any recommendation for a safe taman in Puchong area ? looking for a double storey house..ranging from RM400K to RM500K...
the taman must have good security services...or gated.... (don't tell me about lake edge by YTL...is beyond my budget)

Puteri 8, Bandar Puteri (gated)
Puteri 12, Bandar Puteri (on top of the hill) - not gated but available security

A few properties come to mind... but I'd put my money on:-

Taman Meranti Jaya it's 2 and half-storey.
- Gated 24x7 guarded
- Freehold
- The design is modern and to my liking (personal preference)
- Price should be within your budget.



The developer Tanming has several commercial projects in and houses.

There are several from Bandar Puteri but IMHO Meranti Jaya offers more bang for the buck...

further inside from BK5 there's double storey selling at rm490k about 1 month i asked before...very nice...
the taman is called Puchong Harmony...
got security guard and is gated...

from my experiences....so far I think the best security is at Puteri 8...(but is old house....and got to look for
sub sale unit), another place with good security is Lake Edge Puchong....(but got no fencing)...

I think the security for Bdr Kinrara Harmony...not so good....!!!

why say so?
becoz it is too quite place? or the guard is not strict enough?

is too near to the foreign workers kongsi... and also the forest...

oh yeah the forest... but u can ignore the last row.. isnt it?
but never know there is a foreign workers kongsi

aaron

your new house is it?

anyway for me puchong is still relatively young and security is still an issue

Aaronpang.

nice houses at tmn meranti jaya but a bit far from KL city (at the price of 488k!!)

Bandar Kinrara is safe, i live at there.

Ola X zen,

I wish but sadly no I still live in Puchong Utama

IMHO Puchong residents probably don't need to go to KL very often so many shops and commercial building. I’m also looking forward to Setia Walk. Can see the construction as your drive by the LDP



For RM488k I would be hard pressed to find similar spec home in KL and there are more pricier homes in Puchong.

Before recommending Tmn Meranti to TS I did compare it to YTL Lake Edge and units in Bandar Puteri.

The price reflects the typical price of houses in Puchong with good buildup, freehold and the all important gated/guarded feature TS was looking for.

The buildup for Tmn Meranti is impressive 3000sqf. That’s a lot of living space and its freehold.

Compare that to Olivia Bdr Puteri
Similar land size 22" x 70"
Freehold
2215sqf build
Price starts from RM508k
No gated/guarded

Much smaller buildup in Bandar Puteri minus 800sqf.

Safety is debatable a crime distribution index is far more reliable, does anyone know where to find updated information for areas like Puchong, Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur.

i personally stay at wawasan 1...just a security check point for 50 monthly..i feel good enough..maybe i not rich enough

What about Mutiara Puchong which is behind Tesco Puchong. Has anyone got any comments? It is a gated community. It is next to Lake Edge.

mutiara location not so good....got to go in via tesco...but i think security should be good...cause
i her all residents signed agreement to pay monthly fees of about RM100....

I live in Bandar Puchong Jaya...so far the crime rates r low there...thank god...

Used to live there, rented a house for 10 years and the level of crime from my POV is high.

I felt paranoid living in Bandar Puchong Jaya. IMHO most places in Malaysia is unsafe or not as safe as it should be.

During my days in Bandar Puchong Jaya the following crimes happened that I knew about first hand:-

Someone climbed our house gate and stole my shoes

Colleague house on a different road got broken into... the thief stole his TV, laptop and electrical items while he was away (he later moved to a condo)

Neighbor Lexus got stolen... this was when we had security patrol doing their rounds at night

The car thief also probably poisoned my dog coz the next day my dog fell sick.

Old lady (neighbour) got rob on her way home from the bus stop by those mat rempit.
