It is worth it to buy for 20x70 which this price? Any comment?

honestly, it's way overpriced in my opinion. i wanted to buy a unit for my own stay in SA few months back and viewed a few units but it turned out to be quite disappointing. the layout is so so and the finishing is not up to my expectation. with the price tag i expected to have better material used. next i turned my hunt to alam impian (both I&P and TTDI) and i found the quality is way better and come with larger built-up. too many investors/speculators in SA already and to me it's a no no.

Interm of Facilities and Township Development compare with Alam Impian? I think this is 1 of the point of consideration?

yes i agree with you. in terms of township planning and development, SA is going through rapid development and consists of various amenities within the vicinity. good thing is you have almost everything there but nowadays the traffic volume is increasing tremendously and getting busier each passing day. i think most area in SA is not gated only guarded. with the increasing number of people in this area and the price tag they are asking without G&G, it really turns me down.

alam impian is up and coming. at the moment it's pretty much just residential houses but both TTDI and I&P have their masterplan that include commercial and other amenities. there's also a vast piece of land adjacent to the current development and someone who I know is currently negotiating the price with state gov to buy it over for development. its location is quite strategic where it's smack right in the middle of kesas and federal highway. this area will turn out to be a hot area in the not-too-distance future i foresee. just my 2 cent.

Go checkout the subsale from Alam Nusantara @ Setia Alam by PKNS. That area can get between 460k to 550k intermediate 20x70. Latest phase Ayuprima subsale 538k to 550k good buy buildup 2000sqft, 2x2 porcelein tiles living, column free car park, open space masterbath. Ecopark bungalow at the Eastside, Anjung sari superlink/bungalow & Mentari Bungalow at Northern Side, Setia City at South side (jogging distance to Setia Mall). Upcoming bungalow at Westside. This Alam Nusantara can be said prime land for terrace house compare to SPSetia one.

Don't under estimate PKNS quality at this area & blindly compare with SPSetia brand without seeing it yourself.

where is Guardian, Watson, Popeye ... It would be good if Isetan also join this mall...

PKNS already sold out all units and most of them are sub sales. For sub sales... you need at least 10% of down-payment + Loan and S&P Legal fees (you need around 60k+). Comparing new development from SP Setia only required 5% and everything absorb by developer. This is one of the package that I think new development can provide for easier purchase.

Sushi Zanmai, Kim Gary, Italiannes, ... Mana...????

this is a valid point. if a place already has much of the desirables - nat'l/private/int'l schools, shops, a mall, convention center, sohos, even non-halal food n drinks - price won't be cheap since the market will pplace a premium on it. the key is to buy into something before all that comes onstream.

if ai will have all that is seen in setialam now, prices there will surely go higher. question is how good are the plans and when they will happen. in setialam case, much of what is seen now happened quite quickly. before that, house prices were quite low as many did not expect much although the plans were there. go 3km further to bdr bkt raja, prices are lower than ai - this also has an explanation, well understood.

Correct corect, I don't want setia alam like damansara or puchong. I want others like setia alam.
I think is enough liao, stop those any comercial area. Make it more to residential area. If you see places like PJ area, houses is lot more compare to comercial area. Too much comercial area will make the area jam jam, especially on weekend. I want a less traffic and place to go around my area.
To my suprise, those houses prices increase so much but others area too increas that much.

Well said!!!

Worth or not, I think these will still be sold out upon launching.. Genuine buyers will still need to deposit 10k bank draft for the ballot and hope for the lucky draw...

you have a lot of option with that price, to me is just ripoff!

Considering the whole township concept and access to NKVE, this is the best township...at least for KL ppl...not selangor may be..

well, all I have to say is those who BBB in SA at the early stages (remember when only EON bank and CIMB was there) did extremely well

please name some options... Want to update my database cos i couldnt find anything less than 600k for similar size, location and township planning...

FYI, setia alam is around 30km to mid valley using NKVE...

If your considering USJ also, 22x75 are more than 10 years old and are now selling for 580k, you'll need at least 100k just to redo the house to a more comfortable living condition...

dun mean to be a "show-down" btw these two townships, but do consider that AI and SA launched almost the same time.....7-8yrs ago...then deputy PM Najis went for official ground breaking in AI.......

fast forward 2011....what do you get:-

1. AI is less than 1m above sea level.....on low land......
2. AI is 50% bumi quote...meaning there is potentially 1/2 buyers are 10% cheaper than your house...(if you are non-bumi), meaning your price is heavily "subsidized" to others...
3. 7-8 yrs down the road...apa pun tiada......in terms of commercial development, common amenities like schools and sporting complexes...
4. paying tolls even if you wanna ta-pou teh tarik....at KK side....

SA starting price of the property is much lower than in AI...I guess that is one of the many reason why SA growth at much faster pace...location (bordering Klang and Shah Alam directly) also helps. Well, I guess the strategy and execution of the develop is much more result oriented compared for I&P.

AI houses are generally bigger in built up and land area.....

Both have tolls, but with the development of the retails, commercial and shopping malls, SA is much more convenient. Besides with Chinese School, international school, some how it hlep to lure more chinese....

AI is more like KK at the early stage ... the fact that it doesnt have lower cost properties like apartment or flat at this point of time, will pretty much having middle class people....the cheapest house also close to 600k now...

both offering certain uniqueness and no point to argue too much which one is better on the overall as people would have their own preference.....I like SA beause of the more convenient and better township (as of now) .....I like AI because of the overall concept (green, lake) if they could implement it as such...maybe after it is more developed....the gaps will be very small between both....as both are developed by decent developers...

I really wonder how the makan gaji people can get a big house.

You mean the freehold land rite for the USJ? SA mostly is freehold if i am not mistaken coz people would surely pay more to get it and they have the ability to pay for it rite?
