Another viable option if you can afford are the older houses in Sri Hartamas or Damansara Heights. You will need some funds for renovation etc, but locations are ideal.
Yes those are good options as is buying a house in Bangsar. These are houses that tend to keep its value very well even in a downturn it does not drop but merely stagnant while the same cannot be said of most condos.
Yes you will definitely need to have some funds available to renovate but knowing how and where to spend the money can help to reduce that expenditure by a lot especially if you do not have bottomless pockets.

I did consider that, but I estimated about 400k to get the house at least repaired. Cash flow is gonna be important in this economy and I’m trying spend as little upfront as I can.
That’s why I’ve mainly only looked at new launches or undercon projects which will help with cash flow.
Do you think that a condo is a bad purchase as well? As I’m looking to move in 7 years after completion.
There are ways to do it without needing to spend RM400k upfront in repairs. Doing some homework will help.
There are benefits to buying a subsale over a new launch or under construction, the first being is you would not need to waste money on progressive interest payments which can add up especially a year prior to VP.
It is a buyers market now so there are definitely some good deals out there and these properties tend to be current priced where most new launches today are priced for the future.

Yeah as it stand JK4 is really just a road for residents. Not much commercial activity on that road. Idk if it’s a good or bad thing haha

What about when you want to get in and get out to Allevia? I guess its the same as those living along main JK1 - they have to pass thru 1MK , Plaza MK, Kiara 163, Arcoris before reaching their homes.
That is the part most do not take into account. Everyone always tells me what a quiet and nice part of Bangsar my condo is located at since it does not have the jams at the main access road. I always tell them it is the same as I still have to put up with the same jams on the main road to get home or when I leave home.

Jalan Segambut have 4phases, Jalan Kiara 4 is 4th Phase, Begining part with 3+3lanes is done, middle 1+1lanes contributing by each project, (i guess) DBKL will fund for the balance which is behind Aston Kiara 3 & Richmood until join together with Jalan Duta Kiara+Jalan Haji Hamzah+Jalan Kiara 3, so at the end this area is the Mont Kiara 1st interchange junction😅 currently all road in MK didnt link to each other, all must join into the super main road which Jalan Duta Kiara+Jalan Kiara+Jalan Desa Kiara.
Jalan Desa Kiara also will join into Penchala Link directly from Jalan Kiara 7 in the future.Any idea when this would happen?
