Recently I have look for a fully residential property project in PJ Damansara Perdana just besides the LDP TOLL and come with a private lake.
For now starting price is from 609 per sqft its worth to buy it?

what is the date of the broucher? i thought foresthill project stopped years ago?

Considering that Damansara Central Park is just right at the start of the road going into this one... so you'd be probably banking on how DCP goes. Con is.. 10k plus new neighbours in a close proximity.

Also, the lake is there unlike some waterfall that will only apparently show up after a rain.

Yeah, the only issue with this development is the entrance/exit
You might want to consider asking if they have any plans to build alternative roads or not.

Saw Foresthill Residences soft launching. Visited sales gallery & show unit today. Quite many visitors and customers. Price is attractive from RM580k onwards for smallest unit which is 950 Sq ft… most lake facing small unit taken.

Where the gallery?

Oh, it is at Foresthill Residences Damansara actual site. Entrance vie the bungalow / semi D guard house

Went to check out the sales gallery ytd, two towers in total, now launching tower B only, both will be completed by end 2026. Hill view which overlooking Hamptons Dsara and Country Height Dsara is slightly cheaper than the lake view. I must say the lake view is the USP here that's why left with higher floor units only. I'm considering hill view smallest unit since it's cheaper.

Correct me if I'm wrong, the Exsim project will be completed sooner than Forest Hill, maybe by that time the road condition would have improve? What do you guys think?

Esxim project is one thing, Flora Damansara is another
Density always contributes to 1 thing, traffic.

Check first if you can tolerate it. There can be only that much land for them to expand the road. I'm expecting even a 2 lane road (each directions) also become 1 lane because everyone will be parking on the roadside. Unless there's a strict enforcement running, which is rare.

Here we go again. Increasing property price due to inflation and costs

I believe the road conditions will definitely improve because Dash, Exsim & Foresthill has common interest to improve the condition and accessibility. I saw Exsim plans as well when I visit their sales gallery. It’s part of ccc requirement to complete infrastructure and access to development.

I am still okay with the road side parking so long the traffic is still moving. I like the fact that those convenience stores at Flora and commercials (soon to be build by Esxim I think) are within walking distance, ppl like me always like to hv the convenience within 5-10mins walk yet staying in a residential community like Forest Hill. The best of both world.

type A still available? how much?

Only top floor still hv 2 units. Type A most popular cause smallest size & lake view. Maybe u can wait for cancellations. Otherwise hv to go for next Block. I booked one for my child. Pending signing.

FOREST HILL

Just read the NST article about the developer background, looks like 2nd gen with architecture background is taking over the property biz.. The project is targeting for own stay market apparently..

I have booked a unit here! Was considering between this project vs exim but exim side is too dense

Doing the signing for my child this weekend.

Hi. From your pov will this be a good own stay for young family? Thinking of getting here and selling my landed prop.

Hello, just signed with my children. Currently staying in the bungalow area. I enjoy the peace and quiet. The natural lake and hill is beautiful. Like the privacy.

The condo is for my children because they are nearby to me but have their own place to start their family.

Ah I see. Good buy 👍 I'll be going this week. Somewhat I got a good feeling about this prop. Thanks for your input.

Did you manage to book a unit?

Community of foresthill went viral with the dog rescue. Nice residents and kind volunteers work to save dog from cliff.

Heard Tower A open for booking / reservation. Those missed out lake view units can see see.

this developer famous?

Builder of Taylor’s lakeside campus, uptown residences etc https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/666818

where is the showroom? this project looks interesting

It's by the lake, next to the actual site

Here it is. Inside the bungalows compound need to pass the guardhouse. I live in the area.

ForestHill Residences Sales Gallery https://g.co/kgs/vJ5Tir

What do you think of the area? Is it troublesome to have to go in via the road parallel to the LDP?

Got 3 access, LDP parallel, damansara perdana traffic light junction, and the tunnel.

Stayed here for years now. Even before Exsim started here. Road enhancement finally by Exsim after their constructions damaged it.

Peaceful, quiet and private area with nature lake. Good for families.

That's great, having a natural lake and hill is nice, and the hill is quite a distance away so won't be affected by landslides?

Tower A will be launching on 24th June, grab your chance to view the show unit before everyone does & queue under the waiting list in order to get priority for lower floor & lake view units!

Feel free to ping me or ask me any questions here or if you are interested

Nice location and concept. Would have bought it if the budget permitted. Good luck buyers.

Oh of course no, the condo is going to be build opposite the hill across the huge lake. It’s not next to the hill. I am sure the view for the lake facing units would be very nice. From my bungalow, I cannot see the lake but every morning, I do my strolls along the boardwalk area. It’s very peaceful and quiet.

That's great, lucky you.

How about getting a unit at ForestHill for the future?

I already bought one small unit for my child. Tower B which I signed SPA already, shared earlier. Glad to know, my SA recently informed me the small unit lake view in Tower B all sold.

That's a wise decision.
You're a good parent, and you have a lucky child. Good to think about children's future.

They always say only parents buy property for children never children buy for parents. Hope the child will appreciate.

As parents we don't want to burden our kids, as long as they can survive on their own, we'd be happy, and if we can afford, we give them a bit more.

The sales bout this project smooth smooth ah?

Yeah quite smooth, launching new tower soon

The lake facing small units fully sold. Bigger units also moving along. SA told me everyone wants the lake view so waiting for Tower A.

True and well said

So this project is only suitable for those with own transport and do not need amenities within walking distance?

If you dont mind walking, there are retails at Flora Damansara & EXSIM projects there

It is only few mins drive to all the nearby amenities ikea, ikano, empire, 1U. This is a low density residential area, not heavy traffic commercial area. I prefer it that way especially since I value my privacy and serenity for living.

I am not a fan of high density living which makes it hard to rent or sell. That’s why the value of the bungalow our area has went up since I purchased few years back.

can you share your opinion on why you picked this project instead of the Exsim's central park damansara?

i am having a hard time deciding on picking either foresthill or exsim project for my own stay

Ownstay foresthill?

Got natural lake and hill

My reasoning , if you are buying for own stay you should always consider the density of a project and the title. Foresthill Residences is low density as it is residential title so there are only limited units on the plot of land and no future developments. Residential project also lower utilities bills and maintenance fees. The price per Sq ft is also more affordable compared to neighbouring project.

The nature and privacy is important for me as I am not comfortable with high number of people or strangers living in a Commecial area or plot of land. It’s too much for me. This is just my humble view and personal preference.

🤣

Enjoyable BYD event in my neighbourhood today. Huge crowd turnout for tower A priority viewing.

Great news Eimajz, get to see new neighbours

Indeed indeed. Many families instead of speculators. I am happy. The EV car is also beautiful

Happy for you. Your community's building up

Hi guys , just made a booking for the smallest unit facing lakeview for the new Tower launched last weekend.

the environment of this project is really good and hopefully is a good buy for my self own stay

cheers

Congrats. Glad to hear that, warmest welcome my future neighbour!

WoSHi, you're in a good community led by eimajz.
Good for you, launched last weekend and still can get lakeview. View of the natural lake and hill will be glorious, and you know there won't be any future development blocking that view, and no fear of future landslide as it's a distance away and there's a lake blocking that path.

Purchased an lake view unit Block B few months ago, the lake is beautiful . Anyone who is interested to purchase an unit can pm me, we can share the referral fees.

what's the price range for this project?

Quite affordable. Between RM580-rm680 thereabouts. Cheapest private development in damansara (no affordable housing component inside the housing area).

Smallest Unit 953sqft facing lake view around RM 620K +- nett according to my SA. 2027 completion

I'm interested in this project as well, as I used to work at PJTC, so I'm slightly familiar with the road there.

Only Major issue that is a concern to me, is that there is only one way in and out.

And Foresthill is not close to the exit point, so imagine going thru all the apartment, and also upcoming multi phase Exsim project.

So unless they opening up another road which link to the highway outside, the jam could be terrible for a normal office working hour job.

Very nice place to stay at thou, can see some video on the lake and the forest itself is very captivating.

Don’t have to be too worried. I stayed here in the bungalows lots many years, it was always two ways in / out. But Exsim project started then the roads were damaged during construction and was shut for 1 year. After many complaints to MBPJ, finally Exsim is now repairing and enhancing the road access including the widening.

Authorities also shared with the approved two way in / out road access. The tunnel to the other side of highway is finally open both ways too. Good progress after 1 long year. Hopefully Exsim can complete the road access sooner for the sake of us residents as soon as possible. I can see improvement and widening now.

You should consider getting one unit. I bought tower B early of the year for my child.

Go for it Kay

Just bought a unit here as well. Worth it for the view and community. Looking forward to connect with you and future neighbours

Congrats Sapphire. Quite a community here now

Congratulations ! welcome to the community. A lot of people been visiting the sales gallery. Every weekend is packed. Was just there recently for the Merdeka weekend as got some nice local food.

Why so popular? every weekend got food event?

Good concept. Love the view of lake face unit. Demographic looks good which is matured along with the existing bungalow units. How I wish this was launch 3 years ago 😅

Buy another 1

Don't want to commit yet due to other family commitments. Some day then... 👍

Share with relative and buy one?

That I am not sure as I don’t drop by all the time. Only when I receive event invitation from Developer cause I am existing owner. Honestly the developer treat us owners warmly, the staff always welcome us as though we are potential buyers. I guess that is the difference.

That's good. Because it's not for certain that a buyer will only buy once, some years later will likely buy again if like the environment, like in your case

Anyone has any concern on the time for delivery of vacant possession of Foresthill has been extended to 48 months? Is this a norm for high rise now?

It is common / market norm for high rise condo legal vacant possession to be 48 months. 36 months is usually for strata title landed, not high rise.

As far as I know, this project legal completion period is 48 months. But good developers usually can complete ahead of time.

All the best!

just came back from the sales gallery, i am considering the 1259sqft, but the dual key 1527sqft living room layout is very convincing. i have a small family, my wife, me and one baby. i am so lost which unit to get

May I know what price

If you can afford it, you should consider the dual key unit. Price per psf is value for money plus the design is wide and spacious. I like the dual key unit personally because hard to find such product in the market. But I bought type A tower B for my child because they said they wanted smaller unit.

Otherwise, the package for both units are attractive.

Have to think about what that extra independent room is for.
For parents to come stay but still have some privacy?
To rent out to another tenant? But not sure how safe that is, since you got young family with a baby.
If not for either the above two, am not sure what extra benefit you get for having extra separate space, it's a hassle having to handle 2 layers of doors.

800k for 12xx sqft
And
900k for 1527sqft

Not planning on renting out, just simply loved the living area layout

This is a fantastic layout. I’d spring for the bigger layout as long as it doesn’t break the bank too much. The versatility is there if you need to rent it out but also as a seperate home office/guest room when needed. It also works as a self contained studio for elderly/adult children.

Usually the dual key only adds an extra part that's separated by a locked door. You mean for this one the layout is different? In that case may consider

The 1527sf one is really reasonable, go for it

Even as a proper studio to let I like it. Some of the dual keys on the market really too small to be of use.

End up 1 more place to clean if duno what to do with with the extra room

I'm in your situation as well, couple with a baby. For me the choice would depend on how often my parents or in-laws are visiting me but in my case my in-laws are from KL itself so it will be only my parents who will be the main factor.

Personally I would go with the 3 room unit which to me is more practical. It all depends on your needs and financial situation as well. Larger unit will definitely cost more not just initially but down the road as well. Maintenance fees, cukai-cukai and etc will be more exp. If you have demand for extra space and have no concern on your pocket, then by all means get the larger one lor

Seems we are starting to have quite some community here. #ForestHill @Eimajz

More space never goes out of style. Especially when it’s used efficiently. If we ever go through a pandemic again, you’d be thankful for a seperate area when you have teenage kids.

I reckon the majority of Covid divorces were due to living in cramped conditions and you’re in each other’s hair all the time.

PS. This type of studio works well as a quarantine zone.

If you don't want to see each other all the time, means your relation got problem. Better stay separately.

Haha you must be in honeymoon phase. Come back and talk when your spouse has perimenopause and your teenage kids are rebellious.

Lolz I am old man but I won't want my relation to reach that level of seeing each other will be an issue.

Haha but eventually I went for other project bro. Me and my wife are skeptical on the long entrance path due to the on-going DCP, not sure it's going to be a nightmare when it's completed. The plus point would be the crowd pulling effect when DCP is completed for the potential gain (again, more crowd = nightmare traffic ) And the location for both of us to go to work its either toll, or crazy jam, or both

On the micro POV, the project itself is really suitable for own-stay, comfortable and lay-back vibe kind of environment.

You’re mistaking my meaning. Everyone needs to have some degree of privacy for a harmonious family. Evidently this was more difficult during Covid when people had to work and study from home. That’s why I say having more space never goes out of fashion but don’t over extend financially la.

I had discussed with my wife on this matter…. It is the best place for after a huge argument….. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
