Hi everyone,

Recently I got one condo in Subang but planning for future when my family grows to buy into gated and guarded landed homes within the Klang Valley.

Been doing my research to look for landed homes with gated and guarded. There are alot of communities with makeshift guards (guarded only not gated) that are more affordable, within RM 800k range such as USJ, Menjalara, BU, Damansara, PJ. But wanted to have the ease of mind with gated. I understand a lot these places will be minimum 1.4 m above. Some of the examples I have found are SPK Harmoni next to DPC, Ara Idaman, Mutiara Homes and further away of course plenty in Setia Alam and Rimbayu.

Also looking at potential new developments ie. Kwasa Damansara.

Looking for more info from the forumers who are well versed with the property scene in Klang Valley to share.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Chainyong, thank you for the reply!

Let me share the context for gated/guarded

guarded but not gated -> pondok with guards sitting at the makeshift container style hut. Sometimes it has its own palang/ boom gate to prevent people from using it as roads to access other areas so can be considered contained

gated and guarded -> can be strata non strata, proper fencing/separation to roads contained. Mostly will be strata but there are few not stratified that I have come across like Safa in DPC. Contained but not stratified.


For me, closest is definitely USJ but only issue with USJ is accessibility. There are some closer to the federal highway that are probably better for accessibility but the ones that are deep inside USJ, it's a little tough to get in and out during peak hours which definitely affects liveability for me.

Ya that was one of the consideration. I'll also need to consider if older landed then need to fork out 400k to 500k inclusive of rebuild of electrical/roofing/piping.

And also from what I know, USJ 3 is divided into quite a few as well right? A/B/C/D or something of that sort.

How old are the units there? Probably 1990s ish?

Hahah, not really thinking of putting a down sometime soon, more of crowdsourcing some information on what's out there and the price range before I actually pull the trigger.


Have considered Elmina as well.

I like the new Elmina mall, place looks pretty decent and the area is developing quite rapidly. Have an aunt who stays there. Just not too fond of driving through the kampung area to reach the place.

But it is a good balance. Not too far like Puncak Alam and fairly close to KL.

At least closer than Setia Alam, Kota Kemuning and Rimbayu.

Nowadays a bit more difficult to get below RM1 mil if the area is accessible and close to alot of the hotspots.

Thank you for the suggestions! Have not heard of Tanamera.

I think my budget would be somewhere in the range of RM1m to RM1.5m. If it's newer then don't need to fork out so much for renovations, just more of the interior. If it's older than a bulk of the capital would probably go to the infrastructure. I guess trying to avoid if I can.

Also @PAChamp @gobiomani, don't have a specific preference for stratified. In terms of my ranking would be

1) Gated and guarded - not strata
2) Gated and guarded - strata
3) guarded (non gated)

I'm not brave enough to get a landed without at least guarded. Too many stories of break-ins and drive by robberies for me to commit to something without a guard.
