to be honest i think kayu ara has a looong way to go, until they clear up the setinggan houses.. the latest launch is the westwood terrace townhouse. leasehold with not so much years left. quite expensive too. min RM400k.. for own stay, not so good. for investment purposes.. a bit difficult me thinks.. coz there are many apartments in that area..

yes, there is a mosque in kayu ara.. just to let you know.. 90% of residents in BU1 (which is closest to kayu ara) are chinese.. i don't think there is a problem lah.

but opposite the westwood terrace there is a hotel project coming up soon.. a hotel in kayu ara? a bit strange isn't it?

the pros:
1) near centre point, 1 utama
2) near shoplots @ pelangi utama
3) near uptown
4) near damansara exit

the cons:
1) congested area
2) image & name (kayu ara)
3) environment

i would say kayu ara is equivalent to kampung keramat in kl..

on a side note, beverly residence is not doing very well.. til today many units are unoccupied.

well, my late grandfather called the place 'Ara-wood' hehehe

actual fact the official name is Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara, unless the authority plans to change it.
