The Oasis, Bandar Kinrara
The other day we were driving past the Bukit Jalil highway when we saw that Bandar Kinrara hasd launched another phase of their township. So as usual, we dropped by their sales office at BK5 to check it out.
It turned out to be a very exclusive and luxurious ‘private residence’ townhouses, named The Oasis. It very high-end, with 32 units in a gated community, with clubhouse facilities, and lush landscaping. This project is currently open for registration.
This is an ongoing series of reviews for all the currently launched phases in Bandar Kinrara. For our views on the location, quality, accessibility and overall take of the entire Bandar Kinrara development, please check our our Development Review:
Development Review: Bandar Kinrara
In addition to that, you can check out the other phases reviewed before by Property Malaysia (some of them may have been sold out):
Harmony (double storey linkhomes)
9@Kinrara (double storey linkhomes)
Damai@Kinrara (double storey linkhomes)
Spektra (9A4)
As for The Oasis, it is located on a slightly elevated land at one corner of the Bandar Kinrara. The site itself is divided into 4 Precincts, each precinct has 2 to 3 blocks. Each ‘block’ is actually one 2 to 4 units, all linked with a covered walkway. The entire phase is more of a resort concept, with lush greenery, sparse roads and big, big bungalows. Even the units are generously spaced out, with no fences but lots of green area in between. Each precinct has a common driveway, but it is in itself a big area, enough to park as many cars as you can own.
With the perimeter fencing and gated concept surrounding the Oasis, the security is maintained by one single entry and exit point.
Looking at the units, there are basically 3 types of layout available, with either the lower floor or the upper floor for your choice. Both upper and lower units have their own separate entry from the covered carparking, and they all come with a private garden terrace, which is a large balcony with two planting areas (except type C, which the balcony is quite small).
Because these are townhouses, they would most probably have strata titles, therefore the units do not have any yard or garden as would a normal bungalow house. The units are about 2000+ sq.ft., the exact size is not given. They come with 3+1 bedrooms and 3 baths, and the living and dining area comes with an addition of a family area with an attaching balcony. For type A, the living is set on a lower split level from the rest of the house. All the units are actually set on a split level footprint, so that even the lower floor is an elevated level at the living and garden terrace area.
The external façade of the units looks quite appealing, with earthy colours and tiles, but the finishing internally is quite bland.
We’re not quite warm to the idea of townhouses ourselves, but for those who do, this warrants a look. The units are priced from RM600k to RM900k, which is a little steep, but they have some good things going for it, like freehold land, good facilities, 24-hour security, impressive landscaping and big spaces.
One thing you might consider is that for that price, if would you prefer a corner unit of a linkhouse, a small bungalow or this kind of unit. For people who like privacy and some garden space, this may not be very suitable. But having said that, this place is quite impressive and beautiful.

Do you guys think that the Waste Transfer Station will have any impact on the property prices both current & future for Puchong? The Oasis still seems to be priced at the higher end. Thanks in advance for your e-mail.

Hello Admin,
I also have the same concern as per Preacher’s early post. I am interested on purchase of a Damai@kinrara unit, but not sure on the property investment potential at that area. Will it still be a nice place to stay after the implementation of WTS? Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Toyo,
sorry for the late reply. To me personally, i don’t think BK will be affected by the WTS. Assuming the WTS station goes ahead at the Kg. Bohol site, there is still a distance to the station from BK, and there is lots of buffer in between in the form of other developments, and green area.

Thanks for the reply. There is update that the Waste Transfer Station might be relocated. Maybe I should wait for another few months and see how it turns out.

Thanks Admin for the reply. I heard that gov might relocate the WTS. I guess I will wait for another few more weeks and see how things turn out, before I make the purchase decision.
