I had a high interest to purchase an unit in Reesia to the extend of initiating loan application.
I really like the generous space and goodies.
However, I decided to withdraw this mainly because of the flight path.

After some googling, living under the flight landing path will pose greater health risk.
Noise pollution is the obvious one but the air pollution is invisible.
IMO, the risk is greater than staying nearby to HTC...

that is why i gave up keana elmina garden and end up got a subsales unit at denai alam... cheaper, bigger even though it's 3 years older.

you may want to check all the arrival flights (landing) from flightradar for clearer picture on how frequent are the landing flights. there are very less flight between 11pm-5am.

With the expansion plan of subang airport, I will safely assume that the frequency of airplane landing will increase significantly in the coming years.

I'm wondering what are the feedback of residents in kg melayu subang who have been living there for years...

But with the expansion, the path might change too??

what kind of expansion sir? additional run way?

One of the Subang Airport expansion plan is to increase the passengers capacity from 1.5m to 5m.
And I don't think flight path will be changed.

They may/may not add new runway but let's assume the existing runway will be busier.

Yes

I would say less/no impact to other phases (e.g: Elmina Valley 1, 2, etc).
Only Elmina East is affected.

QUOTE(Humanoid @ Sep 20 2019, 06:07 PM)
but i was wondering why would Sime Darby place higher end/premium house (superlink, Semi D like Reesia) in the east where there's direct flight path on top of it? it must be a reason?
*
Why not?
Thinking in another way, Elimnia garden has lower density a.k.a less units to push.

In fact, the premium units selling price is very tempting here considering the size and goodies thrown in by SD.
They also put in great insulation materials below the roof to block the noise and heat.
As mentioned by some forumers here, you don't really hear it inside the house... for now.

My SA was good enough to remind this flight path issue and asked if I mind.
He even stopped the car and let me listen to the noise.
Honestly, the noise is still acceptable inside the car/house but my major concern is the invisible air pollution by airplane's emission.
This is supposed to be the major selling point of elmina with great surrounding natures..

ur unit in Elmina Garden? cause I tot they sell it as premium product, plus selling at premium price, suppose to have premium location as their selling point also...

I didn't buy because health concern is really the deal breaker.

No idea why SD placed the "premium" product here.

There were a few discussions about the flight path issue in this thread.
Please try to search back to know more.

Generally, this is a deal breaker for me.
I don't mind about the noise in the house but cannot convince myself when I'm out in the garden. (was aiming for semi-d earlier).
Furthermore, the potential air pollution hazard is invisible.

Eventually, I opt for other place.

Air pollution is one of my concerns also. But as I stay abt 300m away from LDP, I don't think it is any worse than that. Also at 5-6km from SZB, the planes are still high enough for the wind to disperse the pollutants. At least that's how I'm justifying to myself to consider Elmina (still haven't buy). Any experts with more scientific explanation would be helpful!
It is easy to google to find article related to pollution below flight path.
One example: https://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-0529-la...0529-story.html
Anyway, this doesn't mean the articles are proven valid.

Btw, which other place did you opt for?

Accidentally found a hidden gem in Puchong.
New, bigger, cheaper and freehold in more established city.
Loan rejected unit... don't think if there is anything left.
