So where is a better place to buy for investment?

Yes i'm agree with yours comment.

i actually love the design of KEN 3.. can i know approximately how much for one unit eh?
btw... it's true that the location is not so good as it was built between the low cost flats and i went there once and saw the low cost flats were actually filthy dirty because the residents there are throwing the rubbish everywhere around the condo

those low cost flats is really a sore sight. but that area is really booming with high rise condos now.

will go check it out during one of the weekdays morning. wanted to see how is the traffic condition like during morning rush hours.

don't think about it.. its management is suck.. some old-looked access cards will be given if u're the unlucky one and it gt damaged really really soon~ and u gt pay for repair.. what the coconut!!!

all units sold / rent out? hardly find ppl advertise Ken 3 lots / rooms

All units sold of course, at the pricing (RM180k) and the location. It is also very easy to rent out so most owners do not need to advertise.

You mean the initial price was 180k? what about the price now bro?

I used to go there before, the parking lots are alot empty but couldn't manage to find any empty units / rooms. Looking for one

Access card sticker can be changed FOC, never had it damaged and I have 6 different cards handled by different tenants for past 2 yrs.

About clamping, it happend twice to my propective tenant but we manage to get the guard to unclamp without any fine. I would rather have strict parking policies then haphazard.

Agree that the facilities are nothing to shout about and the maintainece is not fantastic but keep in mind this is a low cost condo, it was below RM180k during launch when Ken2 was launched @ RM250k. U cannot compare Ken3 with Ameera or MK as they are of different range. Where else can u find a sub-RM200k freehold condo in PJ area?

Anyway do PM me if u r looking to release ur unit as I'm in need of +ve cashflow

Added on November 3, 2010, 11:48 amInitial launching price was RM160k without carpark (additional RM18k). Currently asking price of RM380k (dunno whether realistic or just testing market)

I assume u went during the week-end or office hours coz at one time the carpark was full and tenant looking to rent carparks for RM150 to RM180 per mth.

The tenant pool r mostly students and young ppl from outstation. Most week-ends the place is very quite as many of the tenants 'balik kampung'

How about ken 2? The price now rm630k to rm680k for 1565sqf quoted by agent. Recently see a unit price at rm630k for 1565sqf empty unit, high floor, 2 carparks. Anyone here know the rental there?

630k? wow

Hi,

I am interested in Ken 3 for own stay.
Are the units mostly owner occupied or rented out?
How's the maintenance and upkeep of the condo?
How's the environment particularly the surroundings as it's "sandwiched" by two low cost flats? Is it noisy?
From what I can see, the flats look ok but any idea about the tenants' profile of the flats?

Please share your experience if you are staying here or have stayed before.

Thanks in advance!

people were selling their condo bcos there were leaking in the condo and crack at the wall due to bad workmanship by the developer or subcon.

ken1, ken2,ken3 were found with water leaking from the toilet and many repairing works to be done. fix already come back again

Thanks for the feedback.

Where did u hear about these leaks? Are u saying all the Ken condos from 1,2 and 3 have these problems?

yes even a friend & relatives of mind have been fixing leaks. leaks is a main problem especially from the toilet for condo. quickly repair and sell off

even izen II condo monte kiara also have alot of leakage, a relative quick repair and sold it off. HEADACHE

all recent new condo ,workmanship and product quality is poor. leaks and wall crack will be seen in a few years time.

Any fire sale since partition wall in front of the Ken Damansara 3 has collapsed 10m into nearby Sungai Penchala? To make the matter worse, rebuilding and strengthening the river bank is still in the midst of discussion between MBPJ, PJ major and Selangor Economic Planning Council.

Ken 3 collapsed partition wall

Haha...no so fast yet....maybe 2-3 later lah......

but the question is if the price drop until 250k....do you dare to sapu?

Look at the pic....really very serious, if the MBPJ not take action immediately and continually heavy rain few more day.....there is possibility the Condominium will collapse....

Even the MBPJ/Developer settle the issue......do you think still safe to stay.......

god bless ken 3

last time almost bought the 7th floor unit at 300k, somehow gt ppl faster than me.....that time think i am so bad luck, now feel myself quite lucky...

sandwich btwn low cost n did u read paper?

retaining wall next to the penchala drain collapsed
