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...

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.

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.
