I remeber signing for my ev5 unit a security system agreement where SD will build a parameter fencing, guard house and fund 1 yr for security

Hey, is there a Whatsapp Group for owners of EV5?

went to Elmina last Sunday to see the progress of EV5, but didn't see any pillar/structure yet. To existing residence, how was your experience during under-construction process? I mean is SD deliver the house on time? I'm just afraid that they can't complete the EV5 in a year time (expected to be completed in early 2021).

how is it??? i saw the video only...

From what I can see in Elmina Garden, SDP have built the fencing and guardhouse (not the shabby type) for the residents. Quality of finishing based on viewing a few properties - looks ok, above average.

One thing I notice is that they don't cut grass even around the showroom - looks like an abandoned showroom. Showroom outside environment wasn't impressive but I guess they have been able to sell so can't even bother to maintain their landscaping or build show units. Also, landscaping may be MPSA's responsibility...

Commercial area - I guess Bukit Jelutong and Ara Damansara are reference points. But we should also consider Subang Jaya to be fair - which has a rather successful commercial area. Bukit Jelutong I think they were stuck with a 70% bumi 30% non-bumi quota by MPSA so the commercial area didn't really take off (plus the commercial areas were quite small)

Elmina - if go according to masterplan - should be quite "wong" given the scale/size of the commercial area with mall, offices, healthcare, MRT, LRT. But this is probably 15 years down the road!

Definitely sold out, bcos high rebate offered from SDP rite?

Is the dotted line indicating a new proposed MRT, branching off from MRT1 towards Elmina?

Is elmina a good place to live with? Price range actually consider high?

Wahhhh... Elmina decoration...

Every township has its pros and cons. I have been living in Elmina Valley 4 for the past one year, here’s my few thoughts:

1. Initially I stayed in Kepong but decided to get a landed here. Love the serenity here and its location right next to forest reserve. Every morning you’re greeted by the morning mist and fresh air. I personally love to run around the park and Elmina Central Park is big enough for you to go for your morning run.

2. Love how close the bonding amongst the neighbours here. The neighbours have a good mixtures of every races, Chinese population is around 30%. People tend to stereotype other races but I chose good neighbours over races. Sometimes Chinese neighbours can be nasty too. There’s a group chat to connect each other and we had occasional gotong royong, sports events. Felt more warmth here compared to the PJ area.

3. Got to admit that the location is not that close to city centre but is within acceptable range. 30 mins drive to PJ and Sunway. 45 mins to KL using NKVE. Somehow get used to it after one month time. BTW I worked in KL Sentral. But this is up to everyone’s preference and tolerance level.

4. There is only one Chinese food choice for now, located at Denai alam. If you want more choices, would need to visit Subang Bestari or Kampung Baru Subang, which is around 15 mins drive away. The closest SJKC is also located at kampung Baru subang.

5. There is lack of commercial centre now on Elmina. Not sure Temu will be booming but at least is a good start. The township would need another 10 years to reach the sufficient population to initiate a shopping mall I guess.

6. There are defects in my units mainly due to water leakage. But not that bad compared to some of my neighbours. Need a few rounds of follow up with SD for rectification.

7. EV 4 is not under the flight path directly but sometimes you might hear sounds from the plane. Maybe 3 times a day. But wouldn’t cause that much of disturbance.

My POV, love where I stay now with no regret. Can’t really compared with other matured township like Setia Alam, it’s still a fairly new township and hope that SD can do more works to lobby for connection to DASH and commence the construction work for Elmina City Centre to fetch more future population.
