surian damansara? where is that? i only know of surian condo at mutiara damansara.

pelangi utama the price has gone up quite a bit recently, might have trouble getting a unit there for under 300k. if you can i would advise you to take it though. more for convenience than for investment.

casa tropicana, the units under 300k are odd-shaped, if i am not mistaken. please double check.

flora damansara - i don't quite like the location.

maybe you should consider emerald at damansara perdana if you don't mind serviced apartments. by the way, what kind of size are you looking at?

regardless whatever condo/apartment u choose
please avoid choosing those owned by Peter's Brickworks
the quality of service sucks
maintenance paid very high
but to repair a TV aerial fell down coz of wind so slow...took almost 1 week to settle
non-working lift? aiya...almost 3 months to settle...
leceh oooo

I am not sure whether the Surian Damansara is referring to the one along Persiaran Surian. It says near Subang and suddenly near to 1Utama.

I think you still can get Pelangi Utama for about RM260k. Heard there are lots of foreign students there. My friend just does'nt like it.

Not very sure about Case Tropicana.

I don't really like Flora Damansara because too high density but it's the cheapest apartment around that area.

Not interested in serviced apartments. I am looking for bigger units with 750sq ft min to 1200sq ft.

once shown on TV last time....
not sure the name of it...
but its in PJ

mine...that i'm renting now....
its in Balakong....
Summerfield Apartment aka Pangsapuri Bayu Suria

there are 2 new blocks...
still not fully occupied
on sale now....

How about Ken Damansara 1 & 2 in SS2? Next to LDP and Tropicana Mall..

Not bad either. But I dislike Ken3 as it was sandwiched by low cost flats. Anyhow, I think SS2 is a great place to live!

ken 2 is very nice. a bit expensive though. pelangi utama is full of african students. i wouldn't stay there.

Yes, Pelangi Utama is full of foreign students (not sure whether they are Africans). Anyhow, the condo is appreciating very fast among those mentioned in the list. Any idea?

Pelangi Utama is appreciating very fast. I think it has probably gone up about 20% in the past year.

If you ask me, this is due to the location. It is smack in the middle of Bandar Utama and Damansara Utama. However, do take note that for properties like these that are student-occupied, there is a maximum price that they can hit, and after that it is downhill all the way.

Are you interested in Taman Desa? There are quite a few condos there that are quite decently priced, taking into account its proximity to the city.
On the bright side, I get the feeling that there is still another 30% or so to go before Pelangi Utama peaks.

This Pelangi Utama is by Metro Kajang, right?

Luv their enterance

In fact, it was developed by its subsidiary, Cekap Corporation Berhad.

thanks for the info, Agape.

Hope they'll do a decent job for their upcoming projects as well.

I have visited a few units in the Pelangi Damansara Apartment, all units have leakage problem. Suggest you all to buy elsewhere.

I would suggest you to take Palm Spring instead if you are looking at properties along Persiaran Surian. The only thing i dislike about Palm Spring because it is high density. In fact, it is too high.

If you have higher budget, consider Surian Condo and Pai was right. You can't get that for less than 300,000.

in 2004, i bought one unit in Pelangi Utama (phase 1) for RM170k. Recently one of my real estate agent told me my unit can fetch about RM 260k, really not bad i must say. But i am not selling yet, right now rent out for RM1200/month.

You mean there are phase 2 and etc? I thought that was Pelangi Damansara (located at Persiaran Surian) because Pelangi Damansara 2 is actually Pelangi Utama. Correct me if I am wrong.

In Persiaran Surian, MetroKajang built quite a lot of low medium cost, medium cost, serviced apartment there. But the first 6 blocks of medium cost apartments are called Pelangi Damansara 1. it's white and fade pink colours.

then, this Pelangi Utama (sitting at Bandar Utama and Pekan Kayu Ara) is intially address as Pelangi Damansara 2, as to capitalise the MAGIC word - DAMANSARA, people tends to open their eyes bigger when they saw the word compare to, say example, CHERAS (no offence Cheras folks). But i guess the planning department of MBPJ vetoed the name and the developer have to change to Pelangi Utama (Utama as derived from Bandar Utama).

Pelangi Utama consists of 2 phases, each got 3 blocks, Block ABC is phase 1, while DEF.... u know.

Phase 2 is more expensive than phase 1, same design, same material, except phase 2 got larger floor tiles, got shower screen, bathtub(?) at the units, then there is a grand entrance, and another feature is each unit is link to the guard house with intercom system. To justify all these features i think MetroKajang jacked up at least 20% during the launch of phase 2.

In addition to that, Phase 1 and 2 have separate entrance and facilities. According to my friend who stays there.
