Casa Idaman Condominium
There is a growing property scene in the Jalan Ipoh area, especially for condos, in the last 2 or 3 years. Previously, the areas surrounding Jalan Ipoh are mainly matured landed homes townships, serving as a fringe area for the city.
Obivously a luxury condo won’t do well in this area, even if it is a low density development. What should work well would be an affordable mid rise one, which gives the residents a choice to buy one here for their children or for investment, not far from where they stay.
CP Group launched their Casa Idaman recently, with exactly the above criteria in mind to make it an attractive prospect. They have priced it at RM190psf onwards, this is far more affordable that other established places like Mont’Kiara and Hartamas. On the location, I think you can’t escape the fact that this is Jalan Ipoh. Surrounding the condo are schools and matured landed development, an army camp, and lots quite aged commercial area. But we were quite pleased with Casa Idaman on the whole.
There are two similar blocks with 304 units each, the two blocks going up to 14 levels, and with two levels of parking on the ground. There are only three types of units available, at 1,007sq.ft., 1,062sq.ft. and 1,181sq.ft. There are no duplex units, and no penthouses either. Type A, the largest unit type, has 4 bedrooms, while the other two types have 3 rooms. The design of the units are quite traditional, and all units come with balconies. From what we understand, the units either face KLCC or Batu Caves.
Aside from the main building tower, there is an annexe for common facilities, like the pool, gym and shops.
The maintenance fee is set at 15sen psf, and they are offering 2 covered parking bays with every unit. Please check with the sales personnel for the latest info.
We like this place. For us, Jalan Ipoh is a great place to stay, mainly for its proximity to KL (only 6km to KLCC) and it is a haven for local food. While the traffic maybe a problem at peak hours, it no worse than any other areas of the city. This is an affordable condo with commendable facilities that is an exciting addition to the area. Some buyers may be concerned with the power cables nearby.
The developer is a subsidiary of the CP Group, a well-established player that has been around for a while. Their flagship is the C P Tower in Section 16, PJ. Currently they are also working on the RM2bil Queensbay project in Penang.
