hi all expert

i m a noob in buying a property, but currently thinking of getting 1, i m living in pj area and this newly developed conco looks kinda attractive from my point of view.
so hope to get information bout the condo from all the property expert here.

any expert here got some information to share bout the condo ? the pro and cons?

thanks alot

how much lah? subsale or from developer?

Ken 3... you've been looking from afar right?
have you tried going nearer?
it's built in between 2 low cost apartments

also... don't ask here... if you are just staying in PJ, move your lazy a$$ to their sales office/show room, you get more facts than speculation there

no offense, just kidding about your a$$

first of all how do u know i have not been their sales office yet?
second, do u 100% trust all the words from the seller?

Pls mind ur words, if u dont have any good constructive info to share here, move ur A$$ to other thread and spam there. no offence too, but feel like kicking ur stupid A$$

SS2 still got land for new development? Where is it near? I didnt notice.

wenloong78,

think Kenji was just trying to say that Ken 3's location is just..........terrible. A lot of ppl was conned into thinking that Ken 3's loation is the same as Ken2.

i don't and i don't care

"so hope to get information bout the condo from all the property expert here"
the above phrase from your first post sounds to me like you've just been admiring it from a distance, correct me if i'm wrong
also... you didn't provide unit size and price, which is the very basic requirement in property, regardless you are buying or not... correct me if i'm wrong again

i've been doing some light research on that area since mid 2006 because i have a condo around SS2 as well... and though i've not been to the sales office myself, having drove there and seen the condo is a real turn off because the low cost apartments are really close to Ken 3... you can also drop by myrealestate.net.my and see what the Ken 3 buyers are chatting about...

ken 3 is now officially going to be surrounded with low-cost developments from 3 sides, and only their front exit is facing a decent housing area. there's a new development at the back of ken 3, likely to be low-cost shop lots.

the distance between ken 3 and these developments are a stone's throw away, there'll always be security problems. although the price is relatively cheap compared to other ken developments, i personally do not think this is a good place to stay or invest. if you're thinking of staying, please bear in mind you will be living with foreign labours in your neighbourhood, there were already rumours and news on security concerns of ken 3. for investment wise, current owners are trying to rent out at rm1.4-1.5k, although i am not sure what unit, but the price is likely to deter house seekers because i can get a 5-room semi-d near that area at the same rental rate.

i believe ken 3 is really in a bad location compared to other condos nearby. and i can say that because i have friends staying in the low-cost flats beside that condo, having been there, i think it's sufficient to give be a negative feeling on ken 3.

well, advice for anyone who REALLY love KEN3, spare some money to buy higher floor ,at least few floors higher than the neighbour flats....

i hav seen aprtment penthouse unit still facing flats when open windows, so , KEN3 is still not the worst yet, LOL

Anyone know what is the development coming up between Ken 3 and the Section 19 houses or new Paris Restaurant. They have cleared a huge piece of land there and there seems to be some piling work being initiatied.

Cheers

fy

that area will be congested later on. and the fengshui there is not good. very high density area with alot of people staying there.

too high density area property wont go up. diversion of road is bad there

viewed a unit in Ken3 a week ago, lower floor n d owner try to sell at 288K, crazy....

going to view another unit tomoro morning, higher floor, 270K.

Think its Ameera residence

>300K....

lol bro if you are going for investment Ken3 is a very bad choice besides the low cost apartment beside it can give way better yield

wow ur Ameera so cheap? iirc it's around 500k

ken3 facing pool unit , 1200sqft asking for 330K, 3parking lot, free 4 aircond units. level6

facing both wing, level 22, nice view even if both side condo is up, 1057sqft, rm298K.

why level 22 is 30k cheaper than level 6? due to carparks?

Often pool view will demand higher price (same floor)
Maybe the side view not in demand as it is facing the lowcost?

side view u need to buy higher than 10floors and it is smaller size, 3rd room is too small. pool view 1200sqft will hav a nice view except low level , may be just above the flats level. another one is also 1200sqft, but facing the back, 308K.

i dont think ken 3 is worth the buy. It is so damn cramp...not even a proper pathway for residents to go for a short walk. Walkin through the car park to get to the lift lobby? the swimming pool is so small...i think it will be too small to even fit in 10 ppl at the same time. There is a construction for lowrise shops going on next to it and for the next 2-3 years? Bear with the sound and dust....At the same time, the view is nothing but roofs of the terrace houses.

With that price, you can get somewhere else alot better. Also, the unit is totally an empty unit without built in points for air conds, no kitchen cabinet etc. One probably need to fork out additional >5k to do up all these. not sure how much a fully furnished unit will cost but as someone that already getting used to buying condos, it is a definitely no no for me. Appreciation wont be much..from this time onwards, even the current buyers having difficulties letting go of their units. Too hard to justify with this price and facilities (no tennis courts), small gym, small pool with no wading pool etc.
