So far so good. Just the water level at the lake/river raised yesterday. This morning went down. People still jogged at the park like usual.

Looking at the size of the plot most likely will be just shoplots like e-Eight nearby. But don't know when it will be built.

Yes strata landed

Nope. EV series is finished. Have to wait for Elmina Peak or Ridge series if aiming to be near EV. But don't know yet when SDP will launch them. Now only Elmina Green and Elmina Grove are on sale. Not sure if they will finish developing these precints first before opening others. If anyone has info what is in the pipeline would be good.

The best plot for me I think is Elmina Ridge, just at the boundary of forest reserve, now can see mist around the E Ridge area from EV. Must be cool there. Not going to be cheap for sure.

So many subsales to choose from if you are ok with subsales from all precints available including Denai Alam.

Outdated look or not is subjective. For me, E Gardens designs are nice and different a bit from other Elmina phases which use bare brick and vent block facade. More variety I would say. After all, E Gardens is the first phase of Elmina after Denai Alam.

Not that accurate I would say, because a lot more people coming from the surrounding area outside Elmina. Of course it is skewed.

I think it is like this. Let say the house is 1M. The SnP will state 1M and they cannot change that. The booking also will follow this SnP price. Let's say they give you 10% discount, the net price of the house is actually 900k. However, because the SnP is 1M practically you can get all the 900k (90% of SnP price) by bank loan, without forking out any deposit. Still the net is 900k. If you still want to put a deposit of 100k because you want to be conventional and lower the monthly payment, just take 800k (80%) loan.

Probably this is what your SA meant, and how SDP structure their price and discount or rebate. To be sure can ask them to produce the calculation including all the discount and rebate breakdown.

If from the rebate you get extra money from the bank loan you get, be cautious as this is not free money. Personally, I will just only look at the nett price and work out the financing part from there as it shows the true value of the house.

Double post

Maybe it will be called Ilham Residence 3 😁. Easy.

36 x 70 is not small compared to terrace house 20 x 70. Like Rimbun Sanctuary in Bukit Jelutong it is not cheap. Well, let's see. But only 62 units only.

I would say their quality is a hit and miss, depends on their sub contractors. Some are really good and some really bad. I have 2 props here and so far they are ok. But I also heard some of my neighbors complained about theirs. After all, only who have bad experience will make noise right, and we don't say anything when everything is ok. As the developer SDP should ensure the consistency of their sub con better laa.. dont just depend on brand reputation only. Later the brand will be tarnished too.

I cannot speak for all, only from my limited knowledge. From what I know and based on my viewing, the denai alam phases like Willow Park, Thistle Grove, Maple Terrace have good quality. My friend in Tiana also seems have no complain. My EV3 is ok so far, but some of neighbors complained leaking too. Just got key for Reesia, and I don't have much complain on defect other than cosmetics. Maybe others have more issue.

That's why I said it is kind of mix bag. In term of defect rectification, it is reasonable, can get fix in less than 1 month in my experience. Fastest, today complain and tomorrow they come. Maybe I did the defect early before everyone submitted.

Yes. Ilham is under flight path. Suggest to test your tolerance a few times before commit. Park your car in front of Ilham show house as more or less the location is around there. Yes can attest the sound is milder under the roof but still can be nuisance for some.

The clubhouse is going to be built in front of Ilham 2 and besides Tiana. You can see the empty plot there now. But seems nothing starts yet. Don't know when they promised to build it to Ilham 1 purchasers.

On a side note, the Elmina City Center is taking shape now, they are also currently building the second bridge parallel to the rainbow bridge. Hopefully will be up soon and boost the commercials of this area.

Just do a thorough research and make an informed decision before committing in any. If you go inside Setia Alam forum, they also have their sorts of problem regarding quality, land sinking, flood, air pollution, traffic etc. No place is perfect unless have unlimited money to spend. Just have to weight what you can tolerate and what not. All the best.

Old trick by developers, later claim 100 percent booked in 2 seconds 🤣. Soft launch for god knows how long already.

Usually at the slope they do cut and fill to make the slope flat. At the cut area is usually ok, but at the fill area usually needs to wait for the soil to settle down. Looks like EV3 here. The cut area I think is the clsosest one to guardhouse, once go to the back is fill area. Btw this is a shitty job la.

Elmina Green Six

Ya my row also is like 50% chinese. Don't know where people get the idea. The racial mix I think is healthy here without being too heavy in any particular race.

Bukit Jelutong is always for middle/upper class Malay area from the beginning. When asked few of my friends there , the residensts are happy with the area now with the commercials that are available now in Radia and the shoplots all over the townships, just enough and not too crowded .

Don't want to comment much about Elmina. For now, the take up rate of the continuous launching year by year ( maybe the highest numbers of landed houses released in KV every year by a single developer ?) seems pretty good for the townships to mature. See 5 years from now, after Lakeside Mall complete maybe?

Btw, I am just amazed at how SDP does the marketing, to make standard double storey house looks like a new invention after every launch when they are promoting it 🤣. now promoting their EG6

At Elmina City Center. Near Lakeside Mall there.

The persiararan atmosfera connecting to Kwasa is in the MBSA plan already, that's why on the Kwasa side, the name is still Persiaran Atmosfera that connects to Persiaran Jati Kota Damansara. But I think MBSA just doesn't want to forkout any money and wait for the developer of that area to buils the road. Like that die la when will it be.

This connecting road benefits Kwasa for easy access to Guthrie and Elmina for MRT and access to Kota Damansara. Will take a some traffic load from Jln Sg Buloh too.

Two things that can greatly improve the road here is this connecting road and also making Persiaran Cekerawala to 4 lanes all the way.
