Grab this chance to own a resort-style condo unit

HOW many property offerings in the Klang Valley are in the price range of RM150,000 to slightly above RM200,000?

Think hard. Not many, right?

Well, this is the golden opportunity for property buyers, newlyweds and young couples planning to start a family to get a home at a very reasonable price.

It’s called Villa Park.

Nestled in the commune of the Bukit Jalil Technological Park, the condominium development is embellished with resort-style facilities – plush landscape and generous spaces for leisurely activities in the common area, and not to mention, a hard-to-miss Balinese-themed décor to invigorate tired souls.

The straight visual linkage between the bedroom corridor and the kitchen and dining hall exhibits the unit's functionally-designed layout
“The property can be owned by those with a combined income of between RM5,000 and RM6,000. You really can’t find similar developments with such spacious designs in the vicinity with similar facilities and amenities.

"Furthermore, we are absorbing homebuyers’ mortgage loan interest during the construction period, on top of providing free legal fees on sale and purchase agreement, and early bird discounts,” said developer Villamas Sdn Bhd’s managing director Gan Teck Seong. A 7% discount for Bumiputra buyers apply.

There are 392 units in total, segregated by two blocks – 206 in Block A and 186 in Block B. To be launched next month is Block B, followed by the other one on a later date.

“We are expecting completion in November 2010, and we’re giving a complimentary parking bay for unit purchases.

"They may also opt for a second parking lot at only RM18,000. There’s a 50% discount on the extra parking bays purchases for early birds, which comes up to only RM9,000,” added Gan.

Villa Park is situated to the south of the Bukit Jalil National Sports Complex (7km away) and Technology Park Malaysia (about 300 meters apart) and to the north and north-west of Taman Bukit Serdang.

Once fully erected, it shouldn’t be too difficult to spot the two-tower condominium development right from the adjacent highway – the Jalan Sungai Besi-Puchong Expressway, when passing Astro’s head office.

Residents of Villa Park may save time further with the new link road currently under construction, which branches out from Jalan Sungai Besi-Puchong Expressway, cutting through the housing area.

Expect total comfort and spaciousness with Villa Park's space-generous floor plan
Otherwise, you can also reach Villa Park via the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Highway, followed by the service roads of Taman Serdang Raya and laterite paths of Taman Bukit Serdang – a new housing project in the immediate catchment area comprising medium-cost apartments and two-storey terraces.

Nearby shopping malls like the South City Plaza, The Mines Shopping Fair and Endah Parade will keep you occupied during the weekends. A turf club fan? The Selangor Turf Club is just 3 kilometres away.

Couples and families with school-going children will be served well with the many primary, secondary and international schools and universities in this area.

Namely, they are SJK (C) Serdang Baru (1), SJK Bandar Baru Seri Petaling; SMK Seri Kembangan, SMK Bandar Baru Seri Petaling; the Australian International School and the Alice Smith International School.

Universiti Putra Malaysia, International Medical University and the Universiti Tenaga Nasional are also within the area.

How does it look like inside?

The development boasts three design layouts – Type X, Type Y and Type Z. To start with, Type X units are priced from RM172,800 to RM185,300 with a minimum built-up of 1,106 sq ft. There’s a special “lanai” porch just outside the living hall for this unit design and the owner is free to convert it into either an outdoor meet-the-sun balcony or enclose it with an external glass partition to form part of your living room.

“It’s interesting as each unit here has its own storage heater – you don’t need to install a bulky water heater on the wall of your lavatory. Just turn on the tap, and voila, hot water pours out,” said Gan.

Type Y units, on the other hand, are priced between RM197,300 and RM209,800 with built-up from 1,300 sq ft onwards.

The lowest entry units are from Type Z, which have built-ups from 956 sq ft.

Prices are from RM152,800 to RM165,800.

The open floor plan concept provides visual linkage from the living room through to the dining hall and subsequently, the kitchen.

Hence, you almost get an entire glance of your abode with one look.

Centralised facilities?

Notable sports facilities in Villa Park include full-sized futsal and basketball courts, a gym room, family-oriented cafeteria, children’s playground, gazebo, wading pool and a 30-meter lap pool. Besides that, there’s also a multipurpose hall, barbecue area, a kindergarten, convenience store, an indoor shower and changing room, an ICT room, as well as a surau.

Security worries? Fret not with the single entry-exit point, 24-hour guarded security, and CCTV in crucial spots.
