Looking around condo 2 room layout and at the end uncertainty which to choose between this 2 after survey quite number of new projects.
Need some sifu advice on both of these.

Personal analysis/views on both as below(Might not correct ):

One Equine
------------
+ Strategic Location, near mall, MEX highway, shops etc
+ More mature location
+ Near UPM
- Leasehold (But for me not much difference with freehold)
- Crazy traffic there, after completion of this One Equine, can't imagine traffic there with such narrow road.
- MRT by walk is quiet far (They do provide shuttle service to MRT, but wonder how long can this service sustain?)
- High Density (2k+ units)
? Reputable Developer, but saw in others post their others project build quality was not satisfied (https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5261824?hl=one%20equine)


Parkland Residence @Kajang 2
------------
+ Developer build quality (Went to visit their completed B11 project, melaka)
+ Very near to KTM station (40min+ direct to Midvalley, 1 station interchange mrt)
+ Near UKM, German-Malaysia Institute
+ Lower Density (<1k units)
- Location too far
- Uncertainty on future development on that area
+ Freehold


Both of them around same sqft same middle-high level, one equine about 410k, Parkland Residence about 320k

if you work in cyber/puchong, equine should be better

if you work in KL, I believe Kajang is better

I stay in Equine and work in KL comfortably. Alot connectivity to KL via Puncak Jalil, Serdang, skve, of course fastest is pay for MEX. My preferred mode of transport is mrt for saving. Basically Equine is at the centre of KV south.

Kajang car and mrt has to go through Cheras and you know ‘Cheras’.

One Equine of coz , walk in front = banks like Maybank , CIMB got MrDiy and grocery shops thn walk behind = AEON mall , walk beside = Starbucks .
Full of makan choice if u r Chinese .

Go Pavilian bukit jalil via Puncak jalil can reach in 15mins , the route wont jam .
Go IOI putrajaya 20mins

equine much better if work in KL.

Equine just 2km away from the MEX highway entrance, much lesser jam compare to KL Seremban highway

But considering the heavy traffic there, high density & developer build quality, is still a good buy in your opinion?

Kajang has nothing but still Jam peanut butter.

There is alot new development and developer over hang unit, why limit to this 2?

Heavy traffic? I dont think it is heavier thn Puchong , Subang , PJ , Old Klang road , Cheras those places .
Depend on where u want to go from Equine Park , ez access to MEX highway can go to kl center .
BTW i stay in Equine Park too .

High density but i dont think all buyers will stay there , example their VPed Equine Residence merely 30-40% occupancy .
I always went to opposite AEON area makan , the traffic is smooth. Developer build quality nowadays is like jackpot , even branded pun will hv issue but not serious1 like water leaking , crack thn shd be ok .

Parkland Residence for sure. Best price / value and got public transport option if u don't want to pay for parking

ah I see, thanks for correction

Because went to visit/research a few, personally feel not good buy for me.
Eg.
- Meta city - Saw google review on developer build quality issue
- Jernih - Prefer Parkland Residence compared to this
- Connaught One - Dislike surrounding area
and many others as well, not wish to wish spend so much on my first home.

You have spotted any good project to share?

Yeah I also saw Equine Residence seems like so far still a lot unoccupied unit.
The location honestly is real good for me as well, but if let say both equine residence & one equine are fully ready in future & highly occupied, I think traffic there also same became nightmare. Currently peak hours also already long queue traffic nearby the one equine & bank traffic right there, can't imagine traffic there after one equine complete construction later.
Ahh, agree on nowadays developers build quality really .

Hehe, ya the public transportation is good buy point, but the cons is location really far and still need plenty time to develop in that area.

Have u tried Nexus Kajang Tower B? I think still some some unit left

Nowadays the quality is a gamble. We have reduce to the base line where can vp on time is very good already. 😂

You can visit meta again when it vp soon by this q4 i think.

Traffic is nightmare on every establish township. Cannot run away from it. But at least there is a mrt nearby. To me ktm is not considered public transport. At least must be lrt or mrt.

I bought Kaia for my retirement home. So is my bias towards equine area. 😅

I seen from nsk to equine residence, this side is fairly well occupied by judging the number of lights at night. Maybe not doing well for the side facing one equine.

I see the rise in traffic is a good sign for commercial activities. More demand then supply then competition to up the bar.

Location-wise, one equine is definitely better. It is located 23km away from KLCC, while park residence is 32km away. In terms of surrounding development, One Equine wins. On the other hand, it is situated opposite the commercial center with many banks and is located beside the shopping mall.

Nope, but i heard about it, the one with ktm and mrt both next to it.
I thought it's completed project?

Thanks for kind advices guys, will considered it again hehe.
Maybe need 'gamble' with the developer build quality if I choose one equine at the end.

how you know park residence build quality better than one equine.

build quality is a question mark before view the end product

Yes, still have unit in Tower B. If want I can introduce you to developer staff. pm me

Because I went to see parkland current completed project and survey through their group.
Surely there is defect exist, but seem the end product was not bad especially the B11 parkland residence, seem like quality is there.

One thing to consider is Parkland Residence is borderline Kajang, it's next to Bangi already. I think you should consider it if walking distance to KTM is really, really important, more important than walking distance to convenience like restaurants, shops, and even a mall which One Equine offers. But yeah One Equine is quite high dense, Singapore developer.

Actually I did done some research.
I totally agree with your point, the downside really one equine seriously high density within that small area.
For parkland residence yeah true location very far far away, but I did go read about mkh development plan there, they going to develop that area especially building a mall nearby parkland residence / opposite Mirai residence. And others development within that area as well by mkh within 9 years, so I guess it might be trying my luck on this if I choose parkland residence kajang2?




P.S: I quite skeptical will same as picture, but at least got potential development at that area?

Source: https://mkhberhad.com/shareholders-meeting/ under agm presentation pdf, got master plan as well at that area.

Kajang…..hahaha….good luck bro.

Hard to say for sure but looking at the trend based on personal observation without data, going south from Cheras, it feels like development is generally leaning toward south-west (Bukit Jalil, Seri Kembangan, Puchong, etc.) than south-east (Kajang, Semenyih, Bangi, etc.).

The south west area you mentioned actually quite developed right now.
Seri kembangan even the mines area also around RM500 sqft already, bkt jalil also already quite high, saw a project RM 650 sqft as well.
So Kajang there still consider early entry, sure will developing over time, but time matter i guess, since location is really quite far, unless MKH success transform to similar in pic then will be another story then for me.

Try Nexus Kajang, the added MRT sure got more advantage than just KTM

SK has weird sentiment, traffic is high but the mall and supermarket like giant aeon nsk not really well maintaining , and the puncak jalil road always have hole here hole there.

One equine not bad in the sense of near the shops lot that almost includes everything, from food to supermarket to bank

Bad side is walking distance to mrt station is abit far, if u are heavy mrt user, suggest choose mrt link project, if need drive to park and ride , doesnt feel good in long term, unless u ride motorcycle

Do not trust shuttle service provided by developer, because the decision can be flipped by jmb after a year or two

in term of mall, SK is better than kajang right?

of course cant compare with KV famous mall

of the two, i would recommend one equine.
ktm is not reliable as a public transport as a whole.

Ya, just feel equine wasted its best potential to grow with mrt landed.

That site limited the land available for MRT allocation because Equine was developed before the MRT. Consequently, it limited the land choices for the MRT to be built.

It's So horrible to see that many unit in Kajang2.
That kampung road and facilities confirm can't fit for that population.

I believe most of the landed residence there would like to be further away from mrt noise. Close but not so close.

I went to there physical view dy, so far from the pics, the presence/developing is Mirai residence, the primary school, parkland residence.
The KTM mall not sure will follow the plan or not as there already have KTM car park present at there.
Kajang2 Mall i guess going start soon, saw a tractor there, but not sure whether is they starting prepare land for kajang2 mall.

KTM Kajang2 has been officially operate. The Kajang2 Mall just in foundation build up stage. i guess complete VP will be in 2years time.

There are also others developer project around there beside from MKH.
Crowded morning and evening (Residents nearby + Resident from Jalan Semenyih)

When did this Kajang2 Mall started foundation ya? last week i went and visit, still no progress, except a tractor at there.

Sorry Kajang2 Mall haven't start yet. That one I mentioned was the Mirai Residences and now the progress is two tower until 19 floor(total 4 blocks).

Can contact me whatsapp 0102933297

You know right why they build the KTM station in jalan reko so high one

This is true, look at Mid Valley, most people rather take a long walkway pass through KL Eco City and The Garden from LRT rather than taking the KTM right outside Mid Valley, you can see the difference in the walk traffic from LRT and from KTM.
