Renting in Eve Suite currently. Peak hour traffic memang celaka both sides.  sweat.gif

But the place is really convenient. KJ Line LRT is connected at 1st floor.
Residential car park occupancy also macam barely 50% occupied.

Used to live there for nearly 10 years. The LRT stations are a plus point. Accessibility when there is no jam another. Many smaller roads leading out to KD, BU, PJ, Glenmarie and also major roads leading out to the NKVE, Federal highway and USJ. In the beginning nothing much to shout about in terms of food and shopping but slowly getting better and self sufficient.

But my god was it a pain to get in an out during peak hours because of the jam. And if you have kids there really is a shortage of good schools nearby. All are at a distance away. SK Taman Megah if you want to go kebangsaan or SJKC Damansara for Chinese.

Also with the PPRs there snatch theft is a problem. Not all PPRs are crime hotpots, some of the lower density ones are pretty ok decent places to live. The ppl there also are freaked out by the snatch thefts.

Just watch out when walking in general. Common spots are the roads in front of NZX leading to the LRT station and the big park next to Seri Pillmoor. The park is a real waste, when it was opened it was full of ppl. Then it got vandailised and there were several cases of robberies and less ppl frequent it

We had a dialogue with the local police before and the suspects for most of the petty crime in the area are the inhabitants of the PPR in front of the LRT depot. The high density ones.

But if you're in Eve suite then you're ok I guess, the LRT station is just next door. Just take care when walking to Citta Mall.

Dude you should see it when it pours. And when the Subang airport road is flooded as well as the Tropicana tunnel. Thats two of the major exits sealed off. Then you literally have ppl trapped inside Ara Damansara. And the traffic gets backed up all the way to the entrance of my housing area haha

Still nice place to live la. I miss the place sometimes

I like how the place is more planned, there's a designated commercial area, designated supermarket and community mall (citta), also really love how there's cheap accessible food as well (6.50 meals at kopitiam), saying this as I stay in subang previously, food mahal gila and sure no parking at the cheap food area like ss15 taipan and also all the roads everywhere sure busy 24/7 bad quality of life

aw not really. I live at Cantara now and frequently went to the park next to Seri Pilmoor.

Usually when i go jog and go back at 7pm, usually few guys lepak at the park entrace at their motor and i always felt in danger due to it. (ya the vandalize part really a waste lah)

But if earlier time with lots of people seems fine.

For the common spots infront of NZX i didn't know about any stories so far.

Wish i knew at least 1 story so i can tell my friends to be aware haha.

😂 You want a story. Go deeper into the park. Check out the gazebos inside. Sometimes you will find discarded handbags and wallets. Snatch thieves usual go there to sort out their loot, take the money and dump the bags and wallets there.

But on a serious note. Remember several years back there was that young man who was killed in Kelana Jaya by snatch thieves? They hit him with a chain and stole his bag. It was caught on cctv. His bag was found in this park by a resident. The local resident's association informed the police and they beefed up patrols but end of the day couldn't catch the culprits.

Nice place la don't worry. Just be careful 👍

I'm staying at Ara Damansara for 13+- years now... I like this place but yeah the traffic is very bad during peak hours. Luckily I don't have to travel during super peak like 7-9am and 5-7pm... So I managed to avoid the jam most of the time.

Other than that the road access to 1U, Pyramid is just on the right distance.... LRT is also convenience as well.

I don't usually walk outside my gated housing area so it's pretty much safe within the housing area.

You can find food from hawkers to chain restaurants...

The park is really wasted... I'm living right beside the park... Like 10 seconds away but really... Don't even know if I ever step into the park for the past 1-2 years...

It was beautiful at first but spoiled by the visitors from PPR...

Surprised that the police and authority know about this, but yet do not really take more pro active steps to curb this from happening. Maybe more patrol and light up the area and safer pedestrian walk.
