Top Condominiums in Petaling Jaya

It’s fun to read article of nice & beautiful houses. I have gone through the properties website and found few luxury condominiums that have drawn my attention. Anyway, all of them are located in Klang Valley instead of Ipoh. Sterling in Kelana Jaya which developed by South Malaysia Industries is one of the condominiums that amazed me. This is a popular development at a strategic location that easily access to several expressways such as NKVE, LDP & Federal Highway. There are also few popular shopping malls like 1-Utama, The Curve, Sunway Pyramid & Giant Hypermarket at nearby. The huge condominium clubhouse as well as sports complex & the internet broadband access are some other attractive features. However, the website shares some weak points such as noise pollution & traffic congestion during rush hours.

Another attractive condominium, Ameera Residences, is also at this region of Petaling Jaya, SS2, which is easily accessible from few expressways nearby such as LDP & Sprint. It consists of a low-rise block & a 29-storey tower block, which I think the population density would be slightly pulled down by the smaller block. Nevertheless, the advantage of being located at SS2, the most happening part of Petaling Jaya is the convenience to get anything you can think of, but the disadvantage is one has to endure the noise, congestion & security issue on such a developed area. Well, I believe there still people who do enjoy the crowded environment.

Surian Condominiums at Mutiara Damansara with just 376 units, 40 units per acre, is a low density residence. It is close to the expressway of LDP & NKVE, and also at walking distance to several popular shopping malls like The Curve, Tesco & IKEA. This is an advantage that one can enjoy convenient modern life without leaving the neighborhood. The condominium provides 2 side-by-side car parks for each unit which I believe is greatly welcomed by most of Malaysian families. Anyway, the busiest access to the area is right next to it & noise pollution is unavoidable.

At less than 500m away from Surian Condominiums, Opal Damansara, which developed by Sunway City, promotes semi-detached house concept. The developer offers some upgrading works (3-phase wiring, concealed drainage piping, etc.) without charge & reserve 30% of the development for landscaping should make it a more attractive on top of the advantage of close proximity to expressways & shopping centers. Opal Damansara also provides an extraordinary feature that is the water filter at the main water inlet, which enables clean water supply to all residents.

Another development by the well known IJM Land located nearby Tropicana Golf & Country Club is Riana Green Condominium. It consists of several blocks that are low rise, medium rise & high rise with total of 1,500 units. Tropicana is a high class vicinity, with schools, colleges & golf club at nearby. Access to expressway NKVE through Kayu Ara exit is convenient & it leads to the connection with shopping malls at the prime areas. Riana Green provides the very limited studio units at this region & I believe this is an ideal residence for singles, couples or even new families.

There are many more nice & luxury residences at Petaling Jaya & I do enjoy exposing to the brilliant ideas by different developers to attract buyers.

Looking for Room

There are many Ipoh youngsters choose to work away from hometown once completed study from college or university because there is little job opportunities in this city. The industrial & infrastructure development are behind other major cities in the country, such as Kuala Lumpur, Johor Baru, Penang, Melaka, Shah Alam & Seremban. Therefore, it is very common for a Ipoh boy or girl to look for renting a room at their first job in the stranger city. By a chance I find a website, Cari Bilik (means “find a room” in Malay), which is very helpful for those boys & girls, of course not only from Ipoh but from allover the country, even overseas, to look for a suitable & affordable room to stay. To my surprise the website contains as many as 20,000 posts of room for rent, covering all states and major cities in Malaysia, in which the posts concentrated at fast growing areas like Kuala Lumpur, Selangor & Penang. For each post, it has typically information of rent rate, facilities, preference of tenant & contact. Some are attached with photo. To search in this website is quite simple & straight forward as its room location is categorized by state & subsequently by town. The website is not only providing a platform for someone to search for room, but also to advert the room to let. A user, either an advertiser or a seeker, is required to complete a free registration for login to upload posting or retrieve contact. I find this is a good feature to protect the privacy of advertiser. Anyway, there are some owners already included the contact numbers in the post. Let’s try this website if one is looking for room for rent in Malaysia.

Malaysia Property Website

Working in my current job, I have chance to chat with visitors from overseas whom could be my customer or vendor. When out for meal or shopping, we usually talk about Malaysia properties because they are curious about how’s the value of houses over here. I got most of them find the properties in Malaysia are good, quite affordable & worthwhile. Recently I found this website, PropWall, which is a good interface for the local citizens as well as foreigners to seek their dream house in Malaysia. The website promotes high quality properties from landed houses to luxury condominiums, and also offices, shops & factories. It contains quite a large number of choices that located mostly in Kuala Lumpur, Klang Valley and Penang. Besides, clear and large photos are available for viewing, make it a fast & convenient way to assess the property. Furthermore, there are details about a particular community or development project such as the developer background, nearby communities, transportation, population, facilities and much more useful information. The feature I like most is the analysis column in which comments are posted about the property that gives a wider coverage of information. In case anyone is interested, I believe to find a right contact person is not a problem because a list of agents is available. I do hope there will be more properties in other cities throughout Malaysia, such as Johor Baru, Ipoh, Kuching, Melaka, etc. included in this website. To explore more about Malaysia Property, this is the right website of viewing.
