Harmony, Bandar Kinrara (Phase B43A1)
We were driving along the Sg. Besi – Puchong highway when we noticed new banners on the light poles (yes, that primary property launch advertisement method…).
It turned out to be the latest Bandar Kinrara launch, entitled ‘Harmony’. No, it’s not the latest boyband from New York, its link houses. In Malaysia.
For a thorough review of the entire Bandar Kinrara, including access, facilities, quality, and pricing of the development, check out overall development review here. We strongly recommend you read that article first (if you haven’t already done so) before reading this one.
So we turned into Bandar Kinrara (BK) at the interchange with the giant golf ball landmark and followed the bright new banners. Depending on banners and no signboards can be a risky thing, you can miss a turning.
Anyway, we found the project site, where they were doing piling and ground beams. The location is just off the road to the golf club, where all the prestigious expensive bungalows are located. This project site is not too bad, there are some higher ground and forest surrounding it.
So we then scooted off to the I&P sales office at BK5.
‘Harmony’ is actually phase B43, with 7 rows of linkhomes set out in 4 side roads. For this current launch, only 66 of the 132 units are up for sale, which is 6 blocks of houses. There is one basic layout for all the units, with a few minor variations here and there, plus the end and corner types, there are actually 6 different types. Of one basic layout. Anyway.
We suppose they’ve gotten linkhouse design down pat, since they’ve successfully launched so many phases. Driveway can comfortably accommodate two large cars side to side, at the expense of a garden patch. Most families straightaway tile up the green to make way for parking anyway, so this might suit them. The entrance to the house is alcoved in. The living is well spaced, but the dining is not. As a trade-off, there is a dry kitchen, and a rather small wet kitchen. The maid’s room is quite big, and is suitable even as a study or guest room.
Upstairs, not much comments, The master bedroom is large, And the two other bedrooms share a small attached bath. One plus point here is that, with the exception of the end and corner units, there aren’t any balconies for the unit, which is good, since we don’t fancy it. Another thing to note here is that end lots here, have a narrow side garden (a bit like a truncated corner unit), unlike the end lots of other developments where there is zero setback.
As we have delved in our development review of Bandar Kinrara, the excellent facilities (read about it here) and location is the prime selling point of the units. Plus it freehold ex-estate land, the price reflects these points. Therefore the price range, RM338,327 to RM541,541 may be beyond the reach of the average housebuyer.
