Eco Ardence is out as I want to be closer to the Chinese Taipei International school, closer to nearby beaches and closer to the KLIA airport for my ‘ taxi’/flight back to HK or nearby Singapore.
Besides, I really prefer Klang Valley south vs Klang valley north as my business associates feel the South side has more future potential and various developments e.g. HSR , ECRL etc
Thanks for the tips on ES house layout with one kitchen only.
Actually, in terms of house layout, my architect wife really likes the Tropicana Dalia semi D or the Cheria Type B semi D. Those have the spacious open floor plan feel which are really popular nowadays. The queen of the house (my wife) likes it as she can monitor everything on the ground floor from the dry or wet kitchen. Hahaha. Coming from someone who lives in a 1500sqft condo in HK, the 3200sqft Cheria maybe just nice for a family of 4. E.g. not too scarily big, nor too small. Also, with Tropicana Cheria or Dalia, my teenage son might be able to take a quick 5-10 minutes walk to school/Tenby (if he goes there). That may be a good way for us to train him to be independent. E.g. walk to school, walk to shop to buy food etc. Unfortunately, those homes are not available for rent at the moment. I may check those out later when I am ready to buy.
My wife is Malaysian. So the 2 million rule does not apply to us.
Yes. My business associate is a smart man eg cashing out of Setia Eco Park capital appreciation and moving on to newer, nicer architecture home at ES. I guess he don’t want to take all the hassle of maintaining his old Setia Eco-park house.
1. Better double check Chinese Taipei school, i checked 2 years ago and they were closed for registration (except for taiwanese) cause they were overbooked. Maybe that has changed?
2. Cheria has yet to VP hence no rental, but the Type A is 3670sqft built up. I think should still have a few units available for sale, VP will be in a month or so. Your wife can monitor everything from the kitchen as well, just do like me and knock down a wall and viola everything is opened up.
3. I agree I prefer the Dalia Semi D layout compared to Cheria, the stair design makes the house looks MUCH more spacious then its 3900sqt suggest.
4. For international school, I suggest Tenby/Oasis for logistical ease. I plan to send my daughter to either one of these as well depending on whether she want to go for British or American syllabus.
