@88

U may need to compare Sathu, Dua & even Ideal Haus (non-gated).
Each has its pros and cons depending on your taste, need, and concerns too.

Seeing is believing.

@James

do you know any of your neigbour want to let go the unit?

Community here has great teamwork, intruder like you can’t easily get in.

@viki

To prevent being accused of trying to drive down the price and RED EYES, and assumingly u have GENUINE heart to help other buyers, you can also share the stories with THESTAR. Office is just nearby. Otherwise it is merely accusations/defamations.

Or if really you so many concerns, buy some other established Taman la eg Bayan Baru, Sg 2, Lipsin, Sg Nibong. Don’t have to die-die go One Res ma……

Just curious —> this place is full of problems and bad neighbours…
Your friends stay in TR or heard from someone else also ?

Personal sugesstion

@viki
I think that the only problem is YOU, you tried to speculate unnecessary info to others, it is kind of noise being polluted and ignorance, you may need to watch out your own thinking, what is the problem with you instead of TR.

@88
Are you a property agent? I don’t plan to let go my unit at the moment but plan for own stay.

Be wise James. You must not make the wrong move like so many others who are regretting now

@viki
Only those speculator or flipper certainly be regretted, it is not as simply as to invest for the sake of investing. it is going to be high risk like gambling.

For those who bought it for own stay, there is nothing to be regretted. market is always up and down, no body can predict the future like seeing through a crystal ball, it is beyond normal justifcation, however, the wise approach is how you manage your risk well.

But this place has far too many risks according to many

Let other a chance to consider their options with real info

@Queen Bee

But this location is great, with nice landscaping according to many. Very hard to get good price nowadays for such project as many owners are planning to move in themselves.

When LRT starts operating from airport to Georgetown, the price will sure go up further.

@Queen Bee
you may also have to evaluate what type of risk for the type of property, that should be the wider way to measure the level of risk. if you buy it for own stay or long term investment, my experience tell me, the risk is always lower as compare to speculator or flipper.

As mentioned by Zen, the landscaping is fantastic, it amazed me when I saw this project, it is truly a good place for stay or retire. furthermore, the vicinity will be surrounding by a few primary and secondary, there will be an International schools, international school. if LRT project is come to picture, it makes a lot of difference for road accessibility especially those used to travel from South to north or vice versa in Penang. based on my observation, there are more and more facility and new project are coming up, like commercial lot, new infrastructure and so on.

Overall, the area is quite potential and good to look forward.

Personal suggestion

It sounded like they are being force to come here to buy?
If really concern, you can buy somewhere else, right? Or is there some sort of “intentions”
Free market

For those who condemn, could you suggest where else we can get similar landed freehold properties on the island side? with better quality and lesser issues?

So far I never saw any new property discussed in this forum without getting any bad comments. Always got a group of people say this bad, that bad. Wondering where do these people staying?

@ezalor
You are right. There should be more positive forumer like ah Chai. Sapu sapu sapu! the song is still playing, lets keep dancing!

They can say bad things provided there are truth and actual cases.
Then how big or serious or how many houses affected.
Sometimes I realized they Rojak other phases issue here and confuse everyone.

Hi everyone, it has been a few months since I last posted in this forum and things haven’t changed a bit. The same old bunch of green-eyed monsters are still here, trying to dissuade people from buying/investing in TR. Mud slinging game is still very much alive here. One thing I fail to understand is that what business is there for these people to talk bad about TR which is entirely non of their concerns. I moved in last month and just had my house warming party recently. Most if not all of my relatives and friends were full of envy and concurred with my buying the house.

I have been staying in TR for more than a month, my family and I are very pleased with the new way of living in a gated and guided surrounding. It’s very quiet and I could hardly hear any noise from a plane taking off or landing at the airport nearby. Security provided is acceptable though there are rooms for improvement. The living environment is pleasant and okay with its nice landscaping.

Some one did mention about bad neighbours. Well, it’s all depending on how an individual goes about doing PR and interacting with others. We cannot expect the same kind of friendly neighbours we get in the kampung. Luckily, my immediate neighbours are all nice people.

TR is not perfect, far from it in fact but if you are not fuzzy or choosy, it’s an above average choice. . With a lot of building activities going on in the area, TR is quite dusty when compare to my old house in Bayan Baru. The wrong choice of planting palm trees instead of shady and leafy trees making TR quite a warm place to live in true sense of the word. I still could not get used to the warm water from the shower every time I take my bath but my wife loves it.

I am a dr and I have very limited knowledge in commerce. But what I do know is supply and demand theory. The overall one residence concept is really nice. Give them few more years when nearly shops, school, garden become mature, this will become even better.
For those who said this is bad and expensive, please show me any new launch project that is better than this in terms of price wise ? As far as i know there is NO new landed project on island less than $1 mil . Well may be in mainland or may be balik pulau

@viki
Viki
No one regret, every one residence owner is making money including me who bought dua villas and tree residency .

as usual, got price no market.

@Lim
I sold one Dua villa 6 months ago for $1.12mil. Now still have one tree residency.

Hi,
how much? is it type 22? what facing?

@Lim

@wf
When I bought an intermediate 22×70 unit through subsale last August, I paid 1.02M for it. Some one in this forum said I was stupid. One year down the road, the asking price for the same type of houses have since raised to around 1.2M.
The latest transaction I knew is one 22×70 unit in Lorong 5, facing the outer garden,my friend managed to get it for 1.15M after some hard bargaining.
It’s quite clear that even if recession were to hit Malaysia, there is no way the prices of landed property dropping in due course.

Wow, within a year increase >20%!

I called agent they told me “normal” unit asking lowest is $1.28M. some even higher. but hv maintenance fees $160, but they told me for full facilities this is lowest in market, really??? anywhere else can get lower (not those just guarded type) for full facilities?

Then opposite there ideal Haus too on sale, $1.22M. I like it too but concern too “open”.

I passed by I saw some people already played at the garden. Not sure is it owner or outsiders?
Heard initially they plan guard house, but can they stop outsiders from playing it?

@wf
Since it is no guard house by default and design, the playground belongs to council, it should be considered as public area. so, by law, the public should have the right to use the playground or garden.

I am staying at Sathu Terraces. Stayed for 2 yrs already. I really like the 1-R concept. Landed G&G. It is reasonable travelling distance to factory as well as to primary school like Kwang Hwa-Shi Chung etc. So, I think it is nice to stay in Tree Residence as well.

@james
thanks a lot.

Is it fair deal?
Buyers paid this as part of the project but for public used…..do charity?

i try avoid paying maintenance fees (or at least lowest possible) but if this is too open also another concern.

Anywer else lower maintenance cost?

@wf
Actually, I am referring to Ideal haus project but not tree residency, Tree residency is G&G, the facilities are mainly for TR resident only, for Ideal Haus, it is non G&G, the garden or playground belong to public.

Yes I understand from your earlier point.
Ideal Haus no maintenance fees and the garden is open type.
I meant buyers are pre-paying for public used too.

But those landed G&G project with full facilities, any idea any other project can get lowest maintenance fees below RM160?

@wf
Many people frown at the idea of having to pay monthly maintenance fee. I was one of them but not any more. After being traumatised by two instances of house burglary, I took another look at the G & G concept and decided to give it a try. As far as maintenance fees are concerned, All the three G&G projects in One Residence have theirs under RM200 which I think are among the lowest in Penang and quite reasonable. My friend’s Central Park Condo is charging the owners at the rate of 18 sen per sq ft. I am paying RM178 for my TR type 22 duplex unit and I must say that it’s well worth it.

@wf
as far as G&G concept concern, the facilities is mainly for internal residence use as well as visitor from resident itself, I don’t understand what you are trying to mention about the pre-paying for public. please elaborate. as simply saying, facilities within G&G compound is not open for public.

Like “Subsale buyer” mentioned, the maintenance fee under RM200 for Tree residency actually is quite reasonable, furthermore, it provides a series of facilities, club house, gardening with landscaping, security and etc, if you compare to condominium, the maintenance fee is easily cost you more than 18 sen or above per sq ft (depending on the facilities and type of property), anyway, if you think RM160 (maintenance fee) is not worthwhile to pay and not deserve for this service, perhaps, G&G concept may not be a good option for you.

Please remember that you also need to include the inflation, everything is increasing yearly especially food and etc. please think objectively, in the end, it goes back to your own need. nothing is free in the world, you have to pay for it.

As summary, I would rather to pay for the service since a huge investment is made, whether is for own stay or investment, there is nothing to lose for long run, besides, what is the point of saving peanut and giving up the good as whole, especially security service is a must for landed property, is that worth to save?. personally, I don’t think so, furthermore, you are not paying for nothing, in fact, you enjoy the service and facility, my 2cents.

g :
is it worth it? SP setia phase 3, 3 story also 1.3M only, or Relau Semi D

Hello g,
I had stay in TR for a few month now. The living environment of G&G is different, in a very good way, from my perspective. If you have friend living in TR, you should ask them to bring you in and have a quick tour.

I have friend who live in SP Setia Pearl island who came and visit me. Their comment on TR/G&G please me. :).

G,

Overall, I feel that G&G for TR is very special and comfort, especially, the landscaping, playground and facilities. it is really amazing.

i think SPI cant be compare to this full G&G.

the good thing is that their fees are cheaper or even better not legally compulsory to pay.

Comparison should with others similar G&G scheme like, Ardmore, Whitelily, Permai etc.

I plan to buy a unit ( Double-story) in Tree Residence. Any is willing to sell ?

Thanks.

@Steve
Hi, is your tree residency unit still available?

@Adrian Lim
Not planning to sell. It is good for keeping . Like I said there is no new launch landed project in Penang anymore with price tag less than $1mil. Landed property in Penang particularly g&g is very valuable in near future. Importantly, Nowadays a decent condo will cost you around $700k. It is hard to find a tenant but I am happy to use it as holiday house when my overseas and interstate friends visit Penang .

Any unit of intermediate corner/ corner available? Direct owner if possible.

Is there any crack, floor collapse/ sinking issues at TR?

Lb :

No structural problem. No sinking problem whatsoever. So far… really good.

In the owners only FB group, someone mentioned that his/her neighbour is renting at RM2.4k!!. It is furnished a little bit here and there. If not wrong, even no kitchen, no grills.

People are willing to pay higher rent for better security and facilities.

@kotun
Thank you for your kind information!

I am also surprize by the fast increasing price of this G&G, it is just trailing closely behind SouthBay despite being a DST. already surpassed SPI terrace too.

Quite unexpected.

I am surprise that you felt surprise. Everything is going as per my expectation. My collegue last time laughed at me brought this at 700k ++. That time, i just smile back.

WF :

I agree that it is quite unexpected. Actually, for some people, me included, we have higher preference for DST. The layout and design are more practical. DST is also good for old people like me..

I’m not sure if Tree Residence is trailing Southbay, it could be the other way around. The last transacted price for 24ft wide (Type 24) intermediate in Tree Residence is 1.5mil, just transacted a few weeks ago.

I don’t recommend anyone buy 3 storey terrace.
My parents stay in 3 storey terrace and I can tell you they end up stay at 2nd floor
Nowadays not many gate and guarded project because the developer have to leave out some space for facilities which mean bigger land required
All I can say is one residence is really nice . It would become better after all projects and international school completed. Give it another 3 years and all the tree mature the whole compound look nicer

@expected
My friends also laughed at me. They said sungai ara and ideal developer are bad.
I actually regret sold my Dua villas . But at least still have one in tree residence.
I like the concept because I visit desa park city in kl. very very nice.

I live in KL and had visited Tree Residence twice recently. Very nice ambience and I believe a very acceptable place to live. Pored through the thread and discovered lots of unfounded stories or wishful hurts. Owners: TR is a nice place!

Westie :

Thanks for your kind words Westie. Very true, there are few keyboard warriors who tried hard to make TR look bad. We called those the “Hazers” :).

i am really doubt of the quality from ideal now…the water leaking in my condo now is a big problem…it might not show up when you just test it within warranty periode (1 year) but just right after that and now, it show up in many units…this is due to poor water prooving work and over the time, it slowly leak through.
Can you imagine you just move into a brand new condo but having leaking issue which is most headache part that people mostly worry for old condo above 10 years????
i am staying in one world now and the owner above my unit do not want to fix it just because his house also having same problem and the owner above him do not want to fix it..plaster ceiling also got hole so ugly… pissed off !!!

@hundredplus
You have the same comment in Tree sparina https://www.penangpropertytalk.com/2013/05/tree-sparina-ideal-vision-park/comment-page-3/#comment-317485.

You should seek for the right authority to solve your problem. solve the problem instead of complaining, my view with no offend.

Below is my comment:

@hundredplus
I doubt any leaking issue on your roof, by procedure, you should seek the help from management. if the unit above yours doesn’t want to repair their floor, legal approach should be undertaken to resolve your problem. you should report this issue to your building management or seek for advice.

Water leaking is common issue for high rise in Malaysia, it is not a new topic, perhaps, you should get to the right authority to rectify your problem. For quality issue, i have not much comment about that, it is case by case basis, that is why for any new development, developer always give 18 months period of defect repair for free, beyond the warranty period, it is on your own cost or you need to settle it with the unit above you in sharing the cost. Nothing is unbreakable forever, therefore, the service maintenance after sale is crucial.

However, even the warranty period has expired, there is no reason the buidling management could refuse to look into your case, kindly report this issue to your building management , the most important is how well the service is in term of building maintenance. my view.

TR is a nice place. However, selling price by flippers are too high. Bank recommended fair value is only 1.2 mil for terrace here yet some asking 1.45 mil. Some banks do give higher valuation (normally arranged by agents) but this is not a real value. Actual value is much lower.

@jane

Landed properties in a nice set up with facilities are far in between. Why shouldn’t the flippers flip when they have holding power. The economic downturn for country would correct itself (mark my word – this is the fourth cyclical ups-downs). Unless whole country is unlivable water shall find its mark. Owners might have held properties for the last 3 to 5 years. Holding interest though is low is not zero. Inflations besides the shrinking ringgit make RM1.35 million sub sale not too unpalatable. By the way I am not an agent but has a home in one of the Lor Rajawalis. .

Nice hunting. Have a real good day.

@Anson Lee
for own stay, you can consider setia pearl island. some decent pricing there. 1.1 mil -3story

southbay can also be consider. GnG too. Price has dropped a lot. Now rm1.16mil and can nego somemore. used to be asking 1.4 mil… then 1.35 mil….. now going lower and lower. check out mudah.my yaa

@jane
Then, you can go to compare by yourself before conclusion, anyway, the price based on the quality lah. if you want cheap one instead of quality, TR might not suitable for you. my 2cents

Any seller pls email me your unit details & selling price. I’m interested

since many cannot sell of the units for semi d, why not convert all units into workers hostel? at least can get money to pay loan rather than just keep house there with lalang growing only.

with the currrent corona and bad market, i think cannot sell of subsale for 20-30 years.

@lyecheung
It is a community and strata title. Homestay is prohibited and not allow to convert into hostel.

any units for sale

@james
James, fully agree with you, the location is good with high potential for price up
