I have renting a 301sq ft studio unit in Centrestage in Section 13, PJ, for more than a year now. (due to separation from wife who likes white men and big black men, fallout from investments gone sour)

I must say staying here is quite convenient as it has many F&B outlets like Delle, Movida, Good Food & Co, a Post Office,a few mixed rice/nasi kandar places, a supermarket (Jaya Grocer in Jaya 33), mall (Jaya mall) with cinema and Cold Storage and other amenities like a Sports toto outlet and several banks, all within walking distance in Section 13 and 14.

The girls here are ok but the local amois are mostly Chinese ed and girl next door type.

Traffic is relatively smoother in this part of PJ compared to the area around Jaya One, but it's still pretty bad. There are plenty of idiot drivers who park on the road outside Plaza 33 and Best Western Hotel PJ blocking the traffic flow.

Occupancy rate is Centrestage is high but 99% are tenants and most of these are those with limited budgets - local and foreign students, some (young) office workers, and substantial number of foreign blue-collar workers who work in convenience shops and F&B outlets nearby. About 50% locals and 50% are mostly Bangladeshis, Middleeastern, Filipinos, Indonesians, Thais, Indians from India and Chinese from China. The "rich" expats, "desireable" expats like whites, Japanese and local PMEBs (managers, senior execs etc) are very few.

The tenants throw rubbish all over the place - there was a comment on Facebook about it being like a "low-cost flat".

And be warned that Centrestage (or at least some units) suffers from pest/bug infestation - I've encountered ants and cockcoaches and it's very hard to kill them all, plus a couple of creatures that I've never seen before. I suspect they were brought in by foriegn workers.

RM1300 for f/f, bro!

Aren't there better options with ur kinda budget?

1300?

howabout you rent from me at RM1300 for master room

1300 sebulan?? bayar duit muka moto ex5 lps kowt

bila invite me to yr unit bro?

The 301sf ft units are selling for around RM300k. Yes, can pay installment but it'll be very very difficult to sell off later at a profit cause it's leasehold and already RM1000 per sf. Plus the apartment has numerous worksmanship issues and defects - waterspots on celling, paint peeling off, etc - and the bugs/ants. I'll glad I didn't buy.

Yes, but this is the new apartment closest to my workplace. Convenience > all.

Yup, commercial rate. Water bill minimum RM36. Car park no need pay extra - comes with unit.

Neglect the naysayers...

I think ur doing good 😊

Rental quite cheap imo...also already furnish with built in kitchen cabinet... I think u got a fair and good deal

Good and you found out, what i mean is others apartment. Rent is hassle free from alot issues.

Just PM me when you want to come over ...

Studio - privacy.
Master room in shared apartment/hse - no privacy.

i'm thinking to rent that place too since i work in quill 9 so near. but it is commercial title, how much do you pay for electrical ?

so good

Ahh.. I miss the Studio Apartment days.
Mine a little bit spacious thou...

Too bad there's no good one here in Kota Kinabalu.
I don't mind getting one as SoHo. Work and live in 1 place.

dunno if his picture or taken from propwall

How to open the shower room glass door? Seems not enough space to open fully.

About RM28, but I turn on air-con 2-3 hours only each day.

PJ cost of living is obviously not cheap

Actually got enough space .... that's just optical illusion.

1300 come rent my studio. 410 sqft at hartamas FF without carpark

Wow bro 50% bangla is very high bro, you sure?? I thought studio apartment is a class higher then low cost flats, am I wrong???

What is your place name? What's the local with foreigners ratio???

It's 50% local 50% foreigners , not 50% bangla

What's your place's name?

300 ftq just like standard hotel size right?

Sri Hartamas Plaza Damas
very tight security

But still that is quite a lot of foreigners right???

I see

So your old thread about your cheating wife was no joke huh
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3807358&hl=

Damn.. Cant imagine 300sqft.like one room only. 1300.i rather look for somewhere else further with bigger space

I can’t get it that people waste money on pigeon box cramped living just because they are in the 'middle of city'

So nearby just a walkaway shopping mall is justification to live like banglas...

Ya but according to #Wanie404 it a lie Women never cheat

without carpark
park where then?

I always wonder who the hell lives in a place like this.

Now I know....

28 only? not using fridge , laundry and water heater those ?

car park pay la .... car park belong to management
hahhahah

kesian 2" bro

about the pest issue if you can befriend those pest control guys ask them sell you this liquid which is milk colored.
it is a very very strong pest control poison.
when in liquid form it is even dangerous to human's thus not sold in open market.
mix with 1/4 water use a kiddy paint brush to "paint" entry and exit points of the house like windows and doors.
make sure those areas u paint u will not be touching it even if dry.

How are the ground floor shops at Plaza Damas doing?

My uncle is looking for a small shoplot or retail lot for f&B biz.

These days apartments in popular areas like Subang, Sunway, PJ all filled with foreigners.

f/f means full furnished lor. You can move in with just clothes and laptop.

Include use fridge, washing machine,, etc lah.

record what?

now i think ok a bit compare with last 10 year, but walk in i think stil less

I mentioned about Centrestage PJ is a few months ago in one of the /k threads.
one of my clients stay there and I absolutely hated to go there.

ugh, rubbish place.

video for my channel lor lol

bilik kecik lektrik kurang guna. jimat utk long terms. easy to manage.

There is a 360 sq ft show Apartment in IKEA. Those who want to feel it can go there. I think it is quite nice and liveable for a couple.
