Hi,

May I get your opinions on this.

I plan to move out from my setia alam house. I am considering these 2 options with both pro & cons. My main consideration are :

1. Child education - prefer to send my kids to private school.
2. Traffic
3. Security
4. Surrounding environment

Option 1 :

Move to Setia Eco Park

Pro :

1. Landed Semi D.
2. Environment is good and with big road, big garden within the GNG area.
3. Near to Tenby private school.
4. Familiar with Setia Alam already since almost 5 years in Setia Alam.

Con :

1. Far away from my working place in PJ.
2. Traffic in Setia Alam is getting worse day by day.
3. Expensive. I think no more room to go up further. Only can own stay.


Option 2 :

Move to PJ - My top choice is 5 Stone Condo in SS2.

Pro:

1. Near my working place.
2. Location is super strategic.
3. Facility is good within the Condo. Kids will love it.
4. This condo might have room to appreciate.

Con :

1. Condo (not landed). Smaller space.
2. Surrounded by all old housing in SS2. Road is smaller, space is limited as compare to setia alam (a new township)
3. Might have less interaction for kids with neighbor. for condo, most of the time, you only hi and bye with your neighbor ( I stayed in condo for almost 10 years before move to Setia Alam)


Hope you can provide your opinion or insight!! Thanks a lot!

There will always be pros & cons between the 2 choices. No right or wrong answer. I think the right answer is discuss with ur home minister which 1 best fit ur family.

Absolutely PJ. and since you're thinking to get 5 stone, which is great, nice environment and cosy surroundings.

think of this way, you get to have more quality time with your kids and so near to your working place which means get to have more rest, it's a good choice.

If own stay, I would choose landed. Then look for investment properties next.

Evaluating below options and for sure you will get an answer for your hard earn money or saving :-
Option 1: buy Setia Eco Park landed and stay for 5 years then sell it and buy 5 Stone
Option 2: buy 5 Stone and stay for 5 years then sell it and buy Setia Eco Park landed

Hmm from all your point given..
The choice should be PJ

But I suggests to "talk" with your wife first.. Get her feedback.. Don't simply make your own decision..

If stay in PJ, weekend can go the Taman Tun Dr. Ismail Recreation Park and the Protected Forest for yr family day. Otherwise take motorcycle for work but dangerous.

Long term i favour ecopark appreciation vs 5stones condo...

Someone in the family need to sacrify...
Moving to condo doesnt mean everybody will be living happy ever after.

Money will never enough one, mayb 1 mil is already enough for u but another option can give u additional 200k subject to compromise ur time and spirit, then even setia eco park could give much higher appreciation i also wont consider to buy for own stay, i will rather save that additional time to do some other thing..
