Hi guys, i'm thinking of buying a house in Taman Desa, what do you guys think of this area?

In particular i'm looking at a 2-storey terrace house cost about RM678k, click here for more info and picture

Is this a good buy? Hope to hear all you experienced investor opinion.

My first time...hehe

What's the development name?

The photos are show unit pictures or actual unit?

Don't know yet, it says on Jalan Desa / Old Klang Road.

It should be actual unit fully furnished. But i haven't call the agent yet...

too exp boss....you can buy 2 USJ houses with that price....

U are not comparing apple to apple.

USJ is not Tmn Desa.

Distance wise, it's already 20km further to the city centre compared with Tmn Desa!!

worth buying if it's fully furnished + renovated
need to go there & see it personally

personally i think its a nice house, but too expensive. a typical double storey in taman desa is going for around 450~500K, depending on whether on its condition, reno , etc.. if you get the unit at around that price, basically you are paying around 200K more, for me if i am paying that amount, i might as well buy a normal unit and renovate it according to my taste.
however if you like the design done by the owner, by all means go ahead, it will save you tonnes of headache in the renovation process.

Personally, i'd opt for a TTDI dsl for this price...

Any good recommendation for TTDI? Any particular area in TTDI?

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Keep them coming!

I think any DSL in TTDI will beat Taman Desa for capital appreciation. At that budget, u can even get the nicely renovated ones.

Thanks alot Pai, i'll definitely check out TTDI.

why everyone like TTDI? i think taman desa location is good. now comes woth security patrol as well.

Taman Desa location is not bad, but you must check the specific location of the house itself.

According to the ad, land size is 2090 ft2, which means about 22x95 - that's quite large for a DSL. Obviously the owner is asking a premium for the renovations but you must see it to know how extensive is the reno. But from the photos looks quite nice.

If your budget is 600k+ then can consider TTDI (as mentioned already) or even BU. But the lot size will not be as big as 22x95. This will also affect the house built up area.

TTDI is a more upmarket / affluent area. Close to shopping (1U, The Curve, Tesco, Ikea). Got nice park in TTDI plus the hill for morning walks.

Taman Desa not bad also. Closer to KL city and less toll.

Guys,

this property confirmed fully furnished/renovated as in the picture. That is the actual house!!! And it's confirmed 2 rooms.

It's located at Taman Desa...Old Klang Road.

So what do you guys think???

you are not from KL right ?
ttdi - taman tun dr ismail
bu - Bandar Utama

Very nice interior..what is the best price offered?

Great price as what I can say. With the renovation + luxury interior, 600k++ is a good price. If the look a like house in my area would cost you about 1m already.

where is your area ?
