Parkville, Lake Edge Puchong
Parkville is another phase that is currently available for sale in YTL’s much talked about Lake Edge development. We have recently reviewed another phase of this development here (Waterville). Since we’ve discussed quite a lot about Lake Edge in general in that post, we won’t repeat ourselves and you are encouraged to check out that post to read our take on the location, connectivity and overall view of the development.
Parkville consists only of 16 completed units - 8 semi-detached homes and 8 bungalows. They are arranged in two rows, alternating between the two types. There is a narrow strip of linear park between the two rows. This park is lined with trees and contains a spice garden, a reflexology trail and walking path, and a long strip of pond. Because the homes here in Lake Edge are fenceless (the Australian style of living) this park connects with your home seamlessly, giving it a community kind of feel.
The semi D unit is about 4,102sq.ft., built on a minimum of 50′ x 90′ plot size. This is a very big plot size and correspondingly the build-up is also pretty big for a semi-D. On the side and rear there is a 10′ clear setback of garden space. In between adjoining units there is about 8′ between the two houses (which means about 4′ on each side). The two houses are only conjoined by a narrow strip of RC flat roof and roofing, so its not really a semi D unit per se, in the sense that there is no party wall to speak of. Overall the layout design is luxurious and modern - the living, dining and kitchen are at the back of the house, commanding a premier view of the park and pond. A sun room (which is kind of like a second living and guest room take up the front of the house. There is also a large courtyard beside the living. The powder room and maids plus toilet round off the ground floor. Upstairs there are 4 rooms all with ensuite baths, no family room (presumably its now the sun room below). Following the same design concept, the master bedroom is at the back of the house. The view from this room should be excellent.
The bungalow units are of course much bigger, going up to 5,194sq.ft. and built on a 60′ x 93′ plot. The design is almost similar to the semi D, but this unit has a rectangular footprint. The other design details are pretty much the same, except much bigger space all round.
Facade of the units closely follows the style set by most of the other units, mostly white and earth brown. The park is of course the drawing point for these units, and is which lends the name to this phase. Parkville is frequently compared to the Waterville units because the price of the semi D is quite close to Waterville. So which is better? It all depends on which type you like, they both have their pros and cons.
With 16 units only, there is of course an air of exclusivity to it all. Certainly the linear park is a big plus point and will be the main reason why some people are plonking the hard cash for these units, but on the other hand Waterville has its own private pool (albeit a very small and less private one). This is of course, completed and you can move in immediately. The semi-D units cost from RM1.7million onwards, You can also check out the finish quality as it stands before you move in, so you know exactly what your’e buying into. Certainly Parkville here stands to be compared to other units in Lake Edge, obviously it can’t be compared to other projects outside of here - apples to apples.
Incidentally, Bandar Bukit Puchong 2 has a similar project also named Parkville, with almost similar features - units facing a linear park, living room at the back. Of course the price is much much different though.

I am at loss here
when a landed property provides pool (dipping or swimable), immediately people will relate this to PRIVACY issue.
BUT when buy condo that comes with big lavish pool, nobody seems to see privacy of using such pool, despite of the potential of 500 to 800 pairs of eyes setting on the pool area……
Why leh? is there any diff of pool in your yard then pool in the more public place? which is deemed to be more private?
