a lot of ex-pats diverse their renting location to Tropicana garden area, velocity area especially Aeon Maluri there.

Mont kiara will still be good, but the rental market dropped. sister had 2 condos, 5 years ago can rent out very quickly. now it takes half a year, and 1 had empty for quite a while. only way is to reduce price.

i notice alot of second-generation (30-40 years old) buying up subsales landed old terrace house and renovate totally from underground pipe to roof.

uptown damansara area, ttdi, ss2, price range of 1 mil +- + 300k renovation fees.

only few pros are
no maintenance fee. In some areas with appointed security guards yes there are fees.
Parking convenience, u have your own garage
garden area.
You can redo hacking and stuff in future.

cons
the old neighborhood, lifestyle difference. You cant enjoy the amenities like condos
possibilities of crazy neighbor because is too close to each other, maybe parking space will be congested by bigger families in the neighbour
Cats, dogs lol.


i dont want to talk about safety because even with high-end condos, my friend lost her car and another got his house broken.

Ive been followin Design seed channel for quite a while, and i did saw some of these concept in the old area.
