Currently i m staying at Pandan Indah and Pudu area... Wana get a property for own use....any recommendation..?

View some showhouse at few places..

DesaParkcity .. nice but very expensive
Sunway SPK .. next to DesaParkcity....a bit cheaper...but still not affortable
Cheras hartamas.. Ok, but sold out..

If you dont mind not to have a semi gated community, why dont you try ask arround houses like Bandar Menjalara which sits just right opposite of DesaParkCity. The cost of the middle unit is only ~350K. I'm staying here, it is a very clean and nice place to stay.

DesaParkCity = a very good town planing. I highly recommend Levenue 1& 2, because it fetch a better built-up area per price you better, and the material use is a good quality one. But it is still very expensive. ~750K for a middle unit teres

Sunway SPK = From what I heard it is not a gated community at all. DesaparkCity is the much better choice if you want to buy a house @ this price. So dont bother buying these houses.

What do you mean by semi-gated? and is that now open for viewing?...since is completed...is that still got new units on sell?

750K for a teres house? Is it really worth the price? In some parts of KL you could get a Semi D for that price.

@TS, perhaps you could list down any area of preference (near your school/work etc) and your budget? It will help others to narrow your search.

I'm kinda looking a place as well for future reference. Budget around RM400K for a place not too far from KL or PJ. Any recommendations?

Hello.

Here I come..hehe..for the first time..
1st, please do your budgeting first.How much money do you have?and how much you are willing to pay for monthly installment..

2nd, Please choose the best area. I think,based on 3 area that you have mentioned, Sunway is good.

But, I suggest you to buy property from these area:

TTDI
DAMANSARA (near the curve)
SETIAWANGSA
BANGSAR
AMPANG


Here are MOST WANTED area.

PJ is prestigious area but too trafic one.

3rd. Decide whether you want a new one or 2nd hand one.
If new one, check the location.Near accomodations or not.Near shopping complex or not. If yes..the price will rise.Untung la..but if like Bukit Beruntung, lambat gak la nak naik.

If 2nd hand, check 1st your property.The price is 1st factor.The most + ultimate factor is...RUMAH TUH ADA PROB ke tak...

Like my family, they have 3 houses in primary area.
TTDI (bought in 1989[price RM160000,now RM900000])
DAMANSARA( bought 2 years ago [price RM170 000,now RM250 000])
Bangsar(bought 10 years ago [price RM121 000,now RM500 000])

See..
choose primary area.think about your future income.

I got 1 in Bukit Beruntung...Almost 7 years completed...no ppl wana masuk stay...haiz.....

DEcided to buy new house..prefered DesaPArkCity...the environment seem to be very comfortable.....

monthly installment...i think 2.5-3.5k shud be okie for me...

It is like the housing area in Bandar Utama, where you have a few security guard, guarding the entrance. But everybody can go in and out during day time.

Bandar Menjalara just sit right opposite of DesaParkCity. It is a 20years old housing area. But the place is very clean here, every 2 to 3 days you got people come here to sweep your streets. The cost of the teres house here is only ~350K. Base on your reply, I assume that you havent visit DesakParkcity. If you come to DesaParkCity, you can find Bandar Menjalara.

DesaParkCity is one of the most prestige area in KL. A Condo here cost about~250K. A Semi-D here cost at least 1.6M to 2.0M, let alone bungalow unit. So it is very obvious tat a teres house here can cost 550K-750K. A corner unit teres can cost up to 1.1M

Both DesaParkCity and Sunway SPK is located @ Kepong. It is very obvious that she is looking for a house near Kepong area. SJMC plan to open a branch near DesaParkCity, the new Kepong Chinese School (3) is here also.

I been to DPC as well as Bandar Menjalara....the steamboat there not bad..hehe... my fren is staying there....but i though u say that Bandar Menjalara got new developed manded property..thats y i asked....

Btw, i go and round round DPC yesterday nite...really will high considered it... Already make an appointment with agent on Wed to have a look on few units on that... the price range is from 470k - 600k....

470K for DPC teres house? Are you sure? Those DSL they now cost at least 550K-600K. If you got 470K tell me I wanna know also!

If you wanna buy DPC teres house, I would suggest you look into SouthLake teres or Levenue 1 & 2. (but then all of them sold out, I guess you have to buy from second hand) Zenia is not bad also, but just beware that some of them is on strata title.

Levenue 1 & southlake got 3 storey teres. Their built-up can go to 3Ksqft. But is it not cheap also.

Dont bother look at Nadia, or Adiva.

Whats wrong with Nadia or Adiva? Those i going to see is brand new...just the units being bought by those real estate agency...

1. Nadia also have condos, the population are denser, which means there are more people going in & out everyday that compound.

2. Adiva, their have some strange design town planing. They dont look like the conventional one. I just dont like it.

ERm.....yeah..there is condo for NAdia...but haven go and have a look yet....

Both Nodia and Adiva do have townhouse...which i not sure how the design yet as well....

Southlake....asked the agent, she say she has few units on hand...the lowest price she had is 558k....will go and have a look....

How about Safa...DPC got few type...

Levenue
Safa
Adiva
Nadia
Southlake

I suggest you take Levenue 1 as your first choice, Levenue 2 as your second choice then SouthLake as your third choice.

Safa i think is one of the smallest houses in DPC. But their design is too basic like the normal one. My uncle is staying there @ corner unit. The house is not as big as levenue 1.

For sure i can guess that the LEvenue sure quite pricey....

Any other new house at kepong area?I would like to buy below RM350,000 teres house

i think Kepong Baru might hv but it's single story

Kipark Selayang looks good.. or Kipark cheras

Since when Kepong is consider a prestige area to stayed? No doubt the place looks good but it's still essentially Kepong with a different branding (in which the developers keep harping on). AFAIK you still have to go through Kepong to get in and that place is quite jammed. For that price i will rather invest in a tried and tested area like TTDI. However i will recommend DPC for those who wants to stay in that area (and with cash to burn). The pricing is too ambitious and gives a false sense of exclusivity.

Hello, if you look around the area there, it is one of the freehold land available. All of them of the housing is in high end one. Bandar Sri Damansara next to LDP caltex petrol station have semi-Ds coming, an empty land behind the seafood area in Bandar Menjalara is to be develop to semi-Ds, by SPK. That part of area is next to Mutiara Damansara and Country height Damansara.
