As a former resident of 4 years, just wanna point out that traffic can be insanely long as the only means for us to commute to Jalan Kuching is through the densely narrow neighbourhood of Taman Wahyu along Jalan Sibu followed by the Jalan Kepong Lama around kampung Delima. There was supposedly a road that was meant to give us a quicker access to the highway as promised by the developers but work was constantly delayed throughout the years despite our attempts at reaching out for DBKL. It's only recently that the construction restarted and is scheduled to complete by late January 2024.
Those money-minded developer doesn't care about dat. They just good at finding empty plot of land & build highly densed pigeonholes & sell at exorbitant price & dupe ppl into believing buy nw or regret later scheme😊 Just take a look at projects nearby kepong metropolitan park. 🙃
Just FYI, my friend is staying in block D was complaining some residence there don't pay maintenance fees for few years, ended up their access card got terminated by the management. And so these guys just stand at the lobby waiting for other residences so they can enter the block. With that maintenance fees, the management could have more budget to make this project more appealing. Hopefully can see more of your videos in Kepong area (Kiara bay, Pintasan Segambut, Jalan Ipoh)
Sometimes we need to be stereotypical enough to avoid these sort of problems. A condo in this area is always going to have problems like this where owners don’t pay maintenance fees.. i stayed in Kepong and Jalan Ipoh before mind you, so I’m speaking from experience.
Should have a law to protect management n other residents , so when these basket don’t pay their maintenance fees there are proper actions taken like lelong their house lol. So irresponsible, they dint pay nvm but afraid management don’t upkeep the facilities bcoz of them

Indeed Lakeville Residence is a nice place to stay. I am a tenant and have been staying here for 2 years plus. My brother bought a unit here and I am staying at the same block with him for my parents convenience to visit both of us at the same time. But the downside of staying at Lakeville is the morning traffic towards Jalan Ipoh and Jalan Kuching in the morning especially weekdays. You can queue for half an hour just to reach the junction. Then it takes another 10-15 minutes to enter Jalan Kuching. I am planning to move out by end of the year because I can see if Lake City's residents are moving in the traffic will become worse. Nowadays the jam queue will start at 6.30am and I think soon or later it will start earlier. I really like this place as it is really quiet and you can have a peace of mind to stay here. Unfortunately the traffic is so terrible and it is far from my current office.
been staying for past 3 years, one of the best taken care condo in my experience.. The community here very supportive and cooperative. only 2 issue, management very strict with payment (270/per month) but its actually good for the way this condo be taken care. only main issue is the morning traffic :(
Stayed at Kepong area before. Its nice to see the area being developed. However, from a investments/rental income point of view, i think it will be a good place given the connectivity of the area.
Terrible single lane kampung road exit out of Taman Wahyu to go back to KL direction. Jalan Kuching also jam 24/7. For own stay, there's not enough amenities in the area. Maybe ok for investment
4 years ago see you review ecosky thought will review lakeville after that but the video is late after 4 years. Next hope to see you review JL 99 Residency and Lakecity
i always wonder how does the interior of these apartments look like, actually not bad. The facilities is quite well maintained, and fish pond is so clean! The unit layout is not bad also. This project feel homey
Technically residents will first escape to the fire escape staircase where it’s pressurised to avoid smoke from going in. And to ensure that, there is a max distance between any space within the apartment to a door. Within the corridor space then there will be fire hose reels, for commercial title buildings then will have sprinklers. All just to provide more time for residents to escape via the staircase into the dedicated gathering zone on ground floor. Also, most main doors for apartments are 1 hour fire rated. Then the lift lobbies are also covered with fire rated doors. Something to also understand, smoke kills more people than fire yea. So the focus is to have more time for people to escape.
Condominiums in Malaysia are usually not well maintained.. this always been the push back factor not to look into condos. Is this a normal or I am too subjective? Welcome any replies 🙂
Having stayed in RC and in comparison, the feeling is that these shared facilities and the distance of it from own unit seems less convenient, i prefer own set of facilities in each block, and the experience of arriving the moment lift opens Higher density also will contribute enough people to flourish the commercial lots in a real mixed development that has more than 2 rows of shops 😊
Nice & lovely video to watch on the detailed explanation given of the project!! Keep it up!! Btw Sean, is there any possibility for your end to review & comment on the affordable housing beside it as well? It looks pretty decent too & would appreciate your feedback on it
But it’s the only way to reduce the selling price. There will be other options with lower density but the price is drastically higher. Anyway, thanks for watching;)
@akane8615 it is driven by demand bro. Think about it, who doesn't want to live in low density condo or even landed in the city if their financial capability allows it?
@@alvinsoong123 Housing in hong kong that are built like this are also because people can't afford to buy house there so it became a poverty block. Basically, we also can't afford to buy house in Malaysia. That's sad. I guess the difference is we have more land so if we go out of kl, it'll probably be better there.
@@iherng Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan E&O Sdn Bhd @ Tmn Wahyu. Their fish head curry is good and fresh, though abit pricy... Our family stay in Cheras always go all the way north just for their food.
Personally, I don't think it is ethical to stay at low dense anymore. Especially when reserved forest is being cut down to make way for it. Resulting in more floods.
Your reviews are always very addictive to watch

My thoughts exactly when Lake City was launched.. the neighbourhood will be screwed..

Just take a look at projects nearby kepong metropolitan park. 🙃
@@MrPoppyplantsi was there just last weekend, the jam near the kampung road stretched all the way back near lakeville already
Is the road completed already?
Now completed but not yet open for public @@TheDdealwis

29:02 should be lake city instead of park city
Ahhh thanks, was always wondering about this one when passing by via MRT.

Quite a nice place
Hi sean, what you think about 168 park selayang? The one with condo above the mall
Hi sean! Please review beside project lakecity also! And arunya kl north also!!!
hi sean...if cn pls do alam impian area review...try to search ur video, so far cant find any
I have always wondered how you escape the fire with these tall buildings?
Technically residents will first escape to the fire escape staircase where it’s pressurised to avoid smoke from going in. And to ensure that, there is a max distance between any space within the apartment to a door. Within the corridor space then there will be fire hose reels, for commercial title buildings then will have sprinklers.

@@iherng How do you escape smoke from the 50th or 40th floor to the ground floor using a staircase? How do firefighters extinguish high-rise fires?

Wow, thanks for reviewing Lakeville~i’m staying in block E😄
Nice & lovely video to watch on the detailed explanation given of the project!! Keep it up!!
Btw Sean, is there any possibility for your end to review & comment on the affordable housing beside it as well? It looks pretty decent too & would appreciate your feedback on it
completed since 2017 but no people like that?
As a foreigner, I am curious to know what is the plot ratio for both landed housing and high rises in Kl and greater kl.
please review residensi bintang bukit jalil :)
19:52 this is a wow!
can also review the lake city kl north? as the developer recently has many bad news.. so wondering will it be affected to the new projects?
Haven't been to Jalan kuching for so long
Hahaha. Nothing much has changed.
Thanks for watching!!
hi sean. what do you think of buying service apartment for investment in selayang?
Not a fan of high density, wish it could be atleast moderate density.
But it’s the only way to reduce the selling price. There will be other options with lower density but the price is drastically higher.
Anyway, thanks for watching;)
@@iherng If you think abt it, we dont really need hong kong type of density in Malaysia. I wonder if this is made more for an investment.
@akane8615 it is driven by demand bro. Think about it, who doesn't want to live in low density condo or even landed in the city if their financial capability allows it?

hi may i know how many level the facility desk are?
There one deck, but multiple levels to it:)
is this place popular with Africa, Middle East and India communities ?
Where is Jalan Kuching located?
Google that;)
One of the main roads of KL bro
@@alvinsoong123yah I get that. It’s actually not too bad in terms of location. Some fully furnished can be found at 1900/ month! It’s on my list.
1st comment after watching the entire video! :D
Appreciate it Michael!!
How much is this unit?
can walk to mrt station?
I don’t think so. It’s very close but no direct access.
Mrt Bro....not Lrt
so near to famous curry fish head shop
Eh?? Really? Where??
@@iherng Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan E&O Sdn Bhd @ Tmn Wahyu. Their fish head curry is good and fresh, though abit pricy... Our family stay in Cheras always go all the way north just for their food.
Such decent development but no takers? So its true that it really see your Mea Sui when it comes to property investment.😅😂
Personally, I don't think it is ethical to stay at low dense anymore. Especially when reserved forest is being cut down to make way for it. Resulting in more floods.
Eh?? Wow. What a different perspective to things. Thanks for sharing;)
