Ara Damansara is shared prosperity gone wrong.
Govt just love to build PPR around Mid/high class properties so that the B40 don't feel 'missed' out. Then the place just becomes a shithole because of it.

Well, I think we cannot blame them. PPR exists way before Ara Damansara was built. I believe in living together as long as ppl don't vandalise the public facilities... follow the rules...

Citta Mall was the bomb for my family. Wanna catch a movie? MBO confirmed got seats. Got kids and worried they cause a ruckus? Screw it Citta Mall had so much space they can run as much as they like most of the time without banging into ppl and stalls 😂. Presto was also pretty decent but when Village Grocer took over it became better. Food selection also OK

We (family) have no mosquito issue. Just that I think the park can be better seriously...

early 2020, MBPJ did rebuild the park a little bit... things gets better actually but still I don't feel comfortable stepping in when you have all the samseng riding motor bikes in vroom vroom etc....

at night, you can hear those samseng shouting and motorcycle noise (not always)...
Actually from what I think, we the house owners should build a community to secure the place... hire security etc to make it a better park...

We have
- Seri Pilmoor semi-d residence
- Seri Pilmoor bungalow residence
- Allisia & Atilia residence
- PJU 1A/3 residence

Something can be done I believe... of course by saying is always easier than to execute the plan...

Good to know no mosquito 🦟 problem.

can't do much bout the park since it's a public park, and the PPR is the main problem in that area, with no park or open road to rempit of their own, of cause they will venture into Ara area.

Yeah previously it had some flea market during weekends too. More than what I wanted from a community mall. Also those random warehouse events.

Iinm the LRT depot and the PPR infront of it was there first. And to be fair to Sime they never market it as the next Bangsar South 😂. Ppl gravitated towards it in the 2000s as it was the last few landed developments in PJ and for its time cheap. Prices have gone up 5-6x easily these days

Hello, If you been to lembah subang PPR area, you know rules don't apply there.....the area only gotten worse, now like koboi town dah.......with illegal kedai, gerai, warung, temple, structure along the roadside......most grab driver don't even want to enter the PPR at night time as they told me some kena rob after dropping off passengers.......😨

Ara Damansara is a nice place to live. The houses and amenities are more modern and roads are so wide. Like anywhere else in PJ/KL it is jam during working hours. Can't say that the jam is better or worse than other areas.

Its a relatively new township so don't expect it to be as matured as SS2, Taman Megah or Damansara Uptown but its getting better day to day.

Except for the PPR areas, the people who live in Ara Damansara are highly educated and mostly from the T20 group. I see more benz and BMWs in houses compared housing areas such as Bangsar. Almost every other house has luxury cars.

People living in this area can exercise easily every evening and you see many people jogging on the walkways in the evening.

If you have money, Damansara Idaman is even higher end (T5 probably). You can see Porches, Lambos, Mclarens there.

In terms of access to the city, there are two train stations that you can use (Lembah Subang and Ara Damansara) but if you drive, definitely areas which are close to KL are better (example Damansara Heights > Sri Hartamas> Taman Megah > Kota Damansara). Its all about the distance from the city.

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.

I feel like Cantara tries very hard to be a high-class place but it can never be one because of the PPR, and the poor condos around there

Many of you who don't stay here don't know what you're talking about. Here's my 2P

I stay in Potpourri half the time. It has a linked bridge to Citta. This is the most atas condo in AD. There are many expat here when you go to CITTA Mall you will see them. The ID is also nice. Rental is quite high here compare to the other condos in the vicinity

The other places which I looked at such as Eves Suite (small units), H20 (no way unless you want to live in the middle of the roundabout with noise 24/7) and then Maisson (ok lah but no shops nearby. No where to eat also). Pacific Place and all the others - low end. You pay for what you get lor.

The traffic is not bad. I travel via Paradigm mall as there is a short cut to my condo. Alternatively you can go via Federal Highway if you want to avoid Tropicana/BU or LDP. The other road in is via KD. Overall traffic not as bad as Puchong, MK or Cheras.

The house size for 2 bedroom pretty big.

I reckon it's okay for family with max 2 kids la kot.

But for 800k, better spend somewhere else.

But for renting 1.4~1.8k (fully furnish), it's worth it for me.

Wow Eve suites 800k in 2018? now many listed in iproperty below 600k, lowest even 550k.

One of the best place to live in klang valley. Inside ara less traffic. But the traffic precovid times is hell. Going to subang jaya is jam. Going to Tropicana BU area is jam as hell at the tropicana traffic lights. That tunnel to BU always flooded. Yes there is PPR at the back, but u hardly see it as the area is well designed. Roads are wide and lots of food nearby. Doremi is one of them. But there always jam during lunch hour.

The Curry Mee stall opened in the daytime was good. If i'm nearby I would make it a point to buy from him.
