corrected.

You r welcome bro

You r right..its really quite close in terms of feel n actual, its just 10ft wide ..

The 10ft backlane is standard and you see it narrow mainly because the house built up is maximized with footprint extended to the edge.

Malaysians generally like to extend their house to add more built up and developer has done that for them, even more crucial for strata as no external extension is generally allowed.

yeah 10ft is quite standard here in most developments, its neither too large nor too small, but the feel it gave will be small since its exactly 10ft from wall to wall

the initial period will be governed by developer before handover, if a lot of ppl actually request for some extensions, they may consider to approve or even to have a few standard designs to be used for the extensions even though its strata, namely for the back to even maximise the ground level and and car porch roof

What if the fire break out in the middle of the row, are the fireman going to pull water hose all away from the corner? or the fireman using motor bike to go in back lane?

I like this development also, big build up and looks really nice also.. just that after some forumer pointed out, then only i realized the condo are really close to the house... too bad...

You are interested in the condo units?

im not sure about the fire regulations, but if im not mistaken they have a limit on how long a row of houses there is until a break is required hence end lot unit is there, and that either a minimum 10ft back lane or none at all like those link semi-d where a "bungalow" splitted into 4 houses where min 10ft of land required at the side for semi-d...and nowadays there seems to be a gate at the back lane to restrict movements, not very sure does it comply with any regulations or not but neighbours nowadays are more concern with thieves and robberies more than fire breaking out

am sure they got the fire dept clearance lioa...otherwise they cant even build the house de...

in penang, most landed terraces are like that...fully extended....very narrow backland....

personally it will be dark at kitchen area....and you can see the full view of your neigbours kitchen as well....more muhibbah?????
can borrow sugar and salt anytime......

and kicap ..hahaha

I think Semi D and bungalow are different story, they have space on each side of the house, so there is still accessible.. the water hose still long enough to pull from neighbour house garden..

mostly, those house are kaotim already thats why approved..

10ft minimum is the requirement/ guidelines of local council. Unless your concern is whether this 10ft width already take the bomba into consideration. In any cases, I believe the bomba will pull the hose from the firestation not from neighbor house.

Fixed. In any case for residential parcels of land surely need hydrants to cover a certain radius as required by Bomba.

For condo there will be hydrants
Not sure about landed though.

There are provisions for hydrants for landed homes too

From View perspective,
Minus out the 1 row (<8units) facing the condo, maybe the remaining 1/3 are close to the condo, with sight of condo on your left or on your right. It boils down to the ambient and beauty of the facade upon completion, lighting may be crucial in giving it a good upmarket feel.

From Security perspective,
Aggregate units of all 4 phases (landed + condo) is circa 600units, which I think still manageable and Ok for today's standards. Nowadays even those large scale landed only residential/guarded development are launching at maybe 500units per guarded perimeter? Not to mention those 3-4k units condo development.

Units facing condo will have more parking spaces infront and wider backyard since no other house back and front. Plus easy to lookout for the kids playing at the playground bcoz not so far from their window. Some buyer prioritize those things before go for view and lighting.

Developer start to built the playground and the green area yet? Anybody can share playground progress..
