fren, tell me what r the must have and nice to have feature u would like, then I can probably help out

jcvstlys,

If u r looking at Pj, than KJ is perfect as you can still get SSL or DSL in KJ within your budget. Plus, as I've mentioned before, the capital appreciation for Kelana Jaya SSL has been quite decent, about 20% appreciatioon over the last 5 years. Plus, there are practically zero supply of new SSLs, so the demand has always been quite good in case u decide to load off the property.

Sunway property prices has been stagnant over the past few years, and the main put off would be the increasing number of crime activity.

Puchong are rather new, and first time buyers are making good money on their SSLs and DSLs as they enjoyed steady cap gains. Price wise about the same as KJ, so I had to choose, I'd go for KJ. More mature area, nearer to KL & PJ, plus no need to pay toll

Revisting this thread.

Think Kota Damansara has a very bright prospect 5 years down the road. Reasons for my call are :

1. Cheap : Still got apartments selling for less than 200k in a prime area. Properties in KD is cheaper than any of the surrounding areas, such as TTDI, Damansara Perdana, Mutiara Damansara, Bandar Utama, Damansara Intan, DPC etc.

2. Transportation : They will be LRT station serving KD residents, and that will basically connects KD to the rest of KV. This is the biggest boost for KD.

3. Apparently Giant & Carefour is planning to open their malls in KD as well. Good addition to the existing Tesco.

4. Ammenities - SHopping mall, movies, decent food are all within 5 minutes drive.

5. ROI has been decent. All the ppl I know who bought KD developements all made decent money(20%-50%) upon VP. Rental is OK despite currently lacking major public transport.


In terms of drawback, i see 2 major negatives in KD :

1. Its leasehold.

2. Traffic jam and illegal parking. But think its bound to happen anywhere within the KV area.

Its from The Star.

Define the word "reasonable", in your own context

U buying for investment or fo own stay, bro?

Either way, Im never a big fan of townhouses for 3 major reasons :

1. Its neither here or there. Facilities is less than a condo but u dont have the privacy of a landed property.

2. Generally town-houses are poor investments.

3. Usually unreasonably expensive due to their lower density. Never bothered checking this Parkville but somehow can tell its not gonna be cheap despite the fact that it is LH, knowing Sunway.
