Good condo for the UCSI South Wing Students and from TBS to Here, taxi rate is MYR 6.70
Very good modern and newly constructed condo.. lots of access point and within walking distance from MRT station taman Connaught SBK26 ... Several good service shops can be found there like a pharmacy, mamak, mynews and more.. very good place for rent prices are around MYR800 for a single room upto MYR1500 for a two bedrooms unit
Nice high end condo with facilities like swimming pool, gym, sauna, squash court, table tennis, children playground etc. Location is not far from KL city centre and yet you have the jungle just at the back of the condo. Beside the condo there is a tracking trail where you can do jungle hiking.
Situated on a slope, near USCI University and many other food stalls, with 2 gates both guarded by guards, with a grocery and a mamak stall opened inside, they have a pool, a gym, an indoor badminton court, outdoor basketball court (although almost nobody uses it). Management is very nice as they schedule cleanings very often. A cleaner sweeps the fallen leaves, onn the road and in the pool, the guards are polite and responsible (of course if you're polite to them also), the pool gets maintained. Not the fanciest condo, but definitely a delightful place to reside in.
If you really want to rent a place here, make sure it's a South or West facing unit. There is way too much noise coming in from the Suke highway construction.
