Bad accessibility from LDP, have to go thru a narrow tunnel.
Parking system a little messed up..
Visited a friend here, a reasonably quiet residential neighborhood with low density. If youre looking for a high end place/future investment, this is the perfect place for u. Good management and security. Visitors can park near guardhouse (to avoid excessive amount of vehicles inside that would annoy other residents)
Security sometimes doesnt understand what you said and the narrow entrance at the guardhouse sometimes causing an unnecessary queue...
Strategically located cuz building is connected to LRT Lembah Subang. But very poor management and security. Got few complaints about intruder in few months and management handle this poorly. There are also very limited CCTV in the building.
