r u guys kidding me.....a condo with termites problem the location is just nice.......old klang road is okay during weekends.....used to live in tmn desa

Yes, it is actually (the concept). BOTH the condo and townhouses follow the same concept i.e. a village styled concept where you should be able to find basic necessities within compound.

For the condo, i can say its almost there. We've got 2 chinese restaurant, 1 indian restaurant, 1 indian barber, 2 salons, 1 kopi tiam styled shop, 4 grocery shops, 2 laundry shops and 1 day care centre. In fact, there are many more shops available for rental, i guess its just about time when the place is 100% packed, then all the remaining empty shoplots will be snapped up.

However, for the townhouses, am not sure, i have not been inside the compound for quite a long time. But overall, the concept is almost the same, except for the unit design (this is whats relayed by the management office staffs whom i know quite well).

I heard the same story about termites, but from what i know, they only affected the town houses, which is normal in many housing areas.

TRUST ME, all housing areas/estates have this problem (termites). You just dont hear about it. House owners NEVER say it loud, because they fear their house pricing will drop if and when they want to sell it. It's a fact. But so far, as far as i can see, the town houses are occupied quite well, standing quite good as well. Haha....dont think termites are a problem there.

I have not heard of a condo getting termite problem, simply because of the way a condo is constructed. Usually they might have problems as in individual units (thats normal by the way!), but never the whole condo itself. LOL!

No such thing la..i live there in the condo for the past 3 years, no such thing. (and...my furniture is all wood, and still standing perfect!) LOL!

Yes, i agree, OKR is great to live in. Yes, its jammed on weekdays, tell me where its not?!

But on weekends and overall, its a great location to be in, centre of EVERYTHING!

I now also considering this condo, will have the bus pass into the side of it?

how is the security and crime rate there?

when i went to view house once before i saw a rapidkl pass thru, but i'm not really sure whether that is its normal route and how frequent the bus will be there.

I see. Thanks for ur replied~

No probs! Think its but No. 800 something...it passes by every 30 - 45 minutes.

ya~I went there last sunday~ I quite like there.
Buy with cheap, spacious square feet, enjoy the diversity of facilities and low maintenance fees, it is the feeling of vacation, it is worth!

I heard that the new management is considering & planning to repaint again the condo. Just because of repaint the 3 block only will cost them about 600K. But for me I think this is not a reason to hold it, because there got abt 1900+ units.
ex: RM120 (maintenance fee) x 1900 (units) = RM228K/month

IMHO, these are my own personal observations of the area.

1. Great price point if u want to own something for a very low entry price. I mean - 150k for 1,400 sq ft? wow.

2. For investment purposes, i'd stay far far far away from it. If you talk to some honest agents with integrity - they would also ask u not to buy for investment purposes.

3. I mean 17 blocks? 1,700 units? Talk about super high dense.

4. I have a few personal friends that stay there. Some of their cars have been smashed and robbed when they park at the side of the road. Just some anecdotal evidence of course. The security is lacking. I normally sneak into the side gate unnoticed and unquestioned.

5. I won't put the stats here.....but look at the transacted prices over the years. This is one of the few condo's which actually depreciate over time.

6. There's a reason why the maintenance is cheap. If u look with a trained eye, you'll see that the upkeep leaves much to be desired.

Just my 2 cents. Don't bang me. Like a friend once quoted - Another man's meat is another man's poison.

Is there an entry point from jalil damai apartment without passing through kesas highway to bukit oug condo ?

Yes they are but you need to go through Kinrara Industrial Park (Hap Seng Star Area) using small road.

Is it a straight direct road or big u-turn small road ?

I'm currently renting a house there and the house infested with termite. Apparently they've already spray something on the parquet floor and so far I didn't see any termite wandering at the edge of the wood, however I'm quite worried that it will attack my furniture which majorly made from wood.

Also, I get to know that the owner wants to sell off this house for 155k. It's 1465sqft and I'm not sure that's a decent figure or not. I saw some notice along the road there are units auction from bank for 110k. House with termite worth 155k or not? Or should be lesser, say 110k? considering if I buy the house I need to remove all the parquet and wooden skirting and replace it with tiles instead.

the valuation company said very reasonable to me after they go to there (the unit I bought) to do valuation.
1222sf sale RM128K with decoration & kitchen cabinet (swimming pool view)

CIMB banker help me to checked that house value too, he told me if 1222sf at that area after renovation actually can sale
to RM130K-140K also can. So, they told me if I buy RM128K from the owner is very worth already.

You got nice price there. One of the agent offer me Rm130k for 1222sqf unit but the unit are in bad condition. Leakage and also no window.

I can say the unit I'm renting is quite in bad shape, not only termite problem but the piping is bad. 155k for a house without any kitchen cabinet and practically not a single piece of fixture at all is expensive right considering this house have termite problem...??

below is the unit I bought













My opinion:
For me is a budget buyer, so I won't think a lot already when I saw this unit.
Because other location or property have a value but you must know about the price
also very very "different" Beside here, where can find a unit 1222sf in just RM128K?
Therefore, we must know how to measure their own economic capacity.
Buy this condo can let me save a lot of money for me to planning to buy my 2nd house,
mayb 5 years later I have a budget to buy a landed house already (because I didn't use
my EPF and instalment just RM680/month 20years whole tenure loan)

Hi,i planning to buy a unit at here also,but do u guy think the 775sf (1+1room unit) at the price RM99k is ok? and how much is the rental for this size? anyone can tell me?

Whats include in the house? Empty units was sold at 90k before.

is empty...how is the rental there? the 1+1 room unit easy to get ppl rent it?

Hi there the condition of the house no bad, tiles in room and got kithcen cabinet. Any problems with the bank and title matter?
