Thanks for the info..very helpful in narrowing down my search.

How much is roughly the hses at PH 6 and 7 ?

Ph's 1 is called lrt not mrt

While certain parts of PH may be just about 11m above sea level, it is not the entire PH.

PH is about 7xx acres and certain parts closer to USJ is actually around 30m above sea level.

Depending on which section of PH you choose, to generalize the entire PH at 11m is a bit inaccurate.

Of course higher elevation does offer some protection against floods, it is not the only criteria and some area might have high elevation but it's surrounding could be very low resulting in floods even after a minor storm. E.g. The entrance to Sky Condominium in Puchong is very high but the road before the Shell petrol station near the entrance is low resulting often the roads are partially flooded after a down pour.

Similarly persiaran kewajipan also use to flood after a downpour in the past but since the last big flooding, MBSJ has cleared the clogging and improved the drainage. It hasn't flood since then.

While elevation is important, I don't think it should be the only criteria you should be looking at. A combination of good developer, good local council, good workmanship, good community and good drainage design are all important. Higher elevation also comes with landslide risk, so you need to ensure the drainage is good otherwise it's also a concern as there could be soil movement.

Like my boss use to say, got pros sure got cons...ya

Happy hunting ....ya

putra heights only accesabile by elite highway if not mistaken, so if wanna go to kl by car, only option is elite highway.

correct me if wrong.

My buddy's car got trapped in traffic going back to PH during the major floods 2 yrs ago and was written off as total loss. So even if your hse is on elevated ground, you may be unlucky that the flood happened while you are heading back home.

😳😳😳
Boss, drive around PH and you'll find more exit....

is a bit distance towards to KL

As a resident of Putra Heights I have to say that this location is not bad at all.
With the interchange before LDP coming from USJ side, we're completely free from getting stuck in LDP Puchong traffic everyday after 4pm.
Going home is a breeze from Shah Alam/USJ comparing to those coming/going back towards Puchong.
So far I'm enjoying so much the serenity and convenience around this location, do hope SD Serasi won't bring in too much traffic.
LRT Subang Alam and Putra Heights are equally close from where I live.
When taking LRT my friends were indeed jealous about not having to choose SP or KJ line.

Within this locality there is ready population catchment to spend $$ but lack of businesses and retails.
Whether successful or not, it all depends on how the developer is gonna make access to the site and who is the retail operating team.
Retail in OneCity isn't successful, however across from it Mainplace is doing good business with the right mix of tenants (not forgetting that it used to be abandoned).
Lunch and dinner time are always busy even on weekdays.

Guys any thoughts abt the new Sime Darby Putra Heights Sentral 'township' project? Thinking of buying a unit in Serasi Residence since its very near to the LRT station and shops.. btw I saw a few of you using the abbr 'htc' and 'sdp' may I know what's the meaning? Thanks

PH 7 is GnG but price is slightly higher

PH 9 and 10 got some areas are gated but design very dated and old

For PH9 there is a big mosque and jam during Fri

For PH10 its opposite rumah selangorku apartment and right beside is a big empty land which is gonna be high rise rumah selangorku as well

Either u go for PH7 or PH6 side for newer house types

May I know where is the location of "that big empty land in PH10" whereby the govt will build Rumah Selangorku ?

I think I have it.
PM ur contact and I'll send it to you.

Every phase in PH has its pros and cons.
Section 7 may be FnG but that is reflected in the pricing and certain layout is not standard, may not be everyone's cup.of tea.

Other phase also have their own guards and each community is working with the guards and nearby police station in Section 8 to ensure security in each phase. Thanks to this co-op, the numbers of break in has greatly reduced.

Part of Section 9 has recently been fenced up with similar fencing type as Section 7. So there is progress but at a slow pace.

The 1700 units of RSK is towards the very end of PH and the main roads leading out is a 3 lane (one way) wide road with 2 traffic light junction. I believe this can accommodate the increase traffic as you can read, it is underutilized at the moment.
The good thing is most section like 7, 8, 9 and 10 are located upfront with the RSK located at the back. So residents can exit further up the road and avoid the traffic light junction, if not 2, at least 1.

Hope this set some perspective on the concern raised.

For me freehold and G+G are not the most important factors to consider
Putra Heights is located above Klang River, average sea level about 11m which I don’t think is safe, look for higher ground if you can afford, the danger of river overflow like Taman Sri Muda is there, may be not now, who knows…

Hi,

Thanks for pointing this out. Its true that PH is surrounded by Klang River.

Anyone knows if the place has been flooded before ?

You are truly god by keeping all those original brochures

Boss,
I'm just a toilet cleaner. Don't see me so high....

After launching, got left over brochures, so I keep them.
That time thinking if can sell to the old newspaper guy, maybe can make RM5.00 per stack. Unfortunately didn't sell...
