Yes there is soo many leftover unit in BSC and I was surprised when I explored this place. The price is considered okay for 2024. But u need a bit of money to repair the wear and tear of the house.

How long it takes to drive to KL from BSC?

How much to pay for toll daily and for petrol monthly?

If one could answer "Nothing of concern" then just buy

I think most of the empty ones are in phase 1 & 2 when the prices were low and people grabbed as investment. Most of the new ones are owner occupiers because the price is not cheap anymore.

For me distance is not an issue and it’s pretty pleasant staying here for sometime now. Also, the built up is way bigger than surrounding developments, plus its freehold.

The only downside is KLK’s lack of experience in developing the commercial aspect of the township. The commercial growth happened very organically over 10 years since the handing over phase 1. Honestly, I’m not having high expectations on the coalfields retail park either.

Whereas ecoworld managed to transform the whole Puncak Alam from a cowboy town to a vibrant area in a shorter period of time than KLK.

You're right, rather than a downside I look at the slow commercial growth as a plus point for a place I want to live with my family - safe, lesser crowd, more greens.

Also, we got a good distance with commercial areas which are located away from BSC like ecoworld and elmina.

I've been living nearby (Kundang) for 3 years. For me if you want to drive to go to KLCC (My office is walking distance to KLCC) it took around 1 hour - 1 hour - 15 min average. If Bangsar also like that, sometimes lucky musim cuti sekolah you can get 45 minutes.

But I think if you choose to live here, the best way to commute without getting burnout is by taking MRT

I'm not sure about toll and petrol but it's gonna be expensive. I am fully WFH, just that sometimes I need to go to KL or Putrajaya.

If you know my history, I purchased Gamuda Gardens Landed and currently renting out in Gamuda Gardens for close to 3 years already. I just received my landed house key last month and tbh I fully regret it. Shoebox design, the price for 20x65 house strata leasehold is more pricey than a unit I bought Banyan 1 in BSC.

Yes there is always a pros and cons, but after living in a strata environment, it's not suit to my lifestyle who wants more freedom but quiet lifestyle. Moreover if you think BSC commercial is bad, just so you know I lived in Gamuda Gardens and if I wanna take out dinner I have to go to BSC at minimum. Most of my dinner is around BSC, BTP, Paya Jaras, Puncak Alam. Here in Kundang we got nothing. The Garden Square last promised to be delivered early 2024, now change to early 2025. Heck Elmina build the mall from nothing within a year. My take is Gamuda Strategy on pulling commercial failed miserably compared to KLK altho at a slower pace.

I have a friend who lives in BSC and I must say, if I stay BSC, I am truly grateful to have a fully functional shops for foods, small mart, hardware etc.

Now I already signed a loan to purchase Banyan 1 unit, and then wanna rent out my Gamuda house and when the time come, I wanna sell it (there's few more process need to be done i.e. Strata title, POC, POT, etc)

I love BSC because of the that place super chillax like retirement area compared to Hillpark, Eco, Elmina, Saujana but I think it won't last forever meh. The plus point for BSC is that if u exit from Latar, u can escape a little bit of jam by staying on the left lane haha.

I think BSC is quite good buy if the 2nd value around 500-550k. The distance to puncak alam ecoworld business area is just 4km away.

I am thinking why people bother to buy house in BSC or Puncak Alam if their workplace is in KLCC. I stay at KL now and to KLCC is about 10km and even though not far but it still took me 45 min to KLCC if I depart from house at 715am. If someone who work at KL and no flexible working time please stay within 20 radius, it is just too tiring to travel more than 1 and half hour to go home daily.

The banyan 1 unit I get is 740k which is 40x80 i believe? G***da house on the other hand is 20x65 is already 830k++ . This is the standard price nowadays. But yes for intermediate unit like Oleander, Senna, Bromelia, Duranta can still get around 500k+- price. Not to say, the layout is wayyy more practical and better compared to my G***da house. More user friendly and more malaysian lifestyle.

Did you know my G***da house if u wanna put tinted also got % of darkness can put hahaha. Macam JPJ sudah. I can say in the group almost like 80% of the resident really mad as cow to MO.


Kind of agree with you, if you need to go to office daily better stick with KL area, the maximum acceptable area is kota damansara (this as well only be useful area if u can commute by public), beyond that not worth it. I am grateful that I am able to be fully flexible and fully WFH.

Just sharing my perspective - I'm based in KL as well, about 8km from the city center and within walking distance to Pavilion. It usually takes me around 40-50 minutes to get to the office, and on the way back, I take the Pudu route, which can stretch up to an hour.

In my case, living 40km away but still taking an hour to commute sounds quite reasonable. At least with the longer drive, I can maintain a steady pace and possibly save some fuel in the process.

Agreed, the time spent on the road is similar to the other comment who said it takes them 45 mins within KL.

Also not sure if it’s worth mentioning, initial works for the new petrol station at the BSC entrance, opposite KIPmall has just begun.

Heard it’s new Petronas station. Getting more and more commercial activities in BSC. Nice! 🤗

8km to pavilion need 40-50 minutes...
Then you still believe BSC to KL within 1 hour??

dont like that, that's how SA and vested investor here tell story. He's probably victim of it.

True story from old uncle-type driver
BSC to Jalan Duta toll - 30 min
Jalan Duta toll to Shangri La KL - 40 to 75 min depends on jam

Any news about the SJKC in BSC guys? So far haven’t heard any news about approval for the school.

The 1 hour drive to KL from 40km away gonna be very early like depart from 630am or maybe earlier to avoid the traffic built up. If leaving office at 530pm sharp reach home will likely 7 or 730pm. Going to office we can choose to sleep earlier and get up early to depart earlier, but we can't go off early if it were fix hour finish work at 530pm.

My own opinion it is not ideal to travel 40km 1 way if we need to go to office 830pm - 530pm regardless work at KL or outside KL.

I agree, especially with flexible working hours or hybrid arrangements, finding the right home for your family becomes ideal. But for those who need to be in the office daily, proximity matters more.

For example, a 890 sqft condo within 5KM of KL for 1M might be a great option - if it suits that person? However, if I could get a spacious landed property in a well-planned township for the same price, I’d settle there and find a job that fits my lifestyle.

That said, landed properties within 20-25KM of the city center are rare unless you’re paying the same for an older subsale unit with outdated fittings. It really depends on your priorities lar.

Currently where do people send their kid to school around BSC other than private school?

actually what bro claimed is true.. just a test use-case here via google at 4pm 9/10/2024.. this is GG to KLCC twin towers, some shitty 40km.. and the toll is probably just less than RM3/each way..
