Iagree location is not really ideal for those working in city centre.

Subang is just an established township that one can survive without venturing out.

It's better than setia alam due to presence of LRT, KTM, BRT. That's all.

Ya, I do agree that it's not that ideal for people that are working in KL. Hence, why I would want to move to a new neighborhood in the near future.

If its okay, do you have any input for Taman Melawati or Bandar Sri Damansara?

I'm just looking at these two townships as even though Subang and USJ is a nice place to live but the time spent on travelling is just too much.

can give example? from usj to KL..?aand the travel time...

I work in the heart of KL.

I normally leave my house at 6:45am and reach around 7:30am, which is not bad but I have to leave before 7.

I get off work at 5pm and take Kesas back to USJ, this can vary between 45 mins (If I'm lucky) to 1 hour and 30mins.

And Kesas can be quite unpredictable, some days it will be clear and sometimes the jam starts after the Sri Petaling toll.

Edit: But thankfully there is the LRT, so I can choose to take it sometimes when I don't feel like driving but the LRT takes me around 45 mins to an hour.

Boss,
Sometimes we only appreciate things after we have lost it.

On a good day, it takes me 1 hours to drive to work
On a bad day it takes me 2 hours and 30 minutes
And I don't have LRT or MRT options

Cheers

Yes, have to be grateful too.

Thanks for the reminder and hope you have a good day!

I'm staying in Subang, and find it to be a nice neighborhood. Cultural mix, no racial issue here. Yes distance to city centre is suboptimal, but I'm not working there so it doesn't affect me.

No idea with the 2 area you mentioned.

To be honest, for KL rush hour, this is not too bad.

Driving is also some precious alone time.

Yea, same with me I was born and raised here.

Overall a good place but I'm thinking of moving to a new place to explore around, and the two areas I mentioned have hilly surroundings which unfortunately Subang doesn't really have.

Semenyih/Broga is a nice place due to the surrounding hills and farms. Many eco resorts and retreats due to the fresh air. Only thing is no guarantee the hills will still be there in the future seing how the developments are encroaching into the hillsides. Will be ideal if you do not have to go to KL or PJ areas on a regular basis.

This location is great if you do not need to travel, my friend coming out from one of the Eco project but not sure which one, took 1h just to reach Jalan Cheras... not including the traffic to the city...

But it's a nice place for a slower pace of life no doubt!

Thanks for the feedback.

But I much prefer Seremban to Semenyih, something about Semenyih doesn't sit right with me lol

I'm eyeing more towards Melawati and Bandar Sri Damansara, as its still within Klang Valley and is somewhat closer to the city center

For the time being and the foreseeable future, I think my career prospects will revolve around KL; hard to find WFH prospects for my line of work

bandar sri damansara is way too expansive alr..there i guess 1 mil above...

I'm looking at condos as well, landed is not really my priority.

i guess condo also around RM 1000 per SQ...usj subang jaya also picking up this price already...Look at the SDP condo at SS15...already touch RM1000 per SQ

Hype also overpriced, in my view

i think u can have ur own persection...but the real market is all unit taken..means the market endore this price...so very hard to say whether it is over price or wat..

Overprice or not can be seen at subsequent sub-sale units.
A good example is Lot 15 which enjoy good market response initially was launch at around 9xxpsf. A check at Brickz now shows current price is also around 9xxpsf. Over price or not despite good market response?

This also means Aurora and Teja which was launch at 7xxpsf stand at an advantage position.
Moral of the story, don't follow herd mentality.

However, Hype which was launch at 7xxpsf to 8xxpsf may or may not be at an advantage due to higher density and different target segment.

On the other end, Damayan in Putra Heights launch at 7xxpsf i understand is doing poorly likely due to its location despite located less than 1km away from the LRT station. Maybe the recent introduction of DRT might change its fate but I won't hold my breath.

Putra Residence launch day had cars parking all over the roadside of the sales gallery at The Glades. Does today's sub-sale price reflect the same enthusiasm? Alcove was next to be launch and with only 72 units, it was suppose to be 😍 but look at it's sub-sale value today 🙈. Serenade also enjoyed pretty good response just like Alcove, will Serenade suffer a similar fate, we'll know soon enough.

So market response to new development is at best a guide. There is no replacement for own hard work on DD.

Take up rate and occupancy rate both high. Subang USJ has organic population with active student market.

I see it will continue to grow as a self sustaining peripheral city.

Capital appreciation might be low, but ROI will be healthy.

With students completing their studies, some will stay out and raise family here. Many subsale transaction is with young family.

It should be interesting if there is a study done on students staying back at those familiar areas post studies. As for me and a few that I know, most will relocate nearer to their work place (rent rooms) since they are more mobile at that age and may not have the capacity to buy a house yet.
