Yup we all have different preferences. Same like argument undercon vs subsale. Some people like to see actual finished product first so they don't get blinded by developers promises.

Anyway what's done is done. I viewed the available units and I didn't like it because of reasons stated above. I'll go away from this thread now since it's not in my interest anymore. All the best to you guys!

Enjoy your new property! Congrats .

Propertyguru listing 446units for rent. Serene got 894 unit total. Another project bound to fail?

Room facing walls, slow lifts, dark corridors, smelly lake what else?

At least their facilities are nice

Downlights? Nice of you to emphasise my point about the lack of direct sunlight there.

From the photo its almost night time. Offcourse switch on down lights.. you really need to check your eyes mate. How bright you want the corridor to be? Place the sun directly at the corridor?

I'm just listing things based on my observation when viewing the unsold units.Corridor was not bright at all. Lift had to wait for quite long but the SA said 2 out of 5 is not in service 'on purpose'

The unit layout also very depressing. Imagine you pay 1m and windows for 3 out of your 4 rooms are facing walls/other units very close by

When taking buggy from sales gallery to the condo really can smell wor. Idk if its the industrial smell or just lake smell like that.

Then I saw propertyguru so many listing for rentals. All I can say is good luck to the investors. I really cannot see how this condo value can increase anymore since it is at such a premium already

Thanks for sharing. For premium price condo, the layout should be better designed, can't have windows facing walls/other units.

Yes very much agreed. People should go see and form their own judgement. After all it's their money.

Me personally I went ahead and booked sunway dhill just for their layouts. You cannot beat 4 rooms all facing reserve forest and morning sun. When you add in the balcony size, it's just wow.

Whether I go ahead with this dhill booking is another matter. Maybe I prefer landed idk but all I know is for me after viewing both, I like sunway dhill much more than serene

The forest reserve is indeed better than a big lake

Pretty sure all are try luck listing, i daily receiving calls of CEO , Manager , Family all want to rent my unit laugh.gif

Lift is not slow, maybe that day you unlucky got the 3 lift which is not working. Tower B initially have this issue during early days of VP.

Corridor is not dark at all, you can have a look again.

Lake seriously i not sure why everyone that drive says its smelly when i walk around its ok. Anyway i have nvr encounter smelly lake from any of the lower floor G to 6th floor. Pretty sure the units facing the lake don't have this problem (mine included)

West, that's good. What's the typical rental price now?

My prediction - sunway D’Hill buyers are gonna be frustrated every weekend.

That sunway D’Hill surrounding road is packed full of cars parked every weekend for “nature lovers” to go hiking.

I would know. My current apartment is the one next to D’Hill. And I am also a sunway serene owner.

D’Hill area is nice to stay, but it has its cons, the weekend packed parking is one, then occasionally you’d have rempits from the surrounding low-cost flats, police frequently patrol the area at night, my car was stolen before here, so it’s not that safe - too many low cost flats/apartments around.

It’s also a dengue hot spot area (me and wife have both had dengue here). Just few days ago all the units in my apartment complex got free dengue treatment from government officials to put into any stagnant waters in our unit 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t imagine 50 floors of D’Hill gonna get government officials going to the unit one by one handing it out, hahahaha

Monkey is also a nuisance at D’Hill area - they will mess up your rubbish looking for food. And D’Hill area is a Malay/Muslim majority area (if it bothers you) there will be prayer call 5x a day, and you will hear it at 6 am in the morning.

Not to mention the horrible traffic jam every morning trying to get out of this area. Expect 30 mins for you to travel from D’Hill to LDP during peak hours. Bottleneck at ikea area there as too many apartments & condos.

I like staying at this area, but since I have the apartment next to D’Hill, that’s why I bought sunway serene. I can have the forest view and mini sunway water park at serene.

Puffy, what do you mean about corridor fully enclosed? The photo shows a corridor that has a big open area?
Means some floors have enclosed corridors, some have open ?

Agree with the facility. Just went visiting my friend whom did a house warming

Overall below is my pro and con

Pro
1) nice facility and finishing
2) very spacious lobby and entrance
3) unit finishing is good

Cons
1) the damn lake smell can be bad to logi bad. Most of the time window is closed so the smell is less during raining time acc my friend (his unit is low floor)
2) window is facing into other person unit. If want privacy curtain must be closed all time if u need the window open



I feel the however the price is on a higher side to be honest.

Ya, previously before construction the lake is full of rubbish, now they clean it and beautify it to be a lake with jogging track.
Even built the private link way to go into sunway serene without have to jam outside during peak hour.

There are much better condos nearby selling for much cheaper with better connectivity than serene. The only reason i can think of is the easy entry into buying new from developer rather than sub-sale which will require heavy capital upfront. I never liked the enclosed corridor design because it feels cramped and less premium, however the good point is that it prevents rain from wetting the corridor.

Apparently the open corridor design was complained by many residents and extra windows were then installed to make it enclosed later on. I, too, liked the initial open corridor but found the rain to splash in and will be a hazard for residents.

Agree, corridors should not be wet from rain, but should not be too enclosed. They don't have awning style designs above the open spaces? How do other successful condos design them so that open corridors but no rain water splash in?

I see, a combo of these would be good , ensure there's air flow and lighting but no water
