My gf (wife soon to be) and I are planning to get a condo / apartment for ourselves. We would like it to be somewhere along Selangor / Federal Territory. Places like PJ, SJ, KJ, OUG, Puchong is fine... Not out of the way places like Cyberjaya, Rawang, Selayang, etc.

I think our budget should be around RM200 - 250k. Our monthly repayment should NOT be more than 2k. Where is a good location right now? We both live on landed property and will continue to live in landed property. This condo / apartment is for like weekend stay or maybe later on rented out. Where is a good location?

Since we have never lived in condo / apartment before, what are some of the rules that will apply to us as buyers? There's some maintenance fee but how much is it these days?

Appreciate those who can guide / point me in the right direction. For those who wants to say its unwise to do that, etc, please be supportive or advise accordingly. If you're into flames, please stay out because I dont know, I baru ask.

Thank you.

When we settle down, we will still live in our landed property. We are from Klang. We would like our apartment / condo to be somewhere middle nearer to KL city / PJ / Bdr Utama / Sunway. Klang it a bit far if we have to travel, especially if its jammed.

PJ... Where is Crimson apartment? Places near The Curve there, I've seen apartment that like 6 or 8 floors high and quite nice. How much is it I wonder and whats the area called? Let me know your views tomorrow for both.

SJ... not really.

Bkt Jalil... Yes, this seems like an interesting places as its near to Old Klang Road and go KL / Cheras easily. Is the only condo place near IMU there?

When you said 15 - 25 cents means what? I thought the monthly payment is something like... RM120 - RM180 per month? Not sure how to calculate when you give me in cents.

I'm saying MAX 2k... I'm hoping to be below 1.5k so shared one month, each pay RM700 suffice to get us a small getaway home in the city. Or sometimes too tired to come back Klang, can live in the condo.

Oh ya, one more important thing to note... LOW POPULATION, meaning lesser unit in a floor to avoid congestion / packed.

I wish to thank you all for rpelying. I am sorry I have been busy and didnt have the time to login here to check my thread. I appreciate all the knowledge and experience you have shared with me. Below are my replies:

Woww,... I've seen the thread, it's so longggg!!!

Maintenance too high ler. The one behind Summit USJ is 320k with 3 carpark. Give up a carpark and save RM10k. I think the maintenance only less than RM200.

tinkerbel,
Thank you for teaching me what i meant by 15 - 25 cents, etc. Appreciated. Yes, I am aware of the cost and commitment is not short-term. That's why I have to think carefully on this and if invested, should be of good location and someday if wanna sell, would not be difficult.

Wowww.w... longest post and very informative. Yes, I dont like high density areas. Anggap I anti-social! Hahaha... KJ is jammed up on LDP and I dont quote like the area. Bkt Jalil is worth looking into as its quite near to the city > OUG > Federal > Pusat Bandaraya. I like it too.

RM2k or less (around RM1.5k) is inclusive of maintenance but not bills. I dont think our bills will be very high if we only live there a on weekends or on the days we're too tired to drive back home.

Hi Pai,
You sound like a pro at this... Sorry, I'm new to these terms but what's a studio? (*please dont fall off your chair) By the way, where is D'sara Intan?


Woww... this sounds very convincing. Anyway, I wont post anything unless I know what's a studio. Lol... sorry!

Ok, cool.. studio units are like those shown in the american movies!! We had wanted something like that. Actually, I have wanted something like that on my own but I thought these arent available in M'sia.

Where can I find some of these? If two people and not for family staying, I think studio unit suits me as well but I need to see the real thing and discuss this with my partner.
