Bad accessibility from LDP, have to go thru a narrow tunnel.
Parking system a little messed up..
1. A lot of defects. Submitting them means nothing to the management. They called me once and that's it, no one will come and fix anything.
2. The finishing - wall paint, bathroom tiles, etc are so bad. There's no quality to it.
3. No CCTV and surveillance in critical areas.
4. They were supposed to build an overhead pedestrian bridge. Well good luck trying to cross the 4 lane road in the morning.
Viewed my apartment today. Finishings were terrible. Gaps everywhere between walls n floorings. Nearly all door handles and hinges were rusting. Walls and doors were chipped. Glass window cracked n window panes loose.
Two aircons not working properly and the water heaters not working at all. Very disappointed.
Good location, good size units, 3 car parks. Finishing sucks but at least most rectified.
One of a kind design in PJ.
Beautiful place, full of greeneries, peaceful and perfect environment for families with young children. Ample facilities, and nice jogging track. Tight security.
But Could use a little paint touch up at the lift areas.
