@areankim,
What are the available options? I don't suppose there's much to choose from given the RM200k budget, right?

Where is Pelangi Damansara actually? How about the condo near Kayu Ara? You can see it from KPMG Tower.

BTW, you must be with KPMG. How's life working there?

@areankim,
You should know check what are the available choices to us within ur budget constraint. Also, is it a must to be near ur workplace?

@jcvstlys,
U compare the total land area with the total number of units. What is HD is really personal, i guess? *shrugs*

Try looking at Kota Damansara, considerably lower price and just down the road from pelangi. Btw, 180k to 220k is a big jump, I think 220k gives you a much wider potential list then. Secondary market condos easily can find 220k ones. If you can consider older ones, SS2 1400 sq ft is only 200k-250k.

Also, i think you overestimate the size of 900+sq ft. If it's 3 rooms, it will be very tight, you and your family will feel claustrophobic. If 2 rooms, not so bad. Nobody will want to stay at home rolleyes.gif

@ferricide,
Damansara Perdana looks nice but the units are relatively small.  I think it's high density too - then again, most high rises are high density so it's not something u should be too worried about.

I've a good friend at DP and her place is quite okie though small but it's sufficient for 1.  Another who's just gotten married also lives in DP (where Citibank is).  I haven't been up there before and she tells me it's pretty breezy.  Haven't had much problems with her unit and if i'm not mistaken there's like 4 to a floor on each block (or was it 8 to a block).

Ask urself what ur looking for - we each have our own personal opinion.  I don't like too populated places hence have lots to say about it  tongue.gif


Added on January 2, 2008, 10:43 am@myusername,
No No not that one.  I mean the one at the cross junction after the row of shoplots where UOB bank is smile.gif

Palm Spring Damansara - not recommended.  TOO congested!

More and more units being put on sale now. I think people are offloading. I can see new "for sale" signs coming up every so often.

Hi guys, just saw this thread.....and you all suggest DP is the suitable. May I ask whats the condo available there? Is it under construction? Or 2nd hand? Mind to tell me any new condo on sale at DP area? notworthy.gif

If u can afford it, go for a 3 bedroom (make sure the bedrooms aren't closet size!) unit instead of a 2 bedroom unit. And the reason's because it's easier to sell a 3 bedroom unit as compared to a 2 bedroom or studio / 1 bedroom unit.

@viper,
I didn't say DP's the best but it sure is better compared to uh.. Bayu Puteri smile.gif

tinkerbel, what I meant was for a 900+ sq ft condo with 3 rooms will seem much smaller than a 900+ sq ft condo with 2 rooms. Although technically the footage is the same, the presence of one extra room makes the whole place much smaller.

areankim, you should definitely look around much more then! I was under the impression that you had already looked around and settled on Pelangi. Try searching online ads like iproperty etc for a quick look see

@myusername,
Yes I get what u mean. I meant if choice permits, get a 3 bedroom unit versus a 2 bedroom unit - of course if the bedroom's not sizeable there's really no point getting a unit with 5 rooms!! I don't know what is big but big should mean sufficient space to walk and feel comfortable after the fittings and furnitures been put in.

@areankim,
You shouldn't rely on other people for information - u should go seek it urself. I can tell Place A is good but u might not think so.

@areankim,
I just browsed through iproperty.com.my and did a search for residential units below RM250k in PJ / Selangor and I had 541 results. Perhaps u can go through that too and check - some results are irrelevant as they're bungalow land but at least that'll give you an idea.

It does look like there are a couple of units available for sale at Spring Damansara. I saw a Sutera Damansara too, which I think isn't too bad but i haven't been in there to have a look see.

Am checking out Bukit Utama this afternoon but that's out of your budget.

@myusername,
Bukit Utama is the condominium near KBU, opposite Centrepoint. I don't think it's the same as Pelangi Utama. Those condos are just known as Bukit Utama.

I'm staying at Puncak Damansara, and you might want to check out here. I think it is within your budget and very near to 1-Utama too. If you don't know Puncak Damansara, then do you know the new Pelangi Utama? Pelangi Utama = new = 6 blocks, Puncak Damansara = slighty older = 6 years = 3 blocks. From TV3, you go straight, Shell and Mobil on the left, turn left is Pelangi Utama = Pelangi Damansara 2, another 150 m, turn left again you can see 1 block of low-cost and 3-blocks of Puncak Damansara on your right.
