I fell in love with Amaya Condo Show-Unit! This condo till today is not even ready yet. However its the lifestyle and concept that made my decision to hunt for a condo.
In today's lifestyle, we are all looking for a balance (work, social, family, etc). Thus, time is the biggest taboo as everyone is rushing for something. So Condo definitely fits my bill as I can convenient buy groceries in the tuck shop, have my laundry picked up (not that I dont do my own washing..but let say for the big items, the condo has an in-house laundry). The condo has facilities that is made convenient for its residents. Sports Centre (squash (iHeart), swimming (iHeart). Too bad, no small put for golfers. Then hair salon, massage centre, facial, child care, kindy, cafe, etc.
Besides facilities, the other factor is securities. At least it gives you a peace of mind compared to staying in a landed. Not to say that condo is 100% safe, but if I were to to compare to my SJ house, I would rather stay somewhere else. (Will blog about SJ house sometime later)
Of course, the weak side of staying in the condo is parking, getting in and out (not as freely as staying in a house), high maintenance charges, population, etc. However I can overcome those la.

Condo is it
After I made the decision on the location, secondly is the type of property.
So I went searching. I bought Thestar newspaper on Thursday and Saturday as this 2 days, it will have more advertisers. I narrowed the search to SS3, SS4, SS5, SS6, SS7, Ara Damansara and Glenmarie (the one nearer to AD like Bungaraya)
Honestly, my first choice is a single-storey house with land. I dont mind if its old as I am prepared to tear down and re-build. Of course, not that old too (ie: more than 30 yrs?) because then, the entire house' piping, sewage and possible grounding works needs to re-do.
The price of those were sky-rocket and it fetch no cheaper than RM1m. Do I want to spend RM1m on a house? and another RM200k on reno?
In SS3, there is single-storey link houses near the LRT station (good) but then, there is no fresh air. I will end up facing the neighbor's room, kitchen, etc..
AD's houses are slightly over-priced and definitely in terms of of value/investment, it is not a good choice cos your ROI will not be appreciated.
Since then, I gave up on the idea of getting a landed and went for Condo searching. I knew condo was the answer when I first step foot to Amaya Condo by Malton Group.
