Lol are you serious? Please don't give wrong advise. Old 23 years old BK5 semi d also you cannot afford (972k 3rd reauction for BK5 semi d LELONG). Please don't give wrong info.

If you have a budget of 800k, you can look in BK2, BK3, BK4 or BK5 (old houses). You may be able to nail one at around 700k and then spend the remaining into renovation. But do take note that those are not guarded and gated. G&G, cheapest you can find is BK9 Warna - but you will be in front of low cost apartment. You may also look at BK7 but with your budget, I think you will end up with a T junction unit

Currently there is an auction unit at Kinrara Residence (going at 810k, but the thing is, the hearing was postponed to 28th May for the defendants so you will know whether will have reauction or not).

Unfortunately only 3 auction units in Kinrara currently (1 is semi d - owner paid off the income tax he owed, 1 is 2.5 storey Kinrara Residence, hearing 28th May, the other one BK9 Senja 2.5 storey for market price).

Don't count on negotiating with owners in BK5C, D, E, BK6E, and agents in Kinrara are exceptionally good in scamming. Try having a feel at BK first. I have stayed in my apartment in BK9 for 3 years before I decided to buy a landed here.

Actually BK5C Sentosa, Permai, BK5 Desiran, BK6E Melody and BK9 Spektra are already touching 10 years as of next year 2020. Kinrara Residence built in 2013 is also untouchable cause of the price. But in any case, yes you are right, 1.2-1.5m. Even for a house facing T junction in Desiran is going for 1.08m. TS don’t have much choice left. For a new house, I suggest to look at Puchong South/Putra Prima.

1.1m you have a lot of options.. as mentioned earlier, the newer houses in BK5 and BK6 will touch 10 years soon.

In these 2 locations, I prefer Desiran as it is on top of the hill, but entrance a bit sucky, cause the 2 way road got people like to do side parking. There are 4 main types in Desiran, 24x70 Type A1, A2, B1, and B2. 1 and 2 meaning maid room in front/back location and A and B meaning long porch or short porch. Long porch have larger buildup but going at 1.2m. You will have extra land at the back that doesn’t belong to you and you can use cause it is sloped land.

BK6E has a land area of 26x65 (1m+) and 30x70 (1.2m+) but not many people would like it cause it’s short and it’s quite open. Depending on your taste. Beware of even number houses cause their back is facing Ayer Itam forest and residents there have complaints about monkey problems.

BK8 Irama, Sapphire, and Emerald and BK5C Sentosa are typical 22x75 but with buildup around 2300. Price should be around 1.1m or less after you nego.

All in all, trust your instincts and don’t be afraid to walk away from a house that you may like cause Kinrara agents are snobs and keep insisting that owners do not accept the price. If need be, go straight to the owner after the viewing session to cut off agent.

Anything in particular you need to know? What's your budget, what location you are looking at in particular?

Good or convenient depends on you. Are you working nearby? That should answer your question.

bk as a whole is predominantly freehold landed properties smacked right in between BJ catalysts and the established satellite township of bandar puchong.. not too old like oug, not too messy like puchong, not leasehold like sri petaling, just about all the right ingredients for the pickings..

bk5 in particular, is riding on the recent 're'vibrancy of kinrara niaga (the giant) commercial area with 8 & 10 kinrara highrise & lrt station.. i&p ex-show gallery has been bought over enbloc, while many corner lots being converted to street hawkers center, and when public bank is also there, you know the area is set abuzz, traffic wise..

very ok for own stay, few sjk & sjkc around.. waiting for more connectivity to be opened up behind.. for investment, depends on your returns expectations, but risk is relatively lower, means can find takers at mid-point, won't sink much.. m2c..

bro emyght. what are new connectivity opening? any news on retails openingat 10kinrara?

cause i consider a house in bk5 around 610k. this is near to midvalley which where i work on and not that crazy expensive plus freehold. Just worry on the safety the is it convenient for normal daily life

I'm sorry BK5 with 610k budget? I guess you are looking at the apartment in 8 Kinrara then, am I right? The accessibility actually is not too bad. You have easy access to LRT (BK5 station), Maybank, and Anytime Fitness. It is just about 5 mins walk away. You have Giant also within walking distance and the shophouses (food courts etc) which you would have to walk a bit further (10 mins or more). However, I have to warn you that since you are working in Midvalley, the road towards OKR AND OKR itself is very very jammed. You have to leave your apartment at around 6.30am/7am depending on your start time because the traffic will get VERY HEAVY at 7.30am onwards from Jalan Puchong to OKR. To get to the intersection, most likely you will need to make a huge turn around the shophouses and you will probably have to wait at the traffic light for a long time to go into BK2 road.

Midvalley consider near ?

If Midvalley, I'd rather be staying somewhere around OKR, OUG, Tmn Desa, Happy Garden, Sri Petaling, Pantai. The problem I see currently with BK5 is the access from BJ highway.

whats building up at this piece of land? the last time passed by still being fenced up.

As a matter of fact, BJ highway is not going to be a problem as he will not be using this road most likely. Waze/Maps will direct most likely to go through OKR. I know this cause I worked in KL Sentral. But in any case, if he wakes up early, should not be a problem. From MV to BK5, it would take around 1 hour plus too cause OKR is really long. The only plus point I would see in owning an apartment in Kinrara is the accessibility.
