don't yam him...
those low cost walk up apartment in puchong having a hard time to rent out...
for example my downstair neighbour house has been vacant for almost a year still unable to rent out/ get buyer.

collect rent in Malaysia also is a problem if rent to a bad tenant.

With a RM1.5 mil budget - You can get most >1,600 sf double storey terrace house in Kuala Lumpur (RM1 mil threshold) with RM1,000,000, and spend RM500,000 into renovation and make it your castle.

However if you really mind about security, you can get a 1,300 sf condo in One Central Park @ Desa ParkCity with RM1.5 mil, overlooking the beautiful lake.

Thanks for your advice. Is there a crash course for the short hands?


I also like the Desa Parkcity. They will have two new projects right next to the lake next year.

Dcp ok to look for especially if you like pets.

But buy condo at mk area can almost sure burn hand. I knew few foreigner already burn hand liao. Plenty Supply keep pumping in this area. Think twice.

If you like condo living and less dense surrounding, Better look for bangsar or damansara height area. Demand is there. + lrt and mrt is connect to here

If want landed with the budget you have. Better go 6c6c at Cheras, seri kemabgan and serdang area. Next boom boom area.

Search for higher market demand. At Subang got lot of demand especially those near Subang airport. Can easily got tenant meh😃

You can target air stewardess n people work at airport only because surrounding is more industry and housing area, target those property that nearby KL city would be more reasonable and accessible to both foreigners (expat MM2H) , local and cooperate people’s

Hi beleebala,

If you enjoy golfing, maybe can consider Bukit Jalil or TTDI. There is a golf course in Bukit Jalil itself.
Nearest golf course to TTDI would be KLGCC (forgot new name) Tropicana golf course. Both about 15mins drive maybe.

Other area in my mind would be Taman Desa or Seputeh. It’s not too distant from Bangsar actually. Driving to Mid Valley takes about 5mins.

For city living, klcc area. I find the price of bukit bintang development absurd, make klcc secondary market a bargain. Many hk expat live around Hampshire (5 mins walk to klcc). For new development - Aria@KLCC which is next to Singapore embassy.

Desa Parkcity. Slow pace and many green. You can check some unsold unit for Westside 3 at developer sales office.

For dpc with 1.5m budget I would suggest landed lo

Nego gao gao for pool front Adora maybe can get 1.5m

Gd luck dide

Very good and detailed info sharing!

Good ideas. I have already visited the sales office for Westside. They are currently selling South Brook and some remaining units at the Westside 3.

What do you guys think about Bangsar South?

if you chose a good project... well connected and very convenient up and coming city center at the south... more and more MNC going in... but its a concrete jungle la... definitely not those semi-retired scene there... alot more expats around there as well... but malls and good eateries are within reach....

DPC is abit secluded located at the edge of north kl area. Kiaptong area. Within DPC itself is nice township. Not outside.

Bangsar south more center of whole klang valley area. Especially kl area. Near to mature and weathy township bangsar, seputeh Midvalley and PJ. Lrt train connected.
Almost no toll road. And easy access to highway. The area Just may become concentrate jungle. Another jialat MK

If got budget better go for bangsar (real bangsar). But not bangsar south. Bangsar south is just a bangsar wanna be.

TS is from hong kong.

Born with living in concrete jungle lah....

Perhaps TS should let us know

1. What environment you are looking for.
2. How you would like to drive for groceries food and etc
3. How important is public transporr system
4. How you like to live within the city, kuala lumpur
5. Is walking distance to chinese eateries a must or non important

Bangsar South is a ict hub. I feel it’s not a nice place for retirement. But rental is much easy as there are plenty working class expat here from IT field. For own stay my choice of condo is Centrio (ytl) or Andalucia.

The rest of the UOA condos are badly executed with all sharing similarities in terms of design and cheap material used - can consider invest if low entry but don’t expect executive level in your tenant profile. I think at majority are working class expats.

I like your condo suggestions. Centrio is really nice with their Duplex and triplex concepts but for retirement personally I would avoid stairs... Andalucia would be my preference as it is low density and has large built up sizes.

IJM also has some new offerings TS can consider which is Inwood & Secoya at Pantai Sentral Park just 5 minutes away from Bangsar South. It's more peaceful with fresh air from the forest on that side. Better for retirement than the offices part which is forever congested.

Yes you’re right. Havent thought of stairs 😅

What do you guys think about Kenny Hills? I note that it is very low density, good location but the price per square feet is rather low comparing with all the other hot locations. Why is it not hot?

Good questions. I am asking myself these questions as well.

1. Close to city but not as crowded as MK.
2. Driving no problem
3. This one I don't know as I don't know KL well enough. Can you live with just public transportation in KL? We can (have to) do that in HK.
4. I am ok with city but again, just not as dense as in MK.
5. Driving is OK

I am looking into semi-retirement, but I am still in my 40's so I still want to do a lot of activities.

Thanks guys for your advice.
