If u wan premium feel, Alix seems better?? Which one noisier, NSE or Duke? Location which one better? Pool, would u use it freq, or just good to have??
WHICH ONE SHOULD I BUY?? A bit detailed below but so you get a better picture... 🙏
D’BRIGHTTON - RM754K, 1324sqf, 41-/F, Tasik & KL view, LH, maintenance fee RM4xx/mth.
PROS
• Nicer pool & jacuzzi podium than Alix. I will use but not that frequent.
• Way nicer view than Alix and highly unlikely to be blocked. May even be one of the best views of KL. Especially when I’m on the 41/F.
• No noise & dust
• Monthly maintenance fee is good - RM0.33/mth
• Dual key (but I intend to utilise the whole unit for own stay).
CONS
• Kitchen a bit too small. Yard very small. I will need to break down a wall and convert the toilet to expand the yard.
• Surroundings a bit isolated for me. Been living next to PWTC for 24yrs - I find B’Brightton a bit ‘sepi’.
• 2 access roads but jam for part of the way. And trying to get into Jln Genting Kelang from near the condo is quite harrowing at times.
• My friend commented that the showroom quality sucks. It didn’t give her confidence for the project.
• Developer has a strong base in Penang. First project in Klang Valley.
ALIX - RM1,155K, 1744sqf, 14/F, Highway & KL view, FH, maintenance fee RM662/mth.
PROS
• Luxurious and can I say, more upmarket location..?
• Well known developer - TA Global
• Happy with the size. I love open kitchen. This comes with both open kitchen & wet kitchen. Good sized yard. Many storage opportunities.
• Freebies like fully fitted bathrooms, fully fitted kitchens, airconds, washer/dryer, fridge. D’Brightton only comes with fully fitted bathrooms.
CONS
• Expensive monthly maintenance fee (But waived for first 12 months) - RM0.38/mth.
• Kiara North can get very jammed in the morning because of the French International School. Another international school in the pipeline (currently the project is on hold, with an ugly abandoned construction site). Only 1 access road but apparently another one will be built linking to Jln Kiara 3. Anyway, we don’t work 9-5...
• My unit is only on the 14/F, facing the above mentioned abandoned school and the highway (with KLCC in the distance). Not much concern with the highway since the unit comes double glazed. But I’m worried whether the land where the school is gets sold and another high rise got built right in front of my balcony. Or the other empty land is the land between Alix and the shell station (Apparently that shell had been bought by Gamuda for a small MRT3 underground station..?) - Not sure whether another high rise can be built there..
I avoid buying the unit facing Kiara North due to the sure to be developed Kerjajaya project land there.
