Property Malaysia

Seri Petaling is known for a lot of things. Endah Parade, fabulous dim sum, proximity to Old Klang Road and Kesas highway, a congested commercial area and old linkhouses. Then there is the proposed KL-Putrajaya highway. (For our write up on the KL-Putrajaya and Sri Petaling, check out this article).

Endah Puri is also known for PJ Development, and they have recently launched Endah Puri, another condominium just next to the KL-Seremban highway and Kesas highway. Access to the place is via the main road just off the Kesas. Location is more or less favourable, given proximity to the highways and KL city. There is also a vibrant business and commercial centre (some may say over-congested and haphazard), and recreational facilities.

This is billed as the last Endah series of condo in the area. It probably is, we wouldn’t know (no, sales person there, remember?). When we were at the sales office, there wasn’t a single sales person there, except a security guard. And some of the rooms in the temporary show flat were stripped bare because they were moving it to the actual condo. So, excuse us if we miss out one or two little details.

The condo is laid out in a two large blocks, both enclosing the pool and common facilities. They have full condo facilities, and some pretty impressive security features (developers seem to be touting this three tier security thing recently…). On top of that, they have internet-ready points in the units, high-speed broadband connectivity, wireless hotspots at common areas and intelligent home systems. Guess they are wooing the yuppie income group.

There are 4 types of units available, starting with 1,062sq.ft to 1,541sq.ft.

The smallest one, Type A (1,062sq.ft), is a standard 3 bedroom design, with a balcony. The kitchen is open, so smoke gets into your living and dining. They have what they call a ‘compartmentalized bathroom’ for all the units. It has 3 equally sized partitions, an open sink area, a door into the WC, and a shower area.

Type B (1,211sq.ft) is a slightly enhanced version of the smallest unit. It has an additional utility / maid behind the yard, making it detached from the unit.

Type C (1,237sq.ft) is almost the same size, but may not be so desirable for families, it is oddly polygon in shape. Because of this, the master and one other bedroom is affected, resulting in unusable space. Not good.

Type D (1,541sq.ft) is the largest, and probably quite attractive to large families. There are 4+1 rooms, but one of the main rooms is also quite small, probably meant to be a study. The kitchen is still open, though, and the yard is inconceivably large, partly due to it odd size again.

The developer is offering upgrade packages to add fittings and points, this is a good move.

One the whole, it probably is a good buy if you like the area, since there aren’t much choice in that area. But we don’t fancy living so close to busy highways and THAT commercial area, so it’s a matter of personal preference.
