QUOTE(Quik! @ Jan 2 2008, 07:26 PM) For that price range and for that location, I would say it's a good buy lor...you can expect much when your budget is around Rm200k tops. I think the parking issue outside the condo has subsided a bit, still got people parking but much fewer. If i'm not mistaken there are parking lots now for rental in Pelangi Astana. gonnna go there and have a view tonite. go once for afternoon, go once nite, once evening.. haha to check out the enviroment there. 5-6 ppl sure tight. 4 ppl shud be ideal. hopefully i will get a good buy soon.5-6 people...quite tight lar...but it has 3 rooms, so at least living wise is ok  any pelangi damansara ppl here? |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jan 3 2008, 06:28 PM) @myusername, yea.. i know... but if u guys suggest i can narrow down my search... everyday look at classified now... hehe 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.  mayb if u guys bump into some good deal.. give me some inpt |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jan 4 2008, 09:32 AM) @areankim, okie!! iw ill browse tru and see see.. thnx for the infroI 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. Added on January 4, 2008, 1:49 pm QUOTE(stacko @ Jan 4 2008, 10:53 AM) 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. that is apartment? or condo? i saw right infront of the low cost apartment is DANA 2, not compelte yet. will goggle puncak damansaraThis post has been edited by areankim: Jan 4 2008, 01:49 PM |

QUOTE(myusername @ Jan 5 2008, 11:11 AM) Kota Kemuning?! Wow, that is a long long way from your initial criteria of being near your workplace! It seems like you have your priorities all jumbled up. Unless you mean Kota Damansara which I mentioned before? havent decide. cos most of the landed and near is either too expensive or not available. now i weighting all my option. list out of the possible. after a hard tot, i think i want to buy a house for long term. which in this case landed will be better. hai~~ so undecided.Btw, I have a friend who has a bungalow there, beautiful place, within a cul-de-sac. But, going there feels like travelling outstation  |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jan 6 2008, 02:00 PM) @myusername, kota damansara is all so expensive. mostly 300k+, i think will not buy condo. considering the maintenance fee, leasehold, extra parking = extra money. USJ is old, will try to get the best deal.. Hopefully there is. Not in the rush. still stick to rm220k budget, hopefull to get a good bargain. USJ1 is out of consideration, leasehold and much older.I was just teasing  @areankim, Yes, Bandar Sri Damansara is right after the LDP toll. If ur looking at toll-less roads, u shouldn't consider Bukit Rimau/Kota Kemuning either. USJ houses should be fine but u need to check what's the market value. I personally don't like the idea of buying a house which is too old; too much retification works might be needed but if all is in good order, perhaps it's worth a try. Also, 20 x 60 seems a lil small, no? I also don't like USJ because of the heavy traffic. Perhaps u could look at Kota Damansara? |
