Alam Idaman, Taman Tasik Puchong
You guys remember Taman Tasik Puchong right? If you’re easily confused by all the almost-similar named projects around the Sepang-Puchong area, you’re probably not alone. Without going on to confuse you guys, Taman Tasik Puchong is by LBS Bina, on the road leading to Bandar Nusaputra and Putra Perdana. It’s somewhere near George Kent and located beside the road so you won’t miss it. We did a review of an earlier launch called Venezia, you can read it here.
For some of the other projects around here, you can check these reviews out:

What is different about Alam Idaman is that the concept employed here is single-storey cluster homes at a low price. The unit lot size is only 25’ x 38’, the length is only half the usual length of a normal link house. Since it is a cluster home, there is no backyard or backlane, and therefore the length is compromised in favour of a slightly wider frontage.
The clusters here are 4 units joined together as quads, and some end lots have 2 unit clusters. The units are spaced quite close together, with only a very narrow strip of green separating the adjoining house. It is only marginally different from linkhomes, and most people may opt to extend that portion of the house anyway so it may not be all that different in the end.
They still manage to fit 3 rooms and 3 baths in the small build-up, but the last bedroom has totally no ventilation due to the layout of the cluster concept. The kitchen opens out to side of the unit.
At 847sq.ft., it is spaced more towards apartment-sizing, rather than even terrace homes. But of course landed homes have slight advantage over apartments due to lower density and individual titles, but in terms of facilities they lose out since there is none here. Parking is provided in a separate area near your unit. For the price tag of RM150k (all units cost the same), you may need to think long and hard whether the landed unit concept is better than an apartment or not.
They seem to be going for the small kampong home concept here, although when we think of kampong, we usually associate it with wide open spaces and airy homes, but with the closely built small homes here, it could get a little stuffy and cramped.
Anyway, this isn’t for the majority of city folks, going by the looks of the unit. This project is actually a joint venture between a subsidiary of the developer LBS Bina, the Selangor State Secretariat and Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd.

I always wondered hoe single storey cluster homes look like. Is there any charge for the car park. You’re right, its like neither here nor there, in terms of a landed or apartment. With the price of land so expensive, is there any profit to be made?

Do you do any reviews of commercial properties (e.g. shophouses, shopoffices, offices, etc)? But I would like to say your site is very informative, thanks alot!

No. Unless it is a commercial residence property like serviced apartments.
